If we had some real journalism that reports facts and exposes corruption, that would go a long way towards cleaning it up. However, that is extremely unlikely so it will probably take an actual insurrection. Which will then be followed by more corruption. ...

[quote]Yes. That’s pretty well known by everyone. That’s why they’re planning on cutting a couple of spots in the levee south of New Orleans to let the river flow into those spots again. [/quote] If done improperly, it will not help. I was friends with one of the worlds leading authorities on sed...

[quote]Raised Catholic here Still have faith, but disagree with much of the church’s teachings. Especially the whole no sex before marriage and not living together thing. Like you are going to Marry someone you are supposed to be with forever without testing the waters first[/quote] First of...

With that dark roux it looks more like crawfish stew - which I really enjoy, but for me étouffée is much lighter in color and thicker. My wife’s étouffée is awesome and, sadly, I am usually disappointed greatly if I eat étouffée in a restaurant. ...

[quote]In South Dakota, Biden’s unity-branded administration is using the pandemic to cancel 4th of July fireworks at Mt. Rushmore. [/quote] Shame. The fireworks at Mt Rushmore will make you proud to be an American. Awesome experience. Not surprised Biden would cancel. He has no pride in Amer...

I have several Veritas (low angle jack, low angle smoother, regular no 4, and a shooting plane) and just bought several older Sargent planes off eBay and fixed them up. A 408 and two 414s (equivalent to a #3 and #5 Stanley). The Sargents sell for a bit less than Stanley and that is why I got them. T...

[quote]Wilt Chamberlain would dominate any era, IMO. This always sounds good... but it’s false... hell Dr. J himself would be average now... Wilt a great for his time.., game played on too many different levels[/quote] Don’t you think if they played now their game would adapt? They were aw...

[quote]quote: I understand it could be both and for the most part I’ll leave STEM graduates out, although they too get plenty of Marxist indoctrination poured into their college education. Disagree. I was STEM and felt 0 indoctrination. Its hard to put a liberal slant when you're teaching some...

I did a quick look. I need to watch again, but he said 2xS2 = S + S or something like that. Then they shift the second S series by one place, get an answer and divide by 2 to get S2. I don’t think you can shift one series like that and pretend it doesn’t really matter. ...

[quote]Looking back they should have just left him in the cop car until the ambulance came.[/quote] They would have if he would have gotten in peacefully. I don’t think they successfully ever got him in. ...

[quote]I seriously do not believe Bryce Young will have the experience he needs[/quote] He played some last year in mop-up duty and will have started all the games this next year up until LSU (~7 games). He will be pretty much as experienced as any of our quarterbacks....

Summary: LSU offense is average in terms of runs scored. Well below average in batting average, striking out, etc., but hit enough home runs to compensate somewhat. LSU’s defense is well below average. LSU’s pitching is terrible - especially relief pitching. ...

Wasn’t watching, but was it a waste area and not a bunker?...

Great job by Marceaux. In the back of my mind, Nola had a sub 90 pitch complete game or two. Those are the kind of games I like. Especially with our poor bullpen. ...

[quote]I'm always in a structure of some sort, trying to tee up in cracks on the floor. [/quote] Me too. Can’t get the tee to stay in and when I do find a spot, there is no room to swing. ...

[quote]My first thought is the kitchen aid mixer I bought as a gift. That thing feels like it was made in the 1950s. Heavy duty metal and so far runs like a champ.[/quote] I’m not sure this is true. I have rebuilt one KitchenAid mixer. Lots of plastic inside. Not sure what the old ones were like,...

Pull the brisket when the flat probes “like butter.” This could be 195. It could be as high as 210. 203 is probably average, but it depends on the particular brisket and your smoking conditions. Lower temperatures and it will probe easily at a lower temp. Higher smoking temps may lead to a higher f...

My neighbor took some of mine and planted them. They are doing fine. ...

[quote]He has a center's game and speed in a power forward's body.[/quote] I can’t see how this can be more wrong. He is not an elite interior defender. Or perimeter for that matter. He plays low to the ground. He does not play with his back to the basket. He is not a dominant rebounder. In short...

[quote]The rail systems in Europe are way less efficient than the ones in Japan also. Japan is pretty much the golden standard when it comes to high speed rail networks.[/quote] Japan is pretty much a north-south country. What is it, 100-150 miles or so across at the widest? The US? Not so much....
