“Our relationship is strong, or at least she is.”

Considering the smallest football players would be rather large as soccer players, I don’t consider that likely.

I mean, my teachers were free to try, but I usually saw it as a sign that they needed an education in the subject that I was willing to provide.

Part of it is this tendency in a lot of conservative movements (sometimes it happens in progressive movements as well but conservatism is implicitly backwards-looking) to idealize a fictional version of a given time in history. In the case of white racism you’re talking about people who are looking for European…

Should probably be saving that, since it’ll get obliterated over the next 3 years if it isn’t already tanked by losing a different credit.

6 of the teams in the conference finished under .500, only 7 are in the RPI top 100, and Michigan was the only one of those top 15 teams that was active yesterday. At most you’re looking at Friday night having interesting games and it’s the dregs of a very thin conference playing on Wednesday and Thursday, when other…

Maybe if they were having a strong year, but it’s a dreadful year for the Big 10. That Indiana team Rutgers beat started the season getting destroyed by Indiana State, for instance. They might only get 4 teams in the tournament.

Worked for Eric Crouch.

My biggest concern is that not wrapping him up quickly enough led to the injuries that resulted in the dog losing all his teeth.

Missed opportunity.

I lucked into the silver. I didn’t realize how good it looked until I got it. Now I can’t imagine preferring any other color on this model.

Developing country is an economic designation. You don’t have to be free to have a developed economy.

Yes, performance package. The lighting package is the only other one I was interested in, and I was caught between availability and necessity.

All I got was a manual 2-door S with the sport package. I did not want a sunroof.

Nah, it’s KC as in the Sunshine Band — a nickname.

Fastest growing usually just means potential hasn’t be reached yet. It’s why I laugh at people who think the US can consistently reach 7% annual economic growth. We’d have to be a developing country to have that much unrealized potential.

That’s what I want to know. They roll out fancy chairs for developers at a lot of places I work because they want us to spend a lot of time in them without getting posture related injuries, and those are still only $1000 or so.

I thought that was lacrosse or curling or something else. Soccer is way too entrenched to be the fastest growing.

Nope. A losing US bid in Moscow would be the icing on the cake to Putin, especially if he and Russia are seen as having been the kingmaker.

A good trip if you’re in northern Virginia is to look at the old Presidential mansions. Start at Mount Vernon, then go to Montpelier, then Monticello. By now they’re figuring out that the big story at each location isn’t the dead president but the entire enslaved community that actually made the mansions and worked on…
