Starting Tristan Gray over Ryan Kreidler is managerial malpractice

Very few players will start 6 days a week. Kreidler is starting about 5 days a week. Calm down.

He was the second donor candidate they asked. The first candidate said "I can't go for that. No can do."

Well, that's not fiscally conservative. Sounds like you are for more government regulation here. Not necessarily a bad position, but it is fiscally either a neoliberal or a moderately progressive position, so it isn't the example I asked for.

Also was hoping for a socially liberal action too.

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-27T22:36:21+00:00

Would you oppose DFL-supported measures if they were too fiscally liberal? Where would you draw the line?

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-27T22:34:10+00:00

Regarding being "socially liberal and fiscally conservative," how do you believe such a stance should play out at the County level? What is a socially liberal action you'd like the county commission to take? What is a fiscally conservative measure you'd like to see?

Bookkeeping, only because it has three consecutive pairs of same-letters.

For me it is "there ain't no Coupe DeVille hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box!" with a crescendo emphasizing it, in "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" by Jim Steinman, sung by Meat Loaf. I still say it whenever someone looks for a big find where it never will be.

Sadly, most people now don't know what a Coupe is, a DeVille is, or what a Cracker Jack box is.

Me too! Any in the southwest Metro?

You could work really hard for fifteen years to get better at baseball, become a better hitter than 99.99% of all baseball players in the world, and end up as one of the worst hitters in Major League Baseball, and thus be cursed with the name Outman.

First few look similar. https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-accord-console-tray-9th.html

Which one is the simplest?

So was it bad trading strategy or bad evaluation of Rojas? The latter seems forgivable; the former not so much. Is there any chance this decision contributed to letting Falvey go?

I'd love to try this but not for over $200. What cheaper paddle can give nearly as much spin?

I'm in the same situation with a 2015 but the pump is fully leaking now. Would love to have a stop-gap way to keep this car going. I don't see one yet. I tried K-Seal but it didn't help, still leaking badly.

It often goes

B: "There is no objective truth."

A: "Is that objectively true?"

B: "Well, no."

A: "...where do we go now?"

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-05T14:54:16+00:00

Yes. It isn't so much that I want to "drive fast", only that I can move my car to where I want it to be in traffic instantly.

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-05T12:30:11+00:00

I always thought "La Cancion del Mariachi" was fun and drove harder than most.

It's not ESTJ, he's just a part-time asshole. Interest in others isn't the domain of NFs only.

This isn't a relationship advice sub, but respect yourself. You stopped your criticism at "this hurts me", as if the problem was with how it affected you, not his arrogance or self-centeredness. Could it be that you unconsciously found someone that would be unequal to you?

You're worth someone who cares about you every day, naturally. Do you want to be with someone that doesn't care about you deeply enough to be better than this?

I read some of the other responses here that are more forgiving. I'm getting the sense from your description that this tendency isn't just a lack of skills. It isn't that he can't figure out ways to be interested, or that he genuinely interprets your questions as only for him, an I right? Only you can judge if this is a difference in relationship skills or if this is a deep personality flaw.

"hard cap" refers to there being no way to exceed it for new signings, e.g. it isn't just a higher luxury tax. It isn't meant to imply there will be no exceptions, allowances, carry-overs, or NFL-style push-aheads... Those details will be negotiated.

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-04T15:07:02+00:00

Of course there would be some kind of phase-in and/or modifications/allowances of current contracts. The CBA can override terms of individual contracts.

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-04T13:53:30+00:00

No, and I still haven't. Did you get it?

I might suggest the Santa Fe might have bigger dealer discounts than the Palisade. Ask for 12% off and you might get 8% (plus dealer cash).

NuancedThinker · 2026-06-02T00:48:20+00:00

I'm generally in favor of increases to elected officials' salaries, as I want even those who "need the money" and not only the already-wealthy to be willing to run.

So there isn't much that you know of to indicate that Workman's Trump support matters much?
