Well, we could combine men’s and women’s events and then comment on how women never win a single event.

Yeah, no. Depending on status with an NFL team, you can be cut for missing preseason camp, or, at the least, fined 100s of 1000s of dollars.

Well, she tested positive for a banned substance as recently as March. We still don’t have great scientific understanding of the longterm effects of these substances, or exactly how they impact performance. Perhaps, if she was using up until March, she expanded her training envelope and is still experiencing positive…

Depending on what insurance she has, good luck. Insurers’ liability coverage usually covers the “reasonable cost of repair.” Wouldn’t be surprised if they pay up to the “prevailing competitive market rate” for labor- which will be a fraction of the cost of Ferrari Dealer Labor. Fortunately, I doubt there are any…

Oh, electronic funds are very real, but it’s not like there’s a finite amount of funds in the world, and one guy’s possession/use of some large portion thereof reduces the available funds for everyone else’s. There is a finite amount of actual cash, and if he used actual cash it would reduce the remaining cash.…

I see where Nissan was going with this- diesel guys love Cummins, as they should, and this is a much better engine than, for example, the VM Motori in the 1/2 ton Ram EcoDiesel. BUUUUT Nissan made a mistake making this so large- essentially a 2/3 ton pickup?- Guys who need a 3/4 ton will get a 3/4 ton, which will be…

I mean, I only NEEDED 1 widget, but it was cheaper, per widget, to buy 10K of them.

Does it still have the weird capacitive touch buttons for ac/volume/etc?

This has always been my rule of thumb. For one, I know I can have 2 beers at an event, over the course of 2-3 hours, and be good to drive afterward.

The last couple of years, though, my law firm has had an attorney-only Christmas party at Ruth Chris steakhouse. Some people get drinks, but my boss doesn’t, and neither…

Protein shake. My favorite- Almond Milk, Vanilla Protein, Peanut Butter, Banana. Done.

I really like the Taco TRD Pro, and I’m hoping to be in the market the end of this year (finally time to retire the 2003 Sport Trac). But I really need something roomier- wife just got a Wrangler Unlimited, which is fine for around town, but not for roadtrips, so whatever I get is the roadtrip car. We have two kids,…

Were we improperly/illegally holding these Iranians? If so, then someone should be in jail. If not, then we traded criminals for hostages, along with a metric assload of cash. At the end of the day, regardless of our government’s thoughts on why we were paying the money, the Iranians considered it a ransom. That…

The Iranians seem to think the money was paid in return for the release of the American detainees. Even if, arguably, we owed it to them, we hadn’t paid it in 37 years, and using it as a negotiating tool for the release of, essentially, hostages, still constitutes ransom.

If you owe me $100, but keep saying you’ll have to get me next month, and I get tired of it, so I kidnap your daughter, toss her in my basement, all tied up, and tell you to pay up the $100 to get your daughter back, and you pay it, I hand your daughter back, I’m pretty sure I can still go to prison for kidnapping.

The celibacy as contributing to the epidemic of child molestation is a tired and absolutely false trope. Think of it this way- if you go weeks, months without getting laid, do you suddenly get the urge to molest a child?

Also, “epidemic” is a bit strong. In the last 65 years about 4% of all Catholic priests in the U.S.…

We tried to stick with store brand (a lot of HEBuddy - Texas grocery chain HEB) except where specified otherwise. Here are our lists:

Has to do with the law, as applied in each case, is as the Judge instructs the jury, not as, perhaps, one attorney on the jury understands it.

I’m a lawyer...almost always struck for being too knowledgeable about the law.

Just finished our “required school supply” run for Kindergarten daughter and First Grade son...more than $100 for both.

My kids are 5 and 6. We’ve always explained death to them, but they really don’t get it. They still occasionally ask if/when random dead relative is coming back. At that age, forever/eternity are essentially impossible concepts.
