  1. I wonder if, for some people, some things won't just snap back like normal. During the middle of this thing I said I couldn't wait to just go out and hit a bar like I used to. Now I can do exactly that, but now I prefer just drinking beer in the backyard. People are fucking annoying.

  3. Went and had lunch in Thorndale with a 102-year-old man and his 99-year-old sister, then went with the sister to the family farmhouse where both she and her brother were born. Built in 1916, it's still in good condition although nobody lives there now. She was born in the house in 1922 and went through the Great Depression in the house. Her brother told me that during the depression nobody had any money but as farm kids they ate very well. There's an old, broken-down well (photo) and she said "I pumped a kajillion gallons of water from that well." So, to answer the thread question, I did that. I walked around an old house with an elderly woman.

  8. We own 4 emus and I wouldn’t fight them either. A typical feeding goes something like this: 1. Note emus are across the pen, 100 yards away and looking in the opposite direction. Safe enough. 2. Quickly dart into pen and set down food dish so you can get out before they notice. 4. Raise up to realize you are surrounded by 4 emus less than a foot away from you in each direction. How did they get there? 5. Ouch! That fucker pecked the back of my ear! 6. Spin around and slap emu across the beak 7. Feel another peck from behind on your neck from another emu 8. Simultaneously get kicked in the balls by the first emu 9. Give up and lunge away from their food and out of the pen while they hiss at you 10. Give laughing wife an angry glare

  9. One of the greatest winners and pure competitors the world has ever seen. He was nowhere close to the most gifted, most athletic, most rawly talented or even most celebrated not only to ever play but even that played during his time. But he was really goddamn good at quite a few things that make you a good basketball player. And he was absolutely ruthless when it came to putting in the effort, will and commitment to winning basketball games. You might never know that or would have guessed it. A lot of people still don't know that or maybe never will. But he bled to win basketball games. Physically, mentally - it's what he did. It was an obsession. And he won. A lot. More than all but about 3 guys ever. He won championships as the best player on his team by a smidge, the best player on his team by a mile, the best player on his team but only after a bit of evaluation or perhaps quite a bit. Like many greats - he won rookie of the year. Unlike many greats he also earned 1st team All-NBA honors in his rookie season. He won his first championship and FMVP in his 2nd season in the league for a franchise that had historically not only not existed for all that long but been snakebit on the highest stages. Then - and shortly after - he gave that franchise their 2nd and 3rd MVP trophies and the year after gave them their 2nd NBA championship after playing some of the greatest basketball the sport has ever seen for an entire playoff run. He would go on to be the centerpiece of 2 more championship Spurs teams in the next 4 years - picking up a 3rd FMVP along the way (which still to this day makes him one of only 5 players to ever do so - and if everyone's okay with being honest he should actually be the only player with 4 outside of MJ and LeBron). Seven seasons later - and after many disappointing playoff exits - at 37 years old and no longer a perennial all-star or 20/10 per game forward, Duncan played (in the playoffs) 750 minutes, led all players in defensive and offensive rebounds, scored 16 ppg on 52% FG, was arguably the best player on his team for long stretches at a time, led the Spurs to a 5th championship AND beat (in a series) the 2 greatest players of their not his generation in their prime while doing so. Oh shit I forgot - the year before that - at age 36 - Duncan was somewhat inarguably the best player on a Spurs team that came within a dick-hair of winning the Finals - while putting up 18/10/2 and 2.7 stocks in 35 minutes per game on 47 FG% and 81 FT%. He is bar-none one of the 10 greatest players of all-time if your basic definition of being "good" at basketball is how much you are able to contribute to winning games (and it should be). We could talk about his numbers. About his career double doubles and rebounds and points and blocks (although his record for total blocks in the NBA playoffs is about as unbreakable as any record in sports) but that's not what he was about. He just showed up and kicked ass and won championships and if that meant grabbing 19 rebounds and scoring 37 points and blocking 4 shots then he did that. There will never be another Tim Duncan. There will be better players (there's already been one) and players that play his position at a higher level but no one will ever replicate what he did. He was absolutely iconic and inimitable in almost the quietest and most unnoticeable way possible.

  11. I've been training for this my whole life. I'm normally a Indica before bed type of guy but an uprising will require me to dip into my Sativa strains I use when I want to clean the entire house or go for a run. Watch the fuck out y'all.

  16. The one utterly consistent truth about this whole Trumpkin gang is that they are all petty crooks and grifters who have latched on to the new big pool of suckers: MAGA voters. Every one of them. Pathetic, small-time crooks and grifters who aren't qualified or smart enough to make decent money doing anything legal. This is your heroic patriot class, MAGAs. Take a good look. The only thing more pathetic than them is you and your fealty to them.

  18. Yes, there's already half a dozen Covid threads, but not one for this specifically. For those of us fully vaxxed, what are you doing these days that you didn't for the past year+? Here's what we're already doing: I'm eating inside restaraunts again (even though they are understaffed). I just sent out an invite for my annual Memorial Day Barbecue, with the caveat that if you aren't vaxxed you aren't welcome. Smaller guest list this year, but it's back, baby. We've stopped requiring masks at my office, as we know all staff are fully vaxxed. Still requiring masks for visitors, but with the new data, it's really to protect the unvaxxed, not us. Planning vacations - with kids - for this summer/fall. Planning to go to JazzFest in October (that will be weird in the Fall instead of the Springs, but glad it's happening). Can't wait to stop wearing a mask in stores/restaurants/etc. Looking forward to a real football season.

  19. Almost made the call today. She rallied, but she's getting close. 16 years I've had her. Sweet as can be, but always seemed like she felt she didn't deserve the love she got. Lord only knows what she went through in the first year of her life. I can't be sad for her. She has had a good run. This may break Penny, though.

  22. Pretty much fully back to normal. I wear masks if the business has a sign requiring/requesting it. Otherwise I’m doing all the things I did prior to 2020: eating at restaurants indoors, grocery shopping, bars, visiting with family, going to parties, etc.

  27. Not an option. Acceptance of inhuman action by “abstention” is support. Just accept that we, the wonderful United States, the Shining City on a Hill, happily arm and support a group that celebrates and aspires to “erase” an entire people. It doesn’t matter how much bad shit the Palestinians have done - and there’s plenty of red marks on their side of the ledger - genocide is the greatest of human crimes. And we should not enable or support it. But we do. And we CELEBRATE PROUDLY that we do. And your silence and “abstention” is consent. “I neither support nor oppose the construction and operation of Auschwitz.” Imagine saying that. And realize that you just did.

  28. I remember when we got that ping pong ball. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Timmy was going to be the first pick (or maybe Keith Van Horn? - the media tried to create some suspense). The day of his first game, I took the EIT exam (engineer-in-training, precursor to the PE exam) in Austin. There were two 4-hour segments. I hauled ass through the afternoon segment so I could get out of there, race down to SA, and my parents and I went to the game. Timmy was beyond our expectations from the start.

  31. My son’s good friend OD’d before spring break. Got a ”hot” oxy he bought off some junior at Bowie HS. Mom found him barely breathing and EMS was able to hit him with the Narcan spray and save his life. It shook my son who is a freshman in college. Hopefully enough that he won’t tangle with street pills ever again. It is an odd conversation to have with your kid suggesting smoking actual bud and eating shrooms if he wanted to experiment, but if it saves me from burying him, I’ll do it every time.

  32. Why some of y'all are addicted to gloom mystifies me. Justice, of course, would be his head on a pike on the national mall, and that ain't happening. But he's going to jail for some of this stuff; he isn't the first, and won't be the last. He's not as clever as Dan Rostenkowski, though, so I just don't get why y'all think he'll walk. Smarter crooks than Gaetz have been taken down plenty of times, with less evidence and fewer enemies.

Served alongside what I like to call French Onion soup mushrooms (not soupy at all, just a glaze), grilled asparagus, some rolls and roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce sprinkled with mint, parsley, and Fresno chilies.
