  1. I dunno, I think that is Nicole's sock account.
  2. Only other notable thing about Magna is this that Kennecott mining had knowledge that its mine tailing impoundments could fail, flood the city and kill/harm a lot of folks and covered it up. It's a shit hole. Or at least was in 2007-2008 when I lived in SLC. http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=8667373&itype=NGPSID
  3. Magna, UT is essentially a suburb of Salt Lake City, for whatever that is worth. Magna is to SLC as Liberty Hill is to Austin, for instance. Vestiges of being its own entity, but the city has started to absorb it.
  4. Final mastered version of that last track after a final round of mix tweaks in case anyone wants to hear it. @sidis was kind enough to do the mastering for me.
  5. I don't disagree, but this message from Talarico: Is essentially saying "I want to reconcile with my countrymen who I might disagree with politically so we can find a path forward together" But it's coming from a Democratic Party member in a deeply red state, and Democrats are at their lowest point of appeal, power and influence in my lifetime. So it seems pretty disingenuous and self serving coming from a member of the party that is, from what I can tell, on life support while the other party has a hand on the power cord. Add into that the decades of conditioning that all things left, liberal and with a D attached to it are evil, and Talarico the Democrat isn't going to pull any meaningful number of voters from the right with that message at this stage of our devolution. For that idea to be embraceable by people who have been voting right, it's going to have to come from someone not on the left. And for that idea to be embraceable by people who have been voting left, it's going to have to come from someone not on the right. Maybe someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican, demonstrably not MAGA) could form a new party around that idea and get people to buy into it. But, I dunno.
  6. @NowThis is funny.
  7. Knowing the prevailing mindset here, and the prevailing mindset among conservatives that I know, I just think the opposing party is dead to these people. I don’t think there is anything that can be said or done to convince them otherwise. These people see an R or D and their decision is effectively made, and little else matters. I think Talarico’s message would need to come from an independent, or perhaps a new party founded by people who are eschewing both parties. If he could find a like mind from the Republican Party and get some monied people behind them, start a new party focused on de-escalation, unity, preserving the Republic and populist economics. That might pull a decent number of people from both parties that currently have been essentially forced to choose between two warring factions. The problem when people make their decision between R or D right now, they fall into an information bubble provided by that side that has more to do with motivating them to join the fight than it has with promoting any sort of common ground. You are presented with the best of “your” side and the worst of the “other” side. And outside forces (Russia, others) contribute their weight to ensuring that half the people view the other half as a mortal threat and vice versa. I fully know one or both parties would be trying to undermine these efforts of a new, upstart party and it very well might fail. But the alternative is a continuation of current trends, which likely means the extinction of the Democratic Party and 20th century liberalism. It might mean worse than that.
  8. While I applaud the sentiments in the post (didn't watch the video), I don't think that is a message preachable by someone with a D or R associated with their name. I mean, there is no way half the country doesn't see it as completely disingenuous.
  9. You are going to give Imma an idea. Dumping fees for bodies at Town Lake.
  10. Doesn't ayahuasca make you lose control of your bowels and shit all over yourself? I think we've seen quite enough of that from Arch already.
  11. We've got 3 games of really subpar to abjectly shitty QB play after which Arch is mopey and says, "I played poorly. I've got to play better." It doesn't take much of that for people to lose faith. And by people, I don't mean fans who are always going to be ignorantly fickle. I mean coaches and teammates. And if a head coach insists on testing the definition of insanity by trotting the same non-performing player out there as a starter without seeing if someone else can be more than shitty on Saturdays, well, it doesn't take much of that for players, other coaches, recruits and those fickle fans to lose faith in the head coach, too. Compare Arch's postgame demeanor and subsequent performance after subpar/shitty play in these 3 games to this guy's. If this is an example of the intangible "it" that the best players have, Arch right now is a void of "it". I wish it was different for him.
  12. I think you announce publicly that Arch will start, but his backup will be prepared to play early in if Arch does not perform to a starter's standard. And fucking mean it. Give Arch the warning, the chance to man up and play but be prepared to see if someone else does not suck in game situations.
  13. This should really be everyone’s response and the end of the discussion.
  14. You dumb mother fucker. You need a new pastime because you obviously don’t know shit about football.
  15. You never forget a first love.
  16. The virus, its mutating.
  17. Everyone so eager to pounce on the thing that validates existing views. HE'S ANTIFA! HE'S GROYPER!
  18. Fuck you for making me aware of what #MomTalk is.
  19. Correct, not overt. Its not so much that oh, there would be a neon MORMON sign over the mantle as all the pictures of families engaged in activities would show activities provided through the church. They would be talking about their kid's mission, their work for the church, their kid's baptism, social functions and sports leagues, all organized by their church. If you are a mormon in Utah, you're a mormon in Utah. You aren't just a casual member of that church. Your life is centered around it.
  20. Yeah, other thing I saw in her FB feed was one post where she was praising Tyler (the dude in custody) for his 4.0 GPA.
  21. No religion in Utah is sorta significant. It means you are a minority and isolated (not intentionally, but just because the mormon to your left and right is involved in their church 5 evenings a week). We lived in SLC city a couple years when our kids were young, I felt more isolated there in a suburb of densely packed houses than I do in a town population 173.
  22. That kid could be either super far left or right of center in Utah.
