    Politics Going after Greenland

    That's a tradition at least sixty years old. I'll bet even Regnery Press (an unofficial arm of the conservative movement) doesn't even know how many books have been sold that way.

    UNC Sports Biorhythms for Wake Forest @UNC: 6 pm Tip, ACCN

    I don't see why. We have multiple players who can be scorers. I think we've had six or seven players score more than 15 points in a game. We don't have to develop a consistent extra scorer, as nice as that would be, as much as we need to develop extra scoring. I don't care if that's by committee.

    We need more balanced scoring.

    Politics CURRENT EVENTS - JANUARY 2026

    Make America great again. Before he was the first President of the United States, George Washington was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1758 until 1775. He actually lost his first election, however, and “attributed his defeat to his failure to provide enough alcohol for the...

    Sports College Basketball 2025-26 season thread

    Didn't look like a bad call to me. I thought it was goaltending when I saw it. On replay, it was closer than I thought but I still thought it was probably correct and didn't see anything that would let them overturn it.

    The amenities add a lot as well. On demand hot water, geothermal /solar and such, home theater systems, built in speakers, data wiring ( of which there could be over a mile) and other smart house devices.

    Politics GOP slouches into the crazy to be born as MAGA ~ GENERAL

    It's less that most Christians were or are that way but that the more predominantly Christian we were as a nation, the more that word was able to hide. There were too many variant beliefs for anyone to cast the first stone. There's not as high a percentage of Christians now and a fair amount of...

    Politics GOP slouches into the crazy to be born as MAGA ~ GENERAL

    It's basically what Christianity in America has been. The difference is that over 90% of Americans were Christians into the 60s and this stuff didn't get questioned. Now that it does, they feel cheated when it's not accepted than when all things are equal, they're more equal than others.

    Off-Topic Work perspective...

    I don't know that any of this would involve your product but I was literally thinking yesterday as I was driving how big a difference cataract surgery and corrective lenses have made in my life. You should feel good about helping people with that.

    Politics Approval/Disapproval Polls

    I used to hang out with a group of people that ran long on people like engineers ,foresters, boat mechanics and carpenters who were all fairly apolitical. Hell, I only talk about politics on message boards. Only do it here because I can skim through the responses to see if anything resonates or...

    Is there any way to guesstimate what the loss of trust and respect will cost us in the future? I don't care who we elect next or how strongly we repudiate all Trump ends up doing, I don't too much see getting that back.

    Politics Who does US attack next?

    Maybe we should discuss a cogent drug policy that would make drugs a health issue instead of a political football to justify political and legal malfeasance here and abroad. We've done the same stupid shit over and over again and basically succeeded in destroying people's lives by treating them...

    Politics Going after Greenland

    I might be wrong about how things in Greenland but I suspect the same sort of thing would happen there as here. Any of these seem as if it would put a crimp in your political leverage or maybe even your right to vote. A person who takes foreign money in exchange for supporting the takeover of...
