I remember when people were lauding this contract (comparing it to when Watson's was restructured) saying it would never be restructured. Lol. Chiefs restructure Patrick Mahomes' deal, create cap space https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...re-patrick-mahomes-deal-create-cap-spaceThe Chiefs, who missed the playoffs in 2025 after reaching the Super Bowl in each of the three previous seasons, created $43.65 million in cap space. It marks the fourth consecutive year that Kansas City has restructured Mahomes' contract. kIcKiNg DaT cAn!

As a hobby, it's really become very approachable on any budget. So user friendly now too. My dinosaur literally takes 10 minutes of trial, error and fumbling with thumbscrews just to level the print bed. The Bambu I posted above self-levels before every print in a second or two. Granted, that's not something I have to do often, but a big PIA when I do. Also, most newer print beds have flexible, removable covers that allow you to "coax" your prints off much easier. Mine requires fresh Kapton tape every 50-75 prints. Getting that on with no bubbles is rocket surgery... imagine sticking your hands in a small box to put an adhesive sheet on a 10x10 print bed that cannot have a single bubble when you're done. You think cellphone protectors are bad?! Plus, I have to gently chisel my prints off; one small gash in the tape and back to some rocket surgery. That will summon swear words you didn't know you had in your vocabulary.  If you're still on the fence for a while, there are some killer deals on Amazon for Prime Day and Black Friday/ Cyber Monday. I'll probably hold out until then before I buy mine.

Yeah, that's exactly what I posted directly above your post. In actuality it will most likely never happen. Actually highly unlikely to ever happen. I'm certainly no constitutional expert, but from my understanding it would take an amendment to the constitution in order to change this.
To amend the constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate (or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures) to propose, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.
We can't get both parties to agree what color the sky is on any given day.

What other choice do we have? But the reality of the situation as I see it is this.
It's the same movie we've been watching since 1999 only the cast of the movie has changed every time it has been re-released. At least in the last remake we had a great DC. This time it's an entire cast of unknowns that have never played these types of roles before.
We hope for the best. But as they say, when all else is gone hope still remains. When that's all you have left it's the only thing that remains to hold onto.

RIP Jesse Jackson. I wanted to post about him yesterday but this thread is in the Everything Else forum. It's virtually impossible to talk about his life and legacy without it being centered around religion, civil rights and politics. None of which topics are to be discussed in this forum. Other than his family, those three things were the centerpieces oh his life.

I think for me, the best role he played was in Second Hand Lions.. I was surprised when that movie didn't do as well as others. I LOVED that movie! My oldest grandson was about 11 years old then. I watched it with him and he loved it so much I bought him the movie.

I could be wrong, but since the President has Pardon Power in the Constitution, I would think that such an attempt would be repealed by the Supreme Court. In actuality it will most likely never happen. Actually highly unlikely to ever happen. I'm certainly no constitutional expert, but from my understanding it would take an amendment to the constitution in order to change this. To amend the constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate (or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures) to propose, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.

Re: Trump urges Republicans to 'take over' and 'nationalize' voting

So let me see if I have this right. So now you're saying people should have a photo ID AND their birth certificate to vote? Based on what criteria? Should you and I have to show both a photo ID and a birth certificate to vote or is a photo ID alone enough? Above you skipped actually holding a discussion on this topic so I'll ask you again, what do you think about this? It's that just saying "Everyone needs a photo ID to vote" is a fraction of it. It seems to be a one size fits all solution without anything included to help those which it presents an obstacle to get those ID's.
I wasn't aware of how it worked in Ohio but after reading from some posters living there and looking it up, there are programs in Ohio which makes those ID's free and you can even get transportation to acquire one. If you're going to require all voters to have a photo ID they should have easy access and free ID's. Ohio is doing that. If you demand voters have photo ID's in every state it should be required to do it the way Ohio does it in every state. But that isn't in the bill now is it?
When I lived in Ohio it's the same as it is here in Tennessee. I had to go to my license registration office to get my drivers license. That's almost 20 minutes away by car. It was the same way when I lived in Ohio. A drivers license in Tennessee is $28. That's not an obstacle for me. That's easy for me and you too.
But not for many people. Not for the poor, often times the elderly or disabled. They have the same right to vote as all the rest of us do. If you are going to require voters to have a photo ID in all states, all states should have programs like Ohio making those ID's free and transportation to get those ID's. But you don't see that in the SAFE act do you? Of course you don't.
No American citizen should have to pay to vote. No American citizen should have obstacles placed in their way to vote. Anything? Anything at all?

Nobody is supposed to talk about history that happened so long ago. No more talk about the constitution. No more talk about the Declaration of Independence. No more talk about the founding fathers. No more talk about the revolutionary war. I'm pretty sure they still want to talk about those things. It would almost seem they're being selective about the things they do and don't want to talk about from long ago based on "their feelings" which dictate that part of our history has "long been dead".

Every coach has to start somewhere. KS never had a HC job and at least got us to the playoffs twice. Our new coaches have come from winning organizations so that's a positive. We already have talent on D which is a plus. No matter whom our new coaches are they can't win without good players, so we need an infusion of talent on the rest of the team. That's up to AB now. Let's give our new staff some time to see what they can do.

Does this mean this is a first time NFL gig for all of the following roles: Head Coach, DC, OC, Special Teams? As far as I know, yes it is. But that's great news if you read this board. Only the top candidates available were hired. YEP Color me skeptical but time will tell, and I hope I'm wrong about this new crew.

I am seriously thinking of getting one .... just a small one. My best friend from middle school's wife used one for many years in an old job, and she said it was amazing.
I am also considering a small CNC. I guess I am going nuts. lol

Just need to go back to a few easy steps to fix the voting fraud. You do know that the majority of the voting fraud has actually been PROVEN to be Republicans. . . . that's the reality. Not your warped BS about stolen elections that Trump won in 2020. And ... it completely misses the point of King Trump trying to pee all over the constitution - AGAIN. The Democrats stole a primary election in 2016 from Bernie Sanders. They stole the 2020 primary for Biden. Then they stole the election in 2020 from Donald Trump. Do you know how many times all of that has been challenged? Yet, we keep hearing the same things and NO PROOF! Check with the Heritage Foundation, a Right Wing org. on how much voter fraud exists. Here's a hint, you won't like it. Check with Brookings... They'll tell you the same story..... You won't like it. There are valid sources out there that disprove all your assertions including court cases. All you got is Trumps word,,,,, and we all know what that's worth.
