Damn straight, 'cause...

Basically Jobs refused to have surgery when they found the cancer by chance very early on and it was still treatable. Alt medicine didn't do diddly and when he did go for the surgery like six or nine months later, it had spread and was no longer really treatable. Similar to the King or England who is treating his cancer with "herbs and potions". Good luck with that. As for Dr. Bynon, the transplant doctor in this thread, I have a gut feeling that it's not going to turn out to be just because he thought someone else had a better chance. I'm guessing that all the people he moved down are going to have something in common: They're going to be all blacks, or all women, or all liberals, or something like that that is going to make the good doctor look much worse.

I bought my last tux in 1993. I wore it a year ago and I hate the style. It was fine in the '90s but loose fit legs and a full break just looks like an old man tux. (I may in fact be an old man, but I work my ass off to be in shape and if I want was dress like a dumb-ass 30-something, then Fuck you, I'm doing it.) There's a 50/50 chance it doesn't fit, but for $119 it's worth the shot.

2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
0xdeadbeef replied to Wally Fairway's topic in Daily Texan
OMG, the NASA TV coverage is as bad as you indicated..."Let's take a look at how the people of Kerrville have been preparing." No, let's not. It's like when Olympic TV coverage cuts to human interest stories rather than covering, I don't know, maybe Olympic Events. -

Latest Satellite cloud layer from wunderground.com Folks out in Marble Falls might get lucky and catch part of the 50-mile-wide gap in the clouds that is near Fredericksburg right now, but everyone else in Cen Tex looks out of luck. -

Useful site that lets you click anywhere to see details: https://nso.edu/for-public/eclipse-map-2024/ For the Memorial Stadium: 1 minute 49 sec of darkness -
To me this seemed so over-the-top that it seems like a piss-poor attempt at a fake Onion type article. So I Googled it... Not only is it real. The BBC broke this story last June. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-65951188 The 'new' part is that he was finally charged. Some people just suck.

I've seen a million episodes of Rockford Files, but I couldn't I remember exactly when I watched them. I was just slightly too young for first-air primetime viewing. Wikipedia conveniently had the answer: The free-range children of the early '80s watched whatever we wanted on afternoon TV. (Of course since we didn't have cable, there was Gillian's Island, Hogan's Heroes, and the Rockford Files.) Also, my memory of Beth Davenport was that she was much hotter than what Google Images indicates.

This should have ended with the Key and Peele skit. This is similar to "A Night at the Roxbury" in that there is no need to turn a skit into a full length movie.

Spotify has been my go-to for the past couple years. I started out with the free version of Spotify, but it quickly proved it's worth to me. I have Spotify on my Garmin Watch for runs without the phone, on the phone, on the computer, and on the Google (Nest) Speakers. Other than a stray music video or two on YouTube, Spotify is now the source of 99% of my music and 100% of my podcasts. My latest podcast binge kick is science based exercise shows: RP Strength Barbell Medicine The Drive Stronger by Science More Plates More Dates

My 'BS' meter started beeping with the video above showing the cops arresting an un-hurt man. No fucking way. If they had claimed one gunman was captured but has significant gun shot wounds, and is on the way to the hospitable, it would seem plausible.

<fingers in ears> LA LA LA I'm not listening. There was an old Kingston Trio song called M.T.A about a guy who couldn't get off the subway. I feel like that guy. Over the last year and a half, my portfolio has morphed into all Tech stocks and Tech sector funds. The bottom line is amazing, but I have no exit strategy. How/When do you get off the Tech Rocketship? Long Term Hold is my current plan, but I know there's going to be a big-ass correction at some point. It makes me nervous to think that maybe we're at the peak of the mountain right now and that we're going to look back in a couple years and say "I wish I sold there". ...Or maybe NVDA is going to 2,000. Hell yeah, let's ride this pony!
