  1. So much for having aces up sleeves. Humph. Any port in a storm? The reality is that Streveler is a better QB than 6 current CFL starters.
  2. This wouldn't be so bad if Agudosi wasn't sidelined. Next man up! Hope Walters and Co. have a couple of aces up their sleeves.
  3. That ought to give computers a memory roughly equal to my wife's.
  4. So would I- I am up to some 150 donations but cannot due to the meds I am on now.
  5. By "attract new members" Harper was referring to the Proud Boys, skinheads, and the brain-damaged: Scientists establish link between religious fundamentalism and brain damage A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness. Religious beliefs can be thought of as socially transmitted mental representations that consist of supernatural events and entities assumed to be real. Religious beliefs differ from empirical beliefs, which are based on how the world appears to be and are updated as new evidence accumulates or when new theories with better predictive power emerge. On the other hand, religious beliefs are not usually updated in response to new evidence or scientific explanations, and are therefore strongly associated with conservatism. They are fixed and rigid, which helps promote predictability and coherence to the rules of society among individuals within the group.
  6. If its Russian officials asking, its probably pretty much the same thing. They would likely accept washing machines, refrigerators and TV sets in lieu of cash.
  7. Well, they had better be certain before they bury him.
  8. Russian Officials Beg for Donations to Buy Troops Equipment Russian officials are asking local residents in one Novosbibirsk community to crowdfund equipment for troops fighting in Ukraine. Officials in Morskoy used the popular networking sites Odnoklassniki and Vkontakte to plead for donations to buy quadcopters, gas generators, binoculars, compression bandages, and combat application tourniquets used by the U.S. and other NATO countries, according to the Siberian news outlet Taiga.info. “The goods can be handed over to the administration of Morskoy village on business days,” one posting reportedly read, along with pro-Putin and pro-war hashtags. The appeals were later deleted. The equipment on the local officials’ wish list was said to be meant for members of an anti-aircraft missile regiment heading for Ukraine, though it was not clear why the Russian military was not supplying such equipment. https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-officials-beg-locals-for-donations-to-buy-troops-equipment?ref=home
  9. Well, even eliminated, I am in good company.
  10. Putin is whistling past the graveyard. The fighting has turned against him even before the arrival of western military supplies, his troops are often mutinying and Russia's economy is crumbling.
  11. No surprise here. There have been rumours about McMahon preying on young wannabee wrestlers for years if not decades.
  12. I still think that Bethel-Thompson looks like someone who should be living in a shelter in Wyoming with two dogs and a hundred guns.
  13. Well, it wasn't a classic CFL game, but it was entertaining. Sort of.
  14. If the Argos give up a big return, they deserve to lose, and they do not.
  15. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.
  16. Christmas arrived late there.
  17. Still weird seeing Harris in double-blue.
  18. The protocol is minimal flatulence.
  19. Because Saskatchewan is where soap is still viewed with suspicion.
  20. Impressive how Harris has gotten more effective as the game wore on.
  21. Well, you could have shaved before your date. The Rider d-backs are going to have nightmares about 33 coming at them,
  22. To be fair, the jingle is better than most of her music. Looking like a Comedy Of Errors.
  23. Gotta be desperate to continue to watch this game. Yes, yes I am.
  24. I think I am going to barf.
