  1. Who would they put in?
  2. The interesting thing is that it stirred up a hornet’s nest on the tankie left and (for different reasons) among nominally democrat voting neighborhood reactionaries, who increasingly are making common cause with suburban Republicans at the state level. The alliance of the Austin Neighborhood Coalition with Bill Aleshire and Ken Paxton to stop zoning reform and transit planning being a local example.
  3. Shortages would be the least of our problems in the “bad” scenario.
  4. The short version is that commodity products are priced by market forces in real time and fundamentally subject to demand. The long answer is extremely complex and the extremely long, but relatively straightforward in that you can’t price in what the market won’t accept, so who ends up wearing the cost increase comes down to 1) elasticity, 2) who has leverage and, 3 on the other hand, who has the balance sheet to use a secular cost increases to consolidate share. The bigger and stronger a player is, the most likely it is that for inelastic goods they eat cost or even lower prices to take share unless they think nobody else can. Contracts are unimportant. Most high volume relationships are done on what amounts to papered up handshake.
  5. Very underrated IMO Very overrated IMO Say more about this- what school, what’s your connection, where does it go, etc.
  6. Yeah and I’d like to talk through her options for MS-13 insurance.
  7. Who would they put in? I like Dodo but the lakers roster is dogshit outside of the top 4 guys.
  8. “they believed that they were making the best trade on behalf of the Denver Nuggets. Whether that turns out to be true, again, only time will tell.” - Adam Silver, probably
  9. Well, that’s enough internet for today
  10. Watching this game is so weird. The wolves are very good at every spot, and the Lakers only have one real starter-caliber player other than LBJ and Luka.
  11. How embarrassing, my gawd
  12. Looks like he’s smuggling hams into the park
  13. I grew up in tech. My Dad was an engineer in the HCF era, and I’m old enough to remember when I was a kid and they had ashtrays next to the dumb terminals in what would now be called “data centers.” I got my first job in tech in 1999 and spent the next 25 years at 5 companies. I left tech 18 months ago for a lot of reasons. I was running towards something more than running away from anything, and I would go back if I needed to, but from one old veteran to another, the ride is over. We had a hell of a run, though.
  14. Not related to politics exactly but Nissan needs to bring back the Xterra and launch a barebones Mini truck to compete with the Maverick.
  15. And a woman who’s a little plump, scotch girl, and a daughter who‘s thirteen.
  16. You try feeding that with a little 12oz roll. It ain’t gonna work.
  17. Agreed, we are not talking about the same thing. I understand your point. My point is that Christians have been spent the last 500 years beating each other up over your point, and should not do that.
  18. Ok, fine - BUT that line is for Christ to draw and for you to think about. If the church can and in fact does acknowledge that those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience may achieve salvation, SURELY those who think of themselves as Christians can acknowledge the same thing about other Christians, or at least spend more time consider the great beam in their own eye.
  19. And that’s something to meditate on, not a division bell. It is not for Christians to decide who is and is not saved.
  20. We are a department store and
  21. The left is getting better at growing beards and it’s making righties nervous.
  22. Again, this is academic and strikes me as the sort of thing that Jesus scolded the Pharisees and lawyers for obsessing over. I’m not saying it’s unimportant, but it’s a koan more than it is workable doctrine. This is what I mean about Christians screwing this up. Buddhists think about the question of one hand clapping and try to arrive at inner clarity. Christians take the question of faith vs works and burn cities to the ground.
