Is this someone who doesn't understand what happens on a golf course?

1965 clocking in. I want slippers and some soup.

The rules are silent on touching the stone. They are clear about not touching the handle. I don't disagree with you, but the granite is not the handle.

Somebody saw the jackass movie.

Of course not. They have to get dressed to compete at their other sport at some point.

Best souvenir going. But also a lot of young people in peak physical condition. As someone I know commented "everyone is 10/10 from the neck down."

The goal is to terrorize the democratic base. Everything else is a lie.

I am and it loaded.

We might have invented baseball too.

But we feel that way about curling, which we want to own, but was definitely invented in Scotland.

In the old days almost everyone skated to classical music which was almost always in the public domain.

A few years ago the rules shifted to allow skating to music with lyrics, which opened the door to contemporary tunes.

That change has come with a host of issues including broadcast rights if the performance is televised, or differing rights depending on the country of performance. A routine can be peformed in some competitions in some places but not others.

What's going on there?

I am sad to report that this is already a word. My condolences.

Your impression of those decades is influenced by styling and design.

Photos of actual people on the street show a lost less variation between the 1950s, 60s, and 70s than you might imagine. But when stylists want to cue the era they dial up tropes that are instantly recognizable. Bobby sox and poodle skirts are instantly recognizable as 1950s style, but it probably applied to only a small geographical area in a few urban areas. Similarly the greaser stereotype was not widespread. But now you'd believe that half of high schools were wearing white t-shirts and leather jackets.

I lived through the punk scene. Half the people at the shows I went to look like they were part of a varsity basketball team. We had one friend who had spiked hair and people would cross the street to avoid him. The styling now would have you believe that most young people were decked out in eyeliner and bondage pants.

 

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

 

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

 

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

 

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
