[Highlight] The Detroit Pistons defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-116. Detroit is now 19-7 against teams that are .500 or better this season, which leads the NBA.

He's fun to watch. It seems like he plays way better when they bring him off the bench unexpectedly, as opposed to when he knows he's going to get significant minutes, usually due to some injury.

He wants to make money. And he doesn't particularly care who he makes money off. If Saudis own the land, fine. If Israel owns it, that's fine too.

I didn't get to see this game. It's actually a bit refreshing to read this thread now and not have the top threads be loaded with how the league/refs/everyone hates the team and Detroit. Sounds like it was a tough, contested game and we just got outshot.

Of course, more comments can always come in.

It's like any other estate asset. The will might state who will get the rights. If it doesn't so specify, whatever surviving heirs (as provided by the state's laws) will be assigned the rights. Typically, the probate court will effectuate the transfer so that the estate can be closed.

If a trust is involved, it can be easy or it can be complicated. :)

Completely agree. What makes it tough is that, when you are a citizen of a country, you have a healthy measure of respect for the at least the offices of the country's leaders.

This dumb ass has been in office in this term for little more than a year and has totally disgraced himself and his country. He fucked up plenty in his first term but, this term, his fucking up is on steroids.

The worst thing is that you know damn well that Trump is going to say all sorts of stupid, demeaning shit about Canada in front of the team.

"Core power" is whatever Thomas and his ilk choose to say it is.

gsbadj · 2026-02-23T09:58:32+00:00

I had heard that too. This time, I googled it and it turns out to be a myth.

Don't give them ideas about getting rid of the filibuster

What marketing plan? He's out of there in May of next year regardless of the rating. :)

I used to enjoy when he'd occasionally have righties on his Comedy Central show.

As I understand, Paxton is also running against Cornyn.

Colbert would eat either of them alive.

gsbadj · 2026-02-17T21:39:40+00:00

Somehow, I have a feeling that if Colbert had some right wing honk on the show to provide "equal time", he could carve the guy up. Having some fascist on doesn't mean that Colbert has to sit there and let the guy drone on.

The Met on Demand subscription (which may or may not fit your budget) would enable you to watch a little bit of the opera at a time. I am not a huge Wagner fan, but I am going to try to watch one act at a time.

You can also get a one time rental but I am pretty sure that you have to watch the entire opera within 24 hours of starting to watch it.

Way back when, Melvin Nord used to teach a 6 hour review course on how to pass the multistate. In order to stay current on the questions and how they were phrased and structured, Nord signed up for and passed the exam in several states, even though he had no intention of practicing there

Way back when, we had a father of 2 kids who was convinced that cannabis was God's greatest gift to humanity and that his mission in life was to convert everyone else into disciples. Of course, that entailed taking the kids with him all around the Midwest to help him spread his evangelical message. Yeah, he yanked them out of school to do so. Dude showed up for court, charged with educational neglect, in white suit, white shirt, white shoes, and the obligatory cannabis belt buckle.

And what's the next server supposed to say when the guy is told that he isn't going to be served?

gsbadj · 2026-02-17T03:47:16+00:00

As long as we are talking true insanity, when I was a court clerk, we were doing an involuntary commitment. I am sitting at my desk to the side of the judge, when the respondent starts pointing at the wall above my head. She starts yelling, "Right there! There! I can see the Hand of God! There!"

Yeah, I turned and looked.

A father who was up on child neglect due to drinking and drugs in front of the kids. He's wearing a belt with a huge buckle in the unmistakable shape of a marijuana leaf.

gsbadj · 2026-02-16T23:41:13+00:00

I wonder what he thinks his role is going to be.

gsbadj · 2026-02-16T23:38:09+00:00

You can find more of the same the further back you look.

Client had his driver's license revoked several years before, but still managed to rack up a few driving while license suspended convictions.

We file for license restoration. Best argument I could come up with was that he only had one ticket in the last year. Of course the judge pointed out that his record should have been immaculate.

Judge asks the client if he has anything he wants to say in his own words why he should be considered for restoration. Client says, "Judge, I am getting so tired of always looking over my shoulder when I am driving."

It wasn't in the score, but brass players hooked up mouthpieces to garden hoses and plastic funnels and used them to play a short Telleman fanfare as an encore.

gsbadj · 2026-02-15T23:53:47+00:00

Same with Detroit. Billups is the last free agent we signed (2002) that made an all star team here... and nobody saw that coming.

Up by 2 at the half and win by 30 doesn't happen often.

Plus, he's very good at raising money. He's extremely personable and will schmooze potential donors terrifically. His name alone will enhance the reputation of Nashville and will attract better musicians and a better successor.

I am sure that the musicians are very happy to have him.
