  1. Yes, ask him if he likes melons. @mead107????
  2. To give you an idea as to the inspiration for this thread, @mead107 now stuffs his Stromboli with “sausage, wieners, melons, and ham/roast beef”. Don’t ask.
  3. Pretty simple. Go to Google and search “garage door opener rope handle” and see how Walmart, Lowe’s and 10 other retail outlets all advertise “ropes” to open a garage door. The point is, you are prolonging a very troubling news story that was an honest mistake.
  4. Give it a rest. No one is at fault here. Move on to Russia, Ulysses Grant, Teddy Roosevelt or some other punching bag. Let the friggin drivers race and stop being Geraldo Rivera of 2020 because this vault is, likewise, empty.
  5. I don’t process info as quick as you (obviously) but if you look at draft order from last year it’s clearly a problem Beane should have thought about. Why defer pick until Round 2 when it may come back to bite you the next year? He never even considered the possibility of this type of thing from happening. Call it growing pains if you want...the jury is out.
  6. You can’t have your cake and eat it too IMO. Beane skipped the first round last year. I just hope he understands the ramifications as he should have anticipated this type of thing from happening.
  7. I think he meant you can’t pull the wool over his eyes.
  8. I believe others suggested “They will use last year’s draft order”. Please tell me where we picked in the first round of last year’s draft? The answer is NADA.
  9. Oh great. So we lose another first round pick. If we use last year’s draft order, Minnesota gets our pick at 23 and we don’t pick until the second round. I’m not in favor of this at all.
  10. More like “Back to the Future” (Save the clocktower!! Save the clocktower!!)
  11. Are you referring to my "visitor"?? She has made several appearances outside my front door (which is glass) and she's wearing a mask. She thinks we can understand what she is saying as she stands there talking to my staff through a glass door with traffic passing in the background. #1) We can't read lips, and #2) it's twice as hard to read lips when she's wearing a mask.
  12. He was a hell of a basketball player. Look it up.
  13. You just disclosed three times more health info than the Zeke Elliot news. I am compiling my own “contact tracing” spreadsheet of people I can associate with...your wife and Zeke are on my list.
  14. We normally did the same unless: personal injury accident, aggravated over .15 or had a prior DWAI within 5 years.
  15. Common law DWI conviction depends on odor, speech, erratic driving, inability to exit vehicle, bloodshot eyes, failure to follow directions, horizontal gaze nystagmus, and failure of various tests (one leg stand, finger to nose, walk and turn, alphabet, etc.). With dash cam footage, it becomes easier for DA to prove the case. Many years ago, all the DA could rely on was the 710.30 notice of the officer's interview and the Bill of Particulars which detailed all the failures and defense attys could rip it apart. Video proof is much more damning.
  16. Yes, driving is a privilege, not a right. Some people refuse to take the test at the station because they already have a prior DWI conviction (not DWAI which is a violation). As I said, if you have a prior DWI within 10 years, most should not take the test at the station. Others think they should refuse the test at the station because they can beat the case at trial on the common law charge (failing field sobriety tests, odor, etc....maybe they have a bad knee, on medication, etc.) but if they refuse, they get hit with the suspension/revocation by the DMV. If it's your first time, most should take the test because then you qualify for a plea reduction to the violation DWAI and can attend DDP and get conditional use license.
  17. If a driver has a prior Misdemeanor DWI within 10 years they should absolutely refuse the breathalyzer (at the station). If they take the breath test at the station and fail it, it's a slam dunk Felony DWI for the prosecutor. Take the refusal suspension (which is an administrative penalty) as opposed to a criminal charge felony. Just pointing out, there is a difference between the "alcosensor test" at the time of the stop and the "breathalyzer" test at the station. The alcosensor test is a handheld device they use to determine the presence of ETOH in the system. The Breathalyzer test (at the station) is a highly calibrated, maintained computerized system that spits out a percentage ETOH reading. The alcosensor is not admissable to prove intoxication per se...it can be used in conjunction with other field sobriety tests to establish "common law DWI" whereas the breathalyzer test at the station can establish "DWI with blood alcohol over .08" (a separate charge under the NYSPL.) I haven't defended (or prosecuted) DWI cases in probably 5 years years or so. Things may have changed.
  18. In a perfect world, yes - absolutely right. But when you are trying to sell a house, appear on a motion, meet with a commercial lender or spot someone doing bench press, and you’re told “uh, no you can’t come in today because we have a positive Covid case” that kinda narrows it down doesn’t it? The public has a right to know what they are coming in contact with (whether it’s a sports figure or an investment banker). Zeke needs to understand this. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Privacy is trumped by fear of pandemic (death) and liability (duty to disclose). When that subsides, our health privacy will be restored.
  19. @mead107 Please tell us what day of the week it is, month and year. Please tell us what kind of sausage you like. When pitching a tent, do you use long stakes or short? Do you find it hard getting up in the morning? We need to know answers to these questions before answering any pole.
  20. It was my understanding that he was looking for “starter” money two years ago. If you compete for a job, you don’t get signed for starter money. Imagine if he was signed to a large contract and then cut after training camp? Hoping he signs with a team to a reasonable contract, competes for a job and contributes to a team’s success.
