  1. I only read the first few. They're not terrible, they're just entirely unrealistic. If everybody abided them, it would be a great forum. But they apparently aren't familiar with how the internet works. They could have a dozen mods working 24/7 and couldn't achieve their goal.

    Holy shit, I knew they were a menace there but I had no idea there were so many.

    The math doesn’t seem quite right. They said 1,600 people went out and only found 68 pythons. Seems like they should’ve found way more than that

  3. What a crazy storm. Just under two inches at my house in South Austin. Over 6 at my sister’s house in North Austin. They ended up with 2+ inches in their house and have to move out for a month while all the flooring and most of their walls are replaced. They’d just finished a full remodel and only been in there for a couple months.

    So this is pretty much a non-issue except as it relates to contact sports, right?

    Like it's awful he can't play football for a lot of reasons, but he has every opportunity in the world to have a successful life otherwise?

    That’s going to depend on severity. He can have a successful life in that it’s not going to kill or paralyze him, but some people have a lifetime of chronic pain.

  5. This is the weirdest thunder I’ve ever heard. Been sitting outside for a bit listening to the game. After a while I started thinking it hadn’t stopped thundering for a while. Started the stopwatch on my phone at that point and I’m at 13 minutes and counting without a break in the rumble. But the weird thing is that it sounds more like fighter jets circling than thunder. And explosions in the distance. It’s unsettling

    All of these shows are terrible and not funny. Late night comedy used to be good about a decade ago when it wasn’t 100% political and so biased. 

    John Oliver is close to being decent (he has his moments) but even he has turned Comedy Central with so much of his content being the democrat party line lately.

    Late night comedy shows make jokes about what is topical and relevant. As that pertains to politics, their jokes focus on whoever is currently in office. There wasn’t as much with Obama because he was pretty boring from a comedic standpoint, but Bush and Clinton provided tons of material. They have done this for as long as I can remember. It’s not bias when they do the same thing to everyone.

    There are few things in life more satisfying than cutting all that line off as you say “fuck it, I needed to replace that line anyway.” I’ve never had one THAT bad, but still...

    Yep. It only happened because there was a snag in the line. Glad I discovered it now before I had a big fish on.

    If Latinos we're to go to England and take over and start discrimination practices against the white English you better fucking believe the English whites are going to band together and fight back. 

    Why mention England? That’s exactly what the Trumpkins believe is happening here, and it’s the bedrock of his base.
