re: WNBA task force could not agree on what a woman is, despite it being in their name

they just punted to later on and forming "committees"
So the real questions are
How much does each collect per diem for committee meetings?H
How do they define consensus?
Does the NBA, source of money, have any say as to how much money they get each year and what limits are to their expense accounts?
Who gets to decide which lawyers will handle the cases that are going to result?
Is anybody responsible?

Similarly, in Germany on the Rhine River, the towns are built right down to the waters edge. The stone buildings in those towns have flood levels painted (often on door ways) with the year of the flood getting that high.

A lot of libraries are a lot more than just books.
Many have DVDs of movies and tv series. There are alos some services that libraries subscribe to that provide movies for you to download onto your devices.
Netflix would rather you not know that they aren't the only game in town.

Time to examine why The Economist still exists.
Some of the final page obituaries are pretty good. Without that I would never have known that Barney Frank died. It didn't make me miss him, just wonder at the lack of coverage elsewhere.
It has shrunk in size for the print version. And it has survived when Der Spiegel (English version) didn't.

I was shocked to not see Deion walk away for health reasons after this past season
And walk away from $44 million?
And I'd guess his Colorado contract has great health insurance. If he were to pay his own (even with 44 million) it would be pricey with his health history.
This way he gets attention, paid assistants and has even gotten accustomed to living a mile high with not as much oxygen and humidity.

A story from NOLA.
Friends a decade olde than us.
He was a good friend, his wife was too busy taking care of her Mother. Her Mother had volunteered at a nursing home, hated the place and made her daughter swear NEVER to put her in a nursing home EVER. Regardless of infirmity.
Wife was worn out physically and mentally.
Then Katrina hit, took out their house as well as MIL's.
We lost track of them. Search showed they had left NOLA for a midwestern state where he died soon after the move. No word of his MIL and wife.

re: New Orleans is losing over 70% of its water supply due to leaks
Posted by real turf fan on 8/10/26 at 12:14 pm to kingbob

The water losses are so staggering that they have actually been rehydrating the soil and forestalling subsidence. The pipes are leaking so much water into the soil, that they have effectively stopped entire neighborhoods from sinking.
But rehydrating won't stop the leakage. The leaks are going to keep on happening.
When will neighborhoods become marshes, and then swamps? Will trees dying from too much water be a sign of the waterlogged soils becoming water with some soil.

Wonder if those cops would be as on top of it if the vagrant was trying to enter someone middle-aged person's Kia.
Could too well fed dude even fit into a KIA? That might be why he was going for the larger luxury car.
Next thing will be his demand for grease to enable him to slide into any car he chooses.

We've grown accustomed to the medical tents on the sidelines for football games and a medical doctor or three attending games as if their being needed is anticipated.
Where will they fit the medical tent on the WNBA sidelines if, no when, these fine ballers start playing their game?
re: Do you think the process to getting a driver’s license in the US is too easily attained?
Posted by real turf fan on 8/9/26 at 8:57 am to Mike da Tigah
An American friend in the UK had to learn to keep her hand at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel, full time. She failed twice because she only used one hand one time and let both hands slip down the other time.
A North American remembrance. I was renewing my drivers license in Houston and a lot of Vietnamese came in: three to take the written test and the rest to translate the tests for them.
I watched, and the discussion of each question was a three or four man thing. It seemed as if the guy taking the test seldom said anything; I left wondering if it was as corrupted as it appeared to be.

re: City of Knoxville begins testing program to allow drinking outside in Market Square
Posted by real turf fan on 8/8/26 at 5:36 pm to superwolf
It's been called Market Square for over a century. Think about it. Where country folks brought their produce to sell to city folks.
Most cities had one or more similar places. Knoxville just never let theirs become a dump (having TVA there helped).

re: Anyone have advice on slowing down cognitive decline with aging?

Go to the library, borrow books.
Things you need to know about
Inflammation and how it affects the aging human body
Autophagy and how your body can recycle parts of cells, remake them and improve your body at a cellular level.
Keto and why a lot of people are changing what they eat and when they eat it.
You might want to join him in some changes,
I've gone through a lot of this when one doctor told me I was prediabetic and the next day a different doctor told me I had Diabetes 2 and prescribed five pills to take every day.
I went to the library and I got books and started reading. I stopped taking the pill cocktail at day 17.
I changed what I ate, I lost pounds, I kept reading. I saw my blood glucose drop. I kept reading and doing. My blood sugar hasn't been prediabetic since December. My A1C has been 4.1, 4.2.5.2 for the most recent three month interval tests.
Also read about fasting. One of the sharpest minded men my husband knows in his car club is 92 years old. My fasting was mentioned by my husband and the old gentleman started telling him how great fasting was and how he's been doing it for decades. That got my DH's attention more than my periodic fasting this year.
