  1. Hits close to home. I strained/tore my pectoral muscle earlier this year when my dryer buzzed for no reason as I was walking past the laundry room.
  2. Jesus, that's awful. The release point is basically the same as a punt. His passes have to get batted down constantly, right?
  3. OK, so it's a question about generating revenue without tons of ads. Here's my idea: 1) Create a hefty advertising budget from existing funds in the Burnt Ends account. 2) Use those funds solely to advertise on Surly. 3) Surly takes that money and puts it into the Burnt Ends fund. 4) Profit.
  4. I’m not entirely sure what question you’re asking.
  5. Truly stupid third guess. Had it in my head that there was only one possible 5th letter and just kept trying words to see what would be accepted.

  6. Could be total bullshit, but I remember reading somewhere that Germany may have a legal issue with providing Taurus due to the related software needed to operate it. Can’t recall the exact details, but I think it was something like β€œonce a country is given Taurus capabilities, they have the ability to counteract anyone else using Taurus missiles.” Because of that, their third-party contracts have a lot of guarantees to ensure Germany doesn’t just hand them out willy nilly. So there’s an enormous risk with them falling into the wrong hands. Again, that could be total bullshit

  8. This again? Hypothetically, if a species could create a space craft that could travel here, it doesn't mean they have perfectly mastered every aspect of it. Shit could've run into something in space and got damaged. Maybe they ran out of whatever substance they use for fuel. Maybe they were the first one from their species and their craft wasn't equipped to deal with something in our atmosphere. Maybe they were escaping a battle with another advanced species and their shit was damaged. Maybe the species is so advanced that all of them have some sort of space craft, but they don't all have top of the line shit. Could be an alien Lada. Could be drunk teenage aliens out on a joyride. As a species, we've got a pretty good grasp on air travel, but our planes still crash sometimes.

  17. Yes. It has been exceptionally bad today. Buzbee has wasted a TON of the prosecutions time making silly objections and shockingly getting a ton of them sustained. There were several times witnesses haven't even been able to testify to simple things occurring in their daily activities that are highly relevant. If they weren't so damaging, Buzbee wouldn't be going so hard to keep them out. Pretty much every witness so far is in Paxton's corner on a personal level, they're just being compelled to testify and aren't willing to lie under oath. I mean, shit, the guy today admitted that Paxton is basically a father to him, and that's the guy who Buzbee railroaded with objections the most. There's damn good reason for the rules of evidence in trials. But this isn't a real trial, and those justifications largely don't exist here. The time limits are a real problem in that regard. If this were a criminal trial, the defense and prosecution would generally have the right to call all these separate people to testify (which would take away the hearsay issue), but that's not permissible here. Because of that, the general rules on hearsay should've been broadened significantly. Honestly, most of these people already sort of know each other. If not directly, then they know someone who does. They can assess credibility a lot better than normal jurors hearing testimony from perfect strangers. They also understand the inner-workings of most of these offices, so they should be given broader leeway in that regard as well. In the end, this trial is for the public (and to provide cover for a few senators). Every senator knew how they were going to vote, whether that be: 1) guilty, no matter what, 2) not guilty, no matter what, or 3) let's see if the public comes out strong in Paxton's favor, and if not, then it's safe for me to vote guilty. Buzbee is doing a good job keeping out a lot of really bad looking stuff, but the prosecution has been able to get in a lot in spite of that. With the empty grandstands, the lack of protests, and the lack of support from many other high ranking Republican officials, I think any Senator that went in under the 3rd option should be feeling confident that they won't get meaningful backlash from their constituents. Honestly, they can probably spin it as an advantage, both locally and nationally, claiming that they're now the party of accountability and rule of law. "Hey, forget everything we've done as a party up to this point, we just impeached a highly popular Republican in deep red Texas. We do what's right, regardless of political affiliation!" They're gonna say that either way, just based on the fact they voted to impeach him, but a conviction makes it a much stronger argument since they've spent these past few days/weeks/years arguing that the impeachment is just another liberal witch hunt.
  18. Obviously it’s staged, but somebody like a maid or maintenance with a master key could do it. Or somebody who swiped it off one of those people. Or, next time you’re at a hotel, walk down the hallway with your keycard and see how many doors it opens. I guarantee you it will open a few. I’ve accidentally done it enough times to know it’s not just a coincidence.
  19. First of all, that looks like a raccoon. But more importantly, she said they didn’t expect the opossum to live. Obviously she’s never tried to kill one before

  22. Can't remember if I've responded to this yet. But she's out of the kill shelter and at a vet getting spayed. She has a lot of patches of missing hair, but it's not mange so that's good. She's staying with the vet for a few days for monitoring, but she should be coming home to us this weekend.
  23. Now, imagine you’re back in the 50s as a kid and somebody lectures you there wasn’t systemic racism anymore because they remember growing up when slavery was legal.
