Good win, Lager. Also, Fumble's math is off, the numbers add to -11, not -12. Also, really tight at the top. Also, I'm never drafting that bum Finau ever again.

My jinxes are superpowers, I need to be careful. I also complimented @listen2me 23on his Jason Day pick.

JT wheels came off at the end, water/double on 17, water/spray off the fairway on 18

Interesting. Hovland won me my first major; the PGA back in 23 (he came in second I think, but I won, and that's all that matters). Similarly I've had good results with Xander and Cantlay, although I wouldn't draft Xander at his current slot until he shows he is back. JT, I don't know if he's burned me, but I've watched him underperform enough to generally pass unless he drops to sufficient value.

One of the first things I observed when I joined is that Cloaca almost always takes the highest ranked/odds guy. The drafters around him try to get sneaky, and somebody good drops to him. That seems like his strategy in general, anyway.

Can you give us the official BiffTannen rating of all our drafts? :prettyplease:

Back to the OP: I believe I said in this thread earlier that I'm OK with tariffs in certain situations: retaliatory, perhaps child/slave labor, etc. If such tariffs are in place, business can plan for them. If they are not in place, businesses can also plan for the lack of them. What they CAN'T plan for is this on again off again stuff. Markets hate uncertainty, and it is showing. Trump needs to make decisions and ride them out for a while. As a side note, if I ran a business, I wouldn't announce a major move of manufacturing just yet. There is plenty of time to make such an announcement in the weeks and months ahead, when there is more clarity on these tariffs. But that's just me.

Alts: Jake Dirt Knapp Thomas Detry and try again

I was wondering that, but he married a US citizen, and apparently that is the fastest way to get one. With a baby on the way as well, Ima guess that he won't be deported.

This was a fundamental flaw of the Obama/Biden foreign policy approach -- the belief that creating a stalemate situation encourages concessions. It perfectly describes Ukraine, but also explains our former approach to Israel/Hamas (slow play support and intel to Israel, while supporting Hamas through UN "relief" organizations. Also the seeming inexplicable billions of dollars we've given to Iran to fund their nuclear weapon development. This doesn't work. As evidence I provide the three above situations. In the real world, concessions are made and conflicts end when one side is clearly in an inferior position. Which is where Ukraine, Hamas, and Iran would be if we didn't have our hands on the scale to create a "stalemate."

Squissy claims to have blocked me, presumably because he has no answer for my rebuttals. Here's another one he won't like, if someone wants to quote it so he can see it: "An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force⇤ Roland G. Fryer, Jr.† July 2017 Abstract This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force - offcer-involved shootings– we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police o cers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of o cer-involved shootings. Keywords: discrimination, decision making, bias, police use of force." https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/fryer/files/empirical_analysis_tables_figures.pdf I've heard the author talk about this: he was strongly encouraged to bury this data, because it didn't fit the proper academic/Leftie narrative, but he published it anyway. We used to have better race relations, but then Saint Barack the Omniscient started gaslighting you that we had this hooge problem of unarmed black shootings. Pro tip: If you can "say their names," among millions or tens of millions of police interactions per year, it isn't really that many. I recall a data set from the FBI, from a recent year, that said something like 12 total such unarmed shootings that year, and most of those were "unarmed but not complicit." Perpetuating this lie does not "help" the black community.

Lurked on the Main Bored starting 1998 or 99, whenever I started playing FF. Joined in August of 2001 but stayed on the Main Bored until... ... Fall of 2004, when a lot of election talk was spilling over there and Mike said for the 892714389th time, "take it to the Geek Bored!" So I thought, hmm, maybe I should check that out. I instantly got into a slap fight with TorridJoe about the election, had my Barney moment and have been here ever since.

No, I said your community wouldn't, not you. No, I didn't say that. I said what I said in my last post, I'm not going to repeat it. Otherwise, good job, good effort.

JT the Poston always rings twice @listen2me 23

Interesting that his wife is 8 months pregnant. He might want to look into a different line of work, one that earns honest money and doesn't put himself or his family in danger. Nice priorities, I wonder if he learned them back home in Syria? Probably for most of them, because foreigners pay full or close to full tuition. Not sure about this guy though; looking at his background, they probably thought it would be woke to have a pet terrorist sympathizer in their student body.

It was your analogy, in response to HT's statement that people in Haiti eat cats. HTH. Also I called you racist because you are calling Americans with Asian surnames "Asians." I only noticed it because a few minutes ago I looked up two golfers of Indian ethnicity: Akshay Bhatia (born January 31, 2002)[2] is an American professional golfer. Sahith Reddy Theegala (born December 4, 1997)[3] is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Your analogy was to Haitian migrants, who lived where it was common to eat dogs, then coming to America. I'm talking about similar. So I'm not talking about a third generation American citizen with an Asian surname, racist.

How would you prove their citizenship nationality? ETA: Nationality is a better comparison.

Yes to the first part.

You've ghandi nuts, I'm done here! (also we are probably annoying everyone) ETA: Also, I looked it up and Bhatia and Theegala are both Americans born in California.

I call BS on your lily-white upper middle class suburban neighborhood letting Asians live there.

I dot it matters

I'm sari you see it that way.

I was between Griffin and this guy last night so let's roll with it. Ashtray Bhatia

You missed take a dump, which I'm doing now.
