What if he had drafted a real golfer instead of Tiger?

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, anyone planning any sacrifices? I'm giving up whiskey, which I've been drinking a little more than I'd like. We'll also eat minimalist on Fridays. I also downloaded an app called Hallow, which has some interesting Christian meditations and associated prayers during Lent. I know it's not hipster to do anything for Lent, but since people do Sober October and Dry January, and pretty much every civilization in the history of ever has seen the value of mindfulness/meditation and sacrifice/fast, I thought I'd ask. If you abstract away the God part, it can be a very rewarding thing.

No worries, no offense taken. I'm merely arguing that there is benefit to the practice, independent of the religious aspect.

That's why I said in the OP:

Alts: 1. Montgomery 2. Putnam

Just saw this on Bobulinski, figured I'd put it here. https://www.dailywire.com/news/prosecutors-never-interviewed-tony-bobulinski-whistleblower-tells-congress-in-testimony-on-biden-corruption Seems odd that the feds would never talk to him. That doesn't seem like a very thorough investigation.

Have other non-presidents been impeached?

I agree with this. This sets a bad precedent for when the other party is in charge.

Are you completely dry? Do you plan to stay that way?

We're planning this; fish for dinner. But I'm thinking of passing on breakfast and lunch to do a 24 hour intermittent fast. Other than cream in my coffee, I won't give that up.

Mistake? Like, your cat walked across the keyboard and typed that? That seems more likely than a mistake.

Have you been drinking the communal wine? This makes no sense.

So, I gave the concert a 4 out of 5 on Ticketmaster. Here was my review: I took my son and his GF (both mid 20s) as a Christmas gift; she is a Tool fan and it seemed like a good way to bond with them as a couple, while seeing a bucket list band for me. Thing is, she knows the better-known songs (like the ones I listed), as do I and I would guess most of the attendees. If you are going to play half of your concert from your new stuff, you should be better about the older stuff. Then again, going against the grain is a very Tool thing to do. I had researched the expected playlist and familiarized myself with the songs. If you go, I suggest the same.

Interesting. I saw Styx in early 2020, just before the Covid plague. Small venue, a couple thousand maybe, no other acts. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Styx was probably my favorite band in my formative tween years (late 70s to early 80s) and yes, Dennis DeYoung is no longer with them, but the replacement did a great job IMO. That being said, I love REO (moreso their earlier stuff) and that concert sounds a lot of fun.

Seriously though, I think the point they are trying to make is diminished by being too greedy and unreasonable with assumptions like this. If they went with, say, 10 hours per day, 6 days per week, call it 1/3 the amount, that's still $24B, which is roughly $24B more than their descendants today deserve, but it is still a stronger argument.

That's some hard-working slaves!

Again, I am not (nor do I think johnnyutah is) necessarily advocating the decision. Personally, I think the decision to go 2nd is the right call. But there is an argument for going first. That being said, to cmh's point, it does not appear that Shanahan went through this analysis. It seems he was unaware of the different rule, and just went with the "regular" overtime decision.

This was one of the reasons I voted for seafoam. The other is his incessant posting of the same thing over and over again, be it a video of Biden sniffing hair, or "what?", or... My second place is Raven Fan, due to his inability to master the English language, particularly singular vs. plural, which he tends to wrap around idiotic positions. But each idiotic position is at least differently worded to relay a somewhat unique thought. Plus the volume isn't there.

I agree with @JohnnyUtah. His point was that if both teams score the same on their first possessions, the advantage goes to the team with the ball, which would be the Niners. And if you were "sure" the Chiefs would get 7, you might as well go first, because you know you need to get 7 either way, and then you get the above advantage. Put another way, had they held the Chiefs to 3, the advantage would shift to the Niners. I'm not saying, nor do I think he is saying, that this necessarily outweighs the benefit of going 2nd. He is merely disagreeing with the position of "there is absolutely no reason to go first."

That's actually a catchy refrain.

Phase 2: it happens but it's rare.

I was going to grab him if Wonder didn't.

Which makes their countries worse by their absence, no?
