but they should at least get some extra credit in their science class or something.

This is not one of the cases where the OT says just a bunch of future doctors and engineers blowing off some steam.

The old Russian seemed pretty based. All you had to do was not try to get over on him and he was going to be level headed. But if you crossed him, then you know what to expect.

How do people find about this news is my question.

I was watching the 5:30p ABC national news yesterday and it was a story. Now you may ask why was it a story on the National News, I cannot answer that. I just am stating where one would get such a story.

I actually had to let it process, then I turned to my SO and ask, did I just hear that correctly, that BP is off the wagon and it was just told by David Muir.
Ive always sort have felt the same way. Full disclosure, I'm a total geek when it comes to shows about ancient civilizations, but the whole "hey we found a bunch of tombs, lets dig 'em all up and play with their skulls and pelvis" bothers me a little.

But I'll still watch it every time.

Probably not until all agency regulators are bots as well. The siting, design, and permitting of offshore infrastructure is case by case but I'm aware enough to know that eventually AI could do most of it. Do the siting analysis, prepare construction drawings, and do the various studies for a permit package. Especially if another bot is requesting the information.

People like to see other people overcome the negatives in life. Holly is a favorite because of her health battles.

If they wanted a water theme the Cleveland Eeries would be more appropriate.

Both songs suck. The Joel version is an instant channel changer

Freshman in college, history prof has a bunch of the Joel version references in a bucket. Pull one out and write a short paper on it. I drew children of thalidomide.

Junior year I have an organic chemistry class and for a couple classes we went over enantiomers. Because of that song I got a few questions right on an organic chem test...and potentially kept me out of making a D and pushed me into the C's. Thanks Billy!

Squatters.

With a 3/4 ton and Mustang in the driveway. checks out. ....and a boat
The historic area goes out to the old gate about 1.5 miles from the old fort. However its only about .25 mile from some of the outlying batteries.

Its real easy to sneak around at night down there. In HS we used to sneak out there at night and drink beer. It was spooky so the girls stayed clingy :pimp:
Probably more at the 4-hour mark, but just north of Tuscaloosa is where the hills start that are closest to you. Lake Lurleen is a good spot.
The worst episodes were always with Michael Irving. He and SAS....all they did was yell over each other. Like I couldn't even stand it have it on in the background when working from home.

Some guest with SAS are ok for periods and dont ALWAYS devolve to yelling. This is tolerable for background noise.
Look, Clowney absolutely destroyed the RB. I get it, it was a fantastic hit. But lets be real, literally no one blocked the guy. He didnt put a move on a man, he just ran straight into the RB. So "baller move"...no.

Downvote away

:cheers: I stand corrected. Thanks for the lesson.

it displaces a lot of people from homes due to companies buying up land

Do data centers have eminent domain? No.
So any displacement of families via land acquisition is voluntary. I remember this type of talking point during the initial Pennsylvania frac boom. People at public meetings were all like, Williams came in and put 15 wells on the Jones property and drove them out....
No what really happened is the Jones leased their property for 20 times what its really worth plus royalties, making 250,000 a month, and went and bought them a place on the water in St. Pete.

get the feeling that it will be a recovery, fabrication, and/or testing location. Similar to NASA Michoud. Not necessary a launch site

This. Launch sites in the US have water to the east because of rocket trajectory. Russia and China have vast nothingness to the east of their launch sites.
Good for him. According to the goog machine, he made roughly 13.5 million in those 8 years. He's done slightly better than me the past 8 years. :cheers:
Would also include kids in college. My two boys are about an hr away in opposite directions, living on/near campus, but their main residence is under my roof. Not saying that is all college kids but i bet its a big percentage.

re: Great Lake summer town- where to go?

Posted by PCRammer on 7/16/26 at 11:59 am to
Not sure how far you want to go but if you're up for it check out some bigger places in the Adirondacks like Saranac Lake or Lake Placid.

But maybe you meant a town that is on an actual Great Lake.
I have an Amazon card I use only for purchases on Amazon, which you get a 5% reward on that will accumulate and then use the credit as you wish. I don't use it for anything else though. I also pay it off every month.
