It's not just former POTUS though, it's presidential candidate also. It honestly looks like a gargantuan fuck up.

Brace yourself....450 feet, not yards. It's a reasonable distance for anyone with a good rifle, scope and experience.

Apparently the shooter was rejected from his school rifle club and asked not to come back.

Yeah that's weird but CNN reporting this too:

Federal Election Commission records show that a donor listed as Thomas Crooks with the same address gave $15 to a Democratic-aligned political action committee called the Progressive Turnout Project in January 2021.

They do and I believe presidential candidates since RFK's assassination.

I read an autobiography years ago about a girl in the US who had grown up in fairly extreme poverty. She ended up going on to great things. I unfortunately can't remember the name of the book but it was a really good read.

Anyway, one of the things that stuck with me was that home births with no hospital intervention were fairly common mostly because of cost but (and my memory on this is hazy) I think also this kind of "avoid the government" basis. They had midwives / nurses come on an unofficial basis.

The odds are partly dictated by betting to ease loss for the bookies so if folks in England were betting heavily on it coming home then it would skew from actual reality of chance of winning.

That's a great site. Thanks.

His son, Bernardino O'Higgins went on to become Dictator of an independent Chile.

Jaysus. That's a new one for me. Bit of a stain. I must read up more on it.

Neighbours: I hope you know I'm only taking the piss.

For what it's worth all that stuff is long behind us and we don't hold you accountable for the past, sure you'd nothing to do with it.

This is just like you and the Germans - you'll always cheer their opposition but there's no actual ill will.

I do hope the Spanish win though because I can't fucking listen to my English brother in law banging on if you do win.

At least we're close in the rugby so the slagging trade is fair.

Yeah, in fairness they played well against the Dutch so if they can replicate that they have a chance but Spain have been consistently good throughout.

Just checked the odds there out of interest - Spain favourites to "lift the cup" at 7/10 while England are 11/10.

Oh sorry.... England are facing Spain in the final of the Euro football championship.

Keen to hear any novel ideas (or just the humdrum of your weekend).

Planning on watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and / or Star Trek Voyager with the 10 year old myself. Going on a decent hike and playground with the gang also in the mix.

The usual sports stuff.

Seems to be on Vudu (for sure) and some other streaming services for $20 USD. Seems to be region restricted to US, UK and Canada.

Think I'll hold off for the Bluray myself. Any of you seen it yet? What's the quality like?

 

As I age, the number of fucks I have to give is declining towards zero

I'd love to hear your no fucks stories if you have some
