  1. A week later. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bud-light-sales-keep-slipping-in-another-very-weak-week-155036783.html Anheuser-Busch InBev stock (BUD) is down more than 17% since the Bud Light parent company reported earnings on May 4 as the Dylan Mulvaney controversy continues to weigh on the beer giant's sales. The company, though, saw some slight improvement. In the week ending May 27, Anheuser-Busch InBev said Bud Light sales dropped 23.9% from a year ago — a smaller decline than the week prior, down 25.7%. Volumes were slightly improved slightly better too, down 27.8% the week of May 27, compared to down 29.5% the week of May 20. That's according to data from Bump Williams Consulting cited in an Evercore ISI note to clients. "Another week of very weak trends for Bud Light indicates that tracked channels may be reaching a point of stabilization, albeit at significantly lower levels for Anheuser-Busch InBev than prior to the controversy," Evercore said. mspart
  2. So this makes his legal opinions wrong? The question you were attempting to answer was that he was wrong in one of his legal opinions. You still have not shown that. You are attempting to show he has low moral character. Does that mean his legal opinions are wrong? I'm not saying he has never been wrong, but he is held in high esteem as one of the great legal minds of our time. There must be a reason for that. mspart
  3. Yep, just come on down south of the border in Mt. Vernon, (not THE Mt Vernon), just off I-5. That would be the closest one. You won't be disappointed. A visit to Pt Roberts, WA would also be fun. You can't drive there from here without going into Canada. It is west of Blaine. I've never been there, but almost went on my way to Victoria. It is on the way to the ferry terminal in Tsawwassen. They are essentially part of Canada except for the Customs border station right there. I have no idea what they do there but it is there. mspart
  4. So what you are trying to say is that any lawyer would have been wrong to represent Epstein. That is patently wrong. But this has no bearing on his opinions on matters of the day. If you could show where he said X but it turned out that Y happened, that is what I am looking for. mspart
  5. Do they make Vox amplifiers too? mspart
  6. You won't be sorry. They are mostly in Seattle area, with one in Mt Vernon up north. Also one in Mill Creek just south of Everett. MMMMMM tasty!! mspart
  7. Well, I have not read the entire article, but it appears I am wrong because he defended a guy like lawyers do. You might as well say John Adams was wrong to defend the Massacre guy and got him acquitted even though he didn't want to take the case. This doesn't say Dershowitz was wrong about anything unless I missed something. Please show me if I missed something. I take it you think he was wrong to defend someone. That doesn't mean he has been wrong on his opinions on legal matters. Apples and hamsters. mspart
  8. I had a double double at In and Out based on the enthusiastic reviews of a co-worker. Needless to say I was not impressed and have not eaten at one since. We don't have them here in Seattle WA, so I only get the opportunity if I travel. It's not a boycott per se, I just was really not impressed. Now if their milk shake had been something to write home about, I would go there just for that. Here we have Burgermaster - And they are the best around, plus monster good shakes. https://burgermaster.com/ mspart
  9. It seems the same construct is used against Dershowitz. I don't know him or his work, but I believe he is held in high regard for his expertise in these kinds of matters. I don't know that he has been wrong about anything. Maybe he has, but I would think his luster would have diminished if he had been. mspart
  10. It seems there is a difference of opinion here. And it is all subjective so indeed, it is just opinion. mspart

  12. It looks like Seattle and Portland. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/public-transit-new-drug-den-whats-being-done-keep-you-safe/X6GLQLCLXZGOXOH655KPJ23RJM/ KING COUNTY, Wash. — Lurking inside countless King County Metro Transit buses and trains is growing frustration over dangerous fumes from America’s deadliest drug. According to several Metro Transit drivers and the union representing thousands more, blue counterfeit M-30 oxycodone pills — commonly laced with fentanyl — are openly smoked or “freebased” by riders aboard buses and trains, exposing riders and operators to fumes often described as “sickening.” https://publichealthinsider.com/2022/04/05/its-safe-to-give-help-questions-and-answers-about-secondhand-fentanyl-exposure/ How could one get indirectly exposed to fentanyl from another person? Could you absorb it through the skin? Or through the air? The risks are very low. When someone smokes fentanyl, most of the drug has been filtered out by the user before there is secondhand smoke. It doesn’t just sort of float around. Studies have looked at fentanyl concentrations in the bloodstream after someone has had secondhand fentanyl exposure from smoke. The levels are extremely low or not detectable. So, there’s no real risk for the everyday person being exposed to secondhand opioid smoke. So the lesson from this is ride the bus, don't worry about the people smoking fentanyl, it won't hurt you, don't worry what the bus drivers say. Oh and the people that smoke it are not being guided off the bus, not being kicked off the bus. No, because you can't do that. And no one will prosecute it except they will prosecute the driver that kicks them off the bus or anyone else that does so. That's what it looks like. mspart
  13. And Heaven knows we need another schmuck in the WH!!! mspart
  14. Bets on who bows out first? mspart
  15. We have Trump, DeSantis, Vivek, Pence(maybe), Chris Christie, Nikki, Tim Scott, Asa, Larry Elder. Christie is usually a no holds barred kind of guy so it could be loud. mspart
  16. Double agreed. mspart
  17. We have had success in GR. In 2007 we were the team champions in GR. mspart
  18. Dexterity of a 2x8 board. That's quite dexterous. Brings a clear image to the imagination. mspart
  19. Would it not be interesting to witness? Maybe he would flop. Maybe not. It would be interesting to see. I agree GR has different skill sets. But he may be able to do both, others have in the past. mspart
  20. Those are great anecdotes. I'd still like to see Gable give it a try. He may have been exposed to some GR training in MN where they had a strong GR record of accomplishment. mspart
  21. I've been there once. It was ok. But it was in an airport and maybe not the same as regular. mspart
