Only if he’s perceived as being right, and replacing him wouldn’t solve the problem. The purpose of the threat to quit, is to take the issue outside of “chain of command” (which would end at the producers for him) and have the upper execs have a looksee. Because he’s on air talent which has undergone approval at…

The east coast is the center of the media’s ego. Including the Gawkerverse.

Choking hazard. The assumption In America is that here any candy will be given to a child of any age, even infants, unsupervised. I don’t think that’s an incorrect assumption. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Gazoo Racing? That explains a lot.

Y’know, no one has tested the “First use” doctrine in an attack on a superpower’s homeland.

Looks like a good place to build solar powered antimatter factories.

Yes, it’s an awesome battle strategy, which will like most battle strategies, go completely tits up the moment the first shot is fired.

The “Black and Tan” was one of the best tasting fermented beverages I’ve ever had out of a bottle.

Let’s see. You have channel forming dendritic activity, which goes large to small and forms branches which widen and form other branches. This has the appearance of looking fractal. Then the dendrites from separate branches merge. It has the appearance of a two dimension limited neural network which can no longer…

I took a Budweiser factory tour in Fort Collins once, because the person in Fort Collins whose house I was stopping at on a road trip, was still at work.

Call it a “Ranchero ST”.

You could get that bed to be as long as 4 feet!

Ford should totally offer this with two seats in the back as a Focus ST trim option.

...laughing his ass off...

How does this solve the problem of not enough water falling out of the sky to feed the farms in the first place? The problem is farms use too much water for the amount of water that falls from the sky during drought years. This is just a resurrection of the old “peripheral canal” idea.

There are plenty of willing suppliers, true. But ramp up, reworking transportation costs, possible international patent issues. It would be extremely disruptive to the global economy, and would have vast grievous unintended consequences.

Lot of variables this early in the season, to be certain. They should have a plan in place to pump early runoff water from warm rains, if it hapens, into the aquifers. I hope it’s another big snow year, and so far so good.

So have I! Twice. Gonna miss this one because I haven’t skiied in years and cash is short. Assuming the pattern holds. You’ll have to put a second July ski day notch on your belt for me.

As I say to my younger friends, “All y’all are living in a science fiction movie, and don’t even know it.”

The real number looks to be in the 10-20 year range. Just long enough so it sneaks up on ya.
