I had a double double at In and Out based on the enthusiastic reviews of a co-worker. Needless to say I was not impressed and have not eaten at one since. We don't have them here in Seattle WA, so I only get the opportunity if I travel. It's not a boycott per se, I just was really not impressed. Now if their milk shake had been something to write home about, I would go there just for that. Here we have Burgermaster - And they are the best around, plus monster good shakes. https://burgermaster.com/ mspart

It seems the same construct is used against Dershowitz. I don't know him or his work, but I believe he is held in high regard for his expertise in these kinds of matters. I don't know that he has been wrong about anything. Maybe he has, but I would think his luster would have diminished if he had been. mspart

It seems there is a difference of opinion here. And it is all subjective so indeed, it is just opinion. mspart

It looks like Seattle and Portland. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/public-transit-new-drug-den-whats-being-done-keep-you-safe/X6GLQLCLXZGOXOH655KPJ23RJM/ KING COUNTY, Wash. — Lurking inside countless King County Metro Transit buses and trains is growing frustration over dangerous fumes from America’s deadliest drug. According to several Metro Transit drivers and the union representing thousands more, blue counterfeit M-30 oxycodone pills — commonly laced with fentanyl — are openly smoked or “freebased” by riders aboard buses and trains, exposing riders and operators to fumes often described as “sickening.” https://publichealthinsider.com/2022/04/05/its-safe-to-give-help-questions-and-answers-about-secondhand-fentanyl-exposure/ How could one get indirectly exposed to fentanyl from another person? Could you absorb it through the skin? Or through the air? The risks are very low. When someone smokes fentanyl, most of the drug has been filtered out by the user before there is secondhand smoke. It doesn’t just sort of float around. Studies have looked at fentanyl concentrations in the bloodstream after someone has had secondhand fentanyl exposure from smoke. The levels are extremely low or not detectable. So, there’s no real risk for the everyday person being exposed to secondhand opioid smoke. So the lesson from this is ride the bus, don't worry about the people smoking fentanyl, it won't hurt you, don't worry what the bus drivers say. Oh and the people that smoke it are not being guided off the bus, not being kicked off the bus. No, because you can't do that. And no one will prosecute it except they will prosecute the driver that kicks them off the bus or anyone else that does so. That's what it looks like. mspart

And Heaven knows we need another schmuck in the WH!!! mspart

ionel, which one is AJ? mspart

Bets on who bows out first? mspart

We have Trump, DeSantis, Vivek, Pence(maybe), Chris Christie, Nikki, Tim Scott, Asa, Larry Elder. Christie is usually a no holds barred kind of guy so it could be loud. mspart

Double agreed. mspart

We have had success in GR. In 2007 we were the team champions in GR. mspart

Dexterity of a 2x8 board. That's quite dexterous. Brings a clear image to the imagination. mspart

Would it not be interesting to witness? Maybe he would flop. Maybe not. It would be interesting to see. I agree GR has different skill sets. But he may be able to do both, others have in the past. mspart

Those are great anecdotes. I'd still like to see Gable give it a try. He may have been exposed to some GR training in MN where they had a strong GR record of accomplishment. mspart

I've been there once. It was ok. But it was in an airport and maybe not the same as regular. mspart

Crickets so far. mspart

What is it about the CDC, NYT, CNN, and NIDA that is not true? You seem to be saying there is a difference between physical addiction and addiction. Please share because I cannot square your declarative statements with those of CDC and NIDA. mspart

Well, he should talk to the CDC. mpart

It would seem that both statements have truth with them. mspart

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/america-national-beer-could-soon-124430485.html America’s national beer could soon be Mexican as Memorial Day weekend sales drop plunges Bud Light further into crisis Memorial Day is usually a time for families to fire up the backyard grill, invite the neighbors over, and enjoy the sunshine over hot dogs and hamburgers—and, yes, beer. But when the coolers were cracked open this weekend, fewer and fewer Americans reached for Bud Light. Instead people competed on social media as to who could post their best picture of fully stacked shelves next to signs advertising rebates for every case of Bud Light bought. mspart

I agree, Wee is not physically addictive. mspart

Mike, are you making things up again? From your own link: https://www.axios.com/2023/06/01/jeffries-mccarthy-debt-ceiling-bill-deal The bill eventually was approved on a 314-117 vote. McCarthy had told reporters after the initial afternoon vote that he had not cut a deal to ensure the Democratic votes. A spokesperson later told Axios that there was "absolutely no deal" — and that suggestions to the contrary by Democratic lawmakers were "not accurate." Jeffries' office also denied there was a deal. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/us-debt-ceiling-deadline-talks-05-31-23/index.html The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday night to suspend the nation's debt limit through January 1, 2025. The final vote tally was 314-117 with 71 Republicans and 46 Democrats voting against the bill. mspart

Wasn't he there in 2016? Agree with your point though. mspart
