I’m pretty sure this means he can’t vote for himself in Florida. Lol

Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years
The hope is that this trims just a few more Trump voters off. He won in 2016 by getting non-regular voters out for him. I have to hope that Trump fatigue and, dare I dream, distaste will lower his numbers. Of course, there's also Biden fatigue and the extremely poorly considered attacks from left on...

I misread that as DIII, not DII. Definitely fewer schools there. Still, it's pretty cool. Sorta like Denver winning in D1.

Re: NBA Regular Season 2023-24 f./ NBA In-Season Tournament 2023-24
The NBA era of large, dumpy looking European dudes ruling the league is astounding and highly entertaining. (Watching Doncic is just... What am I watching? I absolutely love it.) Aside from his height and weight compared to those who are smaller in one or both of those categories, Doncic has no phy...

Bill Walton Twitter has been incredible the last couple of days. I always liked him, but I grossly underestimated just how universally loved he was, by both fans and peers. I can't recall too many deaths that have triggered such overwhelmingly positive posts. What a man.

Re: Car buying
CarMax is easy, but their prices usually are a bit above what you can get elsewhere. I always use edmunds.com to calculate an expected price. They have actual data from actual sales, so it's much better than Kelly Blue Book (which is intentionally biased towards dealerships). Use Edmunds to calculat...

Yeah, I hate that song too. Otherwise, I can take or leave Seger. Never did anything for me. But that song has always pissed me off. And of course, "Like a Rock" was also forever ruined by those truck commercials. I do like "Hollywood Nights" and "Turn the Page" though.

I don't remember Cage being part of that scene at all. Didn't his career come a bit later? Cruise was definitely the right age and in some of the same movies, even if he wasn't part of the tight friend group.

Nikki Haley endorses Trump. She's getting raked on social media for being a coward. Calling her a coward implies she’d rather see Biden win. We have no evidence of that.
