Do any of you guys have one of the ~$500 launch monitors?
im debating getting one of the rapsodo/garmin/flight scope/etc monitors for the range and back yard.

it just seems like the ability of the GOP to take an absolute insane stance on guns is possible because they know that no matter how ridiculous they are on that they have the anti abortionists and low taxes business owners. It seems a lot easier to take ridiculous hard line stances on things when you know there is no chance you lost your other single issue voters.
but this is probably well beyond how cloak roomy things should get on this board.

But a multi-party system is no better. It just puts the same type of exercise into a less-formal coalition-building exercise.
In America, if your one issue on which you're going to vote is the environment, then you vote Democratic.
In Germany, if your one issue is the environment, you vote Green. But what then happens with your vote? You get a few members in the Bundestag. Great--good for you. But to be in government, you have to join a coalition. And who are you going to join with? Right now, the Greens are in coalition with the SPD and the FDP. The fucking FDP? That's the fucking equivalent to a Texas Business Republican. If you're a Green voter, you don't support a lot of what the Government of which your party is a coalition member does (that's even more true of a Jamaica coalition, where the Greens are in coalition with the CDU and FDP, which has happened in state governments). But you're going to get some environmental shit done, which is what Green voters care about.
All the American two-party system does is formalize that into pre-formed coalitions. But fundamentally, neither the process nor the outcome is wildly different from what you get with a multi-party system.
This post confirms that I don’t know enough about how multi-party democracy function to be able to really add much. But it sure feels like if from my perspective, having more choices would curtail some of the blatant partisanship. It also seems that it would make gerrymandering a bit less clear cut, but maybe not.

I'm terribly sick of this "oh, the two-party system is to blame" bullshit. It's just pseudo-intellectual garbage for people who don't want to engage in the substance of an issue.
There is one party that is dead right on this issue and one party that is dead wrong. And it's just pointless sophistry to say "woe, but for the two-party system, . . . ." Bullshit. If you care about preventing children from being murdered in their classrooms, then vote Democratic.
If you don't, then don't.
But don't come to me and say "I favor background checks and an assault-weapons ban, but I have to vote Republican because of taxes." That just tells me that you think a few bucks in your pocket is worth more than a child's life. That's hardly the political virtue you think it is (speaking here directly to @BabaYaga and not you, Heso).
And don't come to me and say this is the result of some peculiarity in the two-party system. There are plenty of other countries with two-party systems that (1) have had no trouble imposing serious limitations on guns and (2) have very few mass shootings as a result.
This is the result of something else entirely.
That’s all well and good and I’m of the opinion that anyone still voting Republican is just a flat out bad person. And the legality of anyone and everyone to own anything more automatic than a bolt action rifle is just reason 1000. But the fact is that the two party system allows clean segmentation of single issue voters and “bus” voters to be convicted that the other bus is going in the wrong direction. Hardcore “the government should have no say in my life” libertarians and people that want the government to regulate the legality of medical decisions should never be voting in the same direction, but they do here in the good old USA where democracy is just red vs blue kleptocracy.
In general, I agree with you that this is a failing of the GOP evilly painting gun control as a freedom issue. I don’t think that is entirely separate from the complete inability of a legitimate 3rd party to rein in the ability of both parties to shape everything as us vs them.

Voting is like taking the bus - you go with what gets you closest to your destination, even if it's not front door service.
But because of the two party system we have here we have busses that go east and west, when most of the country wants to go north.

Oven on warm does better at holding, imo, and you won’t burn up your fuel just to hold.
It’s an electric smoker and a gas oven. I figured the electric box would do a better job of holding. I think the lowest setting on my oven is 175 or 185, whereas the electric smoker’s lowest setting is 100 so I assumed that would have an easier time holding a low temp than the oven firing gas for a short period and then shutting off and cycling all night/morning.

Smoking brisket and pork butt today for lunch tomorrow. The meat will likely be done in the range of midnight tonight.
Should I rest it, then refrigerate it after it’s done and reheat closer to lunch time, or set the electric smoker to 160-170 and just hold it hot, wrapped in foil for 10 hours?

Pens are out. Guess my team is the stars the rest of the way.

I can’t wrap my head around being in the arena and the second your team wins the series and your first instinct is to pull out your phone instead of just enjoying the moment.

3-3 at the end of 3. OT. next goal wins the series.
-
Tied up at 3.

Fuck yea! Pens take the lead on a great short handed goal.

Not sure, too much water? How does the rest of the plant look?
I don't think that's a sign of nematodes.
I don’t think it’s too much water, but I’m not sure. The rest of the plant is great, growing fast and strong.
8 hours ago, Mrs Whiggins said:Perhaps a fungal pathogen as the culprit. If so, a fungicide may help. I use a spray on mine once in a while but I will need to go look up the label as I cannot recall the name.
Thanks, I’ll give that a shot.

What is happening to my tomato plant’s stem? Of the 8 plants I have they all seem to have been affected by this to some degree. On some it’s just a section of the stem with no hairs. This was the strongest of the plants other than this section. -

Shesterkin is so good.
-
Make it 5-2. Fuck.
-
Pens were dominating play early in the 3rd and Shesterkin made a handful of great saves. Rangers toss one from the corner towards the opposite circle and it hits one of the penguins in front of the net and bounces in. 4-2 rangers.

Booooom!

Avs - preds gonna be over before this one.
