Thanks. Your clubs are as old as mine! Also, I never got the i3 gap wedge (also 52). My game could really use it, but at this point I'd rather get a new set of wedges (and maybe irons) than invest more in a 25 yr old set. I don't mind my 60. It's not for bump and run, just 1/2 to full swing flops, so the flat bottom is fine... usually. Unless I skull it.

Doh!

Yep. But Jon, he's young?$#@!

What do you think he did in his brief time? Transfer the Treasury to his offshore account? Put his face on the $20 bill? (that would be funny actually)

Of course Wired was right. They had "many" privileges. That "typically" means blah blah blah. They committed to nothing. You weren't anything except a lemming. You didn't understand the above, you still don't understand how such systems work, and you just parroted what the MSDNC told you to. Don't you have work to do as a finance VP of a billion dollar healthcare-adjacent corporation?

Thanks, good to know.

That changes nothing I wrote. Also, an accident that was quickly corrected doesn't exactly sound like a grand plan to take over the government. Has Elon sold your highly valuable personal information yet, lemming?

Certainly had a better year. Doesn't a career make, tho. Time will tell.

Thanks. I can work with that, but I'd need to get probably 3 additional wedges with higher loft. Have you looked at the Titleist Vokey wedges? I'm intrigued by the different grind options. My ancient wedges (also i3) are flat with no bounce, and contribute to chipping being the worst part of my game. https://www.golfgalaxy.com/f/shop-vokey-wedges

Great, glad it helped. New topic, open to everyone: do you know what loft your PW is? I ask because I play Ping i3s that are 25 yrs old, and my PW is 47. I was looking through new irons (got a list of "top" ones for 2025 from Golf Digest) and they are all in the 41-43 range, most are closer to 41. That's stronger than my 9 iron. Similarly, 7 irons go down to 27, that's my 5 iron loft. So it appears irons these days are stronger and farther apart. I guess that explains why they only go up to 5, sometimes 6 irons. The 6 is stronger than my 4. I'd like to move into this millenium with my clubs, but I dunno, I'd need to think through the lofts. I also have a 56 and 60, and most of the sets don't go that lofty. It also explains why sometimes guys hit an 8 farther than my 7 and I'm like man, it didn't seem like he swung that hard!

Taylor Made is having a buy 3 dozen, get a 4th free on TP5 and TP5x balls, if anyone plays them.

Hey buddy, thanks for bumping this to remind everybody I was right. McConkey didn't go in the first round, and he isn't the best WR in that class.

Same

Outstanding. This exchange of hundreds of Hamas terrorist killers for a handful of hostages who may or may not be alive is pathetic. The message is simple: release all of the hostages or it's glass-making time. Terrorist shiotbags like Hamas understand one thing: strength. We are long overdue in entering the FAFO phase of this.

I'll live with winning followed by mild disappointment.

FYI I was going to grab Keegan if you didn't.

I was hoping he would drop to me. I'm on deck for two, and I need to head out, so I sent my picks to @BiffTannen

Insightful as always, KoL!

And resides under him. Look, two laugh emojis, yahtzee$#@!

How does this increase Trump's power? I suspect you are saying that he is trying to unilaterally eliminate a cabinet organization (he can't, BTW) which was established by Congress, and if successful, would set a precedent where he could just, I dunno, eliminate everything and become dictator? That's squissy-level stuff there, but I'm trying to figure out your angle.

The Department of Education is a cabinet-level agency which falls under the POTUS. To eliminate it is to reduce the size and scope of POTUS control. Not sure what you're asking.

Yes, I understand this. I already said it. His effort to majorly cut funding, reduce headcount, and eliminate entire departments like Education reduce his power. The end effect of his attempted coup on the ICA restrictions is to further continue the efforts I listed, which further reduces his power. Do you understand these?

How does cutting funding for LGBTQ operas overseas increase his power?

You said everything he is doing. I pointed out the majority of things are in fact the opposite. You claim hyperbole and ignore my points. You're right, one of us is struggling on this. Carry on.

I'll just keep copying and pasting it until you acknowledge it: This ICA activity would increase his powers, but there is that little problem of his effort to majorly cut funding, reduce headcount, and eliminate entire departments like Education that more than offset it. And realize that the ICA "increase in powers" is in the context of cutting, not adding, which would have the end effect of reducing the Executive Branch power.
