      - just like racial profiling, salmon speices have different head shapes, body characteristics, color diff. also farm fish should have a fin notched - zeitgeist Aug 27, 12:17

  - In the almost 4 years I've been here, I've certainly been through a couple. This is new territory for life long residents. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 09:54

Sec. of State Tillerson: "the president speaks for himself" ..okay -- (link) - mud Aug 27, 08:35 3
- I find it hard to believe he meant "the President doesn't speak on behalf of the nation." I assume he meant "I'm not going to get into discrepancies" - Max Aug 27, 08:41 1
  - Kind of sounds like he did, right? What a shit show in D.C. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 27, 08:42

        Ahh. I'm happy with 7, no problems for me. Nothing in 10 made me want to switch to it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:19 3

A referee is supposed to stop a fight whenever a fighter cannot intelligently defend themselves, be it on their feet or on the ground - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 27, 05:57 6
- Yup. He was taking punches but wasn't offering any resistance. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 07:28
- Thus a boxing match versus a UFC fight. -- nm - budice Aug 27, 05:58 4
  - I don't know what you mean. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 27, 06:06 3
    - Just my feeling, UFC fights offers more rope given for fighters to get out of situations. Boxing as they say is a sweet science, formalism. -- nm - budice Aug 27, 06:16 2
      - The job is the same. That rope if it exists, just means those refs are worse. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 27, 06:33
      - Thus referees involvement more into keeping it a straight up fight versus an all-out brawl. -- nm - budice Aug 27, 06:18
