    If a tree falls in a forrest...I've got nothing.

    Saw them fly a loop around downtown SA. Pretty cool.

    Prosecutors frequently overcharge then reduce to a lesser offense during plea bargain. As BE said, a charge does not mean the offense occurred. Overcharging is a serious criminal justice issue that needs to be addressed.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/world/middleeast/nazi-medical-text-israel.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage I thought this was an interesting story of medicine, history, geo-politics, ethics, and humanity others might enjoy.

    Computer AIDS.

    I didn't mean you or even her. But it's a common enough sentiment in the online. I think it gets said or is implied so often that the notion becomes normalized which I think is a wrong in itself. But I understand that's not what you're saying.

    I hear where you're coming from, but I don't know if I agree with the notion (if I understand you correctly) that voting for the lesser of two "evils" is a cultural problem. It's distasteful to an extent I suppose, but it's also realpolitik. Realpolitik is at its essence pragmatism. Voting pragmatically reflects maturity and wisdom in my mind. That's not to say we shouldn't push for high character pragmatic people like Obama, but I don't think it reflects a cultural infirmity of spirit to vote for someone who's good but not great when the alternative is literally exponentially worse. I'll also say I don't think it's fair for people to characterize Biden as an "evil" choice. He's imperfect and not as innately progressive as I'd like, but I think he is a good and decent man and will surround himself with a diverse and very progressive team that will enact the most progressive agenda America has seen since LBJ.

    San Antonio DA is a former defense attorney and a progressive guy in terms of criminal justice reform.

    I'm betting it's Kamala. Doesn't put a Senate seat in Republican hands for the first few months of Biden's presidency. Appeals to the critical black constituency. She has issues with her prosecutor past, but I don't think anyone will care. Plus she'll be a good attack dog.

    They are evil fucks.

    I must live in a bubble because I don't know anyone who thinks Trump is a better option. I asked more in disbelief than in expecting a serious response. Sent from my G5 using Tapatalk

    Do you think Trump is a better option than Biden?

    Just saw the video. At least 2nd degree murder by most state standards. Looks like Georgia doesn't distinguish between 1st degree (pre-mediation) and 2nd degree (no pre-meditation), there's just murder. I imagine they make that distinction implicitly in sentencing.

    That's all true I guess. Posting on an online forum is basically mental masturbation. Tell me more about the dick circle jerks. I'm intrigued.

    What coating did you use?

    I'm so happy I found this thread. Constant chubbie. Here are some red wine braised beef short ribs I'm smoking.

    Fair enough. That all being the case, why do you post so much anti-Biden stuff? He's not my ideal candidate by any stretch, but he's what we have. How does constantly attacking him advance what I believe should be the primary aim of any moral and decent person to get rid of racist misogynist anti-poor Trump?
  19. Orale
    Well, you posted a picture of a woman wearing a photoshopped shirt that said Biden can grab her....That strikes me as a pro-Trump post because it denigrates his opponent Joe Biden. You're of course free to support whomever you want, but what about Trump do you like so much?
  20. Orale
    I'm confused about you. Sometimes you seem progressive, then you post pro-Trump stuff. What is your political ideology exactly?
  21. Orale
    I voted for Warren. Trump is literally evil and deadly incompetent. Voting for Joe will be easy.
  22. Orale
    I believe Joe. Even if I didn't, I'd still vote for him because Trump is far worse and is an existential threat to our nation. Everything else is pablum.

    It said 1/2", but I thought for liability purposes to do 3/4". Doesn't cost much more.

    It's a commercial building and that's what the structural engineer called for. I was curious about that as well and read on an engineering forum that the double board is required to allow for sufficient nail length (3") for the joist hangers. My engineer called for the anchors to be staggered every 12".

    Just change out the header for a thicker one or add a one-by board to the current header, wood filler to the seams, sand, and repaint the frame to blend it in.
