The vacuum bags "work", in the sense that they do indeed compress your shit. I used them for t-shirts and undershirts and found that the bags got flat as fuck and I was pleased. But they also have a bunch of excess plastic around the edges that has to go somewhere, and it tends to bunch up. So it might not be worth it, depending on your bag. I was using a basic roller suitcase and it worked fine for me, FWIW.

I would prefer an outright ban on DTC, but the argument is that that would trigger cases on 1st Amendment grounds. The ads are already mostly a recitation of adverse effects. I guess if you force them to read the whole package insert you could make the ads cost prohibitive and more annoying than they already are, but this doesn't get rid of them. The social media component is also a good area that needs some cleaning up. I don't have much hope that this actually does anything useful until we see actual enforcement and some skull cracking.

Not debating you just stating. Sark has struggled with defenses who do what I described. Especially if they’re able to limit our run game -
"only murders in the building" on hulu
Nigel Tufnel replied to henrygandorf's topic in Movies and TV
As a reader, I will paraphrase John Irving, "I wonder if people who complain about a work of fiction not being 'realistic' understand that what they really don't like is, plot." I get the complaint, but if you watch mysteries (especially serial mysteries that follow individuals solving murders) this is the number one thing that you need to let go of to enjoy. None of us would want to vacation in St. Marie in the Caribbean because over 100 people have been murdered there. But Death in Paradise has a strong audience. -

Everything he did as POTUS also wasn’t mainly to enrich him. And he also willingly left office in 1988. I’m not gonna bother arguing where Reagan lands among all-time presidents. The bottom line is American Democracy would be just fine, bruised maybe but not broken, if not for the worst American, not American POTUS but American, we have ever seen sitting in the Oval Office today. End of story. -
A garnish.

Real talk: It's always been that way.

A jesus freak kid got a teacher to be forced to resign at my ex's high school in the early 2000s for showing Romeo and Juliet which was against her religious beliefs. This shit isn't something new and moral panics certainly aren't anything new or unique to this generation.

Yes. As I stated previously, the College (Arts + Science) appeared to be either going through or revising a plan to go through the protocol to amend either instruction and/or content and/or description etc. once the initial complaint was lodged. It was a summer class and thus I expect things to not run as quickly because many faculty are likely on 9 month appointments (if it's like other unis) and so while the lecturer was obviously there and teaching, coordinating all the others to meet probably took awhile and meanwhile the clock is ticking. But yeah, the video from that summer class being released now means instructor will be/was fired. Should they have been fired/released from the beginning? No. But given the way the argument was framed it was going to go that way. The Dean and Department Head were released from their administrative positions but were not fired from the school unlike the lecturer. The legal grounds for firing them were likely on shaky ground when examined by counsel. The domino effect will restrict and censor courses and topics regardless of elective status because that is the way it's going to go. Sucks to our assmar.

Put me in the camp that unless you want to go into a very very tightly networked industry like Wall St; it really doesnt matter where you go to school, relatively speaking. Especially if your kid has some work ethic and a personality. My son will end up with zero debt because he's getting free undergrad at Alamo College here and living at home. He wil be able to roll his 529 into his ROTH with an engineering degree from UTSA. He can spend the remainder of his 529 taking motorcycle mechnic courses because thats his passion. No AI or robot is going to fix a Ducati.

Then the math should show a shift towards more productive extended drives, and it apparently isn't, so . . .

Texas Football 2025 - Playing With Our Food
Fondren & Main replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
We saw evidence of this all of last year too. If Quinn hits a few deep balls then we are sending an avalanche of shit on our opponents and winning games by 3+ scores easily. Lots for us to work on of course, but I'm not gonna worry about what we do versus these overmatched teams like some on here. If we look like shit fried over against Florida, then I'll start worrying. It's not like Georgia, LSU and Penn State have been setting the world on fire. -
feeds still missing a lot of unread content.

But modern defenses are being designed to take away those easy scores and deep scores so having to grind out drives is necessary. -
So as we've seen from this example, social media shaming adults into action is partially to blame. It has empowered young people to feel they don't have to listen to something they don't agree with or they feel runs counter to their religious beliefs or overall belief system. Some are fine with this until it's their beliefs that are the ones being attacked and removed. Then it's a bridge too far.

Now, now Brisket. We both know that he's simply being consistent. When it comes to blue states doing things they don't like, they maintain the same "hey, who are we to question it. That's the law. Take it up with the courts," approach.

I had no idea Malachi Nelson was the UTEP qb. 5 stars baby.

Have some balls, for once in your life -- BE the finder of fact. Tell us how YOU would rule in such a case. Have a spine. Just for giggles, once in your life. Tell us how YOU would find in such a case, you pathetic coward.

This thread has been properly derailed. -
As a founding member of this board's James Talarico fan club, this is the kind of race I was hoping he'd avoid. An almost certain L here will put him on the list of "popular with democrats but unelectable state-wide" candidates with Beto and Wendy Davis. I was hoping the party would find a congressional district for him, but with the new maps they're already going to have more qualified candidates than seats.

If I were a member of any of those people’s family and cared about them, I would beg them to never do anything like that again.

Your fault for marrying the president of the HOA.
