Does anyone here not have central AC?
transplantbillsfan replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I've never had any AC. Not central. Not split. Not window units. Wife and I are finally investing in a split AC system for our house after 14 years of living together in Hawai'i without it. -
Did you not read the OP where I laid our my criteria for what a catchable vs an uncatchable pass is? As I said in the OP, if the ball hit (or was able to hit) the WR in the hands as would be considered "mitts" as you allude to, it's catchable. If the WR is ONLY able to get his fingers, but no part of the hand/palm on the ball, it was unwatchable. Our WRs (and OL) blew chunks last year. Let's hope they've improved immensely this offseason.

Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
transplantbillsfan replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No, I don't support Socialism. But guess what, none of the candidates support Socialism. Hell, even though Bernie calls himself a "Democratic Socialist," even his system is based on a capitalist foundation and isn't pushing for solely a centrally planned economy with nationalized production. But regardless of Bernie not being an outright Socialist, I don't like how far left he is. Or Warren. It's why I'm glad I still really don't think either gets the nomination. But our country's presentation of health care as a privilege rather than a right needs to go away. I'm not a big fan of the single payer system, which is why I liked the candidates who talked about universal health care in other ways, like fixing the problems that are there and have been with Obamacare, which is what I think will ultimately happen in some form, no matter who is in office because the law is already there and there will be the House and Senate to contend with. But as much as socialism is demonized, we have plenty of socially supported programs and infrastructure and so on that you and I use and benefit from every day that to lay claim that we'd suddenly cross that line into socialism because of what will ultimately be one or maybe two major changes in our country is just ridiculous. I guess I'm curious myself: tell me @Deranged Rhino do you believe we should pay zero taxes? -

@Deranged Rhino brought up the 100+million deaths caused by Socialist/Communist--societies. Follow the bread crumbs. It's relevant. If you can't, goggle it -

You're all Republicans on here. Your party is really just the de facto Christian party. (Obviously this is the true irony based on the party's practice) A religion discussion is relevant in this instance considering you're claiming Communism and Socialism are responsible for over 100 million deaths. So I guess I would ask, to what degree are the ideologies themselves responsible for those deaths? Hell, communist/socialist ideology wasn't remotely connected to the Nazi regime's reason for slaughtering Jews. That was actually more of a religious reason than anything. -

Sheer numbers, sure, but not as far as percentage of the population. Religions have slaughtered a significantly higher percentage of population throughout history in accordance with their time periods. Besides, it's all religion of some sort, whether worshipping a God or green or flag or whatever, they all do the exact same thing, which is what ultimately results in bloodshed: Separate Us into Them. Seems things like the truth gets under your skin. -

Can't count him out. Biden's 8 year vice presidency under one of the most if not the most popular Democratic Presidents in history--not to mention our country's first Black President--keeps him very much in the game. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/democratic-debate-poll/ Who Won The First Democratic Debate? Biden does need to alter his approach a bit, but I really wouldn't be surprised if he gets the nomination even if he doesn't. Harris tightened the field a lot last night, but Biden is still the frontrunner. -

The number of deaths caused by communist/socialist--actually more like quasi communist/socialist--societies also pales in comparison to the deaths caused by (often directly in the name of) the major monotheistic religions that have prevailed throughout the world for the last couple millennia, with Christianity and Islam being the biggest culprits. Maybe we should all as a world revert to those polytheistic secular religions demonized (though ironically imitated) by Christianity and the other major monotheistic religions? After all, a fraction of the people died in the name of those secular religions in comparison. Learn your history. -

Okay, so I guess Christianity is also perverse, right? It's cost the world millions and millions of souls itself. -

I still think Biden has a great chance, but last night tightened the race. -

No. Talking about the food fight moment, obviously. Berni doesn't have a chance. I never thought he'd get the nomination, but last night solidified it for me. He had a pretty terrible night. I really don't want Warren, but I guess she still has a chance. Harris, Booker and Buttigueg have been among my handful of favorites for awhile along with Biden. I'd be happy with any of them and think all would beat Trump. Commie crap? Geez, some of you guys here really took Trump's push to bring us back to the 50s a little too seriously. -

If Harris is the Democratic candidate, I think she'll sweep the floor with Trump. She was extremely well prepared and had what I think was the impromptu inserted one-liner of the last 2 nights. My guess is still that Biden wins the candidacy, though, and as you say, she could very easily be VP, groomed to take over after one term. -

Sums it up well. Also, Gillibrand's constant blinking was super annoying. Was her mascara running or something? I was amazed she just kept speaking while blinking that fast. Guess she wanted the strobe light effect. -

According to @Foxx that will mean she won the debate. -

Whaaaaaaa????? Man, you guys are too funny. Harris won the debates. That's between both last night and tonight. Angry black woman???? yikes. I still think Biden ends up with the nomination, but Harris really really helped herself. Regardless, I think the stage tonight most likely had the Democratic nominee and next President of the USA. -

I don't know what Goggle is, but I just googled Marianne Williamson to figure out who the hell she is. I bet there will be a massive spike in Google searches for her after these debates. Google is pretty damn easy to use. Do you seriously think this is confirmation Tulsi, who is a relatively unknown and attractive (barring her blush issue last night) young woman, won the debate? Keep namecalling though... it's about all you're good at -

Yeah, no one can beat the unstoppable force that is Donald Trump. Tell ya what, do you want to make a friendly wager on that? You=Trump. Me=the field. Nothing too nuts, and this offer is solely for you, but name your terms so you can stake claim to this rather than making these concretely ridiculous statements on here like what you just said without any real investment in those claims. -

What exactly do you think you're proving? If it's that the far right is full of a bunch of Trolls, okay. Thanks for that. Are you claiming that article is false? Because you believe trolling is somehow beneath the far right? So if @Deranged Rhino was making a statement in response to mine that I didn't think Tulsi did that well by saying "the people disagreed" and this is your proof of the people disagreeing... well then, I think you've proven my point -

The people? What people? I've seen links here of how Gabbard won from right leaning or right off the deep end sources, but I doubt you could find a reputable poll or aggregate of polls claiming Tulsi won that debate. I'll be curious to see what FiveThirtyEight.com has after they've compiled and aggregated after debate #2 tonight. I don't think she really hurt herself, but she didn't help herself as strongly as I think Castro, Booker, and (to a lesser degree) Klobuchar did. But honestly, I don't think anyone from the 1st night is getting the nomination.
