Woody Harrelson's character in Zombieland was perfect.

Like the male, white supremist, Idaho sniper that just entrapped and assassinated two unarmed firefighters? You will not hear about white, male violence much.

""I don't know why he did it, and it's -- it's shocking to me," said the former classmate Dieter, who didn't want his last name used publicly. "It's something that villains do, plain and simple."

Dieter described Wess Roley as someone who was unusually outspoken in the strident ways he would defend his views.

Extremist views in high school

Dieter claimed Roley was someone who talked about Nazism, who was "very pro-gun," who spoke of wanting to join the military, who would often make drawings of bombs and military vehicles and who allegedly got in trouble once for drawing swastikas in a textbook."

At this point, any bumps in the road to unfettered misogynist, bigoted, surveillance christofacist power would be helpful while the left gets a real party together.

Maybe LeBron can get him to man up and reach his potential...whatever that is. LeBron has an amazing record of getting the most out of the guys on his teams, hoping I can respect Ayton yet. So far has just been disappointing and he doesn't really seem bothered by it. Every player can't be KG intensity but man, for what some of these clowns make they should care a whole lot more.

Article yesterday said Chicago had just confirmed a lead pipe project expected to finish in 2077.

TF is wrong with administration around the lakes? How can they be allowed to have so little progress and so slowly as a normal course of business? Insulated career politicians? Bribes?

Porter was pretty streaky, and disappeared for games in the playoffs. if Johnson can be more consistent, especially in playoffs it is a win. What they do with the extra $ saved from Porter is also a good question I'm curious to see how they answer. Denver being out so early was just weird this year.

Hello, would love to see the option to mute/filter posts by some criteria, e.g. down vote score of -10 or greater.

Down voting is supposed to make bad content less visible, it would be nice to allow users to not see troll, bot and other low quality posts based on their preferred criteria.

 

The Melo pick, while not surprising, is disappointing. I can't think of many players who did less with his talents and the situations he had. I had hoped that the NBA would stop honoring chuckers after the 90s; the last 10 years has seen the true elevation of "team" ball, San Antonio in 14/15 and GS for their stretch (and I'd argue Boston's failed few years showed you simply cannot win with hero ball and no defense and when Tatum finally stopped trying to be Kobe they finally won but I'm not here to argue about Boston).

Melo was never able to put aside his ego, arrogance or ignorance and learn to be part of a system on offense, let alone defense which he showed consistent contempt for. The closest he got to competing was in Denver--and that was mostly thanks to Chauncey and over-performances by most of the rest of the team. He immediately took that great team and opportunity and decided to get a bag instead, moved to NY and took himself out of competitive basketball in hims prime so he could be a NY superstar and work on his brand and celebrity which Denver couldn't offer. He took less money to go to NY, and because he demanded a trade before his contract was up, it forced NY to give up most of the young talent they had--so he arrived to a historically struggling basketball city that had been building a nice young core that it had to gut to get him. I don't recall if they ever even made the playoffs with Melo. He should have been booed at every touch for his duration there.

Melo never wanted it in the NBA, shrunk in the big moments, never committed to any sacrifice nor leading by example...until he finally had a mini-renaissance with a reduce role on the Blazers--something had he done it years prior would have made him a wicked weapon as a 6th man, but with that ego it wasn't happening.

If Melo gets in, Bradley Beal should get it. Can score with their eyes closed but want no part of what it takes to win. Hopefully the last relics of a dinosaur era where stats didn't matter.


Howard did more and did enough. Intensely unlikable guy, and while his ring wasn't really "his", he played some nice support minutes to AD and added value and managed to keep his idiocy in check thanks to the bigger dogs having him on a leash. Howard deserves HOF in my book.

 

Super brave Caucasian commissioners decide committee they do not directly benefit from does not have a purpose, in a wise and comprehensive evaluation showing exactly who is a member of their community worth investing in.

Program had no funding and cost nothing other than ~4 hours of each program member’s time related to the program each month.

Please keep this in mind when thinking about where you will travel, vacation, live and do business with in Oregon. If you'd like to share your thoughts with the county commissioners: board@deschutes.org

Hi, I'm in the US and non-car safety is appalling. I live in a semi-urban area and get nearly hit, obstructed or aggressively cut off at crosswalks or driveways nearly every single time I run, which is every other day.

Rather than try to make the case with stats showing no local enforcement of pedestrian code, I've decided for my and likely my future lawyers sale I should just record and montage it. When I'm inevitably disabled or killed by one of these selfish dumbasses, at least it will make for simple settlements, and prosecutions .

I'm in the market for a headmounted/head strap camera, preferably with a microphone option. I googled a bit and there are some go-pro-ish options but they all seem pretty big and heavy, made for mountain biking or swimming, etc. anyone have ideas or links for a lighter option? Don't need 4k and 400gb of storage, just enough for an hour or video and audio at reasonable resolution.

TIA

 

It steadily has dropped for a year or more and I can't take it anymore. If I replace will they fix? I pulled it off and even with the water off there is still water coming out of the pipe at a slow, slow drip pace. Is it the water shut off that needs help? Would of course prefer the cheaper fix but if a new head isn't going to stop the leak it'd be good to know.

TIA
