I took it at face value, so yeah, perhaps. I would like to think it is true - no joke.

It is kind of strange, as the whole oppressive nature of the colonial system created the concept of “blood quantum”, and imposed it on tribes as a way to exclude them. However, there are instances where Europeans and Africans were adopted as tribal members. But then in the past 50 or so years, as the tribes created…

Yeah, and the thing that people don’t seem to understand is that Trump and Co. were using the name “Pocahontas” intentionally in a derogatory, mocking way towards Sen. Warren. It is not the name itself, it is HOW it is used. But they are so dense that they then pivot towards a defense about the name instead of their…

Both involve big families and questionable relationships with animals

That is super sweet on all sorts of levels - the answer really always is : Miata

my, my...everyone is a critic.

I’m just not feline this comment at all. Knowing that I had a cat stuck in my grille would make me puma pants!

I think you nailed it - his entire tone was disgusting and condescending as usual...and he even had the nerve to “give” the Navajo speaker a garbage gift of the speech that he was going to use. Prior to this, Trump did not know shit about the code talkers, and he probably still doesn’t.

Hmm - I searched around and see that there was a discovery about 9 years ago of a city in the Elah Valley that could have been where King David was, and that the Tel Dan Stele makes mention of “The House of David” in a very minor way. None of this substantiates the David vs Goliath story, sorry. All instances of the…

And the other thing that is necessary is for people to actually listen when someone is speaking from their heart. Especially with sports, it seems that many Americans wants one dimensional narratives that fit with their existing perspective.

Man, I want to know what kind on drugs you have to be on to design something that is a convertible without any rollbar, but still somehow requires a drag chute.

I mean, sure we can be pedantic about sling vs. slingshot...but are we really to the point where we are citing biblical stories as “fact”?!

Yeah, that was the most impressive part by far. Not only does he do extensive body work, but then also sews up an entire interior from scratch (with templates), AND then also has the skills and ability to use a machine shop for engine work. Seriously this guy is an automotive renaissance man, and I like his attitude..

Yup. I run Blizzaks on all my cars during the winter. Last year we went to Idaho over New Years through packed ice and blowing snow. I was going a cautious but decent speed in my old Mercedes 190D, and was very much within the limits of my tires. Then an idiot in a newer 4wd Toyota Tacoma tries to pass me around a…

Yeah, it seems like this town has both extremes of idiocy : People who run totally bald tires in the snow and rain and then wonder why they are all over the road. And then people who go to Les Schwab the second that the first leaf turns yellow, throw on their set of studded Hankook tires, and tear up the roads until…

I think one of the big things is the lack of focusing and shading of fixtures. In a lot of retrofit situations, the same LED bulb will appear to scatter more light because it is so much whiter. Making sure that fixtures have sharp cutoffs and are pointed downwards would do a lot for light pollution.

Also from a big messy family spanning the entirety of the American continents, from Peru to Canada. Both mother and father have been married x3 times.

As a kid the only media we got to watch was PBS. I distinctly remember that LeVar Burton was the first celebrity that I ever thought: I want to be that person. Not sports stars or musicians, but rather LeVar, getting to go to cool places and talking to interesting people. I did read a lot of books too.

Apropos of not much other than the title of the post : I remember the song Ms. New Booty and was just thinking about it the other day. I just today realized that Bubba Sparxx is a white guy.

Not quite sure what you are getting at with a lot of this post, but I agree that voters tend to remember how well their cities deal with winter emergencies. However, we also notice the accelerated depreciation of cars rusting. I would much rather have my city invest in snow removal equipment than use a lot of…
