You probably aren’t going to find a piece of cheap plywood.

Just checked Lowes. $24 for 3/8 4x8. Anyone know how that compares to lets say 6 months to a year ago?

I just picked up some exterior 3/4" plywood a couple of weeks ago at Home despot for I think $38. I distinctly remember paying in the $70-80 range for one during the covid.

Mexican government is holding hundreds of thousands of immigrants in towns just north of the Guatemalan border as part of a deal made with Biden back in December. They will be released after the election.

And that person who tore down the flag probably still doesn't admit they were wrong.

And... she's been arrested.  The cops used her own video to track her down.  A bias intimidation charge, the lesser of which carries a potential eighteen month sentence and $10k fine.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

There have been a LOT of arrests made and successful prosecutions pursued because the perps just HAD to photograph their misdeeds.  :rofl:

Ten "abortion doctors" standing on stage at a Kamala Harris rally when someone has a medical emergency. The "doctors" just stand there and call for help.

Both of those asshats were ejected.

Imagine paying that much money for a ticket to a World Series game and then getting ejected because you're a total and complete New York *expletive deleted*che.
