A very Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all you folks! In between meals, feeling a nap on our hammock coming on. 62 and sunny.

I had to Google this. tl;dr -- a couple of yokels yelled slurs, everyone directly involved with the event apologized and said that was not consistent with their message of inclusion. What would you like them to do differently in this situation? Oh, and I like the Leftists treating him like crap, there is your party of inclusion. I can see why he says coming out as conservative was harder than coming out as gay. Hint: it isn't because conservatives are mean and vindictive.

That entire thread, OMG what a Lefty echo chamber!

Just wondering, had you read my post from earlier today when you asked if I had posted my opinion? It still seems like you haven't read it, because if you had, you'd know my opinion on the obscure Federal codes they found to charge him with.

I offered my opinion in this thread earlier today. Basically a bunch of people with like minds as you said "dadblammit, Trump didn't actually commit a crime, but he's bad and mean and orange and we need to charge him with SOMETHING$#@!". I find it pathetic to treat a former POTUS that way. There is a legal word/phrase for the fallacy you are proposing but I can't think of the name. Basically, the fact that Trump's behavior was necessary for the events of 1/6 does not mean he is liable for the events.

Much better. That's awesome, thanks!

Please explain, perhaps an example? I don't follow.

This thread sux without pics or a link.

I know why you did it, we all do. We just think it's a dumb and worthless discussion. You think you have some great gotcha, and we're all just laughing at you.

Why are you wasting my time with such a question? Instead, leap forward to the point where Trump directed the people to storm the Capitol (or in some entrances, calmly enter).

Well, for starters, the part i had already bolded. Nothing Trump did rises to the level of insurrection, which is why they didn't charge him with it. If we can agree on this, I'll continue. If not, then I'm back to laughing at you.

See what I mean, @The Real timschochet?

Thanks. People give you a hard time, but I appreciate your willingness to admit an error. If I ever make a mistake, I hope to have that same willingness. The "tactical reason" is that they didn't think they could convict him of insurrection, because they have nothing directly tying him to insurrection. All they have is people like @thegeneralarguing "but but he got people riled up and they stormed the Capitol$#@!" That's why they dug deep into the federal code for the crap they charged him with. This has been my primary objection in this entire farce. If you are going to indict a former POTUS, it should be for something serious like insurrection, not "conspiracy to cheat the government" or whatever they ginned up.

Yes, that's the idea, but does anyone actually use those dispensers? Fock that, give me old fashioned yellow with old fashioned glue on top, and get off my lawn.

You know he has not been charged with insurrection?

I've mostly played Callaway drivers going back to the Big Bertha; currently playing Mavrik, Heard good things about the TMs, and certainly lots of pros play them. I presume my next driver will be a carbon face; these Qi10s look interesting, maybe I'll give it a try.

Renewables seem to lack the fundamental oomph to be the primary source of power for large metro areas. Complimentary, sure. Of course, technologies advance, but it would take some revolutionary development to make it happen. Nuclear has that power and more, even current fission power. I have often said here that the lack of embracing nuclear is a sure reason to believe that the climate alarmists don't really want to solve the climate problem. Because if they did, we could pretty much do it with nuclear today.

I'm always left-leg first, although I'm right-handed all around, not like you lefty demon spawn. As I think about it, it probably evolved from being more comfortable on my right (dominant) leg as the one-legged base. When I did TKD, I tended to have my left leg in front, which is relatively uncommon for right-handers who prefer to kick with their dominant leg, but I preferred it as a solid base. Also I wasn't very good at TKD so...

I'm not sure why you think it would be so difficult to take a handoff. My slower speed would have a minimal time impact over the yard or two needed to get to the QB. If I'm getting hit before I get the ball, an NFL RB isn't going to fare much better. Have you ever watched American football?

Also I'm kinda thinking through this in a non-cancer sorta way. My laryngectomy left me with no left pectoral, breathing through a hole in my neck, and a weakened neck. On this last point, I'm honestly not sure my neck is strong enough to support the helmet, let alone take a hit from an NFL defender. So yeah, probably option 1.

That's silly, I could get the handoff. But you remind me of another question: what happens on a fumble? Because I'm confident that we'd have more than a few of those.

My heart wants me to try #2 but my brain says to take #1. I think I could get the 5 net yards, enough to risk it, but I don't think I could survive the 10+ hits. Chance of survival goes up for runs around the end, since you could probably control the hit a little better. Problem is, my lack of speed would offset the odds of gaining the yards. I'm convincing myself #1.

I've wondered how they make sure they contain the reaction. Obviously the smart people working on this have thought about it as well, but during the development of fission for the bomb they had to be very, very careful to not start an uncontrollable chain reaction. I very much hope that the people doing such analyses are the very best in their fields, and not diversity hires.

I have a classic Atari collection for my Switch. Asteroids, Centipede, and Millipede are probably the games I play the most. Missile Command and Defender are next tier.

The pope didn't say to accept gay marriages, he said you could bless people who were in them. What I've heard that has upset priests the most is that he basically left if very vague and up to the interpretation of the individual priest, which is very un-Catholic-like. But it is consistent with the theory I posed in my previous post, which is that a priest in the US may give such blessings more than a priest in middle of nowhere Africa.
