    Off-Topic The Foodie Thread

    There's a tortillaria on 98 coming out of Derm towards Wake Forest where you get them hot off the press for a few bucks a pound. I've seen people get twenty pounds or more.

    The Music Thread

    I knew and partied with Gary Daeke at UNC in the 70's . From the resemblance I'm thinking he had to be Paul's brother. Knew some other Henderson guys; Johnny Perdue, and another, Mike Clark(?) maybe? Big time "business man" on campus who underwent a religious revelation and iirc became a...

    Politics #OTD in 1986 -Senator East

    Hadn't thought about East in many years. Confined to a wheelchair, some wags referred to him as "Helms on Wheels." I'm sure his health issues played a role in his suicide.

    Politics SCOTUS Catch-all | 2024-25 Term Ends

    One again, I'm out of my area of expertise but the x tweet with the screenshot of the ruling included a reference to the particular portion of Marbury v Madison that supports the majority position.

    Politics SCOTUS Catch-all | 2024-25 Term Ends

    I can't pretend to be knowledgeable on law but a Harvard law grad buddy said "When the other side uses Marbury v. Madison to oppose your position, you might want to take a moment and reconsider."

    Politics SCOTUS Catch-all | 2024-25 Term Ends

    At the risk of dragging the thread back on topic, is this type of scathing rebuttal typical In SCOTUS opinions?

    Off-Topic "Nine Beers Americans No Longer Drink"

    When I was a Senior in high school I came up to UNC and spent the weekend with a first cousin who was a Senior at UNC. You could drink beer at eighteen then. I think the first place he took me was McCauley's in Cboro. Next was He's Not Here which seemed less frat oriented and suited me better...

    Off-Topic Happy 50th birthday, Jaws!

    As opposed to "Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women" ? I remember thinking the shark looked pretty fake when I saw the movie but after seeing some in aquariums I thought better of it. Even live ones look kinda dead with those flat eyes.

    Politics Is this why Dem’s Approval Rating Polls are so bad?

    I confess to not have read the entire thread, but I think Dems are suffering from their stances on immigration more than discussed. Some of what Trump has done is idiocy but it plays well to the crowd, compared to a "only five thousand a day" policy under Biden. Immigration is the top issue...

    Politics As a 76 YO white Christian

    Bart Ehrman's name has come up several times in threads here. There's a nice one page writeup in the latest Carolina Alumni Review about his online blog having raised over $3 million which he contributed to humanitarian charities. Good for him!
