Well, there's no corresponding steak sauce for McMahon to mess it up now.

Having the severe dishonor of being "served" by Schmitt (and I use that term very loosely), regarding being a dirtbag: Takes one to know one. Schmitt, Hawley, Alford, Kehoe, and Hoskins... all cut from the same cloth.

You do not. Especially the last few minutes.

While I appreciate the look of solidarity, this just leaves outlets like Newsmax in the room. This is exactly what Trump wants. We'll see what happens with the lawsuit, but this is not a win for our press or our republic.

I don't normally share fundraisers on socials, but my son is a freshman here at UCM and their band program is in a growth period during rough economic times. These kids work HARD in MO Heat. If you can give, it's appreciated. If not, totally OK. Here's what they do. 35-40 sec mark: big guy on the 37

As an instructional designer in the midst of Title II discussions with our faculty, I appreciate your post! The struggle is real!

Our grad programs are only master's and specialist programs, but the area where I taught would assess whether the student needed the course to graduate that term. My course got as low as 7 while still allowing me to teach (as an adjunct).

You haven’t the foggiest idea who I am, but know that I am one who understands the love of a pet. My deepest condolences to you. Our pets are family, and it’s such a hard loss. You remain in my thoughts, in the sticks outside of Kansas City.

Well, he was up late watching the fights last night. My son is light that after late-night Zelda sessions... but not quite as bitchy.

In many cases, it's not about profit but about control of the message. Marshall McLuhan had it pegged long ago. The medium is the message. Concentrate ownership, silence dissent, and create a centralized viewpoint. Maybe lose a little shareholder value, but hold all the power.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

I'm no music expert, but Sonny's work has always spoken directly to my soul. The tone, the phrasing... Can always pick him out of a crowd. Phenomenal talent, and incredible human.

We also use pork for tacos and spaghetti. My wife also makes a mean pork burger and mixes the meat with stuffing mix, and occasionally sneaks in some spinach (much to the chagrin of our boys!)

This is nuts. Just saw an article that it impacts 9,000 schools. With this data in the wrong hands, phishing attempts are going to be even more difficult to identify. i.e. "Please resubmit quiz #2, on which you received an F. Click here."

Our oldest was in the NICU in 2008, before the vaccine. When he contracted RSV at around 6 months old, it was absolutely horrifying.

hmm.. I can go to M1 Finance or myriad other sites and open a low cost IRA and not have that idiot's name on it. That's a hard pass, Donnie.

It was a constant struggle, dependent on budgets, dueling egos, and keeping the focus on student learning.

Did this in my previous position. It depended on the requestor, but we shoot for: 1) Accessibility for all OS/Platforms, 2) Ease of use, 3) Ensure proper training 4) TRY to make the experience the same across campus, 5) Don't buy tech for tech's sake.

I live in one of the Missouri counties that had a property tax freeze on the ballot. We definitely aren’t a big county. We had 10% voter turnout and in the unofficial tally the measure went down by 29 votes. Every single vote matters, friends!

I'm no math wizard, but if the 9 passes had all voted yes, that equals a vote of 46-45. "Who? ME? I didn't vote for it! Nor did I vote against it!"

I apologize for trolling the final comment slide. I submitted my comment, and it simply went back to the same question. I'm just padding the results.
