Narr म्हणाले...: I tried to go to the recommended WSJ site but can't access Twitter. Started yesterday or Saturday, and I understand I'm not alone.

I don't have an account myself but have been able to see tweets before. Just thought I'd check--not the greatest loss.

We have had three weeks straight of stormy Sunday nights. First there were 130k customers w/o power (we were among them for two days); then about 70k the second time; and last night, just as the number was down to a few hundred, another 34k. Some people, mostly to our east, have been without for 8 days.

We were able to keep most of our food on ice or in the neighbor's freezer (they have a generator) but had to throw out maybe $100.00 worth of opened jars etc. We defied the Experts by trusting our noses, and cooked a lot of things so as not to waste them.

My wife's Brit friend says that they get compensated by the utility if they lose food to

Curious George म्हणाले...: US Senior Open. On 18 Langer's third shot went into a collection area off the green and ended up by a sprinkler head. He went through the process of relief and tossed the ball to his caddy who cleaned the ball, He wasn't on the green so that would be a one shot penalty. He won by two but if he signs that scorecard he DQs. I wasn't recording it to go back but did anyone else see it?; ३/७/२३, ८:५६ PM

Mutaman म्हणाले...: "5G and Wi-Fi are controlling, you know, controlling our mind. The government, you know, aspects of the government that are supposed to be in favor of trying to help people, actually hurting them. AIDS is not, you know, primarily caused by HIV or HIV is not involved in AIDS. Atrazine is changing frog sexuality and by implication, human sexuality. Your cousin is not, your cousin Michael Skakel is not guilty of the murder of Martha Moxley that he was found guilty of.

You know, the 2004 election in Ohio was stolen. It kind of goes on and on. Do you how do you answer people who say, you know, like this is the sign of somebody whose thinking is fundamentally conspiracy-minded rather than kind of dealing with brute reality? You know, that is difficult and, you know, and terrible, but is not what you seem to be making of it."

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: Any libs want to talk about how Tesla was $108.10 on Jan 3, 2023, and closed today at $279.82?

Here's the fucked up thing about the stock market. Elected officials can trade. And so can ivory tower, rich liberals.

Remember Liz "Pocahontas" Warren, wanted a gov't inquiry into whether or not Musk betrayed Tesla stock owners by buying Twitter?

We're they purposefully driving he stock down? Of course they were.; ३/७/२३, ९:३२ PM

I did not see it. I was watching the Rocket Mortgage Classic from Detroit GC.

But what you describe is not a penalty. You can routinely clean the ball when taking relief from ground under repair, a sprinkler head, etc.

Rule 14.1(c) specifies when it is that a ball that is legally lifted MAY NOT be cleaned:
c. Cleaning Lifted Ball
When you lift your ball from the putting green it may always be cleaned. When you lift your ball from anywhere else it may always be cleaned except when you lift it:

To see if it is cut or cracked – cleaning is not allowed.

To identify it – cleaning is allowed only as needed to identify it.

Because it interferes with play – cleaning is not allowed.

To see if it lies in a condition where relief is allowed – cleaning is not allowed, unless you then take relief under a Rule.; ३/७/२३, १०:०६ PM

Chuck म्हणाले...: Oh, and to Curious George; I expect you're old enough to be remembering the late great Roberto DeVicenzo. Or something like that.

But what you earlier described wouldn't be a DQ for Langer. You should be aware of the change to Rule 6 made after 2018.

The key change was a new exception to Rule 6-6d, worded as follows:

Exception: If a competitor returns a score for any hole lower than actually taken due to failure to include one or more penalty strokes that, before returning his score card, he did not know he had incurred, he is not disqualified. In such circumstances, the competitor incurs the penalty prescribed by the applicable Rule, but there is no additional penalty for a breach of Rule 6-6d. This Exception does not apply when the applicable penalty is disqualification from the competition.; ३/७/२३, १०:१५ PM
gadfly म्हणाले...: The grandfather of Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child [Navy Joan Roberts], [is] Rob Roberts, [who] personally hand-delivered a custom gun to Donald Trump Jr., and the pair appear to have a close relationship, [according to] . . . the Daily Caller.

[Biden's "Baby Mama" is Lunden Alexis Roberts, who was a stripper at the Mpire Club in Washington, DC - according to Whistleblower X].

“Proud to have delivered a custom build to a man that needs no introduction,” Roberts’ May 3 post on his company’s Instagram page, “Rob Roberts Custom Gun Works,” says.

“Good times buddy,” Trump Jr. responded to the post.; ४/७/२३, १२:२१ AM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: Ice Cube makes a compelling appeal in the second half of the video with Joe Rogan.

He’s talking to us, the little people, to fight back this thing that’s trying to lord over our lives.

Happy 4th.

Movie “Independence Day” might be good to watch again.; ४/७/२३, २:२६ AM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: Newsmax: “cocaine was found at the White House”?

Report says Hunter had been at the White House Friday.

Maybe it’s not true and even if it was true, it would not be deemed big.

Stay tuned.; ४/७/२३, २:३४ AM

Jaq म्हणाले...: Twitter is the only way to keep up with what is going on in France for most normies, and I don't think that it is a coincidence that it is shut off to non subscribers (total anons who can't be followed). The violence in France, if covered in the US, would help Trump, for one thing.

It's tempting to think that whoever is leading our geostrategic policy of created mayhem worldwide, which inevitably causes blowback, like in France right now, is stupid, but that's not it. There used to be a blog that had quotes from Al Gore's "Earth in the Balance" and the Unibomber's Manifesto, and your challenge was to guess who wrote what. Well, if you genuinely believe that the planet is at risk, what tactics and strategies are not justifiable, and what blowback and levels of casualties are unacceptable?; ४/७/२३, ५:२९ AM
Humperdink म्हणाले...: Quote stolen from a comment elsewhere:

Q: How can you tell when the truth is being told?

A: Facebook blocks it. Twitter deletes it. Google hides it. YouTube bans it. Government forbids it and media brands it as a “Conspiracy Theory”; ४/७/२३, ५:५५ AM
wendybar म्हणाले...: It takes a man who came from oppressive TURKEY who happily became an American Citizen to tell off an ugly, hateful, divisive American who plays a game for a living and hates America . Why she and her family stay here is beyond me. If you hate where you live, move to where you think it is so much better, and leave us the HELL alone. She is part of the problem in America. If you hate America...nobody is stopping you from living your best life...elsewhere. Stop bitching, and go.

@EnesFreedom
Just ask your colleague Brittney Griner how “trash” America is.

Calling America trash huh?
Let me know when your season is over, I’ll buy your ticket and we can go together to counties like China, Russia, IRAN, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, & Turkey.
Forget about calling them trash, I would like to see if you can even criticize those regimes!!
You and your family members would be thrown in jail, tortured to death, and raped.
People have NO idea how lucky and blessed they are to be in a country like America.
I’m not saying America is perfect, but trust me, you don’t wanna see the other side.

Our country is trash in so many ways and instead of using our resources to make it better we continue to oppress Marginalized groups that we have targeted since the beginning of times.

Black/brown communities& LGBTQ+ man we are too powerful to still be attacking issues separate; ४/७/२३, ६:०६ AM
wendybar म्हणाले...: "“When she claims her ‘heart breaks for any young person,’ she helps explain why her husband’s tenure was the most racially divisive presidency in the last 30 years (at the end of his second term, people recorded more friction between races than at the beginning of the first).

“She might as well say openly that she means ‘any young person’ only if they’re black.

“What about the students who now think that if they work hard and study hard, they will actually have a fair chance at admission, thanks to this decision?"

Jersey Fled म्हणाले...: Yep. Pride flag still waving at my oh-so-woke neighbor's house this morning. Pride month + 4 days.

Well, not exctly waving. We had a downpour last night.

I was kind of thinking she might put up an American flag today just to cross me up.
