  1. Somewhat curious that the rest of the sports world has moved towards analytical evaluations of players yet somehow the Heisman has gone the total opposite direction into just picking QBs from top 10 teams

    This Jon Cooper dude is the dumbest motherfucker on twitter.  It's not a loan *TO* a foreign creditor, it's *FROM* a foreign creditor.  Also, Daewoo has "ties to North Korea" about the same way that Nike does.

    Thank you. There are a handful of these accounts (like Cooper) that are just clickbait bullshit.

    Quick tip: If you are following a non-journalist on twitter and they like to begin tweets with:

    THIS IS HUGE!:

    BREAKING!!:

    HOLY HELL!!

    THIS JUST IN!!

    Then you should understand that what you're reading is likely bullshit

    While I agree that Thomas should recuse himself from insurrection cases, he not doing so doesn’t support your specific claim that either he, or SCOTUS in general, “aided an insurrection.”

    Guess it depends on whether or not you believe you can provide aid to something after the fact. The crime of "accessory after the fact" would support such a proposition, and Thomas being the lone dissent on the case wherein the J6 committee sought presidential records as part of their insurrection investigation would support the argument that he is aiding the insurrectionists.

    Makes sense that when a dude is willing to off someone and/or himself, letting him slide with a low bond and a protective order is the way to go.

    I wasn't aware that municipal judges set bond without the DA office's input. That's kind of fucked. 

    When someone is arrested, there are usually a few days before defendant is in court in front of a judge, represented by an attorney, with a prosecutor present. In the meantime, something has to be done. Where I practice, the police set bail based on the "bail schedule." They simply look at what they've arrested the defendant for, and find the accompanying bail. When the case is in front of a judge two days later, its not uncommon for the DA to ask for an increase in bail due to factors that were not known to the police at the time. The DA, of course, is under no obligation to stick with the bail or even the charges the defendant was arrested for.

    I imagine that's similar to what happened here.

    Just ordered up a couple PCKT VRTCL, as recommended up thread by @Foosters. So heads up, bub, you're on the clock. 😄

     

    Speaking of carts. Picked up a gram cart of UK Cheese. It's distillate, but honestly not bad at all. Kind of an ass kicker if you're not careful. This particular brand uses that dual-pass type extraction machine. Gets the THC first pass, the terps on the second, and then they're recombined. Price wasn't great, but getting better at $55 for a 1g.

    However, I'm going to start kicking my own carts I think. Or try to anyway. Allegedly the PCKT can do concentrates, so I think if I smash some goodies and put the goo in there with a few drops of a complimentary terpene to thin it down just a tick. Probably limonene. If it works (and it should, I mean if some not-so-bright criminal can do it then it can't be stupid hard) then it would be a pretty good solution for me as my personal cost to make a 1g cart would be $15-$20.

     

    Nice! Hope it doesn't let you down.

    I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to cut back on my overall THC use, but part of that was my exclusive use of vaping cartridges which I still have some long term concerns about. Living with my 6 year old daughter, however, meant I didn't think I could really get into flower due to the smell, prep, etc. After talking to a friend, just pulled the trigger on the Xmax V3 Pro for vaping flower. Arrived yesterday and looking forward to trying it.

    Kind of an entry level piece but with a lot of great reviews out there. Anyway, excited to get back to buying flower.

    There have been numerous proposals in the many threads we have on this site posted by people active in the "gun culture" about the issue. Almost all of them have been been shouted down as not restrictive enough by the other side. All the while saying that the gun lobby refuses to compromise while stupidly ignoring the fact that most of the stuff they are asking for were in fact compromises that were made in order to get the laws they want passed in the first place.

    Yes, it's the gun lobby that's reasonable and not filing suits seeking to enjoin cities and states from passing even the most modest gun and ammo regulations. What in the world do "proposals" on internet message boards have to do with actual policy?
