Only one team is actually like that. Unfortunately, they didn't get a choice last night. I would've been the opposite of silent had I been at Lambeau.

Typically, arteries(like the big one in the neck!) won't self-seal like fuel bladders on a tanker, so the human blood pump(heart, for most people) will simply keep pumping blood until system pressure is depleated.

Cub's employees are union, if I'm not mistaken, and CBAs usually cover automation. That said, driving this would probably go to someone with high seniority, at the top of the pay scale. At least that's how it worked at UPS sort facilities, where labor is Teamsters Union.

Do you live too far from the network transmitters to use an antenna? I have DirecTV but that's prone to signal loss when it rains. I use antenna to watch sports because it's closer to being live than satellite or streaming.

Stop thinking the national debt is the same as your credit card debt. Also, the shooting in NY had nothing to do with gun laws or concussions. It had everything to with finance and property laws.

KGB prolly told Ep: you can do it or we can. Now, it's kinda like a stamp collector having one of the last two, buying the 2nd, and then burning it, making it one-of-a-kind. Except, the 2nd to last has a relatively important position in global politics.
