Wow, I'd be in heaven if Stanford can finagle the Big 10.
Big 10 wanting a baseball school?

Remember Thou Art Mortal bump.
Started this thread with my bad calcium score. Then the stress test, which kinda was okay - cardiologist thought it was a coin flip to take a CT angiogram. Just got the results. Bad. Now I'm scheduled for the actual angiogram (catheterization).
Wish me luck you boys.
If we aren't essentially training as if we were preparing for the Tour De France, we are doing it wrong.

The Earth can carry significantly more people than are on it now.
It cannot carry as many people as it has now when there's a significant chunk - mainly in the West - living at a very resource intensive and wasteful level.
Ok cool. Hook 'em.
(So therefore it fucking can't carry significant more people than are on it now.)

Does not have blue eyes.

Ha ha. Nope. Our little guy (who looks like my avatar) will not abide, nor will the wife.
This huskyish bitch does have a good disposition and walking her is a joy -- she doesn't seem to mind the heat and is putting me through the paces.

Not meaning to threadjack,this happy thread, but thought some of you might have some thoughts on this less happy but hopeful thread.

I'll just give you the narrative. The help I need is I just want to make sure this female dog isn't euthanized. She showed up at a neighbor friends house looking very thin, but not emaciated. Husky mix? Teeth look pretty good, nails look relatively recently trimmed. She is staying with neighbors, who say she howls briefly once or twice a night. I'm taking the dog for walks in the am and pm -- she's a great walker and will sit when you stop and heel.
Showed up Friday, no collar. Took her to vet, no chip. Eating well, pooping well. She didn't want to get into the kiddy pool for a bath but she let me hand wash her with a bit of Dawn liquid without snapping -- just kind of pulled away and not happy about being wet. Not really houosebroken but I don't think neighbors pushing the issue -- she seems like an indoor dog who just hasn't figured out the rules of their home.
Nobody responding on next door or facebook or to telephone poll poster. Sent an "application" to Operation Kindness in Carrollton (where we got our little pooch) - not sure if they will take her.
Plan is to see if a vet will check her out on Monday, and then neighbors will probably surrender her to shelter.
Questions:
Anyone know if most vets will be willing to give a stray a once over assuming we agree to pay? (If we can make sure she is healthy we might give ourselves on last chance to spruce her up and try to see if a friend or neighbor will want to take a chance on her).
Anyone know of any particular no kill groups in the area what will take her where she will have a great chance for adoption?
(Dallas Animal Shelter looks like it has a "release" rate of 80% which I read as a euthanasia rate of 20%)

From a climate change perspective, if you travel, you should only be going to, and living in, big walkable cities, correct?

The Guard is on Starz. Brendan Gleeson is a Irish Guard (State Police), plays it deadpan all the way through and is fucking hilarious. Don Cheadle is the FBI agent on the case.
Ha, I just saw that a few weeks ago. It's actually terrible on many levels but the only level you care about is Gleason and that's fine.
This movie would have been terrible if Brendan Fraser had been the lead.

The Whale (2022)
Sweet Jesus.
So I kid you not, I didn't know what this flick was about, and I thought it starred Brendan Gleason. So I was expecting some serious/funny Irish comedy and or police procedural. But something with Brendan Gleason and a bunch of UK character actors.
Instead it was Brendan Fraser. And it was a quality film of a play but Jesus.
I was really impressed by the actress Sadie Sink who was the redhead in Stranger Things.
Brandan Fraser was lucky because he gets to order pizza every night.
But this movie is very subtly anti-pizza, I believe.

n what way was she terrible? The Hillary haters have the hardest time with this.
She was terrible in that a huge number of voters had a visceral hatred of her. And the US is fucking sexist as hell. And people in the US blame the wife when the husband is a philanderer.
Just because I don't hate HRC doesn't mean I don't recognize that the US is full of hateful cunts who hate her.

Schools should accept people based on merit and their qualifications.
The problem is, different schools have different missions. Why should I base merit on what someone has earned up to his 18th birthday. Maybe with some maturing he will be a star. And qualifications for what? To be a good citizen? To make a shitload of money that he will give back to the school?
So many people just opine that admissions should be based on such a leaky definition of "merit and qualification".
I do think that with a relatively objective criteria like "economic need", we can accomplish what we want to in terms of diversity and inclusion. This country has proven itself irredeemable in terms of understanding the history and nuance of race. I think we can handle disparate treatment laws -- lets use those and start increasing opportunity via aggressive, straighforward needs based funding.

Honestly I don't like race based admissions, but only because I view poverty to be the criteria that is a better gauge of need.
I believe that whatever party thoroughly embraces this and in fact funds this approach would dominate politics for a few decades.

It's just hitting me how much Trump has run interference for the real freaks.

That's concerning. We should look more closely into that delay in between 12 and 18 months from now.

The man is as white as white can get.
And I'd agree. The white man has had his day.
