Marco Rubio - SoS

Ron Johnson - Senator, WI

Clay Higgins - Representative, LA

Greg Steube - Representative, FL

Byron Donalds - Representative, FL

Tim Burchett - Representative, TN

Doug Burgum - SoI

Mike Lee - Senator, UT

re: Thoughts on nepotism? Is it all bad?

Posted by roadkill on 11/4/25 at 8:16 am to burger bearcat

I'm OK with it in the private sector. If I own a private business, it's my decision who to hire, promote, and ultimately leave in charge.

Publicly traded companies typically have boards to make those decisions and while nepotism can occur, there are checks and balances.

Nepotism should never happen in the political/elected official realm. The electorate is on average too dumb and will vote for and perpetuate dynasties, given the option. (e.g., Kennedys, Bushes, Cheneys, Gores, Cuomos, etc.)

bullshite - my health insurance premiums through my employer immediately skyrocketed the first year after barry-care was implemented - sure, illegals have contributed to the high premiums but that is not the primary driver for the ridiculous premiums.

I live in Brevard County - there are a few crocs in the area - not sure if this is the same one but authorities relocated one of them to south FL a couple of years ago and the damned thing showed back up after a few months.

Posted by roadkill on 10/29/25 at 8:26 pm to BluegrassCardinal

Here's what works for me and it's relatively easy:

1 - walk for at least 30 minutes daily and after a couple of weeks increase to 60 minutes every day - nice normal pace, walk with a purpose - not speed walking and not leisurely - 3-4 mph - get some good comfortable, cushioned, walking shoes - Brooks, HOKA, Saucony, etc. Do this 6-7 days every week.

2 - start taking 5g of creatine every day and after 2 weeks, increase to 10g - 2 doses of 5g - the sleep benefits of creatine are well documented and the increase to 10g will give you deep REM sleep.

Good luck.

Lets compare apples to apples:

Deboer has coached Bama for 17 games and is 12-5 = 70.5% (1-0 vs Kelly)

Kelly through his first 17 games was 10-7 = 58.8%

re: Did you go to your high school reunions?

Posted by roadkill on 9/25/25 at 9:31 pm to whitetiger1234

Interesting topic.

I went to my 20th - lived 700 miles away - saw some folks I had not seen in 20 years - had a good time.

I went to my 30th - had relocated back to the area - no travel - reasonably decent evening - really low key.

for my 40th, I had again relocated ~800 miles away - traveled back to the area but rented a house and had my sons and their SOs and invited a few good old friends over and we had such a good time, we didn't attend the formal reunion.

Consciously decided not to attend the 50th.

If I'm still able to attend 60th, I will probably attend just to see who else made it and how they're doing.

A little off topic but I was surprised to see so many obese people in the commercial - I thought that was an American problem and not as prevalent in Europe.
