re: You guys like villians. I’m the so-called communist that Trump spoke about last night.

About half of those things you are for are the very things your party is moving away from. For example, how do you square things like being a gun owner and being against abortion as post-coital prophylactics when your party's leadership considers the unequivocal opposition to those two things as needing to be a given for any interested in being office candidates under the Democratic banner?
That's not even getting into tranny-ism and sexuality being pushed onto kids, having the government pressure those against it, open borders, cashless bail for even violent offenders, reparations, etc.

That was great but Fatal Attractions was the best 90s crossover. That comic with Wolverine getting his metal ripped out was crazy as a kid. To us it was bigger than Batman bring his back broken but not as big as the death of Superman grift.
I'm going respectfully disagree. For me, Acts of Vengeance was the best.
From the advertising art...
To the idea of different villain groups squaring off against heroes they normally don't encounter...
To the side-story of bringing Magneto and the Red Skull together...
But I digress.
For the show, they have already shown with these few episodes this season that they are plot-armoring the frick out of Jubilee and given her a girl-boss attitude to make her a Mary Sue. I feel like they rushed the Nur story and treated (at least thus far) the Immortus angle as nothing more than a throwaway, but then it's only been three episodes. The Cable story is being handled well and since it's the real focus I think it will make up for the lackluster treatment of the ancillaries.
I still wish we had both Sam and Bobby instead of just giving Bobby flight (and, oddly, the ability to hurl some sort of fireballs??), but Hollywood gotta Hollywood.

We had drone delivery this morning, does that count?

Happy Birthday, America! #Murica!
The video is from Amazon Prime Air's new drone delivery service here in Baton Rouge dropping off a package for Mrs. Bard (the service went live just yesterday). Approximately 1.5 hours after clicking to buy it, it was at our house. We are truly living in the future now and America is leading the way! :usa:

Cities will claim a Constitutional Right to run their own business.
Cities in the state of Louisiana exist as entities only through the authority to do so being delegated by the State. They can claim otherwise all they want, and even try to arrest an AG for warning them against trying to behave as their own city-state, but unless the state government were to fail completely it's always going to be an extension of the state and subject to certain laws because of that.

Wouldn't a retaining wall work better for both erosion and to slow the refill?
It would look like a man-made lake and have no appeal.
I disagree. I think a retaining wall deep enough to allow plenty of room for pedestrian traffic (runners, bikers, dog-walkers, etc) in both directions could be quite appealing, especially with some sort of french or spanish influenced street lighting and fencing.
Personal preferences aside, I would rather see the push going toward whatever is going to allow for the longest timeframe between completion and the next time it needs to be dredged.

The ones that can't fathom why some people here hate America and talk negatively against it.
It's easy to hate something when it's been your lifelong default. When your floor for freedom of travel, expression, occupational pursuit, etc. is the USA, those who are deeply negative and myopic will see only that it's "bad" and thus believe -childishly- that other places must therefore be "better".
They've perhaps visited some of the nicer parts of those places, but usually have never lived their long enough to be truly subjected to the reality of the place.
This is why they'll run from any attempt to point out that people risk their lives to come here both legally and illegally while hardly anyone actually leaves to become a citizen of another country (a group so statistically small as to be less than "insignificant").
If it's what I'm thinking of, it's probably what the Orleans Coroner's office used to do.
The office historically generated revenue through fees for services like autopsy reports, toxicology reports, cremation permits, death certificates, transportation/storage, expert testimony, etc. The officeholder could retain a portion of these as personal compensation or perquisites, rather than full salary funding from the city/parish budget (a holdover from the 19th century which continued pretty much up until the 2000s-2010s, I believe). This made the position a classic sinecure (generally low day-to-day demands, while also being lucrative). This has largely halted (or possibly completely) by the mid-late 2010s as the 1990s through to that point saw the office move away from self-generated funds (due to their dropping as the population retreated) for city funds (read: audits).

In my opinion, about half the left wing voters align with this guy. But they are the least vocal, so it doesn’t seem like they are that plentiful. They are getting disgusted with some of the same stuff we find ridiculous.
They are, but they have heads made of bedrock because they can't seem to grasp that their traditional rhetorical ground of identity politics is the primary enabling factor. As such, they are highly likely to continue doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results (definition of insanity).
Example: Bill Maher has mentioned many things the Newsom administration has pushed which he disagrees with, but he has still publicly supported the guy (no idea where he stands currently), this has been while the center of the Democratic party has moved deeper into its leftward fringe.
Until they can break from that cycle of their emotional reasoning overriding their rational reasoning when viewing an issue, they are either going to keep voting party lines (on both candidates and legislation) or not showing up to vote at all. That latter aspect is the better one as the party's strident move into its hypocritically fascist fringe areas essentially dilutes their voting power through the silent attrition of growing non-involvement.

Yes, all the businesses in the San Francisco Centre AND the Galleria packed up and moved away because of fake news stories on Fox News. :lol:
LINK Oh, wait. That's from the local NBC affiliate. I guess they have been duped as well!
And the infamous "poop map" was made by some neckbeard in Deerfrick, MS, right? I mean, if the problem isn't that bad then it couldn't have been made over a decade ago by a native San Franciscan resident.
I'm sure there are parts of San Francisco which are still lovely, but the parts that aren't are extremely bad and have been growing. That growth in drug-addicted homeless is not going to change unless the city changes its stance on how it polices homeless addicts. The new mayor's RESET program and more aggressive policing in rounding up homeless addicts on the street are steps in the right direction, but I think they still rely too heavily on the mindset that many of the addicts are willing to go down the path of sobriety if you just plop them on it and point in the direction for them to go.
Addiction, especially to meth/fent is far too strong for that for most of the addicts on the street.
Perhaps start venturing out from some of the dwindling "safe" places the next time you go?

As an adult I look at someone like her and wonder how can an attractive female like her settle for sex with children, especially when married? :casty:
Looking through the eyes of 15-16 year old me, I would have lined up to be counselled by her. Multiple times. :lol:

The lengths they are going to over this makes me wonder what is being covered up by this.
It could be the tip of a very explosive iceberg, but it could also just be the lashing out of bruised egos in the vein of:
"How dare they!!! WE (New Orleans) run this state, the state doesn't run us!"
I once heard Mitch Landrieu say that the farther you get from Louisiana, the more the only thing people know about the state is "New Orleans". It's probably the only pure truth I've ever heard him say. The problem is that I think too many in New Orleans take that as giving the city some sort of legal authority over the rest of the state. That sort of ego has a tendency to overreach itself to the point where it needs to be reality-checked.
This has been a yuuuuge reality-check for them.

How is not a form of executive action as part of her elected function of the office?
She sent a public letter stating that if they attempt to appoint an interim person to the role that they were in violation of the state constitution?
That is not “intimidation” it’s stating the facts. Had she called the person involved in a non public and non official capacity then maybe. But this was public.
Thus the true bite of the Sadvocate's piece.

EverQuest Legends features a $19.99 base game price (which includes your first month of subscription time). After the first month, the subscription costs $9.99 per month. Note that standard Daybreak Games All Access passes do not cover this.
I would have at least tried it out, I have a lifetime All Access Pass.
I watched a Broken Stoic video the other day on pets and at least in that they veered quite a bit from the TH version they are (somewhat) trying to emulate.
It doesn't matter what your classes are, you get only one pet (in THJ you could have one for each class if all three were pet classes, and I think there was a way to get 4th but not sure on that). Instead, the amount and type of pet classes in your 3-class build determines how many inventory/gear slots your pet gets. It uses ratio to determine the best gear and weapons to use from its inventory (like if you have multiple chest pieces in the inventory for some reason) and the different types of pets can have different abilities/spells while also they are all considered at least as warriors (and their Berserk skill is craptacular).
They have some neat ideas (like combining same gear pieces to level it up, for example) but not enough to lure my subscription dollars out of my wallet, especially in how they sued the THJ guys then took their ideas to capitalize on their weaker version of what they had created.
Had they just hired them and gave them the resources to continue making their very fun version, I probably would have subbed.

We used to jump canal bridges around Metairie back in the day. Now they are all smoothed out. No fun anymore.
The levees where people had cattle had raised areas on the road atop the levee at the property lines. Those raised areas had cattle gaps in them and the higher elevation made for an excellent ramp for a young Bard on his 3-wheeler.

re: Russia launches massive strike on Ukraine as Poland scrambles jets, Finland restricts airs

Finland is nowhere near Ukraine. That's in part why I'm asking. Poland shares a border with Ukraine to the West, but Finland is due north, on the Russian border. Even if Belarus allows Russian planes open passage, what's Poland have to do with anything. All the targets for the Russian AF should be to the Eastern side of Ukraine.
Some of the incidents are undoubtedly due to human error, but there are so many in some areas that it leads me to believe there's at least some desire within the Russian military hierarchy which thinks it's a good idea to test from time to time the borders of nations currently not engaged in the war.

What’s Ukraine have to do with Poland or Finland?
While there have only been a handful of times Russian gets have been in/near Finnish airspace, there have been numerous violations into Poland by Russian planes, drones along with three missiles having hit in Poland.
Their concern isn't surprising, what's surprising that the Baltics and Romania aren't scrambling as well as they've seen more incursions than has Finland.
