A judge has put a stay on the "sensitive places" portion of that law, and the rest is being contested in court. Of course, Newsom and Bonta are appealing the stay. It will go to the 9th, the 3 judge panel will uphold the stay, Bonta will ask for an en banc, which will be granted, and that hand picked "random" 11 judge panel will side with the State.

Some brands here are the long and skinny, most are the short and fat.

Same here...the Japanese do seem to be obsessively obsessed about obsessing about sword nomenclature. Every tiny difference obviously means it's obviously a different type of sword. Obviously.

In western usage the terminology gets muddy and the terms are interchangeable. Technically an odachi is longer than a nodachi.

A fair amount of the looniness came from out of state, carpetbaggers moving in and bringing in their Eastern Seaboard sensibilities.

EDIT: It seems that something has changed on FB and links to photos expire after a day or two. From now on I'll try to save the photos to phone or desktop, then post the photo. National Canal Museum Suggested for you · · Asa Packer was born on December 29 1805, in Mystic, Connecticut. His family’s poverty limited his formal education. In 1822, he walked more than 200 miles to a cousin’s home in Pennsylvania to apprentice as a carpenter. Eleven years later and still so poor he travelled by foot, Packer arrived in Mauch Chunk and leased a canalboat from the Lehigh Coal & Navigation (LCN) Company. Income from his first boat season let Packer lease a second boat, then he opened a general store and boatyard and built a fleet of canal boats. In 1837, Packer built some of the massive locks in the LCN’s Upper Grand section, which cemented his fortune and his standing in the community and the anthracite industry. In 1851, Packer bought controlling interest in a floundering railroad, renamed and built it. By 1855, the Lehigh Valley Railroad (LVRR) connected the coal docks at Mauch Chunk with Easton, and Packer was on his way to becoming the wealthiest man in Pennsylvania. Though still firmly in charge of the railroad, Packer’s later years were dedicated to philanthropy. Recognizing the need to train American engineers, he founded Lehigh University with a bequest of $500,000 and land; later he donated $400,000 to build the Linderman Library in memory of his daughter. In 1876, he donated land for the Lehigh Valley’s first hospital, St. Luke’s, and endowed it with $300,000. Packer died in Philadelphia on May 17, 1879; generous bequests in his will sustained his support of these and other institutions long afterward. #History #Archives

Thanks. I don't know why I always transpose them. But.... Susan Sarandon is still quite the looker!

Ms. Sarandon is still quite the looker.

The Beerlympics are coming up.

Calling a whole bunch of regulars here "stupid." Not everyone has the luxury of packing up and moving. My dad came here from Kentucky via the USMC, after government paid tours of the Mediterranean, N. Africa, then, tired of that, a trip to the Pacific. Thank you for calling him stupid.

Back in their hayday I agreed with their politics. Then I grew up. They got cancelled a couple of times because of their politics, and brought back for their politics. But I recall they skewered both sides, although they were harder on conservatives.

But what's the point? You just lost 95% of the weight.

Too much slime and fecal matter.

The other side of that equation is that we will never see minimum wage like that again, nor an annual average household income of $6,000. Looking at the Porterhouse Steak, it's about 2.5 hours at minimum wage. So at the California minimum wage today that's ~$37.50. Not really that far off in terms of labor at minimum wage.

From the article: ""Part of it is to make sure if you're a young girl that you can find a police car, fire truck, a periodic table or a dinosaur," Assemblyman Low told the LA Times in 2021. "And then similarly, if you're a boy, if you're more artistic and want to play with glitter, why not? Why should you feel the stigma of saying, 'Oh, this should be shamed' and going to a different location?"" =================== That being translated, the capons and wethers in Sacramento believe that ordinary people are too stupid to find a toy firetruck, periodic table, or dinosaur toy in a store.
