re: Black Sabbath

I have this on cd and I popped it in my car a few weeks ago. You can tell Ozzy was geezed way up, pumping up the crowd, playfully calling them out for not being lit enough. So badass. One of the best bands ever. I don't think that Iommi is actually underrated, but for some reason it kind of seems like he is. Guitarists who create a distinct style due to a physical limitation is the coolest thing ever.




I drive from Pensacola to Tallahassee regularly, and I can't even remember the last time I got into any kind of significant backup. It's a breeze 99% of the time.
I don't think that it's an unreasonable thread. There isn't a lot to go on to determine just how good Simpson can be in SEC play. I don't believe there is anything alarming about the fact that he couldn't win the job before this season. Before everything got out of whack in cfb, his arc would have been perfectly normal. It is (or used to be) ideal for a guy to develop for multiple years before he takes the reigns.

It does seem like he has a strong arm, and can make a lot of throws, and it seems like he's a hard worker, and is very competitive, and is very determined. His teammates and coaches obviously like him.

We don't need the offense to rely so much on him, like was the case with Milroe. We simply need him to manage the game, run the offense with efficiency, and get the ball to our many playmakers, like McCarron, Coker, and Mac did. Now, those guys had great Olines, and run games which helped out a shite ton. Will we have that? We should, but we haven't in a few years now. But we certainly seem to have the dudes and then some.

I think having Grubb there will help him out a lot.

My guess is that he struggles a little bit once we get into SEC play, but not enough to start panicking, but he'll get better with each game, and hopefully down the stretch he starts playing his best ball. Kinda like Coker. So basically opposite of Milroe's God awful arc last year. Anything but that.

One positive thing is that he should have a crew on the other side of the ball to keep other offenses from scoring a lot.

I'm tempering my expectations, but I am indeed cautiously optimistic.
If we had have given Henry like 7 more touches in that game, we probably would've won. Same with the sugar bowl against OSU.

Why don't Americans stop buying so many drugs? Until that happens, taking out cartel leaders is a waste of time.



Bingo. When you stop and think about the amount of money involved in the transfer of drugs from Mexico to the U.S. then you have to think about many bad people in the U.S. have vested, monetary interests in the cartels staying functional. This is the problem with the "war on drugs." Our DEA's (and other agencies) budgets and paychecks are dependent on there being cartels. When there is that much money involved, corruption runs absolutely wild. There's no doubt in my mind that a significant number of U.S. judges, representatives, state LE, etc are tied up in deals with cartels. Hard task to root that out.
Im at SLC airport right now about to fly back home after a romp in the desert. I'll give them one thing, the fact that they were able to will their way through this landscape and settle in these gnarly desert canyon lands is pretty mind-blowing. I watched a documentary about the hole in the rock expedition in the hotel room one night here and it was kind of mind-blowing. 250 people on that expedition to explore and settle the San Juan River region of Southeast Utah, and zero serious injuries or deaths. 2 births actually.

If she is encouraging service members to disobey lawful orders then yes there's precedent for criminal liability due to the Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States (1919). This case established that the government can restrict speech that poses a threat to public safety.



Her speech in the video would absolutely not pass the "clear and present danger test" that was established in that case, and it'd be a big waste of time to pursue those charges.

18 US Code 2387

In the United States it is illegal for a citizen- military or civilian to encourage division, sedition or insubordination within the armed forces.

Her "free speech" is not protected for the acts above.

Punishable by 10 years in prison.

I encourage you and others to read up on it before you talk shite out your cocksucker...and look like an ignorant dweeb



The supreme court ruled long ago that simply saying what she said in a social media post does not meet the criminal threshold to be prosecuted under 18 US Code 2387, and we all should be glad that it doesn't. So yes, her free speech is protected in this instance.

Kids ages are very important. Some of the hikes are very steep, we went in 2022 when my kids were 3, 5, and 8 and it made me very nervous with them. If they are older its really not an issue at all.



I read the Death in the Grand Canyon book a few months ago and one thing the author mentioned that I thought was interesting is that of all the many deaths from people falling into the GC, a very small percentage have been children.

Make what you want of that, I'd be nervous with children around steep cliffs as well, but I just thought that it was an interesting fact.

She should be arrested. Fomenting division and sedition in the military.

She will not be because we have a bunch of pussies in law enforcement.


She won't, because its not illegal. Weird that you are saying that she should be arrested for doing something that is not against the law.

The OP is confusing. Video is about native eastern indigo snakes being released in North Florida to try and reestablish their population.

It's worth the 30 minute drive to eat in downtown Pensacola. Try the Global Grill and you won't be disappointed.


I live in Pensacola, and I disagree. There are plenty of good restaurants here, like Global Grill, but as far as seafood places Pensacola doesn't have anything on OB/PK.

The Keys are fricking awesome. Sounds like the problem is within yourself, not the Keys.

Fisherman's Corner is my favorite. Right by the bridge, next to Perdido Seafood. That's the one we go to the most. Always delicious.

I also like Jellyfish.

Have never been to the Oyster Bar but have heard good things.

I've been to Cobalt a couple of times, and its good.

The Salty Pearl is right next to Fisherman's Corner, and I have heard great things, but haven't been there.

but yeah, definitely go to Fisherman's Corner for lunch or dinner.

Thanks for all the info, and yes I budgeted for the pay by tag toll because I am an OT baller.

I would fly but my Boeing has been grounded due to recent events..


I would stop at some springs along the way.

75 really isn't that much faster is it?

I drove down 98 in December and the hurricane damage wasn't all that bad.

Hoping Ty has a Mac-like season for us.

Stayed in the program for a long time and killed it once he got the starting job.



Would love to see it. Sticking with 1 program in this day and age for as long as he has waiting for his chance seems pretty rare. Really want to see him ball out. He'll have plenty of quality WRs to throw to.
