Indeed. I would point out that gender-affirming care is often a euphemism for medical castration, but you claim to have me on ignore.

Unfortunately, that's all that's left.

I intentionally misspelled the word to avoid triggering folks like yourself. I'd say HTH, but you put me on ignore while not ignoring way more offensive posters, because you know that you have no response to my posts, like this one. Feel free to prove me wrong.

I would absolutely put Ben in before Average Eli.

Presuming 2K hours per year of work (40 hours per week, 50 weeks), which is probably way more than Gen Z wants to work, that's a mere $300/hour. Surely we can swing that as a society? Heck, that's couch cushion money for the Geek Club.

I wear these types of hats all the time, I've got 5 of them. Golfing, hiking, yard work. They're the best for protection from the AZ sun. Three of them are cloth with mesh tops which are my summer hats. One is a silly-wide brim Cardinals hat that my wife won't let me wear in public; it's my yard work hat because it provides the most protection. The other two are nicer: one is an Akubra wool hat from a sales incentive trip in Sydney. The other is a leather floppy hat I got last year from a leather store in Jerome, AZ. I wore that hiking today. I'd be concerned about the Wagga Wagga, living in Colorado, because it says it isn't waterproof. My leather hat is, although I'm overdue to treat it. As such, I'd suggest oilskin. There are plenty of options. I'd go with one of the standard ones, but if you get multiple, I'm a bit intrigued by the Kodiak mesh: https://www.outbacktrading.com/collections/hats/products/1472-kodiak-with-mesh-oilskin-hat It looks better on the cowboy dood's head than standalone. Gets 4.9 reviews. It would be more of a summer hat for you. Claims to be waterproof (maybe not totally in the mesh area), but also allows air flow. Good luck.

Pretty good summary, but you missed a few things in Kamala's favor. 1. The MSM gaslit the public 24/7 that Kamala was hip and popular and well-spoken, and who needs press conferences or any unscripted, difficult discussion? 2. The Leftist elites donated > $1B to the Kamala campaign (and they inexplicably overspent), flooding the airwaves with ads.

Maybe she didn't want to get stalked by an internet cat guy any more.

He was "only" 83; I'd have thought he was older. RIP Chuck

Glad ASU beat KU, will help in the tiebreaker of record vs common teams.

Also, I made myself a double old fashioned after that game. I think my heart was beating faster than after my HIIT workout this morning.

Wasn't there; all tickets were >$200 and our daughter came over who I hadn't seen in a month. Couple of friends went tho. To Pat's comment, the excitement is because with a win over a down Arizona team in the Territorial Cup next week (never underestimate a rival), they are in the Big 12 championship game. I'm 99% sure. As CMH implied, it looks like ASU and Iowa State control their destinies. That being said, that coaching by Kenny Dillingham for ASU at the end of the game was about the most full retard coaching I've ever seen. They won despite, not because, of his idiocy in that sequence.

Oh, he'll get stuff done, but not all your childish trolling list. Balanced budget was a campaign goal?

I love that you chose to throw away your vote in the most valuable swing state, solely so that you could troll here regardless of who won. I'll smile whenever you troll like this for the next 4 years.

Not sure what to tell you. Maybe go back to HS and learn how our federal government works? Mooney is a teacher in PA, perhaps he'd tutor you?

I was talking to Worms, but I'll take that as a "no" from you.

You know the filibuster still exists, right?

These discussions always focus on bathrooms, but they also mentioned changing rooms and locker rooms. These latter two are a hard stop for me. If you disagree, you don't have a female in your life.

Great to hear, except for the back! You've mentioned her back issues before; that's a bummer. I don't recall the details but would be interested in hearing (or re-hearing, you might have told me some of it), if you want to PM me. If not, no worries.

How is she liking it? I was just down there this week around lunch time for a class in the ASU Health South building (roughly Fillmore/Taylor and 3rd/2nd St). The area seemed quite vibrant, as indicated by me being at a stop sign waiting for all the pedestrians to cross.

I'm great, thanks. 4+ years past my surgery, looking good. Stopped immuno treatments over a year ago because there was nothing obvious to treat. Next scan is February, which reminds me I need to schedule it. How about you?

We have one, maybe the same you described. Never run it on max power; on auto sense or whatever the battery lasts forever. We have mostly tile tho, and no big furry dogs shedding all over the place. We had a problem with the battery working at all. At first they shipped us a new one, and that seemed to work for a short while, then same problem. They asked me to bring it into their store (they have a physical one here), they diagnosed it and ended up replacing the entire base that the battery plugs into, all for free under warranty. This was several years ago, it has worked great since.
