Pretty much my thought as well.  I am not begrudging anyone’s faith, much less any little tidbit that might give him some small measure of comfort in a horrible tragedy like this.

It’s not *inherently* bad.  We’ve just been genociding the wrong people.

Well, the interior is in pretty good shape.  That’s about it.  This one SCREAMS “Someone else’s project” along with the engine screaming “OWOWOWOW” at that 27 psi number.  Rebuild necessary in 3...2...1...

And for context, I get cluster headaches, and they are comparable pain, but short-lived.  I’ve never cried from pain as an adult except for this.  I’ve had gangrene in a toe.  I’ve severed a nerve in my hand.  My wife makes fun of my pain tolerance - what other people describe as debilitating is something I have very…

Mine was the best possible outcome - zero pain and full use of extremities for the last year+.  I *begged* and cried for the surgery.  Anything to relieve the pain.

If hydrocodone had done *anything* for me, it would have been easy to see how I could have ended up as a statistic as well.  I would have been downing that shit like candy - anything to get *some* relief from the unrelenting pain.

Let’s just say I’m less than shocked that his gendered name calling was how this ended.  Not all men, but definitely him.

Virtue signaling is what the loons call “Calling an asshole an asshole.”

Same. L5-S1, and I was in constant excruciating pain. The initial doctors were AWFUL. Everything took forever to get done. Insurance forced me to do 6 PT sessions that were clearly not doing anything except making me piss myself in pain. They gave me hydrocodone, and it did absolutely nothing for the pain.  They gave…

Shitty police work is the cause of this acquittal, not shitty juries.

That’s a different question.  I was saying you have to get one of THAT GUY to win a championship (or more than one). How you do it is another story.

The Vikings really have done pretty well against the Packers, though.  *checks history of NFC north wins in last 30 years*  Oh.

The proper end to this was LOL KIRK.

No.  It’s not floppy trash.

Seriously. I agree that it’s a casserole. A delicious, coma-inducing casserole of awesomeness.

Here now to protect Watson’s blind side instead will be Panthers washout Matt Kalil, who can block about as good as your dad can at the moment.

The Spurs tanked for Duncan, the Cavs tanked for LeBron. Heck, IIRC, the Warriors even traded Al Harrington for Jamal Crawford for an expiring deal in the season before they took Curry.

Many is a stretch.  With the sole exception of Kawhi, the top player on every championship team for the last 30 years has been a lottery pick.  Not always #1, no, but Top players on championship teams that were drafted #1 are pretty common - LeBron, Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, etc. If you’re making the playoffs, and just…

Yeah, it’s not the same in football. Stars are available later in the draft. One player (other than QB) isn’t the sole difference maker on a team. The NBA is just different. Franchise changing, title winning #1 players in the NBA are only available at the top of the draft, and even then, not every year. You sell out…

And if he does, I think that needs to be out there so the hegemony can be broken.
