Harris Teeter has the best pizza on a price to size ratio. 

Western bbq slaw beats traditional mayonnaise based slaw.

Tesla’s are crap compared to the new EV’s coming from Europe.

Nuclear is the cleanest, most environmentally friendly technology available for reliable, economical base load generation.  Change my mind.

Probably. At one time we had horses so a lot was pasture type land...nothing that we'd want to hay, but still the horses kept it down. we also had a couple acres of that we replanted in loblolly pines (we had 25 acres of loblolly pines harvested and replanted a few years back) and i wanted to keep the new stands fairly clear of brush. i don't know why. but we also had people come over quite a bit and liked keeping everything looking not too overgrown in the several acres around the house. and if we let things get overgrown where it used to be pasture, we'd see an increase in mice and snakes too close to the house. had both of those come in from time to time (another benefit of not being out in the country is you don't have to hear your wife scream in the middle of the night because she found a snake in the bathroom while she was sitting on the toilet).

i used to like the privacy and space but the isolation got a bit much along with all of the expense in keeping it up and the expense in keeping up the equipment to keep it all up. long driveway = lots of gravel plus tractor to help deal with washout, etc. my kids were excited about being able to order pizza and have it delivered. simple pleasures.

Oh I get it. Believe me I do. 

I've been on both sizes of this. In the city, on 2 acres,  now neither city, nor acres.  At least I'm at the end if a dead end road. 

I think I'd like 10-20 acres. But a an acre has to.be my truck shop and parking.  And I would develop it all.  One definitely needs to have a passion for it. Not for everyone.

Anyone of them? lol

Got it.  In the history of nuclear generation, including all countries globally, how many have produced a fissionable event, such as the mushroom cloud image you posted previously?  I’ll give you a head start; it rhymes with ‘hero’.

Just setting the record straight.  Scarey image happens with nuclear weapons, not actual utility nuclear generation.  

I expected more push back on my claim of the superiority of Harris Teeter pizza.  Go figure.

Carry on.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
