The Z06 will likely not have any boost, that will be saved for the ZR1.  The eventual hybrid will be a true monster, perhaps 1000 hp, motors driving the front axel and engine in the rear.

I think it's crazy, but I like it.

My surgery is scheduled May 25, outpatient.

outpatient.... it amazes me the strides in medical procedures over just the last 20 years.  going to sick call and having 'bones' scan you with some sort of device and then hit another button to fix you isn't just for star trek anymore.... well, maybe it is... but i can see where that is actually coming at this rate.

I was surprised they kept me overnight the first time really, but they said "for observation", OK.  They saw something in the cardiac CAT scan.

From what I read, this procedure is pretty simple with few/no undesired results, you recover quickly, I'll have a hole in my thigh.

I am tired of being out of breath all the time.  Our condo is on three levels and one set of stairs makes me dizzy.

The computer polls have almost disappeared from view.  I know one can find them, but they are rarely mentioned these days for obvious reasons.

I'd guess they are rarely discussed because they play no role these days of consequence, they are an oddity, a perhaps interesting feature that few follow.

Maybe the betting public puts great store in them, I don't know.

I'm impressed with how good "the line" gets set, by and large, I'd use those guys on the committee were it me, but that probably has a downside.

I do disagree on this

I think its a feeling that we will never unite on saying only the life of one race matters
we will only unite when everyone realizes all life is precious

This part is the guise of the phrase.  You're parrotting it.
.
Saying "black lives matter' means that this subest of all lives matters, too.  As in there is a danger that everyone doesn't value this subset.  Saying I like red M&M's doesn't mean I dislike green M&M's.  It means I was fearful that you though I didn't like red M&M's as much, and I'm setting the record straight. 

"Redheads are hot" doesn't mean "blondes are gross," does it?  This feaux "that tribe is being exclusionary" BS needs to stop.  It's fake (by the leaders of a certain party) and echoed by their blind (not stupid, blind) followers.

How come it seems like nobody but me thinks of "black lives matter" every time there is a mass shooting or a drive by or child killed in Chicago?

That to me is far more disturbing.

Folks do worry about it of course, they tend to be less prominent in the "news".

Do you guys think it's weird that they televise radio shows?  They've been doing it for awhile now. 
Yes. Why would I want to see someone yapping who, pretty much by definition, has a "face for radio"?

Of course, I'm a "writer", and often say my momma told me growing up that I have a face for radio... and a voice for print.

if we dont both move to the middle there will be no solution to our current situation

saying Black Lives Matter infers that white people dont feel that way and it tends to incite confrontation

I for one am tired of being labeled racist just because Im white

that gets old in a hurry

I know the activists dont want to hear it but all lives matter not just Black lives

I dont remember ever hearing the slogan Black lives matter TOO

If that was the name of the organization it wsould not get the same reaction from the right
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

See what all of your eating robustly has done
It was all kicked off by cooking, yes. Not the opposite plumbing. 

I put some shrimp shells down the disposal. That clogged. Then the disposal stopped. So I started working on getting into the PVC pipes under the sink to fix it. And broke the strainer of the other side of the sink trying to move pipes. So suddenly I needed to replace that strainer too...

I think it's weird that they televise most of the crap on TV.
They've been doing it since CATV produced more than 3 or 4 channels and 24 hour channels.
weird crap

Glad that's over.

Now I need to figure out WTF I did to the outlet feeding the disposal. I've checked the disposal on an extension cord and it's fine, and the other outlet connected (for the dishwasher) is fine. But the switch which controls this outlet is now dead...
