re: Amy Klobuchar is expected to run for Governor of Minnesota to replace Tim Walz

Just a straight trade. Saskatchewan for Minnesota. We don’t even have to change the stars in the flag.

Worth noting IMO I was not aware
It dawned on me when someone said “Hammond’s finest” referring to Golding. I knew Shannon’s family when he was younger so I have somewhat followed his career from afar for a while. I wonder if this will be one of the side stories they tell during the game broadcast?
Interesting (to me) subplot for OM-Miami
Posted by BR Tiger on 1/4/26 at 3:27 pm
We will have Shannon Dawson, Miami OC from Bluff Creek, LA going against Pete Golding, OM DC and now HC from Hammond, LA. Shannon is 7 years older than Golding, but I think it’s neat that they grew up 40 miles from each other and are now facing off directly (OC vs DC) in the CFP semifinals.
Not that it matters or is of any concern to anyone, but I’m rooting for Shannon.

I have the game on in the background with it muted. What did they say was the call? It looked like a clear first down to me.

Mulkey obviously realizes what she’s built and what she has with this team. Not only generational individual talent, but a very cohesive group that goes 11 deep or more. Bella Hines, Grace Knox, Zakiyah Johnson, and Richard could prove to be the best bench in WCBB.
All of this. And that 11 deep squad seems to be infinitely interchangeable. Not on the sense that they can each play all positions. Mor like It’s there are not just 2-3 combinations of players she can put in together. She can almost sub any of them at any time fir any player on the court and they will keep rolling.

re: Do you care about your doctor's MCAT/GPA?

Our doctors need to be the best of the best.
I only partially agree with that. Most primary care doctors don’t need to be the best of the best. They need to have general all around knowledge to treat the basic things that people come to them for and the knowledge of when to refer to a specialist.
The specialist is who should be the best of the best. I want my oncologist to not only have a high level of intelligence but the curiosity to investigate and the ability to put all the pieces together to decide the best course of action. In addition they need to know how to coordinate with other oncology subspecialists and stay on top of current trends in cancer. That’s where your measures of academic accomplishment are more meaningful to me.
I’d guess most of those 15% are “independent” because the democrat party is too far right for them.
There’s a made-up holiday we can all get behind!
re: How did you 80s baws watch games?
Posted by BR Tiger on 12/22/25 at 5:26 pm to Russianblue
If we were lucky our game was on Jefferson-Pilot on a broadcast channel. Otherwise, for home games there was Tigervision. Early PPV. You went to the cable office and rented a filter to place between the cable feed and your tv. It let you see a really crappy broadcast of the game. And we were excited and grateful that was available to us.

re: Nick Reiner- Diagnosed with Schizophrenia
Posted by BR Tiger on 12/22/25 at 6:06 am to SECdragonmaster

It is. Schizophrenia is one of the most severe mental health diagnoses and it is almost always discovered in your late teens or early 20’s. In a wealthy family like this, there is a .0000001% chance he evaded diagnosis for this long. He was under mental health care his entire life.
Agreed. I have seen some people diagnosed with Sz later in life when it seems to me the more appropriate diagnosis would be psychosis, usually induced by substance use. There are some providers who see psychosis and jump to schizophrenia rather than doing a thorough differential. It makes for sloppy work and causes confusion.
quote:
I always thought that schizophrenia was entirely genetic and irreversible. In fact, neither thing is true. In fact, schizophrenia is never 100% genetic but is highly correlated with childhood trauma, living in urban environments, neonatal distress, drug abuse, etc. and is also reversible with treatment. Very interesting condition that is still not well understood.
It is significantly heritable. It can help to think about it as inheriting a propensity for the illness. Whether or not that propensity is expressed full on is a product of environmental stresses, trauma, substance use (including marijuana especially during teenage years), and other factors causing a less stable life.
I have not seen anything regarding schizophrenia being “reversible”. That implies curable. It can be successfully treated but treatment requires ongoing medication. Without medication most individuals regularly relapse into their symptoms (psychosis, negative symptoms, etc).
When I worked on inpatient units and in corrections people with schizophrenia were usually my favorite to work with. They are often intelligent and really make you think about the way we all experience the world.

No but I ordered some tools from Vevor (which is probably where they come from). So far so good.
Needed an auger earlier this year to set some posts for a deck. Looked at renting one from HD. Then I looked at Vevor and for not much more than renting I could buy one. Granted- the HD one I could rent was a little heavier duty, but for what I would ever use it for th Vevor was plenty. It worked great and now I have an auger for the next time I need one.

Brisket and egg breakfast burrito. Going to the beach I’m usually hitting Buc-ee’s in the afternoon/evening so I make sure I stop on the way out to get one of these. It’s a great breakfast burrito.
