I didn't see a general hockey thread so I'm putting this here...

Especially because of the build up of "he's too old". Incredible speech. 11pm & he's still working on the floor...Impressive.

You fired us all up! - unknown guy on the floor to Biden

Dude I talked to who works for Dominion power said electrical engineers are making bank & jumping jobs due to demand.

Menses is 1-fer this spring. I'm not sure if that's how he normally starts but it's concerning.

Welcome to the XFL! The kicker would line up alone on his side of the field, probably around the same spot — the 35-yard line — as in the current NFL kickoff rule. The other members of the kicking team would line up far down the field, five yards apart from the blockers on the returning team. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/03/04/nfl-xfl-kickoff-proposal/

Not sure this is the best place for this so apologies in advance if it's not. This is a great story about a great Redskin player. He's still tied with the Redskin record for the most TD receptions in a season with 12. Jerry Smith should be in the HOF. I remember getting his picture & autograph (and 1 of Jim 'Yazoo' Smith) at Coleman cadillac one Saturday in the 1970s. Edit: Oops...must have been 1968 the year Smith was the 1st round draft pick and only played 1 year.

‘It will not come today’: Judge Kaplan smacks down Trump U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, presiding over E. Jean Carroll's successful $83.3 million lawsuit against Donald Trump, issued a cautionary rebuke on Monday to the ex-president who was demanding an immediate ruling on his request to delay payment to the journalist whose lawsuit made him a legally adjudicated rapist. It is Trump's third request, according to Law & Crime. Trump attorneys Alina Habba and John Sauer again requested Judge Kaplan delay the payment due date for 30 days, after alleging Carroll's attorneys "contradicted themselves in a recent court filing," as ABC News reports. Habba and Sauer are asking for the delay, or that Judge Kaplan allow Trump to post a reduced bond of just under $25 million. "Last month," ABC adds, "Kaplan declined Trump's initial request for a reduced bond or a delay, but asked for a reply from Carroll's lawyers. In a filing last week, her attorneys argued that the reasoning in Trump's request relief 'boils down to nothing more than 'trust me.''" Trump has until Thursday to post bond, a total of $91.63 million, so he can appeal. https://www.rawstory.com/it-will-not-come-today-judge-kaplan-smacks-down-trump-2667432012/

Hmmm...looks like SCOTUS forgot to delete the associated metadata... Article with further explanation... https://www.yahoo.com/news/supreme-court-forgot-scrub-metadata-215839364.html

I went to WellsFargo before we went to see the Skins in London. No, I don't think it's dumb.

Luckily, I've never had a relative with dementia, so I never had the need to learn about the symptoms, etc. Here's some info on 'paraphasia': "Paraphasias are erroneous attempts that relate to the target, but are inaccurate regarding the chosen speech units (phonemic paraphasias), or are real words that relate in meaning to the intended word (semantic paraphasias). For example, when shown a picture of a “pencil”, a phonemic paraphasia could be an utterance such as “wencil”, whereas a semantic paraphasia could be “pen”. Paraphasias offer a critical window into the mechanisms of speech production because they represent discrete deficits regarding (1) the spoken sound structure (phonemic) vs. (2) speech related knowledge association (semantic)." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-32457-4 Pretty clear the insurrectionist is experiencing 'phonemic paraphasia'. That groaning he did at the end of one of his rambling misspoken sentences the other day was a clear sign his brain is misfiring.

Interesting article with some interesting takes from some legal minds. I like the guys take on the 22nd amendment towards the end of the article. Here’s what SCOTUS just did — and did not do — in its Trump ruling: experts ... First, Trump stays on the 2024 ballot and any other current challenges to his ability to remain on other states ballots are likely, effectively dead. "It’s a win for Trump," notes former Obama acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal. "At the same time, remember that the Supreme Court’s decision today did not do what Donald Trump had asked: clear him of insurrection." That's critical. "The Colorado court found that he so was, and Trump had an entire section of his SCOTUS brief arguing he was peaceful on 1/6," Katal continues. "The Court didn’t do what he asked; it did not clear him. And the act’s decision leaves space for his criminal trial about Jan 6 to proceed, should the Court dispose of the other Trump immunity case quickly in the Spring (as it can and must)." https://www.rawstory.com/heres-what-scotus-just-did-and-did-not-do-in-its-unanimous-trump-ruling-experts-2667425332/
