I read an article yesterday that said they delayed the trial by a day to see if they could get 3rd degree murder charges listed as an alternative to 2nd degree. They would still go for 2nd degree murder, but some pundits felt that if the 3rd degree option was on the table the jurors might consider that instead.
its all bullshit and it makes me really worried this guy is going to somehow end up not being convicted of murder... and the holy shit-dom that would come from that is terrifying.
Better start hoarding supplies now.

Why do so many want to take sides? Isn't it possible that absolutely everyone involved in this story, from the Markles, to the Royal Family, to Piers Morgan and Oprah, are all complete sacks of shit who don't merit anyone's attention other than as soap opera distraction material? If we're all just arguing in the same way people might debate the merits of which bachelorette should be chosen (i.e. knowing full well it's fake bullshit and doesn't matter but serves as some form of low brow entertainment) then I guess that makes sense. Seems like a lot of you are actually upset one way or the other about this.
Rich, talentless ass wipes argue with each other with no actual consequences and they're all still rich. Film at 11. I look forward to the reunion special when the kids are grown.

Basically she promotes the tearing down of our entire civilization, but wraps it up in some nice feel good language. Good for her, I guess. Seems no less seditious than the morons at the Capitol.

Getting the second dose tomorrow. The first one led to chills, fever, and headache. Hit on the day after the injection and only lasted about twelve hours. I'm not looking forward to what the second dose is going to do, but I'm glad to be getting it.

You should go to your wife's work as they will have extra since the teachers only need 9/12 of a dosage...since they don't need to work in the summer.

Not saying they don't own responsibility but you can't make kids do want they don't want to do. Their metric to enforce are grades. Beyond grades, what else can do they to encourage the kid and mom to give a shit?
Kids like that shouldn't be in school in the first place. They should have just flunked his ass if he wasn't doing the work until he got the message or dropped out. That's one small part of the problem with our public school system. We cater to the lowest common denominator instead of focusing on pumping out as many high functioning citizens as possible. I have no idea about Maryland, but I suspect pushing him along was tied to funding issues.

Education starts in the home. Parents who don't give a shit about their kids education will have stupid poor kids. The fact that this mom was "surprised" that her son only passed three classes and then blames the school is the reason why her son is a fucking idiot. Tree, meet the apple spawn at your feet.
I agree with you, and if you can come up with a plan for fixing what goes on in people's homes I'm all ears. Until that riddle is solved all we can do is try and fix the education system, which is plenty broken on its own.

It was originally entitled "Opus Dais Jizzus" and was to be their ballad answer to "Bohemian Rhapsody"...but you know how the labels always fuck it up.
Seriously though---it is criminal how little Adler has been taken to task on his handling of the leadership at Austin Water. I mean the fucking Chronicle hasn't even bothered to look into the story and they look into the most mundane shit.
I'm all for Adler catching pure shit, but let's not forget the person who should really be crucified for this: Spencer Cronk. Fucker makes over $300k+ per year and this is the best he can do? He's the dumbass who hired Greg Meszaros ($200k+) and Jackie Sargent ($400k+). All three of them should be on the next bus back to where they came from. And they should take any of their other hires with them.

Our public education system is the biggest problem we face as a nation, in my opinion. It may already be too late, but if we don't make major changes soon our nation will certainly come to an ignominious and rapid end.

Shaka gets outcoached a lot. He rarely gets out-talented, but he routinely gets outcoached. I'm not an insider, but all I ever hear from the guy is a bunch of New Age metaphysical garbage about diffuse abstractions like connectivity, being the best version of yourself for each other, and similar nonsense. When the other team doesn't have a legit post player (nobody taller than 6' 7" except some stiff from Serbia who never sees the floor) and you have freaking three of them, that would seem to suggest a gameplan of selling out to score inside. Either Shaka didn't comprehend that and plan accordingly, or he did and his team blew him off. His guys seem to do what they feel like doing anyway, so I'm not sure concepts as quaint as a gameplan are even worth talking about. He's had six years, tons of legit talent, several lottery picks, and he is in danger of leaving without ever having won a tournament game here. Pathetic.
I think the bolded part is the key. Tons of talent, but too many of them are more concerned about shit talking and showboating than they are winning games. That comes back to coaching too, of course. Recruit guys who actually want to play college ball and maybe some games will be won. I know it's the curse of the 1 and done era, but sheesh.

At what point do we just annex the back 40? America could use some more space - it's getting crowded in here.

These. If it was as simple as stupid people making their own choice and only impacting themselves, I’m ask for that. But there are a lot of people who can suffer unnecessarily that way, and it affords the virus more opportunities to mutate into a form that more seriously compromises vaccines. Ultimately the defining attribute is probably selfishness.I'd be fine with rounding up antivaxxers and tossing them into a walled off section of the Nevada desert to fend for themselves. No vaccines required for admission!

When they mention there will be regular downtime right on the main web page, it doesn't sound like a solid choice if you work from home until they get more established.

I wonder if the HC workers response is because they have to deal with the bureaucracy/red tape of the Government involvement in healthcare and don't have faith in it. I would be jaded being in their shoes.
Talking with doctor friends about the reason for this, and their response has all been some version of, "The percentage of techs and nurses working in healthcare who went to med school is the exact same percentage as those who don't work in healthcare at all. Even among the doctors, most of them don't know shit about epidemiology. In other words, they're just as susceptible to online conspiracy nonsense as anyone else. The public shouldn't be taking any direction from what healthcare workers do or don't do. They don't know any more than anyone else, and the percentage of them that are ignorant mouth breathers is no different than that of the general populace."
Makes sense to me.

Wow, it would be the literal definition of the Prosperity Gospel, no? The more you send him, the more likely he is to defeat his legal/financial demons, which means the more likely he is to re-assume the Oval Office in 2025, which means the more money will come back to you in the form of booming economy/tax cuts?
God damnit so many people would actually fall for that. Throw in the promise of even more pro-lifers in the judiciary and bingo bango he's back!

So why are we worried about stupid people not taking a shot that can save their lives?
1. Vaccines get taken by smart people
2. Vaccines don't get taken by stupid people
3. Covid still spreads but generally more amongst stupid people and when smart people get it they don't get seriously ill/die
4. Stupid People Die
5. Darwin profits
Notice...no ????? in that scenario
That would work great so long as it doesn't mutate when spreading amongst the morons and become vaccine resistant. And it would, because Murphy is an asshole.

I'd bet 95% of his supporters think he's a billionaire and 95% of his supporters couldn't identify what kind of a corporation flow-thru "The Trump Organization" is. And even if they did 95% of them couldn't read his balance sheet with a gun to their heads.
To be fair, neither could 95% of his detractors.
When it all comes to light, those who hate him will laugh and point. Those (hopefully shrinking by the day) who love him will find a way to convince themselves he's always been successful and has been treated unfairly.

First Moderna shot two weeks ago. Sore arm, nothing special. Had fever, chills, headache, and fatigue hit about 24 hours later. It only lasted about 12 hours and wasn't too bad. It kind of ruined the Super Bowl though. That and the Chiefs O-line.

The same amount of ire directed at the state/ercot/electric market needs to be directed at the local regulated electric and water utilities as well. Frozen pipes are one thing, but how these fucksticks in Austin could let their main water plant lose power, particularly when they were not using rolling blackouts in order to prioritize “critical” infrastructure, is beyond comprehension. Remember when these chuckle fucks tweeted out that everything was fine with the water supply, and then promptly ran out of supply in a few hours?
That's where nearly all of the ire for Austin residents should be directed. The days long blackouts, and days long water shortage are completely on the city of Austin. So long as Spencer Cronk, Greg Meszaros, and Jackie Sargent all get their ass fired once the dust settles on this, I won’t mind the trouble that much. They're all incompetent ass clowns.

Exactly. And most in Texas have GFA, right?
