That’s the factorial, Jacktorial! (Not a guaranteed contract, obvs.)

It’s a similar problem to methane flaring at oil rigs. “We do oil, not gas. Methane is a problem to be solved to us, not a valuable resource belonging to the public trust. Burn that shit right off!” Make natural gas leasing contingent on helium extraction in high-yield areas, or offer incentives and leased…

The above tips for removing stripped screws are helpful. But the best way to deal with a stripped screw is to not strip it in the first place. I know that sounds glib, but as long as we are on this subject, let’s go over some ways to drive screws happily and with almost zero likelihood of buggering the buggers.

We spent some time crawling around the floor looking for them, then Rick (the prep cook) sweetly asked the driver for a replacement flat of criminis... and some more of that there pan spray. ;) I suspect the Sysco guy got an earful from his boss about putting flammables next to a roaring gas cooker.

What the hell happened to Trippier since the World Cup? Even his dead ball deliveries went to crap, so now Erikson takes them all. Was he always crap at defending and passing & we just didn’t notice? Hard to see him starting for England now. Hard to see him starting for Hibernian.

“Harry Kane’s jaw is still on the floor”

Then it Boyle’s over ... and BLAMMO!

Some impressions: How Liverpool’s players kept up that level of pressing and running the whole game, at the very end of a long season, is beyond amazing. The past two years, you could see the toll of Klopp’s max-pressure approach as his players’ heavy legs betrayed them. Deeper bench? Better conditioning? Home crowd…

Followed by Calling Cards, which is equally poignant and my current fave. Neko doesn’t give an inch. “Made me think there was something coming, something worth waiting for .... I’ve got calling cards, from twenty years ago.”

All children should be checked thru in hard-sided rolly suitcases. Problem solved! Worth the $25 upcharge.

Best moment of the game was Harry Maguire’s freesyle down the left side, with the big guy falling on his ass at the end but creating a great scoring opportunity, which Maddison squanders.

Deffo getting a Proud Boyz/Vox Dei/Jordan Peterson vibe off this guy, too. Bet he has all kinds of theories re: lobster evolution. Except it’s TN, so maybe crayfish?

I just caiman my jeans.

He’s also shown us just how notional & tissue-thin those norms and traditions are, and how easily shredded by people who care only about narrow, short-term self-interest rather than enduring projects for the collective good.

Stopped by tracks north of depot in Laramie to watch the train. Lots of people with cameras, live uplinks, VHF radios, mostly Colorado and Nebraska plates but some from further away. Pedestrian bridge over tracks was loaded with viewers, to the point some people were worried about its safety.

The name of Donald J. Trump’s racehorse was D.J. Trump. Of course of course. It went about as well as every fucking thing he touches.

Gotta admit, that’s a step up from John Bolton.
