Wyatt Earp And The Cowboy War (NETFLIX)
jerryskids replied to BeenHereBefore's topic in The Geek Club
Thanks for the tip. If you are interested in delving deeper into this, I recently read a great book on it called The Last Gunfight. https://www.amazon.com/Last-Gunfight-Shootout-K-Corral/dp/1439154252/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DI2SHMHB86UD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wCwc_I-6U47HJ8Wx-VUpB71-40dxH9Q_nw_p6K8x2QXLsv_i837NMlJwlUGEuduVgIoRuzO9bsf9_rARZo8l1RZccC0LzQazVckxvihtwRw.d5ztmFfCPpwySBTcTeHZlfyUwKv03uDK6UQYCK7hi8s&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+last+gunfight+by+jeff+guinn&qid=1725132601&sprefix=the+last+gunf%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1 Very well written and keeps your interest throughout. Although, I am an Arizonan, and I was fascinated by the development of the state in the late 1800s. Also, as it looks like this series shows from the trailer, Wyatt wasn't the angel we usually think of. -

Agreed. I was going to say that the problem with your analysis is that you are viewing it with bias, as am I. I recently listened to something which reminded me that a lot of people don't pay a lot of attention to politics. For them, things like Kamala's "happy happy joy joy" campaign can be effective. Similarly, the commercial you referenced shows Kamala as the border czar and tying it to bad outcomes. Non-political (apolitical?) people can appreciate that we have an immigration issue, so the tie to Kamala can be effective. -
***Fantasy Geek Ball League 2024*** Is Clocaine the team to beat?

I was also surprised by the RB run at the 1-2 turn; I was hoping Etienne or Pacheko would be there. Ended up picking a 2nd WR (MH Jr) to go with JJ. That kinda threw me off my plan, and along with drinking too much, led me to draft all Cardinals. (also took Kyler and Conner, plus Wilson for bench depth). If they turn into the greatest show on... sand? I'll be styling and profiling. More likely, the site ranking of 7th seems about right. -

When I moved into sales, I had been an engineer supporting the same companies, and when I was going on vacation early on, I gave them contact info in case they needed anything. My best customer/contact joked in response, "in case we have a SALES emergency?" Lo and behold, while I was gone, they had an urgent need for one of our products, and ended up ordering it while I was away. Given my relationship with him, I gave him no small amount of shiot when I returned about his "sales emergency." I'm mostly typing this to distract you and make you less prepared for the draft. -

European Influencers Being Used to Try to Swing Election
jerryskids replied to Sean Mooney's topic in The Geek Club
I appreciate the post and link. So, who does stuff like this? Is this like people who hack for the sake of hacking? Also on a random note, I've always wondered why such spam has obvious English language errors, as your article noted. AI wouldn't have such errors. Somebody trying to actually accomplish something wouldn't either. It's like they intentionally include such errors. -

Are current or former staff of Kamala endorsing her? Serious question, as I had heard she can be a bit of a biotch to work for. I don't expect them to come out explicitly against her, because the Democrats are much better at putting party first. But are any giving glowing endorsements? -
Thanks for the reminder. I'm not sure I'll go out of my way like with the regular olympics, but I may put Peacock on in the background. Some of them are so impressive... during the swimming trials there was a guy with no arms or legs. To get out of the pool, he bites on a towel that somebody holds and they pull him out. Also he swims faster than probably all of us, doing a butterfly of sorts.

I'm merely pointing out that the manufactured, forced joy we are getting with Kamala is reminiscent of some past attempts to convince people that they are happy, dammit! -

From your link: So, almost 1/2 of the $60B would have gone directly to Ukraine and our heightened presence/training there. And most of the rest was to restock weapons and equipment we already gave to Ukraine, apparently without funding in place to replenish it. And $20.3B to border security. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-unveils-118-billion-bipartisan-bill-tighten-border-security-aid-2024-02-04/ Look, I'm not a big anti-Ukraine person -- I've barely if at all commented on it. But it is disingenuous to call it primarily a border security bill. -

Well, Kamala hasn't stated much in terms of specifics. So I would expect her number to be low at the moment, and perhaps until the election, if she has her way. Joy! But if she pushes for nationalized health care, Ima guess she'll blow past that $5.8T in the first few months. -

IIRC, it was the opposite: it was mostly funding Ukraine, with some border money sprinkled in. Me too. The people who care about the debates will understand what I just said, if Trump says similar. I personally hate the way bills pass in Congress with all of the different pork, and when somebody objects, you get low-intelligence people saying "you hate border security$#@!". Umm, no. -

How do waivers/FAs work? In my other ESPN league, waivers clear Wednesday night, you move to the back of the bus, and then FA until Sunday's games. Same here? And why am I last in line? -
