Dear god, City Council meeting is still going at 10:45 p.m. So glad I'm not the one covering it tonight.
I suspect my family was poorer than I realized growing up. My parents had middle class-type jobs, but in a poor rural community. I didn't go without, but I do remember the one (1) popular brand-name piece of clothing I had in high school, a gift from an aunt+uncle. I grew up with cinnamon toast.
IT'S THE DIMBEST FUCKING THING, THE CORE. AND TESTING AN UNVACCINATED ANIMAL FOR RABIES GENERALLY REQUIRES KILLING THE ANIMAL.
They've also dropped down to eight-man football since I was in school, so I think they use less of the field.
Here is my high school's football field. It's changed a lot since I was in school. The grandstand used to be wooden: smaller, but with a roof. In good weather, a lot of fans would stand on the track, which was made of crushed limestone. The concessions stand was under the bleachers.
14-year-olds playing in a $70 million stadium
I suppose there are probably some games between those nine teams that get two of the tenants in a single stadium.
On the one hand, at least they didn't pay to build nine of that size and price. On the other hand, how do you manage scheduling nine teams in two stadia? Assuming schedules split evenly between home and away, that's 4.5 home games a week. Friday double-headers? Saturday games?
Ok, but imagine all the jokes the Irish could make at Belichick's expense
I love that for you
Price check on Calliemine lotion
If I got a $500 million windfall, I would have a house with a fantastic game room for D&D. I don't know if $500 million would be enough to both build a ren faire village/LARP camp/living museum of heritage crafts and do the big charity stuff. I don't have context for that much money.
My last summer of college I worked as a shopping cart wrangler in the Walmart parking lot. The worst I saw was a cart left all by itself with a diaper (used) in it.
My best guess is that I just notice it more now, but I do not remember kids screaming *recreationally* quite so much in the past.
Who doesn't love a bonus army? That's an extra, free army.
Lin's career EFG% is higher than Tebow's career completion%.
Focus groups preferred the name "Liberland" by a wide margin over "Ephebophiland."
With NIL and the transfer portal, it's not like leaving a depleted roster matters at all.
Same. Give me just a couple mill and I'll coach for a couple of years as a palate cleanser between The Guy and the guy you hope will be the next The Guy.
Someone had to be the guy to follow Saban
Ok, just refreshed myself on details. He had hired her 4 days before the motorcycle crash?!
I don't know if you're aware, as it isn't something they talk about much, but they're from California and could conveniently fill bit parts.
(Go Team USA!)
I'm just a citizen of the world, man.
"Trump toadies falsify GDP numbers after predecessor fired" Fixed the headlines.
When the restaurant tells you they stopped serving breakfast for the day
And if there is one newspaper Trump might actually read, it's absolutely USA Today.
Big guy, dammit
Bug guy eating ice cream while it snows. Turns toward the camera, then gestures toward the camera with the ice cream. It is a masterpiece.
Is anyone in the Commentariat involved in hiring, especially in the nonprofit world? I'd like someone to give me feedback on my resume and cover letter.
There was an oversized Themberchaud funko, but it looks like it is out of print and not cheap on the secondary market.
I think Themberchaud is outside the normal capabilities of Heroforge.
"Nothing is real. Everything is theoretical. If computers aren't free to aggressively encourage suicidal children to go through with it, then none of us are free. Everybody who disagrees with me disagrees with freedom of speech."
Firearms can be historically or mechanically interesting. But I see a lot of tacticool bullshit in these photos, owned by guys who fantasize about themselves as "operators."
All those guns and there are *maybe* half a dozen in those pictures that are interesting. (First guy might have something that's a mechanical/historical oddity, I'd bet the second guy has a Garand among those, and I can see a side-by-side shotgun in the last photo.)
Wendy's is exactly what I was thinking of. In a previous job, there was a Wendy's in the next town that was excellent. Hot fresh food, clean, and good service. Until the manager took a different job. It wasn't awful afterward, but there was a distinct difference.
The quality of any chain restaurant depends so much on the individual managers. It's much easier to keep a close eye on that with fewer locations, closer together.
Cracker Barrel/Subaru cross promotion
OpenAI prove ChatGPT works by using it in place of a team of lawyers in this lawsuit challenge
Dude's rock
Married at 36. The list of trainwrecks is short, but the big one is a doozy. Is "Your ex is in the news" ever a good thing to hear?
TAke a look, y'all: IMG_4346.jpeg
Get it all on video, put it on CNN, and send a Blu-ray copy to every tinpot dictator who might consider importing prisoners for fun and profit in the future.
"We're going to hold these *motherfuckers* in the Trump administration accountable for their crimes" is one of a very small number of pass/fail tests for anyone who wants my vote for POTUS in 2028.
I understand giving someone the benefit of the doubt. There isn't doubt here to give benefit over. The stated rationale flies in the face of objective reality. And the people saying it are all notable as lying liars who lie every second of every day.
The page about trademark licensing does specifically mention Willie the Wildcat, and this is the most extensively used Willie logo. I would be very surprised if K-State let the trademark lapse.
I'm not a lawyer, and I don't work with IP rights, so don't consider this an expert opinion. I don't know where a court would draw the line for infringement. But I wouldn't fight a court case for this.
As obviously derived as it is from the 1950s Willie the Wildcat, if I got a cease and desist, I would immediately cease and desist.
I know you know Hutch juco, so my question would have been NAIA, y/n?

Tony Clifton playing for an audience of 1
My wife and I like children. We just don't want to be parents. It puts a smile on my face hearing kids playing outside in the neighborhood. I can't imagine getting upset about kids being kids in kid-friendly spaces.
McDonald's drive-through was the only place I could get hot food in town after work.
I was probably healthier for it, but it aggravated me at least once a week. By definition, I cannot eat fourthmeal during my lunch break, Taco Bell!
This was several years pre-covid, even.
When I was on the copy desk, working until 11 most nights, the Taco Bell between the newspaper and my apartment closed at 10 p.m. Taco Bell!
Don't fuckle with Shuckle!
And on Farm O'Geddon Day, too!
What are the chances?! Happy birthday!
I'm not even a Dawgs fan, but it's a great hat.
My last job covered my insurance for a full month after my last day, but they also gave me more than a month's severance.
All hail PikaCHONK!
That's a miniature shorthaired bantha.
LOL. Our most complicated asset is the house, and even we keep l<1/10 of our liquid and semi-liquid assets in checking, because it doesn't make any money and is too easy to spend. ~1/2 of our liquid/semi-liquid assets would require a couple of days or incur penalties to convert to cash.
Read all the theory you want, but don't talk to the general public like they have, and don't talk down to people who haven't.
Buffalo would be tempting. A season-opening night game? Sure. Red Baron is my preferred budget frozen pizza option anyway. Oh, but it's a Thursday night game. That's the catch.

My immediate reaction was "If her legs were any shorter, she'd look like a Bratz doll." Then I did a double take. WTF.
Google search history "big naturals" "can state school superintendent pardon himself" "good criminal defense attorney" "good criminal defense attorney OKC" "big naturals criminal defense attorney OKC"
That was on my short list.
OK, but what Will Smith movie would be the funniest for him to rap about the plot over the credits? First thought: Concussion
Stoneheart is the only one of those huge swings that didn't feel entirely earned, and even that was set up with Thoros and Beric. If George can eventually land the plane, even if it's bumpy, the series will go down as one of the crowning achievements of fantasy.
Oh, right, and Stoneheart in the epilogue.
The second half of A Storm of Swords is crazy run. Jaime VI: The Bear and the Maiden Fair Catelyn VI: The Red Wedding Dany V: Jorah's exile Tyrion VIII: The Purple Wedding Tyrion X: Tyrion's trial by combat Tyrion XI: "Wherever whores go" Jon XII: Jon elected Sansa VII: "Only Cat"
And the Cosmosphere in general is fantastic, well worth a detour for anybody interested in space exploration who is in the area.
It was a great interview. There were times when it felt like he was kind of losing the thread with his answers, wandering way off the path, but he always steered back to the point of his answers, and the digressions were always to give meaningful context to his answers.
Currently they have a memorial to Jim Lovell on display next to his actual Apollo 13 spacesuit and the actual Apollo 13 command module. In 2016 I got to interview Michael Collins about his Gemini 10 mission, sitting right in front of the actual Gemini 10.
There is a Smithsonian-affiliated space museum right here in Hutchinson (the Cosmosphere is incredible for a town of 40,000 people), and it always has me ready to run through a brick wall by the end.
HI, BAGEL!
Maybe this is a silly question, but does she know what you do?
"Dan Smith, BYU," was the perfect finish to the first one.
No one song, but the Cranberries played a set on a German TV show ("Live from Alabama," Alabama Hall was a former US military depot in Munich) around the release of their second album, and the energy was great. "How," "Ridiculous Thoughts," and "Daffodil Lament" really hit. youtu.be/ZPhAc1rFOn0?...
What kind of letters? What kind of letters, Core?!
For my wife and I, it is unofficially "our song." She wanted to practice dancing before going to a cousin's wedding. On a whim, this was one of the songs we danced to in my apartment. At the exact moment at the reception when we were ready to dance, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" came on. Perfect.
If you have fresh, seasonal tomatoes from your or a friend's garden, seems like a good option.
I don't ever actually sing anything, by any artist, with a lot of confidence because I'm self-conscious about everything really. But "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston would be really high on the list.
Please tell me the horn plays "John Brown's Body."
WE'RE BACK
"The Dunk & Egg stories are good fun, set in the same world, but earlier. No, no, there aren't any novels."

Is that lake in some kind of crater?
What will New York's sandwich of mass destruction be? Will Tampa and Miami argue over who threw a Cuban sandwich at ICE first?
If they just go down the list of the most populous cities, 1 per month, they'll be in Indianapolis in time for the mid-terms.
Not just any old meeting. A State Board of Education meeting. A State Board of Education executive session. While hearing a parent appealing the denial of their application to send their kid to a different school district.
John Oliver and his writers are good at their job. I just don't want to watch political comedy about the world's plummet into fascism. I might watch some segments if some stupid, cruel fuckers start getting their comeuppance again.
I think it was Wednesdays or Thursdays that they had good deals on well drinks when I was in school. Even without specials, I would rather drink 2 or 3 drinks at Auntie Mae's than 4 or 5 at Fats.
