grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Sorry - where does the article say that investigators were prepared to move against her? By my reading, what it says is that if they had been allowed to continue their investigation, they might have found corroborating evidence though they hadn't found much yet. 120
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If the second team scores right before the end of the OT period, you may want to kick and take the tie. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I recently replaced a bedroom window AC unit that I thought was still doing ok with a new one with the same listed BTUs. It took me from being sweaty at night to having to raise the temperature because I was too cold. 140
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Btw - I would agree that this is the kind of joke he likes to tell says a lot about him. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Yeah - that's true in so many cases - invading Greenland, etc. - but this clearly isn't one of them, and it's not helpful to pretend it is. Did you watch the clip? 210
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 22/08/2026For God's sake, as despicable as he is, this was clearly a joke. Commentators claiming it wasn't are just distracting from the million and one things it's fair to criticize him about. 100
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 08/08/2026They also came one awful call (the none-pass-interference against the Rams in the NFC championship) from another Superbowl and had seven division titles. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 08/08/2026But Steiner got it from Vin Scully. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 08/08/2026How shallow do you have to be to misread Bourdain and his appeal this badly? The Gospel According to Anthony Bourdain www.nytimes.com/2026/08/07/m...nytimes.comThe Gospel According to Anthony BourdainFans of the late writer and chef are cultlike in their devotion. But have they misunderstood his message? 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Patrick O'Brien has Captain Jack Aubrey express the same opinion in the Aubrey/Maturin books. 030
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Would be cruel to tell you (1) it's a crazily unseasonably comfortable day in New Orleans and (2) in front of the main Satchmo Feat stage there is a critical mass of preschoolers resting up from the last brass band and waiting for Kermit Ruffins to come out so they can dance again. 130
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Guy Clark had it right in his song: "Only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes." Explains a lot about Musk. 030
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Kennedy's game is hiding his corrupt fascist takes behind exaggerated cornpone takes. That said, the imported seafood issue is Louisiana's political third rail. There's a law that got widespread bipartisan support, that any place that sells imported seafood has to prominently inform their customers. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Old enough to remember paying five bucks to get into the bleachers at the old Yankee Stadium (and then spending many multiples of that on beer). 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Google him, you'll find he also had the time to submit a comment to the Salt Lake City Council, explaining that he wouldn't vacation there due to a SLC proposal regarding the pride flag. Also expressed his dislike of purple hair, nose rings, and clowns in that comment. Seems like a lovely fellow. 6961
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Trying to think - Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Douglas, Lodge, Russell, Johnson, Thurmond, Byrd are the ones that I immediately come up with, not counting senators who are remembered for what they did in other offices. Not, by and large, a roll of honor. 020

grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 12/07/2026An immature bit of me would have loved to see Kike messing with Trump and Trump being clueless he was being messed with. Seems like the kind of talent Kike has. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Years ago (1996 or 1997), I was a law journal editor working on an article Barnett had in theory coauthored on gun rights. When I called him up to talk about what seemed to be blatant misrepresentations of cited materials, it was soon apparent that he was unfamiliar with much of the article. 0100
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I am rewatching Robert Altman's Nashville for the Fourth. Haven Hamilton(?), the fairly reactionary country star, is always dressed in white - a local news reporter even points it out as part of his identity. Given the setting and themes of the movie, seems like an intentional counterpoint to Cash. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Got to disagree (not about Roethlisberger being a MF, but about Brees). Brees was remarkable for doing whatever the situation and his surrounding talent required. Year-to-year, even game to-game, he would go from being a down-field gambler to a dink-and-dunk point guard and always be near perfect. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 01/07/2026However, if December 31, 2025 is the effective date of the disclosure, the rate listed is the same as that date's interbank rate (SOFR), suggesting Trump isn't paying points which would be a gift (or suggesting someone messed up the disclosure and forgot to add the points when filling in the form). 030
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 01/07/2026It's been a long time since I worked on this kind of stuff, but if this is a rotating line of credit, the interest rate would float and be, at any time the overnight rate that banks charge each other plus a certain number of points. Much less generally than the ten year Treasury rate. 140
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I would vote for almost every Democrat over almost every Republican, particularly at the legislative level, but to say that means you don't give a fuck about ideology seems wrong. Surely you would support people you think are going to do good over people you think are going to do harm. 100
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Not just a Reagan quote but a quote from his 1980 States Rights speech at Philadelphia, MS which was a pretty open signal to certain Southern whites that Reagan was also anti-civil-rights. Interesting choice. 080
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Even if you believe him - he is saying the caulk was cut (which seems as likely to happen during installation as through sabotage), not the lining. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I believe it means that - unless and until the Supreme Court issues.another ruling - it is illegal to mail them. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 12/05/2026All that's fine and it's quite possible their projections are bs. Still, your original statement is wrong. Their assumptions have nothing to do with the difference between the 84.5 and 2.3 figures. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 12/05/2026But that's not what these statements say. The second one is just operating income, while the first includes investment income. The reference to assumptions is to explain why they initially projected an operating deficit. Those assumptions have nothing to do with the final income statements. 100
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Not to mention that a naval blockade, even if it doesn't result in firing on a vessel, is by definition an act of war. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 23/04/2026To be fair, the article says the active time after you already have your meat and vegetable scraps is three minutes (which is ambitious), but that you leave the stock cooking on low for a day or two. 000
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I know, and I was being all BlueSky abnoxious. Sorry, just spent a little too much time lately with fairly wealthy folks criticizing how paycheck to paycheck folks choose to spend their money (which obviously isn't what you intended to do). My issue, not yours. 110
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 19/04/2026The law firm running ads on the New Orleans area MLB audio feed is husband,wife, and daughter. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The article does state that it is 10 times the estimated number of undocumented immigrants and more than 25% of the total US population. 080
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 22/03/2026And if you listen to the interview, Tillis says it was clear to him that no one should have said she was qualified to run Homeland Security. Raises the question of why he voted to confirm her. 040
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Your larger point is obviously valid, but, according to the transcript, after this the judge gave Coyne a chance to voluntarily leave, and Coyne did. There was no forcible removal. 010
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I was a new associate at Cravath a few years after he left as a partner. Among associates, what he was best known for, was that, when the firm recycled his phone number a year or two after he left, the lawyer who got the number was bombarded with calls from collection agencies. 0112
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Btw, I already feel dirty engaging with you. I'm done. 100
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 14/03/2026You literally admitted in this very thread that your claim was false. Look,. you're right I know nothing about you other than that you're going to remarkable lengths to avoid answering a simple question. 260
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 14/03/2026This is insane - you made false claims, when it was pointed out they were false, you said close enough (which they clearly weren't), and now you're engaging in random aggressive language, rather than addressing what is, like it or not, a relevant question. 150
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Sorry - I'm just a random guy who posts maybe every month or two, but, given recent reports about social media posters being paid to attack Abughazaleh, can you confirm you've neither received nor expect to receive payments to make posts. Only circumstantial reasons to think you might have. 230
grouchosduck.bsky.social @grouchosduck.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Curious, how close Shough is to being on this list. 000
