Those hats are simultaneously :pimp: and racist AF.

We’ve finally reached a time in our civilization where Queen size should actually be the larger size.
It is accurate to note that the average American man is about 5'9" tall and weighs 200 pounds, this is a BMI of about 29.5 or thereabouts.
However, an American woman is 5'3 1/2" tall and weighs about 171 pounds, with a BMI just under 30 (the obesity line).
So, going by BMI, yes, Queen size is the larger size now. Not literally, but proportionally.

Sadly, because of pattern recognition, all of these things are hoaxes/suicides/staged by someone with an agenda until they're proven to be legit.

I mean, I suppose she believes Jussie Smollett, right? He didn't fake it/stage it himself, he was really the victim of violent, white supremacists in the confederate stronghold of Chicago, I suppose?

** sounds like a gambling problem more than a golf problem
I'm not calling him out, explicitly. We don't know. However, between collecting old cars and golf, we know those 2 alone can get expensive. If he has collected any other expensive vices, it is easy to see how he can go from "I'm considering a backup generator" in May 2026 to "I cannot afford this house" in August 2026.
He did not mention a job loss (he said income was stable or even up) or other financial set back other than the vague "emptied my emergency fund".
Sounds like more than golf, for sure. Gambling? Maybe.

I literally haven't watched anything from the brand since. This was about the best regarded as a consensus, even from cynical assholes like me - until late.

Not Georgia, but this is the most significant cicada season since I was a kid in the 1970s.

For you, young friend. It's golf.
I think that's certainly part of it. He's not being completely forthcoming, though, I suspect. He bought an old Land Cruiser to try to fix up late last year. And he was considering a backup generator less than 90 days ago.
Something has happened. Now, maybe it is merely awareness of a problem that has been there the whole time. Or it is one or more vices getting out of hand over the Summer (which leads us back to golf). If it was just that he needs to cut back on golf, I don't think he would be here, but maybe.
In any event, if the choice is golf or home ownership, I would probably choose home ownership.

re: Best harmonizing voices in music history
Posted by Ace Midnight on 8/17/26 at 8:14 am to Everyday Is Saturday
I would have Simon and Garfunkel as the best 2-part.
There are so very many 3-parts out there and most have been mentioned.
I do think the Eagles Seven Bridges Road is a reference standard for a 5-part.
The Temptations and The Four Tops are way up there, as are the Supremes and the Staples.
Just looking at Elvis' backing singers for the later period - The Jordanaires and the Sweet Inspirations - just fantastic.
Some choices that haven't gotten much love in the thread are:
Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson's voices blend nearly perfectly)
Fleetwood Mac - supremely underrated considering they have 3 lead vocalists and when not singing lead, all did fantastic harmonies.

Imagine a person who one must assume (perhaps wrongly?) votes Democrat fairly consistently saying this in a straightforward, "This isn't difficult" manner such as this?

Eventually it became a net loss because the colonized people were resisting.
And they had to maintain a very expensive global security infrastructure (AKA The Royal Navy)
Plus, as you know, if you run a government like a business, services suffer, costs skyrocket and people vote it out. If you run a business like a government, you go broke with the quickness.
So, they probably should have just taxed the business a bit more rather than taking over.
And my point stands: It was a net negative to Britain and they're still hated for it. India and other English/British colonies gained more from being colonized by Britain than the British did. The fact these colonized folks either couldn't or wouldn't maintain it and build on it is on them.

At least for Britain, their overseas colonial empire, while providing some degree of benefit for them (access to resources and manpower they might not have had otherwise), it was a net loss/cost for them and a net gain/benefit for virtually every place they "colonized".
And they're hated for it...
