The Glory of God let us score that touchdown. We're so thankful that God spited the Nittany Lions.

A tasty glass of Porter sitting on the bar at the Coquina Coast brewery in Flagler Beach, Florida

sitting here at the brewery, enjoying a Pumpernickel Porter, and somehow thinking about decades ago getting out of the pickup with my buddy to "lock in the hubs."
Are there any four-wheel drive vehicles made today that require you to lock in the hubs?

Over the last 13 years, this district has been represented by DeSantis, Waltz, and now Fine.
None of those elections were less than a 10 percentage point win.
Things are definitely not fine in Florida's District 6.

There is only one way to make these weird things palatable.
Take one candy corn and two dry roasted peanuts. Pop them in your mouth together, and voila, salted nut roll. You're welcome.

Yes, a good start, but Mavericks, Pelicans, Nets, Raptors, Heat is not exactly a murderer's row of opponents (6-18 combined record, or 6-13 if you remove the Spurs games).
I'm a bit of a closet Spurs fan, and I hope they have a great season, but a little perspective is probably warranted here.

I'm a bit older than you, but Lance Alworth was the bomb in the '60s and I've always preferred the light blues.

Just wait 4 more months and then we'll do it again. That should take care of everything...

Vikes are my number 2 team
Twins are my number 2 team
Wolves are my number 1 team
Wild also number 1

But I get almost no engagement on sports posts, so I've mostly stopped.

Well Len, "not perfect" is one thing, but when I asked Gemini whether I could take 2 different drugs (I had a cold) at the same time, it said sure, go for it.
Actual Google results from doctors said absolutely not. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
I do use almost all of them from time to time, for low stakes stuff only

Agreed
I watched Boegarts get called out on ball 4 that was 4-5 inches below the zone in the 9th inning, and I sure as hell wasn't happy about that. So yeah, bring on the roboumps

I do now. So he should have struck out on three pitches instead of four?
Yep, a bad call, but not all that earth shattering, is it (this time, anyway)?

Your graphic baffles me. Not watching the game, it's Cubs v Brewers, so who gives a shit, but...the graphic says all three were swinging strikes, so what is it that we won't deal with next year?
