It probably won’t succeed, but we don’t have a German restaurant. Personally, I like German food, but I suspect there aren’t enough of me to make one profitable in BR.

I use an inexpensive Serman Brands wallet. Had it a long time. Not looking to change.

Not sure this is exact, but extremely close:

Age should also be a factor. It has been said academics do their best work before age 40. Let people serve in congress and the senate until they are maybe 45, then push them out into the real world where they have to live the rest of their lives with their decisions.

Outlaw having homes in the DC area. They should live in a dormitory while in DC and eat in a cafeteria. No fancy dinners. They shouldn’t actually have to be in DC that much. Live in your district while representing. Maybe meeting DC one week a month.

Also, figure out how they are getting rich (stocks, funneling campaign money to relatives, etc.)and shut off the spigot. Let them get rich under the rules the rest of us play by - real work. Serving in congress should be a sacrifice.

Show me the country that has gone all in on wind and solar that has cheaper energy costs than us? Hasn’t worked out in Europe.

Well, my most liberal friend really likes Cassidy. Cassidy must be a good conservative.

Do we need dead whales and birds? Shattered turbines littering the beach and ocean with fiberglass? These are the things offshore wind farms are best at. We can generate power safely and cleanly with nuclear.
Big mistake letting them work there. They are in all the companies also. We had some in the company I worked for that stole intellectual property. In general the Chinese I worked with were nice people, good workers, and smart. I’m sure they were not all spies, but how do you know who is?
The longest my grandfather waited to remarry after his wife died was 9 months. Some men just need to be married.
Went to that game with a couple of buddies and my 8-year old son. Was a great time. I’ll never forget that game. Miss the old Rosenblatt.
It is possible it is true but look at the date of the document. 2019. Many of these were just probably political ploys to smear political opponents- anyone working with/for Trump. Dems do this all the time. Had that been filed in 1996 or 1997 it would have more credibility.
How do we know it is AI? I can see the slit of a mask where his head would be. Similar to the mask the others are wearing. I think the mask just blends in with the cop behind him so seemingly it appears he is headless if you don’t look closely.

Serious answer. I'm kind of pro union. Yes, I know there's the potential for corruption within unions, but I've seen the good that can come from collective bargaining.


I am not a union expert, but at my company we had one non-union plant and those operators/maintenance workers at that plant were happier and did better work than the union workers at the other plants. And they were paid well also.

Grand Canyon University in Phoenix says hello


GCU hosted the 2024 Slam dunk/3-point contest. Angling for the best seat, I accidentally sat in basically the student section. GCUs students were awesome. They were loud and a lot of fun. Best dunk/3-point contest atmosphere I’ve been to (attended each one since 2019) and it was all because of how good those students were.

3/4 of them picked Miami... pretty wild after what Indiana had done to Alabama and Oregon.


And yet, Indiana needed Miami to give them the game by missing a field goal and electing not to attempt to block on a punt. Miami was not a crazy pick - could have easily won the game.

The chart lists capacity, not actual production. I wonder what the generation numbers actually average.

His having contacts in the CCP and taking kids to China every year didn’t tip you off that he was a communist revolutionary?

My cousin lives in the suburbs. I went to the 2019 Final Four there and had a great time. Was safe, clean, and fun.

It is not the same they say. Parts of the town we went to are basically a no go zone now.
