He does not need to clear waivers. "International Player Pathway Program FAQ: Wont cutting him to put him on the Practice Squad expose him to waivers? Through the IPPP we will not expose him to waivers and we will have him on our practice squad as the 11th man."

I collect rocks and minerals. Both purchased (eBay auctions, mineral shows) and by personally collecting them here on hikes in Colorado. If anyone shares this hobby and wants to trade, send me a PM. I have collected a lot of blue amazonite from the Pikes Peak region, rough purple and green fluorite, rose quartz and black tourmaline (schorl). And I also have a lot of purchased specimens of all kinds that sit piled in cardboard flats that I'd rather see enjoyed instead of gathering dust.

I don't have time to look up sources, but there is considerable evidence that shows that hand writing notes commits the information to memory a lot better than typing

But there are a lot of respected sources who say he never uttered nor wrote the words. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2001-10-28-0110260564-story.html

I'm still curious where this quote originated. I don't believe it was Yamamoto, and it wasn't even mentioned in At Dawn We Slept

Nope not this time. The National Earthquake Information Center is in my town.

this produced the largest earthquake in continental US history in 1812. bigger than any known in California, and reportedly felt 1200 miles away in Washington DC by President Madison and first lady Dolly Madison. it also shifted the course of the Mississippi, which resulted in gigantic geyser-like water columns.

I plan to visit some day, as I am a big Allman Brothers Band fan and this would be my 'pilgrimage'

I grew tired of the coconut milk based stuff, plus the saturated fat content is totally off the charts. Now Mr Kook's Chicken Curry sauce has become my favorite. It's in a jar so it's ready as fast as I can bake the chicken, and I've become addicted to its nice strong onion and ginger flavor. Served over Uncle Ben's 90-second microwave basmati rice, now that's a quick easy tasty weekday meal

Sal doesn't think he's eligible @SalSports The HOF might select 10 senior members in 2020 as part of their special Centennial Class. I've always felt that may be Steve Tasker's best chance to make it, via Senior route. Eligibility is having been retired 25 years. In 2020, Tasker will have been retired 24 years

Okay I just did, and it says it's a baseball park. So I need some clarification on your point

I still have not read a convincing argument that demonstrates how a football stadium that will sit idle for 300++ days per year will revitalize anything. Baseball stadium sure, Coors Field here turned what used to be skid-row into the hottest and most active part of downtown Denver. NO ONE considers the area around Invesco Field/Mile High a destination by any stretch of the imagination

Wonder why it says "near SSD performance" on the specs page then. Sounds like it smokes it.

I'm not familiar with Optane, but it sounds like it performs very much like a Solid State Drive (SSD). You really want this performance for Windows to keep things nice and snappy.

It Might Get Loud (2008) explores electric guitar through interviews with Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White Genghis Blues (1999) is more obscure but is a fascinating journey to the remote country of Tuva with blind bluesman Paul Pena

"Why don't you just tell me the name of the movie you've selected?"

You talk and you talk but you have no guramba!

I'm guessing they will keep it under wraps, but let me know if anyone finds out how much the band forked over to Antique Archaeology for the van

Not many beaches out here, at least for the last 66 million years or so

there's always this guy

not to go all police de grammaire, but it's "sous vide"

Interesting info fellas; from what I'm reading it looks like the hypothesis (not theory I think that word is misused, at least technically) is that there were comet or asteroid fragments that bombarded Earth around that time and set huge fires which actually extended the Ice Age due to the debris in the atmosphere blocking the sun. If proven true, it would certainly be a game-changer in terms of how human civilizations adapted to this catastrophe since it's really not all that long ago. I know the Toba supervolcano eruption about 75,000 years ago has long been suspected of decreasing the human population from millions to possibly only thousands and may explain the bottleneck in ancestral DNA that seems to be traced back to right around this time. We are certainly a much more fragile species than we might like to think.

I have never heard of this hypothesis but 12k years is a drop in the bucket in terms of geological time, so there would be a LOT of visible evidence still remaining at the impact site. But events of this type are massive and define geological time periods, ie. the K-T boundary about 65 million years ago (Chicxulub crater) so I find at least this part of their idea to be incredible.

this reminds me: don't live by the golden rule because it's bullsh1t

does it absolutely positively have to be an even number? a 17 game regular season (dropping 1 preseason game to 3 games which it essentially is now anyway) seems like a reasonable compromise. and it would not necessitate adjusting the current nfl scheduling much since preseason week 4 would become regular season week 1.
