  1. Past hour
  2. They’ve tried that. A bunch of middle class morons took the side of the billionaires and now here we are.
  3. Jerry Callo

    2025 ACL

    I'm glad I didn't purchase tickets this year.
  4. Yeah, it's not good - The problem was inferior metal compound used in the main bearing caps that would crack and eventually just let go. I understand there's a GM recall out for something like 800K plus vehicles with that engine and main bearing caps problem. Good luck GM......
  5. Ok. You’re not wrong either. But when I listen to him, all I hear is slurred gibberish.
  6. Phantogram sure seems low on the lineup there
  7. If you don’t mind going with some polka bums [uWu]
  8. Yeah, well, the occasional 12 year old gets into Harvard.
  9. Moisture farming has never been big bucks, plus your farmhands keep bucking to leave for the Imperial Academy or go muck around in Anchorhead
  10. Plus he'd have party favors.
  11. Being told about it and experiencing it are two different things.
  12. Enshettification thread is that way —>
  13. I would normally agree with you, but the economic numbers from national parks/forests/monuments show that they will likely face intense pressure from back home to push back on cuts. Governors don't want higher unemployment numbers and state legislators don't want a reduction in revenue/annual visitors that they use to pad the state coffers and budget: Montana - $5.4 billion in tourism spending, 66k jobs Wyoming - $4.8 billion in tourism spending, 33k jobs Utah - $12.71 billion in tourism spending, 160k jobs South Dakota - $5 billion in tourism spending, 59k jobs Nationally, national parks brought in $26.4 billion in spending by visitors and 415k jobs. $55.6 billion in economic output for the United States And again, it will somehow be "targeted" to affect Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington most of all.
  14. 100%.
  15. me too, should have moved down pre covid
  16. You're telling me that running DoD like elon musk's twitter takeover is not a good idea for our warfighting and deterrance posture?
  17. The NSC process is broken, even before Loomer went buckwild in there they had ransacked the professional staff. Cabinet heads are left making decisions based on what they think they heard. Will get worse before it gets better, Rubin may try to instill some discipline but the simple fact is that the machine can’t run if you strip off too many parts.
  18. Good. This may be an unpopular opinion but, if we’re going to cut public funding for anything, it should be school sports.
  19. Gotta say, invoking lebensraum as a national policy for Israel was not on my bingo card. "Voluntary emigration" (the phrase quoted in the linked AP article) isn't really voluntary when it's that or getting JDAM'd https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-cabinet-approves-expansion-gaza-offensive-broadcaster-kan-reports-2025-05-05/ The decision to expand the operation was immediately hailed by Israeli government hardliners who have long pressed for a full takeover of the Gaza Strip by Israel and a permanent displacement of the population, along the lines of the "Riviera" plans outlined by Trump in February. "We are finally going to conquer Gaza. We are no longer afraid of the word 'occupation'," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told a pro-settler conference in an online discussion.
  20. Northwest Hills.
  21. Tim Miller countered with that-basically, isn’t Abundance a jumping off point for a party admitting failure to solve problems and its animating ideas part of the conversation toward a vision to compete with Trumpian nihilism.
  22. Uh yeah. The man literally campaigned on all of the things we are talking about in here: Deporting all migrants Tariffs Cutting government programs/spending Collecting student debt etc These are things that are 100% against the interests of these people. Yet he gave them enough of the "those people taking your ..." jobs, money, housing, cars, etc that they lapped it up and still voted for the man. Yes, I think he talks and sounds like the crazy old man in the cafeteria of a retirement home that is raving on about how he ordered the Steak with the red wine when it's chicken day. But the guy sold these people something that got their vote. Yes, they are stupid for lapping it up, but it was enough.
  23. Maybe Sark and them fellas just thought it might be a docent idea, having a place-kick holder who could actually get the laces out and the ball straight and could throw a pass on a fake kick. Disclaimer: I have no idea whether Caldwell has ever held for kicks, but I also have no idea whether the "I'm told..." schtick has the slightest validity. Damn, I wish we'd had a spring game to see what we've got.
  24. I was only half kidding with my comment earlier. These look interesting, but I wonder about the cost economics. 30k for 250 gallons a day and let's call it 1KWh per gallon in electricity to produce (per tech spec sheet @ 240Wh/liter) avg electric cost in Texas is $.15 per KWh that's $37.50 a day in electricity for 250 gallons of water. So if you had a family of 4 and used 3,000 gallons of water a month it would cost nearly $450/mo in electricity plus the amortized cost of the unit, let's say they gave you a 12% loan for 15 years (co term with warranty period) that's $360/mo So for $900/mo you could have less water than a normal family of 4 is budgeted to use daily. I must be missing something, because 1k/mo buys a fuckton of water from a truck + a tank to put it in.
