    MN DNR in the news

    First, . . . . https://www.startribune.com/dnr-says-minnesotas-sacred-6-walleye-limit-is-headed-for-extinction/601177553 I feel this is right given pressure and success rates, but boy this is going to be fighting words for some of the old timers (and the smaller resorts). And . . ...

    Food for thought

    Seems like a good point in time to reflect on how our preconceived political beliefs turn us stupid. This is not partisan - it is all of us - it is both sides. Now is also a good time to take a deep breath and not use "beliefs" and assumptions as a guide to understanding reality.

    Here is my new and improved permitted Olympics event list:

    NFL Draft Predictions - a pointless game, but at least it has a $$ prize for the winner

    Time to lighten things up. Here’s the deal. Pick the first ten players drafted in order in the upcoming NFL draft and by which team. Winner gets a $50 NFL.com gift card. One chance per user. Picks have to be posted on this thread by noon central on Thursday April 25th. My determination of...

    An abomination (and a parental warning)

    I suggest parents keep their kids off the “plus” feature of snap chat. Can you imagine the toll this will take on teen well being? What evil/clueless asshat launches this “feature” in 2024? Time for the pitchforks and torches folks...

    Texas provides the solution

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4554645-texas-man-running-for-president-under-name-literally-anybody-else/ I hope his VP running mate is “F*ck U. All”.

    How much is too much . . . .

    In a sister thread I asked how many firearms causes you to think a guy might be a little off his rocker. What about ammo?

    How many is too many . . . .

    The news always has the "man with arsenal arrested" and then down the page it says the the guy has a dozen or so. That's ridiculous - for a sportsman that is hardly a big number. On the other hand, if you are not an intentional collector/investor, there is probably a number where a guy has a...

    So very true . . .

    Sorry in advance for the paywall, but this is a great reminder of a sentiment a small group of folks like Thomas Sowell and Charles Murray have been trying to remind us of. This doesn't have to be about politics or race - this is about how the wealthiest 1% (D or R, black or white) separate...

    We are fighting the last war . . . .

    While the obvious TwitterX wedge issues are in full burn, we are fighting the last war - building battleships in 1935 at the expense of aircraft carriers so to speak. Before I start - ask yourself - am I blue collar labor or white collar labor? A simple way to answer that question for the...

    A timely lament . . .

    I don't know this guy, not sure he and I would agree about much in the political arena, but do feel like we could share a beer and not throw punches or resort to name calling. Having one foot in hard scrabble ND childhood/youth and one foot in the "educated elite" as a professional, I have...

    Ramsey debt viewpoint explained

    A while back I participated in a thread about whether Dave Ramsey was irrational in his approach to debt. I couldn't find that thread, so started this one. I just saw an interview with him about this very point. He acknowledged that as a trained finance guy debt is a reasonable part of...

    Can we at least all agree . . .

    That back in the 70s and 80s the "Itzaball" footballs were far superior to Nerf footballs. There can be no serious debate.

    So, it comes to this . . .

    You know it is all over when we start having "how to use Tinder" continuing education classes. ;) https://www.startribune.com/farmington-offers-class-to-help-online-daters-manage-frustration-write-better-profiles/600338757/

    The game is changing

    Not to focus on blue-team/red-team BS, but genAI is going to call into question every picture/video we see and all the audio we hear. Given how thoughtfully and carefully we have managed the dangers of the internet and social media to date, I am certain we will handle this wonderfully. I also...

    Sure signs of summer in your area

    A sure sign summer has come in suburban MN is that folks are already b$tching about the sound of freedom (fireworks). Bunch of nansie pansies (been watch too much Denny Crane lately on Hulu). What sure sign of summer pops in your neck of the woods after Mem Day?

    Obscure go to band

    Despite having hundreds of curated playlists, 95% of the time I am on a long flight I listen to my QuietDrive playlist - 4h 3m of every song they ever released in order of release. A local Hopkins, MN band I have loved from the beginning, but never really caught on. What is your go to band no...
