I figure the cops are just burned out after awhile and lose it.

The five officers had between 2 and 6 years on the force. Burned out? More likely unfit for duty in the first place.

I absolutely endorse MTGazpacho as the running mate of the Mango Menace. You can't even imagine the comedy which will ensue.

Yes, the pickup keeps getting larger and larger, but the bed has gotten smaller and smaller. If you need a pickup to actually haul things, they're practically worthless. Not to mention too high off the ground you need a stepladder to access the bed. I switched to Jeep Grand Cherokees about 10 years ago, and bought a 14' trailer for the times I need to haul something.

"Woke M&Ms have returned. The Green M&M got her boots back, but apparently is now a lesbian maybe? And now there's a plus-sized, obese Purple M&M," Carlson said in a segment that aired last year after the first M&Ms revamp. "The Brown M&M has quote, transitioned from high stilettos to lower block heels.' Also less sexy. That's progress. M&M's will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous, until the moment you wouldn't want to have a drink with any one of them. That's the goal. When you're totally turned off, we've achieved equity. They've won."

Hey Tucker, if you're looking at a candy cartoon character and thinking it's something/someone sexy you want to have a drink with, and whose shoes might turn you off, perhaps "wokeness" shouldn't be your biggest concern...

Why not just make an all-white, square-shaped version for the right-wingers? Call them Koated Kokoa Kandies. You won't be able to see the markings on the Kandies, because the only acceptable color scheme is white on white.

Only 3 times more likely? I would expect that multiple to become larger as more time passes since Dobbs. It's only been 7 months.

when the enemy is in your own country you need to be offensive to kick them out.

Well said. You're defensive until you're attacked. Then the best defense is to render the attacker incapable or unwilling to continue attacking. By any means necessary.

The military would like a word with your stupid ass.

Were you ever in the military? Did you ever deploy OCONUS? In wartime? Because if you had, you'd know you get shot up more times than you can count with stuff you can't even pronounce. It's part of the deal when you sign with Uncle Sam.

I grew up a little north of there. You can't actually freeze your lungs, but you can get frostbite around your nose and mouth really quickly. Another challenge to cold weather running is sufficient insulation for your feet. Try wearing your regular jogging shoes and sport socks in subzero weather you're begging for frostbitten toes. I cross country ski quite a bit, but not below 0.

Exactly. It isn't always as simple as it might seem. If you're mag north to grid north declination is within 3 degrees, you can usually just wildcat it without a huge margin of error. But especially in the northern latitudes, you can get declinations approaching 20 degrees. It makes it a lot more complicated.

Using a compass, contour map and finding a 10 digit coordinate is a readily learned skill. Not that difficult.

Indeed. It's middle-school level geometry applied to the field. I did a great deal of land nav and route planning in the Army. In Honduras in the late 80s I was on the team which charted the course for the transcontinental highway the engineers were building. All done with map and compass. I really had a knack for it.

When my kids were in Boy Scouts, one of the merit badges I taught was Orienteering. The 11-12 year old kids seemed to pick up on it pretty quickly, at that age they're still fascinated by a lensatic compass and contour map. I'd set up about a 12-15 point nav course covering about 2 miles or so, teach them how to do it solo or as a 3-man team. At the end of it I'd dig a hole and bury a box of MRE's for their lunch. They all loved it, it was one of their favorite merit badges.

I'd hate to try to teach it to an 18 year old who is frustrated by anything they can't do with a smartphone.

"This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself ... when I was seven."
Ouch.

To be fair, Herschel's emotional age is no more than 10.

We are waaaaaayyyyyy past two.

I was thinking 2 answers to each of the seven questions, so more like 14.

It's always a good time to remind folks the Stable Genius wrecked the USFL and damaged the NFL for a decade. Then when he took office he immediately tried to stick his meddling nose right back into the NFL, like the POTUS doesn't have anything else to do. A harbinger of what was to come.

Herschel was one hell of a running back. Speed, power, vision, fluidity. If he'd gone into the NFL instead of the USFL he'd probably be in the NFL Hall of Fame.

There is nothing else admirable about him.

I got nothing wrong. You basically restated what I wrote, just different wording. The reason for the 2A if for the citizens, as a well-regulated militia, to be able to defend the United States, even from its own government. Hence the 'security of the state'. And E1G1's point, which I commented on, was that very few gun owners actually own their guns for those reasons. I sure don't. Most of mine are hunting weapons, with a couple intended more for home or self-defense. Several are just old family heirlooms that I don't even shoot anymore. I don't own weapons for the purpose of defending the country from a tyrannical government.

That's a really good point. The 2A uses the well regulated militia and security of the state as the reasons the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. But how many people own, carry, or otherwise use personal firearms for those reasons? In reality I mean, not in some crazed power fantasy, or a Red Dawn scenario.

It's strange how stating simple facts like these upsets so many people.

It's not a knock on women, it's a simple biological fact. Human males, as most male mammals, are larger and stronger than the female of the species. Women certainly have their advantages, as earthmuse pointed out. Social adaptations follow. No matter how 'civilized' we've become over millennia, we're still animals. I think men have a hard time making close friends with other men because at some level we see each other as competition. I have quite a few acquaintances and people I hang out with for various reasons; a few hunting/fishing buddies, the guy I bike and kayak with in the summertime, a few guys I coached with when our kids were in Little League and youth football, etc. Aside from my wife, who truly is my best friend, I only have 2 of what I'd call really close friends.

His wins also served to galvanize Republicans into nominating and electing the most racist piece of ---- president we've had in several decades.

That is 100% spot on. They may not have said it out loud and in plain language, but undoing everything TNITWH did was what got the Racist Right behind Trump. Cruz or Rubio would still have appointed hard righties to SCOTUS with Yertle's help. But I don't think either of those two would have pandered to the Racist Right like Trump did. They couldn't. The Racist Right doesn't like them either.

Pete Buttigieg is not a good Presidential candidate for 2024. I like him, but I don't think he's ready. He should run for Senate or Governor of Indiana in 2024. If he won one of those, he'd be a serious Presidential contender in 2028.

With the disappointment of Harris, I do think Biden needs to look for a different running mate. Assuming he runs in 2024. I had high hopes for Harris, but she's vastly underdelivered.

And there it is. That's the only concern the righty "Christians" really have.

100% They used him too. A codependent relationship if there ever was one. He used them to get into power, they used him to get the SCOTUS that would overturn Roe. Now that they got what they wanted, they can try to be meek and contrite all they want. But I have no respect for their so-called "christian values" anymore. Because those values are on a moving slider depending what they think they need to do to get their way and enforce their will on the rest of us.

SDSU favored by 4.5 points, which suggests it'll be a tight game.

SDSU has a great defense. Several players are legitimate NFL draft prospects.

The "old Republican Party," at this point, does not appear to be the problem the GOP had in the 2022 election.

One could argue the "Old Republican Party" has been dead since the mid-90's.
