  1. I saw it earlier today, and I don't trust them either. It seems to be an escalation from stuff like Colorado (which has little precedent, while this convention timing stuff has bipartisan precedent).
  2. First, fantastic post Brisket. Second, I am pretty sure the first five posts or so are a perfect representation of this site. Well done everyone!
  3. Could he, though? I figure he'd make it 2 semesters before it was just too much.
  4. Either neg boss ditchpig or fucking ignore him, y'all
  5. Excellent - as I read this my inner voice began to resemble that of Jack Handey
  6. Ugh. Still need that puke reaction thingy. Guess I'll use Prepare Your Anus instead?
  7. I live in this part of Virginia, and you've got it pretty well laid out.
  8. Where I live there is a long history of terrible treatment of the minority areas, including things like upkeep or improvements to parks. So guess who was taking advantage of the nice parks in the nicer parts? More recently there has been a clear effort to spread the wealth, so to speak, by the parks department. For years I have run past this one particular park in a rough part of town, especially on longer runs on the weekends. Happy to say that the last couple of years I see not just a lot of people but huge parties/events/cookouts at the improved facilities. Like, I want to stop and see if they'll let me hang out, the food smells amazing. The cynical side of me wonders about the motivation to spend $$$ to improve those certain parks.
  9. While I understand the question and look at history, why would you ever give up the "incumbency" advantage even if the opponent has effectively the same thing? I wouldn't care to give up an advantage that puts me notably ahead, but it is pretty silly to give it up if it just brings me even. Why start from (near) zero?
  10. Worse, I'm thinking the average American doesn't give a shit about telling the difference between someone of Indian descent vs. Saudi
  11. Well I guess this goes here. I think this place has made the rounds before, but CNN has a new story today on the Trump Store - just 12 or so miles from me. I'd say FML, but I know the town manager there - FHL. At least I don't think he's Trumpy from what I know, the rest of his family definitely is not. It's got to be tough on him. I do know that the last few times I've been through there the number of people there seemed much smaller than a couple years ago. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/16/politics/trump-store-fans/index.html And of course the store owner's name is Whitey. ^^^^^^ Somebody with better skills than I have needs to put some Balls (man) on his chin.
  12. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that shecond shingles shot is shittiest.
  13. They do. Along the lines of Jimmy Jazz's post I remember a time where they brought this trailer to our school that had a dining room-like setup on a shaker. The room had a table and chairs, ceiling light fixtures, some cabinets on the wall - all that typical sort of stuff - and one side was open for everyone to watch. So they would have a few kids get in and sit in chairs around the table and start shaking the shit out of it. You would get to experience the feeling and react the way you were trained. Amusement park ride, indeed.
  14. Holy fuck - I spent several years growing up in Japan, and earthquake awareness and preparation was such a huge thing. I have known about the Great Kanto earthquake 100 years ago nearly all my life. Well, this morning as I went to refresh my memory on a few specifics of that disaster I learned about the Kanto Massacre for the first time. Damn people can be terrible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantō_Massacre History diversion aside, hoping for as little damage and death as possible today.
  15. Someone had boxes of sugar cubes, and we pelted those corps turds closest to us for quite a while while laughing at them. Good times. (Let's not think about the actual sugar bowl...)
  16. Totally agree - this summer I visited a relative who just turned 109. It was tough to see what her life is like, but the staff members we met were amazing. Shoot, they helped care for us during the time we were there not just the folks living there. That said I was speaking more to the broader senior living category where assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing etc. are part of a full suite of services where you can live there for 20 years and progress through stages as needed.. It's all super expensive and some of the places my wife works with have 7 figure buy ins. Insane.
