I cannot fathom how a person staying aware of racial and social prejudices has caused so much butt hurt with the GOP conservatives. If you want to boycott ANYTHING because of this, fine, more beer, airline seats, etc. for me. BTW... "Black American folk singer-songwriter Huddie Ledbetter, a.k....
Jump to postArt is subjective. Music is art. Other forms of performance are art as well, but that will devolve into politics, so let's just stick to the topic: music is art and art is subjective.

Jump to postI have read articles about the "partially retractable roof" and I can't. I mean: Las Vegas in the summer is like 120F during the day, so why only "PARTIALLY" retractable? Why would anyone want to be in a "partially" screened area when the outside air is 120F?

That's odd to focus on a single year like that. The climate goes through multi-year cycles, which is why climatologists focus on multi-year averages, not individual years. And, in all these multiple years, the climate has been warming. Maybe we could just think and pray because that seems to be the...
Jump to postThat's another thing: This whole notion of "well all electricity comes from coal and gas anyway" is false. We on the West Coast have our energy from hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear.

Jump to postI am concerned, like many, that the attempts to phase out natural gas while well intended is a bad idea as other preferred sources including wind, solar and nuclear all have serious disadvantages as well as not being able to produce enough power in the all-electric future.

Listen, you can break bad anywhere next to an interstate. Fentanyl is being used to treat pain, right? It is also being mixed in with methamphetamine. But it is used for pain.

I suspect people will buy the subscription to Carlson, choose auto pay for the monthly fee, watch a few times, then forget about it but still be auto charged.
Also all these sports are alien to me, and the idea of teams relocating even more so, but I've visited California once, and know that Oakland is visible from SF (I've not taken that bridge).

Yes, but so long as Fox viewers have to pay such fees for MSNBC and CNN I guess fair is fair.
But that's what it is: the city refuses to fully fund a stadium when the wealthy could very well fund a stadium out of their own pocket. The other issue is that if the city does fully fund a stadium to appease the wealthy, in 10 years, the wealthy club owner will say "build me a new stadium or...
