A standard mudding? That's interesting....

I googled the built in grill that came with my house and the price was pretty shocking....

Ya, I said it in the other thread. If the ACA had passed with everything but the mandate, there wouldn't be much to strike it down on. While bad laws may suck, the Supreme Court isn't supposed to strike down laws because they may be unwise. With the mandate effectively gone, there's not much l...

Isn't Sinema still a problem?...

It's interesting how in baseball everyone wants a clean ball but in football, kickers and QBs beat the shite out of them to their preference before the league cut down on that practice....

I know it's maybe a bit circular getting to this place, but without the mandate being enforced there's really not a whole lot left to argue with regards to it's constitutionality. Bad and onerous law perhaps, but those parts were constitutional. Remember, it can still be replaced legislatively if pe...

[quote]Sometimes I just get confused on what SCOTUS is supposed to do.[/quote] One thing they aren't supposed to do is try to correct "bad" laws. While the ACA is arguably bad to some with the numerous requirements it placed on employers and insurers, that isn't within the Supreme Court's purview...

[quote]Alien Tort Statute[/quote] I wrote a paper on this once. Memories. As for ACA, at least conceptually, you now have legislation that no longer has the poison pill of the mandate. The ACA probably would have been fine constitutionally if it never included it to begin with is the thought p...

I take pride in not mindlessly standing in lines and using my noggin, so I was a bit embarrassed I hadn't thought of that one. Always room for improvement....

Before COVID I stayed there every year due to wife's conferences. That pool is super cool....

[quote]There is?[/quote] An extremely brief one due to Memorial Day. This has happened for every single holiday since this began because of reporting lag. It's already started back down again....

Sepilok? I just googled and found that. That's a long way to go for that to be the highlight :lol: There's another one as well but looks about the same. I hope you're going to a cool beach, waterfall or something around this. Unique destination though. Hope you go. BTW I've read Brunei s...

Ya I think I used the contactless last time back in 2019. The smoothest public transit move that probably isn't applicable now with mobile wallets and such was my FIL at the US Open in NYC. We get to Queens and he goes immediately to the kiosk and buys our return tickets. When the tournament l...

I can't recall if I was trying to get the new card. I've only used it on the Canadian border once so it's not a big deal. The renewal took like 30 minutes for me online....

You don't realize how much trash NO has until you move away. It hits hard once you've removed the acclimation....

[quote]Something I recently realized is that my Global Entry expires at the end of the year. After 5 years you have to renew. There are probably a lot of people that need to renew this year. It's been awesome to have I've got my calendar marked for the renewal.[/quote] Renewal is extremely easy b...

[quote] Cam did not have a teammate on offense that played more than 5 years in the NFL. Its absurd what he was able to do[/quote] Isn't Cam Newton the only player on Auburn's offense that year to catch a pass or something in the NFL?...

Military member and DoD civilians (they have to opt in) CAC card numbers too....

Ya I have a Ventra account for my visits. Whatever it takes to avoid a long line at a ticket kiosk as you either have people who have a hard time working them or the card reader is being a PITA. Those issues are public transit issues across the globe :lol:...
