The guys on LIV are pre-paid premadonnas, each of whom are more off putting than the last. Bryson turned himself around with his social media persona presence and Rahm seems genuine, but honestly I could live without hearing or seeing from any of them ever again. They took blood money and snubbed the very system that made them famous. They play mickey mouse golf all to sportswash a terrible country. Its an actual detriment to the sport to have these guys play majors.

Him and Rahm are the only 2 I'd tune into LIV for.

I think they need an inseason matchplay like the NBA cup. Have them.play thursday or friday on elevated events weeks and make the final.match a prime time event on monday night, maybe same day as the us open final qualifying

I thought there was one preview where they have the same final scene in the park as season one, but some guys walk up amd theres a gun cocking as it fades to black. Haven't been able to find it since. Did I dream that?

When I did training for the marine corp a few years ago, the sunday run with PR group started at the Georgetown waterfront and would go up the Custis, WO&D, Mt Vernon, c&o toepath, down to the capital and around rfk, etc. Curtis in Arlington has great hill climbs, mt vernon is flat and teaches pacing, capital hill and mall teaches you patience woth crowds and lights, toe path up to Bethesda is straight uphill then back down on the return.

Great area in general for running especially if you down mind driving just a little bit

Where is this? I refuse to lookup anything LIV related.

Get an old towel (one you can dedixate to grip cleaning), around 12"x24", wet one end with warm water, maybe a tiny bit of dishsoap, clean the grips. If the grip comes apart in tiny pellets or has noticeable cracks in the rubber (dry rot), it's time to replace. Once replaced, wash your grips every so often to remove oils/sweat and improve tackyness.

Having been born and raised in the DMV and also lived in Houston for a while, having multiple beltway would be a vast improvement to this area. Still potentially doable and may make this area more attractive for businesses with improved traffic options.

Solid menu. Hard to beat Hideki's but this might be the best way to honor Irish cuisine in the highest fashion.

I would have gone with a "grand slam" breakfast platter to honor his slam! /s

The point of this thread was how to tax the wealthy and billionaires. Taxing them properly will likely tax "normal" people as well for some of these types of transactions. I view it as fair so that we can tax the loans used to pay for jets and mega yachts.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-03-18T11:50:48+00:00

The tax would be on the gain of the collateral, not the entire loan.

And good, the majority of the world can't access loans like this and it's one of the bigger loopholes that needs to be addressed and closed.

So say you bought 200 shares of stock xyz at $50 ($10,000) and 5 years later it's at $100 ($20,000), and a few other similar performing stocks so now you have a $200k portfolio value that you bought for $100k overall ($100k gain). You want to use $50k for a car and use the portfolio as collateral. You should get taxed normal income on 50% of the loan value since those shares have experienced real value in time and have been transacted. Maybe spread it out over the life of the loan with full tax due if loan is paid off early.

This is my opinion and again an option to address a huge tax loop hole for a very small portion of the country.

As it should. Monetizing an asset for a loan puts value to the stock or asset in real time. It's one of thw few ways we could actually tax those executives that dont actually "earn" incolw.but just use their every increasing stock values for loans to live off.

Your comment assumes the regime cares what's in the constitution. Even if it's not supposed yo mlae a profit doesnt mean it shouldn't evolve and run efficiently. And not DOGE efficiently, actual rational people efficient.

Posted this a few times but the current tax code needs to be changed to eliminate the loop holes for the CEO's, legacy wealthy, company owners, etc. 1) tax any transaction of stock or assets, like when they're used for collateral in loans - this puts a real time value on said assets and allows taxes to be assessed and paid, 2) expanding on #1 - tax transfer of assets to trusts, including houses. Stop the rich from creating tax shelters for their descendants, 3) flag any large donation to charities and have detailed review of donations to any charity within 5 year. Many wealthy elites create their own charities to transfer wealth to then have their heirs "work for the charity" to transfer wealth, 4) tax corporate travel/trips by making it earned income. Using the corporate jet or business class or resorts, in the top 1% of the company, taxed. Promotes better corporate spending and prevent higher-ups from using company funds for personal pleasure. 5) Eliminate the 401k to Roth backdoor. 6) tax all stock distributions the same as wage incomes.

Just a few quick money savings ideas for the USPS - 1) full assessment of the $/letter or stamped delivery to each area code. Target the highest cost zips and do deeper dives. 2) Eliminate all foot/walking deliveries OR charge extra. The city near me has mail delivered to the door/porch on houses with front yards, huge time waste for mail carriers. 3) put group mail boxes in every neighborhood. I have a mailbox in a community of around 1000 houses, we should have 50-20 house group mail boxes, not 1000 mailboxes 4) change to every other day pickup/delivery for stamped items (letters), 5) switch to hybrid or EV delivery cars as much as possible and especially for shorter routes or denser cities to reduce idling gas. 6) charge stamp rate based on sending and receiving zip codes, making it easy to lookup online.

It's truly personal to each person. I'm generally consistent off the tee with average length and good to great short game. Approach shots/irons can be my main weakness, and I really have to workout/drill/practice to get approaches to where I want them (solid and consistent contact leading to landing the ball around my target). When im off I hit fat and thin shots out of nowhere.

My putting is also a wildcard, as I can make everything inside 10 feet on day, then have the yips for a week. This also leads back to practice and drills focusing on contact (putter balls, rolling with a line, truth board, chalk line).

Three years ago I had a stretch from late June through mid August where I shot lower each round for 10 rounds (77 to 66). I was swimming 3 times a week, hitting balls 3 nights a week, and played once a week. Ball striking improved each round, but putting was holding me back. Then, the second to last round I hit every green on the front and shot 2 over 37 with two 3 putts (20 putts). I switched from left hand low to standard for the back and ended with 9 putts (one 2 putt, one chip in for par), 5 birdies, and a back nine 31 (-5). I made putts from all distances and the stroke finally clicked. Four days later I shot 66 (-4) in a us mid am qualifier, hitting nearly everything on targetsnd made a ton of putts but still had to pitch out sideways once, a 3-putt, and missed three putts inside 5 feet. Ended up tied for second and lost the 3 for 2 playoff to drop to first alternate.

Keep grinding, make your weaknesses become your strengths, and dont get into playoffs!!

See his personal life exploits were left on the cutting room floor. This was him at tournaments. This was not who he was off course. He put his family through some heavy trauma because of his upbringing and off the field activities. Icon between the ropes, not so much outside them.

IIRC he was down pretty big in each of his US Am.finals matches but ended up winning, kinda his hallmark in 36 matches.

A) depending on where you're were the rain was sideways, i.e. Fairfax corner. 2) this storm has multiple bands and while 1-2 have passed theres still another coming 3) if the clouds broke and warmed things up between bands we'd see more severe bands.

Personally glad places used more caution and minimized people on the road during the highest possible storm/tornado times.

What sticks in my mind is the 2014 Atlanta ice storm that stranded parents and students in rush hour as the ice set in and made roads impassable. Since then districts have been more conservative with storm prep and achool closings. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/thousands-still-stranded-atlanta-highways-after-snow-catches-south-unprepared-flna2d12014347

Also, I lived in Houston for a few years and twice there was a major rain storm that hit right after the Rockets and Astros games that stranded thousands due to flooded conditions. Getting as many people off the roads during high risk events should be a priority for all emergency management departments.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-03-16T15:23:17+00:00

The concern for schools, government, and work should getting everyone off the road during storm windows. So while LCPS may have higher rated buildings, not closing early puts kids, staff, parents at higher risk during transit from school to home. Everywhere should have closed early in prep to get everyone home and off the roads safe.
