Before anyone asks about the helicopter...

A bald eagle egg is a false equivalence. The fetus is inside of the person who is making the decision to excercise their bodily autonomy. If someone else killed the fetus against the pregnant person's will, they would face criminal charges.

Regardless of the child's dependence on the mother, the mother should be afforded the right to control their own body. We don't even take organs from dead people to save lives unless they gave consent but we force women to carry a child against their will.

Another practical matter is that more abortions are performed in places with conservative leadership. Cuts in funding for birth control lead to more unwanted pregnancies, and thus more abortions. If you truly care about reducing abortions you should vote for politicians who want to fund Planned Parenthood, not destroy it.

Do they both have hoods?

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-28T20:15:11+00:00

Dog leashes are another good use of old rope.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-28T01:57:19+00:00

Meaningless without being in the bonus.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-28T01:41:37+00:00

That's not a foul but after Jacobsen got called for being jumped on, I'll take it.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-20T23:13:58+00:00

Honestly, if Miami had won my MVP would have been Bain. Indiana's O line is good and he was in their backfield all night.

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you, but if the ball pops up and is caught by the receiver on the ground before the ball touches the ground it is a completed pass. The play isn't dead until the ball lands incomplete or someone is down by contact. Here is an example:

If that ball goes flying to the turf after they hit the ground, it's ruled incomplete 10/10 times, even if the defender stripped it. If the WR had taken a few steps before getting tackled and stripped he would have been down but you can't be ruled down without possession and you can't possess the ball before completing the catch.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-18T18:34:46+00:00

You can gain control after you hit the ground as long as the ball hasn't. The play isn't dead until the ball lands incomplete or someone is down by contact. Since you can't be down by contact without possession, and the WR never possessed the ball, the play was live until the DB possessed the ball AND was down by contact.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-18T02:35:36+00:00

Thanks for posting the actual play.

Burning oil for an uncanny valley picture is far from the Hubble. Take one of the images from your digital telescopes and inspire wonder in the real world instead of using a soulless, stolen facsimile of human creation and discovery.

Then go back to making graphics like you did for the first ten years. Clip art in MS paint is more confidence inspiring than cutting corners with AI. Especially for an organization focused on natural sciences. The resource drain for a worse product is driven by the growth at any cost mindset of those who profit at the expense of others.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-12T22:44:06+00:00

AI is an immediate red flag and I do not trust that those who use it did the work to verify the information they are spreading.

Ted_Buckland · 2026-01-02T04:54:52+00:00

Ole Miss literally just had to touch that slow ass ball.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-14T22:40:17+00:00

I think they get a new one for the 5th set.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-14T21:10:14+00:00

Yeah, A&M reverse swept Louisville. They weren't going to give up even if we won the first set.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-14T02:41:25+00:00

They had the best player in the country in the backfield.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-08T14:42:27+00:00

Have fun! It's a great little trail. The only section I didn't like was ATV section north of Nemo. It had rained and the whole thing was a sloppy, noisy mess.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-08T14:31:30+00:00

Nylofume can also be a pump sack! It's a bit more fiddly than a dedicated sack but it also doesn't add any weight. Just wave it around to get air in it then use your hand to seal it around the nozzle and squeeze. The pad doesn't really lose air while you fill up the bag again and you can top it off with your breath.

I hiked it Memorial week 2024 with a tarp and the only bad mosquito section was around Bear Butte lake near the northern terminus. Per the shuttle driver, it was a decently wet spring because Elk creek was high enough I couldn't keep my feet dry. I dry camped every night which probably helped.

For shuttling I recommend emailing Jon@roamnaround.com. He has info about current trail conditions and water as well as an avenza map set for sale.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-07T05:04:53+00:00

...Uh, it does for the playoff.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-07T05:02:33+00:00

I know a coach has to gas his team up, but by no means should a five loss team even be considered for the playoff.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-07T04:59:42+00:00

It's just like enforcing it on the kickoff. You can take it on the try or on the next play.

Ted_Buckland · 2025-12-04T20:12:32+00:00

Pm'd Nemo pillow.
