  1. I was fully aware when I posted. But we need to keep that Surly post count up, and them teeing off on that should cause an increase.
  2. I should start up a trade school for “AI Repair” - so the unemployed can get on the ground floor of a new exploding job opportunity…. After their check for the new term clears.
  3. My coworkers asked me what I did right after the muggers ran off….. I finished refueling my rental car and drove to Hertz. They now think I’m mental. I mean, that’s fair, but not for that reason.
  4. It sounded more like khakis and a dress shirt.
  5. The only thing we have going for us right now is that people who are fine with a dictator usually insist on a competent dictator. Trump with no one to provide guard rails is such an incompetent buffoon that our economy and relationships with former allies will be fucked up so catastrophically that people will think fondly of the Joe Biden robot. American should get used to being thought of as asshole leopards once they get outside of the USA. It will take decades for the world to forgive us for this shit show that is the Trump administration (which is doing its best to destroy the world’s economies).
  6. haha. well, that would be fun It’s just as likely that the honking horn - or him finally getting the bracelet un- latched to get my watch off my wrist - was the reason they ran. Those three things happened about the same time. I honestly think it took so long messing with me with no results that when they finally got my watch, they ran. Anyway, the detective told me there was a 99% chance of some kind of plea deal. After all, a jury will get to hear that a guy convicted of robbing people at gas stations is accused of robbing me at the gas station. Since the prior conviction will come in, he will likely be toast anyway. And if they found my watch in his car, there’s no way he can walk. The detective told me that there was close to zero chance that I’d be needed at a trial. I already bought a brand new replacement watch for the princely sum of $135 on eBay.
  7. Update: I received an unexpected call from a Detective from Oakland. Someone had called in and reported my mugging and the black sedan. They must have given a partial license, because the detective said that their crime detection cameras and license plate scanner had found the car quickly. Using my credit card information from the gas station they found my address and phone number, and called me to ask if I was in Oakland on Monday around 11:30. When I confirmed I was mugged around then and my watch stolen, the detective was extremely happy. They weren’t sure if anything was taken, but the guy they arrested had just gotten out of jail for robbing people at gas stations. There was also a mini crime spree Saturday, Sunday and Monday, which they think mostly involved this guy at nearby gas stations. Because of the information I gave them (watch stolen) they were now formally charging him with a felony. I told the detective that I would be happy to fly to Oakland on my dime to testify, and to tell the Dipshit that at the pre-trial. Given that I never made a police report, the fact Oakland detectives tracked me down and have arrested a likely suspect is pretty damn awesome. Remind me not to go crime-ing in Oakland. oh. They got a subpoena for the car from the scan match - and found what looks to be some stolen stuff in it. If they find my watch, they will send it to me after the case is closed.

  9. Trump is doing some good for investors. Apparently, the market just assumes everything he says is bullshit and as long as he is Taco Man giving out extension after extension, the market will not recognize trade problems and tariff problems as a thing unless and until that final tariff assessment happens. Which is probably gonna be, I don’t know, in two weeks?
  10. I think he would get rid of an old white man, but as long as he has a glimmer of a hope of banging her, I doubt he’ll fire her.
  11. Well, I’m Swedish, but apparently the Apple voice recognition software isn’t. Wait! You aren’t by any chance Norwegian, are you?
  12. Well, she should’ve figured out the situation when you put her on the ice flow.
  13. I don’t think he’ll replace her - because someone who has no idea what they’re doing and who will do whatever he says is exactly what he wants.
  14. I think your question answered itself.
  15. basically, I think this is your life we are talking about, and all though you may not decide to have all your car at MD Anderson, once your local guy comes up with a care plan I would at minimum do a consult with MDA to get a second opinion. That does not require you to use their care or their MRI machines or their surgery, but at least you would get a second opinion. If I would not have gone to MDA, I would’ve been gutted like a fish in an unnecessary surgery. Which is not to say you would have a bad experience with your local provider, but I don’t think you should discount MDA because it is not on your insurance if you are simply going to get a second opinion using the diagnostics prepared by your local people.
  16. “There is no client list in that f-f-f-f-f-file…”
  17. Baby daddy nowhere to be seen. #marriedmooseproblems
  18. No sharting or shaking. More a massive Peruvian marching powder ingestion 15 minutes ago type feel. I’ve read.
  19. “This is not the client list you’re looking for…”
  20. Earn enough to buy a new watch.
  21. I shoulda said, “Do you know where I kept this watch for 30 years before I put it on today?”
  22. All of this continued global trade uncertainty is just the type of brilliant kickstart that our economy needs. Kia owners’ used cars just appreciated 25%! amirite!
  23. Tariffs coming in two weeks…..ish
  24. Oh. when I returned the car, the Hertz guy told me 20 minutes earlier another customer has been mugged at the same gas station, but they had taken the person’s wallet and all of their luggage. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
