Back in 2005, not-yet-Dr. Vicklund went to Canada for a year to do her dissertation research. She was close enough that about 3 out of every 5 weekends I headed south to the border (I was working in Detroit at the time). My wife loves her some Red Lobster, but it was not convenient where she was sta...

Even with the gift link, the failing NY Times refuses to say who the second witness for the defense was, or what they testified to. However, they did bring us the all-important news about all the stupidity that the yammering monkeys outside court had to say. :mad: They talked about the first witnes...

Robin Williams used to claim that Parliament was like Congress, but with a two-beer minimum. I think the roles have reversed.

If my wife hung a flag upside down, there is not a window in my house I could look out of to see it. I would have to go outside and look.

Planes and Boats and Trains. Wrecks!
Sounds like I'm going to have a very good understanding of what happened when they finally figure it out. Aside from the fact that it is on a ship, this is my area of expertise.

The tornado was declared an F2, which is a little higher than I was expecting. It was on the ground for ten minutes and damaged quite a few homes and buildings in three different municipalities, all in my usual stomping grounds. The church that was first hit had about 100 people in it when it hit w...

Diamond isn't a very good construction material, though. It may be hard, but it is also brittle. It's like building with glass that can't be easily cut or scratched.

My brother-in-law has been swatted at least twice since the start of the pandemic. Fortunately the police were on top of things, and were very apologetic just for knocking on the door and disturbing him.

That was the conclusion that the woman on the chat reached, but there wasn't (in the article) any confirmation from the police. There are other possibilities, such as swatting.Dave from down under wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 8:03 am The article says the officers went to the wrong address.

My friends/acquaintances from Portage have all checked in. Minimal damage, but some are without power. A lot of tornadoes in Michigan the last year, several times had cloud rotation that passed directly over my house, but either didn't touch down or touched down a few miles downwind.

Uh, he has in his pants the thing that will prove that Ms Daniels is lying. Does he have the courage?

Go easy on us, chancery, even SCOTUS gets it wrong repeatedly: The Eighth Amendment protects against excessive civil fines , including forfeitures. Alexander v. United States, 509 U.S. 544, 113 S.Ct. 2766, 125 L.Ed.2d 441 (1993); Austin v. United States, 509 U.S. 602, 113 S.Ct. 2801, 125 L.Ed.2d 488...
