  1. Saw this posted elsewhere - dude spotted a supercar on the road in California….. Looking it up, it is a 1,500 hp hybrid Regera, with a 0-250-0 mph speed run attained in as low as 28.81 seconds. This model is a few years out of production and has been supplanted by newer, faster and more expensive Koenigsegg’s. But depending on trim and colors, a Regera still commands between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000 for a used one. https://luxurypulse.com/sales/show/5537-koenigsegg-regera That is $$ from another planet! Just for fun I did a Ca DMV license and registration fee calculation for buying a $4 million dollar car. Ca DMV would charge a buyer $350,000 in tax and purchase fees, and then tack on an additional $26,800 PER YEAR to register it. I’ll pass!
  2. I said years ago that Trump was/is unhinged and erratic.
  3. Giddings didn’t have anything like a WB when I lived there in the late 1960s. Didn’t have a ballroom either. That was before their short lived oil boom. Sheriff Bubba Rost would’ve run the delinquents out of Lee County anyway.
  4. Maybe not so trivial….. the continuing saga I posted about weeks ago: In late January some asshole broke the main access lock on our neighborhood USPS communal mailbox. As a result, we and 24 other neighbors have had to drive 11 miles one way from our street over to our USPS office substation to pick up our mail. I believe most of us make that 22 mile round trip at least once per week. Nine months later, after numerous inquiries, the postal service clerks say that the new lock to replace the broken one is still on back order. Since the IRS allows a 70 cent deduction per mile for vehicle business milage, that expense for the 35 trips (770 miles total) I have personally made to pick up our mail. That comes to $539 worth of income tax deductions. Not to mention the 26 total hours of travel time there & back over the 9 months @ 45 minutes per round trip. Now multiply those numbers by roughly 20 to estimate the total time lost, miles driven, gasoline burned, and $10,000+ in IRS deductions. All because the USPS cannot get a simple cheapass lock from wherever it was back ordered. What a country, what a government.
  5. Jfc - Trump is tone deaf ignorant and apparently has Putin’s dick permanently imbedded in his mouth.
  6. Finishing a W.E.B. Griffin series….
  7. A retired Vegas local I know posted his 2 night comp report at Ellis Island on another board. Thought you high rollers might like to see how a “little guy” rolls on the cheap in Vegas. He says he’s a retired helicopter pilot and has lived there for about 10+ years…..
  8. Damn Chinese TikTokers.
  9. ^^^^ Altogether $104 less than the other with the Magpul stock.
  10. That one I linked doesn’t have the BX- trigger module upgrade, but it can be bought separately a lot cheaper than that $500+ 10/22. $68.95 here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/262230851042
  11. Geeze…. $500+ for a 10/22? The plain jane will do just as well for yard critters if noise isn’t a problem: If it is, then this one will take a can … https://grabagun.com/firearms/rifles/semi-automatic-rifles/ruger-10-22-carb-bl-syn-flash-suppressor.html
  12. Fat fingers ftw.
  13. During my UT days I used to get $5 for a pint at the blood bank on Friday, buy a .99 cent glass jug of Coke and $3.99 for a fifth of Four Roses. Made for a good weekend.
  14. 38 - 6 bitches.
  15. I do not need to be reminded where I live.
  16. Why did he start that?
  17. Putin must’ve ordered his pig lipstick from TEMU.
  18. 16 points for me.
  19. WB trying to compete with Wafflehouse ambiance now, or just going full Chicago? http://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/order-mix-sparks-bloody-7-214600813.html
  20. I had the urge to tell him that I sincerely hoped he would never have to step over blood pools of his fellow students. However I didn’t want to start a ruckus with an idiot.
  21. Sometime in the 1980s I saw an ou fan walking around during the Fair with a T-shirt that said “Where is Charles Whitman when you need him”.
