Was never a huge DC fan... info like this won't change that.
India will be top 4 in manufacturing by 2026, passing Germany, and 3rd by 2030, passing Japan and only behind the U.S. and China. They have a history of being less than friendly with the United States, leaning more toward Russia (or the Soviet Union). Their human rights record is atrocious, up there with many Muslim countries.
Other than the obvious...

Knowing was stupid, but fun.
The Frozen Ground is good. It became much more popular once it hit streaming.
Joe is ultraviolence Nick, which is always fun.

I was excited for this one because of the actors in it and thought it would be kindve ignored and left alone. What I’ve heard is the movie is about Yelena’s depression and the other characters are minimized. So she’s the star and she’s miserable. I’m not trusting that.


I have a feeling that she and Bucky will end up an item. He hooked up with the real Widow in the comics while he was Cap.

All of the time. It is great for research. If you are sports stat guy, you can find damn near everything you want. The info is available other places, but the compiling and comparing takes time.

Simple NFL question: "Who had the best passing percentage over the span of 2005 to 2012?"
Answer: "Between 2005 and 2012, Drew Brees maintained an impressive average completion percentage of approximately 67.6%. This figure underscores his exceptional accuracy and consistency during this period. During this period, Brees consistently ranked among the league leaders in completion percentage, culminating in a record-setting 71.2% in 2011. His performance during these years solidified his reputation as one of the most accurate passers in NFL history.?

Other notable quarterbacks with high completion percentages during this timeframe include Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Chad Pennington. However, Brees's sustained excellence in this metric set him apart from his peers."
Based on his injury history, he might just be stating fact.

You have to be able to do three things (obviously more, but these are important):

*Hit a 15 yard out. This is a bread and butter route. If you don't have the arm for the option route to the outside, you are not going to last long.
*Pick up 5 yards on a scramble. It is a misconception that a QB has to be fast to be mobile. Mobility means movement within the pocket and the ability to pick up small chunks when necessary.
*Comprehend film and make use of it on the field.

Players who can run well are able to cover some of these deficiencies, but the two who have been most successful, Jackson and Hurts, both also rely on perennial top 5 defenses. As a passer, Hurts actually had a terrible year, but won a Superbowl with defense and a strong run game.

The focus on "running" QBs has hurt the game. Coaches and owners are convinced they can take a Milroe and turn him into a Brady with speed. The stats do not lie.
*Passing YPG peaked in 2015 and has been on a steady decline since. The last time yards were as low as they are now was 2008.
*Attempts per game are at a 20 year low.
*In that same time frame, rushing YPG by QBs has gone up by 50% and attempts PG have doubled. This is also evidence that, even though they are running more, QBs have been less effective when they do take off.



Pakistan obviously has severe issues, but India has never been a friend of the United States, especially during the Cold War. They will continue to grow and will be the next big manufacturing rival as China begins to recede.
Most of the opposition is from districts that do not want to be forced into a one-size-fits-all program.
The real problem is that all of these farmers have been overproducing due to subsidies.

Definitely an interesting process. The pope is an elected monarch. This is something you don't see often.

We do W+ for groceries. We still have Prime for everything else, streaming, and specialties foods (gluten-free).

Comparisons of similar populations have shown over and over that dental procedures rise in areas that do away with fluoride.

There are some weird lobbies out there that have amazing political power. In California, the prison guard union gives millions to candidates and PACs.
Funny that as soon as the Pope kicked the bucket, this movie started trending on Netflix.

If it is a three-season tent, you can have some issues, event with a rainfly. Snow accumulates, causes sagging, and you can have water seepage. I know quite a few people that will put a tarp above a three-season ten if snow is in the forecast.
