    Per NPR this morning Trump is reworking his speech and has told people stuff like "I shouldn't be here." So maybe he is shook 

    He is a bully, so he's a coward deep down inside.  I would be shocked if he isn't nervous as hell about appearing in front of crowds.

  2. Something to consider about whole home units is that for extended outages like this one, a generator will be due for an oil change after about a week or continuous running.  It's not a bad idea to have a filter and oil on hand because good luck getting one serviced at a time like this.

  3. Generators are real neat until they break and then it's a fucking nightmare getting them fixed if it's not something simple.  I have been trying to get one at work fixed for a few months.  It's an intermittent problem where it starts and then shuts itself off because it isn't generating electricity.  Have had 2 different companies look at it, the last of which charged us $2,400 for a 3 or 4 hour visit.  They upgraded firmware on one of the boards and it worked for 2 weeks only to start having the same issue again last week.  Most companies I talk to only want to do maintenance work it seems like.  The worst part is that it wasn't even a year old when the issue started.

    There was a Reacher novel with a political assassination attempt, can’t remember if it was a president. IIRC shooter was about 1200 yards or more away. I kind of always figured any rooftops within 1000 yards would have agents on them. Or at least countersnipers or spotters constantly scanning them from elevated positions. This is staggeringly bad

    Or those bullet proof glass screens they set up for things like inaugurations that are in wide open areas.

  5. It was a monumental fuckup.  I wonder if at least some of the cops thought he was a SS sniper.  How there were no agents posted on top of that building is going to get several people "re-assigned" to chasing down counterfeiters in the middle of nowhere.

  6. I had no idea that the filming of The Shining is what broke her.  They shot over 100 takes for multiple scenes and it took over a year.  Working yourself up for those scenes over and over again must have been brutal.

  7. He's really good defensively and has more power.  He might K his way out of the league though.  I don't think I'd want to give up on him quite so soon though.  The only thing that gives me hope on his strikeouts are that he takes so many strikes that he shouldn't.  If they can find a way to fix that, it would help a lot.
