  1. Not a taco but one of the best meals of my life was in Sausalito. Pistachio encrusted salmon with a blackberry basalmic vingar reduction sauce.
  2. Not South Austin's mom's house.
  3. it looks like some kind of scar in the picture above. Botched nose job?
  4. Skip the Sky View and do the Space Needle instead. It's an icon for a reason. Go to Serious Pie for some pizzaif your in the Ballard neighborhood and Half Shell for some seafood (right down the street from Pike Place). Those are both Tom Doublas restaurants. and both great
  5. Uh, death please. No! Cake, cake, cake. Sorry.
  6. No shit. I forgot about that. When I moved back to Texas in 2010 the Macanudo-ettes were 5 and 3. We had just spent three years in 40 mile south of downtown Seattle and they had both been born in Alaska before that. They had never been in a thunderstorm.
  7. It's even funnier if you know me in real life.
  8. I have two friends who are Secret Service and both think the PA attempt on Trump was staged. Their reasons: 1. The rooftop the shot was fired from "should" have had some member of law enforcement on it. They are both willing to admit that this could have just been a colossal fuck up and the guy got lucky that no one was on it and at a minumim that the access to the roof as not secured. The rooftop was ~800 feet from the stage. That is well within the danger zone for snipers when POTUS/Candidate is speaking at a venue like this. It's not like this was a downtown area with 1000s of windows to cover. This was a vantage point with a fantastic sightline to the stage. So, either either a complete fuckup or allowed to happen. 2. The fact that Trump stood up with the arm in the air gesture. Both they both think this is an absolute tell. The agents would have smothered him and dragged him out of there with total cover. POTUS/Candidate would not be able to stand up and shake his fist. Both said that every agent involved in that would have been demoted or outright fired for not getting POTUS out of there. 3. Both have also said that they would haven taken a bullet for him. Not because they respect him, far from it. No agent wants to live the rest of their life knowing they failed to protect their assignment. At the time, I was very sure it was staged. I still think that.
  9. Miller and Longwell are both gay and yet belong to that group of LGBTQ voters that actively worked and campaigned for people who, at a mimimum, want them considered 2nd class citizens and, worst case, actually persecuted.
  10. It's one thing for road signs to be wrong. It's entirely different when the geography doesn't make sense. Somethign else stood out to me too... Did the streets in Seattle seem very narrow, almost European?
  11. Same one I got awhile back. It's fun to shoot. I just wish .45 ACP was priced closer to 9mm.
  12. How about we just skip the fucking signs in general?
  13. What's he gonna do? Authorize nuking California? Wait, what?
  14. It's not a coincidence that Treasury announced this week that crypto could be considered for 401k plans as an asset.
  15. I'm being a little hypocritical because I do watch the Bulwark (Sarah Longwell's thing) on Youtube but I still cringe up every time on her, George Conway, Tim Miller et al yoking up it about Trump and MAGA. Sure, it's nice to see some come to their senses and leave that world but they also had a significant hand in making it that way.
  16. It is entirely possible to have a plan for taking a shit and then fuck it up by getting drunk and shitting in a neighbor's front door planter. Or so I've heard.
  17. You just described the American labor force and job market in general.
  18. I have so many issues with this season. 1. As mentioned about Scar Island/the Aquarium. I fucking hate when TV/Movies use a literal place (like Seattle) and then fuck up the geography. Plus, even if Ellie washes up on an island in that kind of weather, she's probably dead. The closest island to Pier 59 is Bainbridge and that's 10 miles away. Plus, haven't the Scars eschewed technology? So how are they way the fuck over there and then getting over to Seattle proper? And why are they even doing so? Seems like staying on Bainbridge and not dealing with the WLF at all would be the best course of action. Finally, Isaac's boat come out the south and head north to wherever their going. The closest heavily wooded area on the water going north would be Discovery Park and that's 8+ miles away. So the Scar's are basecamping 7-8 miles north of downtown? That's 2-4 hours of walking. Ellie, Dina and Jesse "escape" into a park after Jesse finds them. WTF? 2. Item two on the Aquariam. The land where the Aquariam sits is about 400-500 feet from a very, very large incline/hill @ Western Avenue. The show has the Aquariam way the fuck out in Elliott Bay. If the area between the Aquariam and Alaskan Way/Western Avenue was under water, then the Aquarium and Wheel are under water as well. 3. The WLF have set up at Lumen Field. That could explain why Isaac's Navy came from the south. But that puts Discovery Park close to 10 miles north. Those little boats are going that far in that weather? Which bring me to... 4. Where the fuck are the WLF getting gasoline from? According to the game, it's been 25 years since the outbreak. Even if it had only been 5 years, gas isn't going to do shit. Seattle isn't exactly known for it's oil fields and refineries. 5. When Joel send Ellie back to get the horses. They left them on top of the hill because the switchbacks would take too long to get down. They thought they had an hour or two before Eugene changed. Ellie had time to get back up those switchbacks and then down? While leading another horse that would take even more time? Their initial descent would have taken 10-15 minutes minimum. By the time they found Eugene he was already a dead man. He wasn't making it back to Jackson. 6. I realize it's an integral part of the whole story line but Ellie's thirst for revenge just keeps getting people killed. I realize I am arguing points about a TV show where mushrooms have infected people but still. Final thought from earlier in the season. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to use flamethrowers in a town surrouned by a wooden fence? And who thought an all wood fence was the best idea? I realize Jackson wouldn't exactly have foundry to make steel plates but there had to be a better solution.
  19. I continue to stand by the assertion that if those who hire undocumented employees where fined/jailed for doing so, things would get shook up pretty nicely.
  20. China's 2:1 ships ratio is like comparing Aggie's enrollment numbers to Stanford. Sure, more Aggies but a considerably higher number of morons.
  21. Did I hear correctly that this is only on cash tips in our mostly cash free economy?
  22. Their reply should be on day 29 to file a lawsuit against the government and publicize the hell out of it.
