Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Agreed. I’d bet on Malik for the season starter, assuming Quinn is a high enough draft pick

GTFO your mobile phone while driving
Been retired more than a decade, but at my mega corp it was against safety rules to drive and operate a phone while on company business. This included the parking garage, rental car on business driving, etc. Firmly enforced via various mechanisms. The motivation was phone use was a documented leading cause of MVA’s, and MVA’s were our leading incident by frequency. Not at all holier than thou. A little practice, done. Easier than most of life’s rationally chosen obligations.

The Guitar Pron Thread
I will vouch, or whatever, with JJazz’s recommendation on the Yairi. I bought one in 78 as my first nice guitar, a DY-50. I chose it over a Gibson Hummingbird which was maybe 20% more at the time. 45 years later it sits outside the “guitar room”, but rather in the tv room and gets played daily. But, everyone is different. Get something you have fallen in love with via playing and listening.

Well, that ‘Take Off!” level Canuck accent is a negative several points. But, yes.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
Yes, my time in scouts was blissful and without the abuse issues. One West Point graduate scoutmaster taught several of us slide rule, at about 12 years old. We felt like geniuses. A year later he was dead in Viet Nam. I’m not advocating scouting. I do advocate the aspirational ideas within the scout law.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
Way back when, as part of a course, this approach was called active listening. It takes some awareness to not simply parrot, or do it so much in the same conversation that it irritates your interlocutor, but it is fundamentally sound, and fairly life changing when some fluency develops. Also the scout law isn’t about camping. It’s about perspective on life. A scout is: Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. The last two are challenges for me. And listening. ‘I know this looks beyond corny, but I reflect on this list often. Well, sometimes.

‘Listening” should be the 11th scout law.

The peace, love, and rock and roll were always a minority group among boomers. Those folks did not grow into hate. They greatly helped elect Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Folks generally confuse the boomer political demographic. The conservative component has had the majority, but does not represent the whole. As usual, as always.

RIP Cormac McCarthy
Many reviewers have considered Faulkner as McCarthy’s model, or some such. McC’s power to move the story along is a big difference, to me.

RIP Cormac McCarthy
Wrong. Re-read it in a year or so. Then listen to an e book version. Then you will have a better idea of what you read, and a better appreciation of what writing can be.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Makes one jealous at others having serious representation. So I will have to take this opportunity to brag on my rep, Ms Jayapal, also serious.
