There’s only one circumstance that makes me okay with this…when politicians start another bullshite war to line their own pockets the kids of these grifters are the ones drafted (along with the politicians kids). Let the professional abusers of the system send their kids to die while the rest of us, who have a moral compass, live in peace.
The average wind speed up there is about 35-40 mph with gusts pushing well into the 100s. I hiked it with my son a couple of years ago in July. It was 52 degrees at the top with 50 mph winds. What they did was really, really stupid.
Breastfeeding is a cheat code for women to lose weight after giving birth. It burns an extra 400+ calories a day. My wife was back to her pre-pregnancy weight in 2-3 months with all 3 of our kids.

Ramps and Chock Your Tires. When I was 17 I always changed the oil on my 66 mustang. Finished and unchocked the tires. Remembered I’d missed greasing a joint on the drive shaft. Got back under. Nipple was facing up so I told my brother to put it in neutral so I could turn the shaft (stupid, I know but what do you expect from a 17 year old). Parking brake didn’t hold. When it rolled off I grabbed the undercarriage and held on so it wouldn’t roll over me and used my body as a brake. That was very bad for the skin on my back. The worst part was the exhaust pipe was resting on my neck and shoulder. Those were some fun burns to tend to over the next 3 months.

In short, just take it to someone but if you really want to do it get good ramps and chock your tires.
The one from the school is more than fine.

Find instructions on how to boil then bite. If there’s some overhang past the molar mold cut it off.

The overhang and poor fit are what is causing him to gag.

He doesn’t want to bite so hard that he’s nearly all the way through in some spots.

As an aside, when he’s tackled and goes to catch himself on the fall tell him to bend that elbow. Fractured radius is an extremely common middle school football injury.
Wilson footballs! 10-15 years ago they were as reliable as it gets. The last 5-6 years the price has gone up to $115+ and at least a third of the ones I order will not hold air and have to be sent back.

Incredible movie. I randomly quote it all the time.
Yeah when I was a kid I’d sort them by color before eating them as well. Tan was always smallest percentage of the package so that naturally made them special. Then the bastards went and did away with them altogether. I was disappointed.

Yep, God is Love.

The laws of nature are consistent with regard to what is valued and what is not. A lion will fight to protect his young. It’s nature’s way. The moment a new lion takes over a pride it will kill the cubs to eliminate future competition and induce fertility among the lioness’s. A lion is indifferent to a beetle. It plays no part in the lion’s natural need to survive and have its young survive. This is natural law.

But there’s a different, higher law that humans are tuned in to. If we behaved as the lion does to competitors it’s seen as immoral, evil.

Instead we find it virtuous to forgive enemies, to help the stranger. We feel freed and whole when we fulfill this desire. When Japanese women were hurling themselves to their deaths while clutching their children during WW2 US Marines pleaded with them not to do it and were deeply saddened and troubled by the deaths. Why? Where did these feelings come from? Certainly not nature… they run counter to natural law. It’s illogical. But our hearts sing when we give in to this illogical love. This illogical love wouldn’t seem to be a product of evolution as it would run counter to survival. So where does this love come from if not from nature?

The exoplanets mentioned earlier remind of the first technique used to detect them: by observing the wobble of a star caused by the mass of a planet revolving around it. I would argue that this illogical love that resides within us as truest truth is the wobble of God.

Amazon essentials. $15-$18. I’ve got five or six pair. They’re pretty much what I wear everyday from April-September
The best guess on the evolution of the pronghorn’s speed is that it came about to avoid the American Cheetah. The American Cheetah died out around 13,000 years ago and was larger (around 150 lbs) and not quite as fast as the African cheetah. Think of it as mix between a cougar and African cheetah. I believe read somewhere that it’s estimated top speed would have been around 55-60 mph.
Yep, UGA did a study a few years back where they tracked a bunch of domesticated cats and they found the following statistics regarding cat’s hunting practices:
30% is eaten
21% is brought home for presents
49% is killed for the hell of it and left to rot
I’ll say it again. When will you do an SD.kfz 231 6 rad?

Just kidding. I’m a huge fan of your work. But I also think the styling of that recon vehicle was sleek!
This should be a 16-10 game with the Bengals driving down to make it a 2 score game. Absolutely terrible decisions not to take the points on both those 4th downs.
