Can't say I'm surprised, in his prime Tyson was a monster, but that was more than 30 years ago. Also, a lot of the guys Tyson fought and KO'd in the first round were bums. I must say, I thought Tyson looked to be in pretty good shape at the weigh-in for this fight.

With as many messages as Whatsapp is slinging, it makes sense to look for optimizations that can save a bit of memory, literally.
It's like no one hand codes assembly anymore, except for very rare instances. Like Apple's memory freeing routine is handcoded assembly, because they saved an instruction--and when you run that routine something like 20000 times a second, cutting one instruction out of a 6 line assembly program matters. Something like a general 15% speedup just by making that one change.

I have to say, that's one of the smallest model trains I've seen that could carry a person. I've seen much bigger model steam trains, with real seated passenger cars; the old Ocean View Amusement Park (in Norfolk) used to have such a train. I always loved riding in that as it went all over the amusement park. And that steam smell. You either love it or you hate it.

At least you made them fit. No local store nor Amazon had the Ford relay I wanted to buy so I went to the dealer. Parts guy brings out a new relay and by golly it was wrong. My relay is about an 8th of an inch smaller than All of the others and Mr. Ford doesn't have an answer.
Well, he said they did have my flasher element and I could pick it up tomorrow so, I paid for the order. Next day I go to pick it up and it's wrong. It's so wrong it has a sheath around the blades. I showed the guy mine before he ordered it. When I opened the box and said this is wrong, he said, ye ah, I know.
They were going to let me walk out of the store with the wrong part, knowing that it would not fit.

Walters's lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May,but was reinstated in December 2023 following an appeal to the California Courts of Appeal. The appellate court agreed that her lawsuit should be excluded from the statute of limitations because she claimed she had suppressed her memories

They had a lot of help from various leftwing sites. The people claiming Trump is going to put them in camps right now were often the people that figured out who Protester X was at the J6 protests and sent that information to the FBI and the employers of the protestors.

One of the odd things about modern hollywood is there are literally thousands of actresses that could play the role better then Rachel and cheaper too.
No one is going to watch their movie because it stars her instead of say Jane Smith from Cleveland. Though I guess $2M isn't a lot by Hollywood standards - Gadot is making $15M. She might draw some people to watch but...is even she worth that much...err...almost certainly not.

The Philthy Flyers and Big Bad Bruins era. Some epic games.
My favorite, and the Klingons would approve, was when Phlithy played an exibition against The Red Army team in '76. The game was so brutal, the Russians left the ice in the first period after a non-call on a Philthy player who leveled one of the Russian's best, laying him out on the ice. I'm not a Flyers fan, obviously, but that game they did us proud, beating the shit our of the Commies 4-1.

Aside from the heroics at Normandy and in the Scheldt estuary (a key but little known campaign), check out the valor of the Canadian navy in the Battle of the Atlantic. Escort duty and warfare against U-boats in small corvettes.
And I believe Canadian forces distinguished themselves in Afghanistan. Like most of the Anglosphere, Canada has a stellar modern military legacy, which now collides with .... whatever you call the sad, pathetic political course that has now unfolded.

Yeah, they were left-wing personally, but rarely in their comedy (they mostly saw absurdity all around them). And boy were they funny as hell.
They were called the Beatles of comedy, and like the Beatles, half of them are dead.
They were more surrealists than comedians but I really enjoy their stuff, and am always happy when more is unearthed.

Hell, if we were in China where life is cheap and there's a 100 million ready to oppress us for money, and fun, I would have been scared.
But, at $80,000 or whatever a body, cops leaving in droves here too, heavy handed oppression was one of my lesser worries.

Netflix‘s much hyped and much delayed live fight tonight between Mike Johnson and Jake Paul is taking some hits even before the former heavyweight champion and the YouTuber turned boxer have climbed in the ring.
From nearly the start of the undercard bouts from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TXm the streamer has been freezing, losing sound and proving slow to reload. While not crashing as Netflix did when Luke Cage launched on the streamer in October 2016, the audio on the feed cut out over and over and the quality of the image was reduced to smeared pixels repeatedly.

Just remembered a funny part of it, that night I had chatted pleasantly with some local girls at a nearby bar, and when they asked me which hotel I was using, they didn't believe me when I said I was staying that night inside the Citadel. So one of them walked with me through the frigid night when the bar closed.
We approached the sentry at the entrance to the military inner sanctum, I identified myself and he cleared me to enter, telling the young lady she could not come in. She was amazed, but sadly I left next day and was not able to, um, exploit the capital I had generated.

Nose rings are one of the most amusing pieces of jewelry. They are bright shining light of ignorance. Historically, you could trace nose rings back a couple centuries, but they were used on cattle to assure compliance. It's one of their most sensitive areas, and allowed the herder control of the more problematic cows.
So, we have subjugation, control by the patriarchy and cows all in the same historical reference, and women wear nose rings not understanding their original purpose.
Oh, and you can go back a few more centuries and see nose rings used to control slave factions over in Africa and what is now the Sudan.
So when I see a woman wearing a prominent nose ring I have to laugh. It's like wearing a Swastika or the Lightning bolt SS because it looks nifty.

Well, as you note the nose ring is a symbol of compliance.
The Black Sun or Lightning Bolt SS symbol? Of course what our allies in Ukraine wear. But the FNM assures me it means something different when they wear it.

IIRC from my long-ago yout', a lady finger was half a Black Cat. A black cat was half a cherry bomb, maybe. And a cherry bomb was half an M80. And an M80 was, what, a quarter sick of dynamite? Those proportions may just be wrong, but it was the lore of the July 4ths back when. Been a long, long time since I saw a cherry bomb, much less an M80.
M80s could be thrown in the swimming pool, the fuse wouldn't go out, and they'd make quite a geyser. They also did some significant damage to toilets at school, so my older brother told me....

So we go down to the game, Kyle Field as always is sold out, about 96,000 Aggies, and maybe 4,000 Baylor fans in a little stadium ghetto they put us in. We were supposed to be destroyed - and then that Baylor team came out and destroyed them, final was like 36-10 or something, our small section were cheering and dancing and laughing while 96,000 angry and disgusted Aggie fans watched us in stone cold silence while wanting to murder us all. Well we were too drunk to be as scared as we should have been, it was glorious!

That's my biggest beef with all of this crap in college football. It destroyed the natural rivalries. It's been slowly working that way for years but still. It sucks. I miss hating Pitt (as a wee Penn State fan). Those WVU/Pitt games were fun. They despised each other. Like the Hokies now so at least UV and VT still play each other every year but for how much longer. I expect the ACC with get PAC12'd at some point.

Technically not closing. They're merging with the University of Findlay. And apparently will still play sports separately.
Pending NCAA approval, after the merger is complete, Findlay would continue to participate in NCAA Division II as the Oilers, while Bluffton would continue competing in Division III as the Beavers. This is a model that other schools are following successfully.

==========
What gets Monty hit hard in the Monday morning QB sessions is the post facto revelation that the Scheldt was lightly defended at the time, and the Wehrmacht didn't seriously move to reinforce it until Market Garden revealed the strategic objective. Shoulda, woulda, coulda... Market Garden was really a case of wishful looking at a map and post-breakout optimism. And the operation still almost worked. Except for that word, "almost". The German Category B & C divisions proved to be capable of rapid and decisive movement to counter the airdrops. The SS Panzer units were just the ability for the Germans to quickly batter their way into Arnhem instead of having to pound the paratroops with towed artillery while maneuvering the mortars & MG 42s into place for the assault, thereby giving the British armored assault a few extra days of grace to arrive.

The primary source for most of the stories about Tombstone and Dodge City was Wyatt Earp himself, since he ended up living in L.A. til 1929 and even tutored a young John Wayne.
However, Wyatt Earp appears to have been quite a fabulist, spinning long heroic tales with he himself cast as the Hero, and it’s hard now to tell how much his stories have to do with the objective truth.

One laid out the info of Johnny Ringo's death as taken from witnesses, newspaper stories, and even those that knew him.
This magazine reeked of heavily researched and weighty scholarly data.
You could tell the people who were writing were suuuuuuper old west fans who wanted to be as factual as possible.
Thanks to said magazine I learned things I hadn't known before and came to the conclusion that anyone claiming Ringo didn't shoot himself is either ignorant of the truth or selling something.
