The 4 ACC teams are still in it. And NCSU should have been ranked higher since they beat UNC in the finals of the ACC tourny.
You can be sure Ohtani's lawyers wrote the statement for him and no way was he taking questions.
I knew about the shrimp hack for peeling raw shrimp and the fruit hack I use on lemons when I need lemon juice.
I finally bought a mandoline after looking at a bunch.

Mike Trout’s past declaration undercuts Shohei Ohtani’s explanation of story change
A Mike Trout quote from the past makes the explanation of conflicting stories one that's difficult to believe

Mike Johnson Claims Marjorie Taylor Greene Appears in Book of Revelation
MAR 25
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Widening a rift among House Republicans, Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters on Sunday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “makes a prominent appearance” in the Bible’s most apocalyptic book.
“I was in church this morning, just kind of flipping through the Bible,” Johnson said. “And as I was reading the Book of Revelation, all of a sudden I was like, ‘Holy cow, that’s Marge!’”
“I usually like to leave religion out of things, but since Marjorie is ushering in the End Times I felt I had to say something,” he said.
The Speaker was evasive when asked which character in the Book of Revelation mirrored the Georgia congresswoman, saying only, “She’s not the seven-headed dragon. To my knowledge Marge has only one head.”
He stressed that his decision to reveal Rep. Greene’s “pivotal role” in the end of the world had “absolutely nothing” to do with her motion to vacate the Speaker’s chair. “As long as I am Speaker, the chair is already vacant,” he said.

Now BA needs to find someone to clean up the mess. And United needs to do the same.
NW beating CT wasn't happening. Still #1 and all 4 of my final four are still in my bracket.
The ACC conference is the crown jewel of college bball. All 4 teams are going to the sweet 16.
You see old people driving all the time. The ones I see don't drive fast enough to commit bodily damage. lol. My dad handed in his license when he got pulled over in his driveway for driving too slow. The cop had followed him for over a mile simply because he never reached the speed limit. I arranged for someone to pick him up on a daily basis so he could resume his daily trips to the stores and back.
I really don't follow Reddit or Truth Social since I never signed up for either site.
What I posted was simply a point of interest regarding their IPO.
Liverwurst and onion with mustard on jewish rye. Did you miss my post.
And more Monty rumors.

He must have found a new interpreter.
Planes will just have to fly on cloudy days. Problem solved.
Duquesne won one for the coach who is retiring. I have 7 teams out of 8 that might go to the elite eight including the 4 #1 seeds. Need;less to say I am leading my group by a wide margin. If all 4 make into the final 4 it will be the first time in a long time. And that is why they call it March Madness.
I ate my sandwich yesterday while watching BBall.
They are pretty much equal stat wise.

I've lost track of how many times Cashman has called up players then sent them down again.
Robbie Cano don't ya know. lol.
I wonder how many in the DOJ use Apple phones.
Why? He has been screwing people for years with those initials. Why stop now.
I previously posted an article about how they have cleaned up the site from what it used to be. It was in the NYT they interviewed the CEO regarding moderation and I posted it here and on the Q&A board. I'm sure all social media sites have some sort of trash posted on them.
I went to the deli and got a liverwurst sandwich yesterday and picked up some bologna for fried sandwiches. Thanks for the memories.
Yankees sent Spencer Jones down and the Orioles sent Halliday down. Keep them down on the farm for as long as possible.
Not sure I'd want to use 4 filets like that.
ISIS. I believe our intelligence is correct.
My elite 8 is looking good along with my final 4. And KY sucks.
Liverwurst or brunschweiger has to be on fresh rye with mustard and onions.
Most definitely, we have a deli close by that makes the best!
Why; does that surprise you? It's what he does.
But Reddit cleaned up it's site to the degree it has become a respected social media site and had a successful IPO launch this week. I doubt Truth Social will have the same success and Trump will almost immediately try and get the lockout period changed by the board so he can dump his shares.
DWAC closed down 10% Friday. It will only get worse imo.
So who are you going to believe. Our intelligence or Putin's lies?
I Hope You All Feel Terrible Now
How the internet—and Stephen Colbert—hounded Kate Middleton into revealing her diagnosis
By Helen Lewis
Updated at 4:04 p.m ET on March 22, 2024
For many years, the most-complained-about cover of the British satirical magazine Private Eye was the one it published in the week after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997. At the time, many people in Britain were loudly revolted by the tabloid newspapers that had hounded Diana after her divorce from Charles, and by the paparazzi whose quest for profitable pictures of the princess ended in an underpass in Paris.
Under the headline “Media to Blame,” the Eye cover carried a photograph of a crowd outside Buckingham Palace, with three speech bubbles. The first was: “The papers are a disgrace.” The next two said: “Yeah, I couldn’t get one anywhere” and “Borrow mine, it’s got a picture of the car.” People were furious. Sacks of angry, defensive mail arrived for days afterward, and several outlets withdrew the magazine from sale. (I am an Eye contributor, and these events have passed into office legend.) But with the benefit of hindsight, the implication was accurate: Intruding on the private lives of the royals is close to a British tradition. We Britons might have the occasional fit of remorse, but that doesn’t stop us. And now, because of the internet, everyone else can join in too.
That cover instantly sprang to mind when, earlier today, the current Princess of Wales announced that she has cancer. In a video recorded on Wednesday in Windsor, the former Kate Middleton outlined her diagnosis in order to put an end to weeks of speculation, largely incubated online but amplified and echoed by mainstream media outlets, about the state of her health and marriage.
Kate has effectively been bullied into this statement, because the alternative—a wildfire of gossip and conspiracy theories—was worse. So please, let’s not immediately switch into maudlin recriminations about how this happened. It happened because people felt they had the right to know Kate’s private medical information. The culprits may include three staff members at the London hospital that treated her, who have been accused of accessing her medical records, perhaps driven by the same curiosity that has lit up my WhatsApp inbox for weeks. Everyone hates the tabloid papers, until they become them.
In her statement, Kate said that after her abdominal surgery earlier in the year, which the press was told at the time was “planned”—a word designed to minimize its seriousness—later tests revealed an unspecified cancer. She is now undergoing “preventative chemotherapy,” but has not revealed the progression of the disease, or her exact prognosis. “I am well,” she said, promising that she is getting stronger every day. “I hope you will understand that as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.”
This news will surely make many people feel bad. The massive online guessing game about the reasons for Kate’s invisibility seems far less fun now. Stephen Colbert’s “spilling the tea” monologue, which declared open season on the princess’s marriage, should probably be quietly interred somewhere. The sad simplicity of today’s statement, filmed on a bench with Kate in casual jeans and a striped sweater, certainly gave me pause. She mentioned the difficulty of having to “process” the news, as well as explaining her condition to her three young children in terms they could understand. The reference to the importance of “having William by my side” was pointed, given how much of the speculation has gleefully dwelt on the possibility that she was leaving him or vice versa.
However, the statement also reveals that the online commentators who suggested that the royal household was keeping something from the public weren’t entirely wrong. Kate’s condition was described as noncancerous when her break from public life was announced in late January. The updated diagnosis appears to have been delivered in February, around the time her husband, Prince William, abruptly pulled out of speaking at a memorial service for the former king of Greece. Today’s statement represents a failure of Kensington Palace to control the narrative: first, by publishing a photograph of Kate and her children that was so obviously edited that photo agencies retracted it, and second, by giving its implicit permission for the publication of a grainy video of the couple shopping in Windsor over the weekend. Neither of those decisions quenched the inferno raging online—in fact, they fed it.
Some will say that Kate has finally done what she should have done much earlier: directly address the rumors in an official video, rather than drip-feed images that raised more questions than they answered. King Charles III has taken a different approach to his own (also unspecified) cancer, allowing footage to be filmed of him working from home. But then again, Kate has cancer at 42, is having chemo, and has three young children. Do you really have it in you to grade her media strategy and find it wanting?
Ironically, Britain’s tabloid papers have shown remarkable restraint; as I wrote earlier this month, they declined to publish the first paparazzi pictures of Kate taken after her withdrawal from public life. They have weighted their decisions toward respect and dignity—more so than the Meghan stans, royal tea-spillers, and KateGate theorists, who have generated such an unstoppable wave of interest in this story that its final destination was a woman with cancer being forced to reveal her diagnosis. If you ever wanted proof that the “mainstream media” are less powerful than ever before, this video of Kate Middleton sitting on a bench is it.
