interesting that now Harris campaign is trying to bait him into turning off the mic mute at the debate -- (link) - mr mooch Aug 26, 06:41 17
- a hot mic would be a mistake. He's only going to talk over her and get in his quips and his people will applaud him for doing it -- nm - Epiphany Aug 26, 06:53 16
  - Maybe the calculation they are making here is that they know he will do exactly this, but since she is a woman, itll be received differently (and - Jovian Aug 26, 07:49 2
    - Like Hillary? No. I have a feeling Harris can talk louder (and better) than him and knows *exactly* what she is doing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 08:27 1
      - Hillary was a special case though. - Jovian Aug 26, 08:31
  - Agreed, and backing out of the agreement makes them look petty and backpedalling on their word. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 26, 07:40 2
    - to your IM - agreed. Let's not start mis stepping now -- nm - Epiphany Aug 26, 07:51 1
      - Triple agreeance. The only correct statement is she will be showing up ready to debate under the previously agreed upon parameters. -- nm - Dano Aug 26, 08:10
  - i think they're okay with that. apparently they want her ability to fact check him in real time, not wait until he's spewed lies for two minutes - mr mooch Aug 26, 06:56 9
    - Its a mistake -- nm - Jovian Aug 26, 07:42 3
      - Objection! -- nm - Harris Aug 26, 08:05
      - Yup, and it allows Trump to change the rules if he wants to. -- nm - Inigo Aug 26, 08:00 1
        
        he needs it more than she does at this point, and they know the more batshit insane he looks on the stage the better for her -- (link*) - mr mooch Aug 26, 08:02
    - I see how they think it will work, it just won't work that way. He will lie, she will attempt to correct, he will talk over her facts and then - Epiphany Aug 26, 07:06 4
      - Correct, and his cult will eat it all up. And his sycophants all over radio and tv will call it a masterclass. -- nm - Jovian Aug 26, 07:43
      - I agree. He won't stop talking, ever. Anything she says will be drowned out. He can talk, then she can rebut, uninterrupted. Only way. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 07:08 2

Well, 6 cubic yards of soil/sand is going to land in my driveway on Friday afternoon. Consider that my weekend plans this week :) -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 06:14 14
- I need to do this, but with my knee, I think I need to pay someone to do it. Are you doing it by hand? Like a roller spreader or hand spreader? -- nm - sycor Aug 26, 09:29 1
  - Roller. I linked it in one of the comments below. First time so I have no idea if it is going to work - oblique Aug 26, 09:31
- What are you doing? -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:21 9
  - Putting a 1/4" of sand/soil mix on our entire yard (8000 sq. ft. in the backyard alone - smaller front + some low spots get extra). Then - oblique Aug 26, 06:26 8
    - Best of luck with the project and I hope you end up loving your new grass. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:29 7
      - If this doesn't work, I'm going to let the clover win. Figured it was worth a shot since I want to try to level out the worst parts of the yard - oblique Aug 26, 06:30 6
        
        Is the yard lumpy or uneven with slopes? Can't hurt to try and get the grass you want but I think the clovers look just fine. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:40 5
        
        I really like a clover/grass mix myself. Clover doesn’t grow much taller than grass, and stays greener in droughts. -- nm - mara Aug 26, 08:58 2
        
        I'm hoping that's what I end up with overall -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 09:02
        
        yup -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:00
        
        Yeah, it's like the surface of the moon -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 07:17 1

LYC - yesterday I got stung by a wasp on my hand. This happened because i was getting rid of a basil plant that attracts wasps like crazy, so no one - Andie Aug 26, 06:12 9

        They are closer to a pie, right? -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 08:41 2

The highest single season OPS by a player that didn't use steroids is 1.379 by Babe Ruth. Judge is at 1.200 today. MLB average is .714 - Krusty Aug 26, 04:30 12
- Prove to me that Ruth didn't use steroids! -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 04:36 11
  - I mean, who's to say he wasn't just chowing down on bull testicles? -- nm - mafic Aug 26, 06:04
  - They weren't invented until the 1930s and weren't used by athletes until the 1950s so it wasn't possible for him to use them at the time he was playing. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 26, 04:53 4

  - This isn't as absurd as you might think. - Inigo Aug 26, 04:41 4
    - It is because we're talking about steroids which wasn't a thing used by athletes until the 1950s. - Krusty Aug 26, 04:52 3
      - Ruth was rumored to have tried to inject himself with an extract from sheep testicles. - Inigo Aug 26, 07:49 1
