    Shogun

    9 great episodes that lead to a big nothing burger of a 10th episode IMHO. The last episode was such a letdown that it tarnished the entire season for me. Not sure that I would recommend it after seeing the final.

    Well, hell. Now what? (Dog bit me) - Now Updated in Post #207

    Come on man. If you want to say that there is no guarantee that any dog won't bite, that's fine. But to suggest that a dog with a history of biting is no more likely to bite in the future than a dog without a history of biting is not reasonable. Past behavior, whether it is in humans or...

    Supreme Court waves off Kari Lake lawsuit over electronic voting

    I remember in the pre-Trump days when people around here would say, "OiT is crazy, but he's harmless. I'd like to have a beer with him." I think now most posters understand now just how harmful people like him are. Its hard to understate the damage being done by those who view evidence as...

    Who here drives the most expensive car?

    2012 Ford Fusion with 95k miles. Cars are just something neither my wife nor I are into. But with our daughter less than a year from getting her license, we have been thinking about upgrading to take advantage of the very nice safety features that have become standard on new cars.

    Even Clarkenomics Can’t Solve Sexism in Sports

    That's because it is a JV version of the men's game. You want true equality, get rid of the WNBA and let women compete on skill and ability with the men. How many would make the NBA? Zero.

    When trump is deafeated in

    A number of the family members that I have that support Trump (and for some f-ing reason I seem to have a lot of them) are already hedging their bets. I stopped counting the number of times I've heard, or read on social media, some version of, "I really don't like Donald Trump, but the...

    Check out this cat's hops

    My wife really had to grind me down before I agreed to get a cat, but I have to say that I love watching him. They are amazing athletes. He makes this one jump from a table to a window ledge that is about 3 feet over and 3 feet up, has to turn 90 degrees in mid air, and then stick a landing on...

    Everybody be gettin divorced

    Statistically, divorce rates bottomed out at the lowest in 40 years in 2022 and were only slightly up in 2023, so not sure why everyone thinks that this is about younger generations not being resilient. That is just another "get off my lawn" myth. As far as why the OP has three friends going...

    Neil deGrasse Tyson has jumped the shark.

    He's a really smart guy who brings science to the masses in a way that the masses can understand. In a time when there is clearly a war being waged by certain politicians against science, that's a valuable thing. I'm not sure what's not to like about him.

    Iowa's very own and overrated Zach Johnson--Meltdown

    This. No one has ever claimed he is Jack or Tiger, but only 82 men have won multiple majors. If you drew a one mile radius around me and picked any activity, you could probably find at least 82 people in that circle who are better at that thing than me.

    Do you agree with this map?

    Western border should be adjusted to include the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. The Southern half of Missouri should not be included.

    RIP in peace OJ

    You're right! This just totally jogged a part of the memory that I'd forgotten. They did put it in a small box in the corner of the screen!

    RIP in peace OJ

    Rockets-Knicks. MJ's first year of his first retirement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_NBA_Finals

    RIP in peace OJ

    I just remember being so pissed because I was a Houston Rockets fan and they interrupted the Rockets-Knicks NBA final game to switch over to the slow speed Bronco chase. They took an NBA finals game off the air to show it! That is crazy when you think about it.

    Elizabeth Warren for President

    The only person that would lose my vote for the Democrats. I could never vote for Trump, but I would vote third party. If the choices were Trump or Warren, I’d rather spend the Election Day getting a root canal than going to the polls.

    Hitler - A Brilliant Leader Who Just Went Too Far?

    Its not that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh, it was that it was both too harsh to prevent German hate and at the same time not harsh enough to prevent Germany from regaining the ability to act on the hate. Germany was neither pacified nor permanently weakened. Many of the contemporary...

    Kamala. WTF?

    It amazes me how many women get so upset about the disparity in interest between men’s and women’s sports, yet don’t give a damn about sports themselves. They all seem to think that it’s men’s job to care about women’s sports. Like, as a man, that’s not my job to care about women’s sports. You...

    POLL: Who's the A-Hole?

    I’m not sure how this is even a discussion. In a perfect world, that girl would have a brother that showed up five minutes later and beat the crap out of that little sh*t.

    For M.A.S.H. lovers

    The show transitioned from a comedy with dramatic elements to a drama with comedic elements over time. This is part of what made it great and how it lasted so long. Season 1 is just a completely different show than Season 11 and that evolution occurred slowly during the run. I think that...

    Bridge Collapse Baltimore

    Designing for safety should be a proactive pursuit, not a reactive one, whenever possible. I hardly want engineers waiting around for accidents to happen before they design to prevent the accident. It seems reasonably foreseeable to me that either through negligence or bad luck, there is a...
