Nice Guy Eddie

I will die on a hill saying that the Chris Mullin-Patrick Ewing era was the pinnacle of college basketball. It felt like ESPN had a colossal Bkg East game every other night, or the ACC did. I concede that I was 12-13, and couldn’t get enough of college basketball at the time.

I imagine that Abbott is going to take something like this as a challenge and look to pass a law where the question isn’t voluntary and lying is illegal. when you point out a loophole to a rule maker, they close the loop hole. i also expect a project veritas type group will send some Hispanic looking people, with hidden cameras and mics, into one of these hospitals to catch an overworked ER register telling them to ignore the question.

As a non-parent, and that isn’t changing, I sit back in amusement at parents who bring their multiple, <5 yo, kids to a bar for college football games. Just a constant cycle of yelling, throwing things and eventual crying. Kids not the parents. The meltdowns look to occur when the child is told no for the first time im not judging you but others are. lol. I can see why the parents are getting drunk or at least one of them.

Love college football but I can’t watch game day. Prefer catching about ~5 minutes of highlights either during the broadcast or later. I really don’t see how someone sits thru 3 hours of it.

Bonfire was an obvious tragedy and I understand trying to give meaning for the death of those students but I was always disgusted how some Ags played the story into their own mythology. Those 12 should all be living normal lives today instead of dying for a rule breaking bonfire.

Whew. The btc recession of Nov 25-29 is over. Until the next one.

The police can just as easily submit questions to a suspect’s/person-of-interest’s lawyer. Not talking directly to the police might make you look guilty to the public but thats 100x better than going to prison.

But you don’t have to be in the top 0.5% to do well under Trump. But if you’re just someone that gets by on your paycheck or SS check. You’re screwed. For those who fit that description and voted for Trump, too fucking bad.

Growing up Holliman was one of those guys that you recognized on many tv shows or older movies. I distinctly recall him as the cook on forbidden planet. He asked Robby the robot to duplicate his pint of Kentucky bourbon. Robby came back with many pints. I also believe he was the star of the twilight zone debut episode. Lived to 96.

When I slightly wonder if I should feel sorry for him, I recall how he tried to ruin and perhaps have others violently harm the election workers.

Yeah but it beats the 90 minute trip to HEB on shepherd.

Many of those sites no longer allow US users to log onto their accounts. And the account may not longer exist but you can attempt to log on. At one point, they advised customers to download reports but that was years ago. If you know the date that you purchased or roughly the month, you should be able to get a decent idea about the cost on coinmarketcap.

As for the doctor telling patients not to answer the citizenship question, he's putting the hospitals' tax exempt status at risk. Not-for-profit hospitals and their employees are not supposed to participate in politics. For employees I mean in terms of representing the hospital. The doctor could make a political statement on his own but he's risking his job if he describes himself as a TCH doctor. And even if the govt is ultimately unable to punish the hospital or healthcare system, it's stupid of the doctor to risk his employment by making a political statement. Now if he's not representing himself in any way as a TCH doctor, then I don't think he's in the wrong. Or he could advise patients on the law of ignoring the question and the lack of consequences but he shouldn't give his recommendation. just my 2 cents.

Curious as to whether Jack Smith or Garland could decide to release all of the records to the public or at least the House and Senate so that their evidence is available for historic purposes. Or they can leave them behind for Pam Bondi to shred. With the charges dropped does the presiding judge still have control of the case? If Smith/Garland released the evidence, would they be breaking any laws? I'm assuming they would redact any classified info.

free universal healthcare could be subtitled, "worse healthcare for all". the problem isn't that the US pays too much for drugs, which we do, the problem is that the rest of the world is a free rider for these drugs. Pass a law that we will pay the median price negotiated by other western countries. Force them to cover more of the costs and profits of the pharm industry.

that was going to happen once Trump won. Were they going to prosecute Trump for having documents that he shouldn't have in 2022 but has 100% access to the files in Jan 2025? not to mention that Trump could once again (first time?) declare those documents as unclassified and therefore there would be ridiculous to prosecute him. As always, the problem was slow prosecution and a judge who did everything to slow it down.

The gop communicates that the left is full of radicals when it’s a relatively small amount. The problem is that the moderate left doesn’t want to upset those “radicals” so they don’t refute much of the rights talking points. When they have refuted talking points, dems have been successful IMO. Dems should also flip the script in the other direction. Yes it requires hyperbole but that is what works in today’s communication. Create clips of public schools turning into prayer centers and add in a creepy reverend getting too close to a student. Show an incel school shooter getting excited watching a trump clip. Show the manosphere podcasters talking about women staying in the kitchen, losing the right to vote and not being able to divorce abusive men. we have crazy (more than Trump) republicans in school boards, state legislatures and even national. Use the worst of them against the entire party. Put them on the defensive. Dems should be able to win a close Midwest senate seat just by showing clips of the Oklahoma education leader.

Not a believer in prayer but hoping the best for the guy. Get well!

Chuck Woolery played a race tv announcer in Six Pack. Anyone in a movie with Anthony Michael hall and Diane Lane, in their teens, as a NASCAR pit crew is ok by me.

Possibly she’s not a world class doctor in terms of straight As and getting into a top notch school. But by all accounts she’s a qualified family medicine doctor. She just looks like she prioritized being a media doctor in addition to her practice. Some doctors also minimize their practice to go into business or practice/hospital leadership. we have a problem with US based med schools not producing enough doctors so we have to look outside for doctors. That alone doesn’t make them incompetent besides the surgeon general’s job is about communication. From a few clips that I’ve seen I haven’t noticed her telling Covid patients to drink bleach. She does seem to be critical of some Covid measures like extended quarantine periods for people exposed but she was also pro vax which is partially surprising for a Fox News correspondent. I’m sure Fox producers downplayed her vax opinions on air.

Kiffin doing all he can to ensure they don’t make the SEC championship game.

Dammit, when I saw the labor secretary is a current gop house member from Oregon, I got my hopes up that the Dems could flip her seat tightening up the house mix. But then learned that she just lost her incumbency to a Dem.

Trump probably has a ton of crap that needs to be sold because he was unsure that he would get elected. Instead of quietly selling it, why waste an opportunity to sell something that rubes think can be handed down in the family. This century’s version of a family owning a pen reportedly used by George Washington.

The retail sites are now asking over 100k for a Bitcoin due to their inflated ask prices. Only a matter of time for the advanced price to go over the hump as well. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Can’t believe we’re at 6 figures.

I've recently purchased a Whoop body tracker that I like but don't like the results so far. I like how it estimates the strain you're putting your body through each day, and if your rest/sleep is allowing you to fully recover or not. As previously written my sleep sucks lately so I'm in the red for sleep and recovery with Whoop. In talking with long term Whoop users, they tell me how their experience is that when you have a few drinks at night, the Whoop numbers easily identify how your sleep is worse.
