  1. I think it looks like a US Capitol Police car.
  2. I've heard they are finished but are holding back the release while they figure out how to make it maroon.
  3. Definitely uneven distribution. I'm in DC with no health issues and they are saying it will be at least mid April. Wife who has health issues was fully vaccinated in February. I'm waiting my turn but it's annoying hearing people in other states who seem to be able to get a vaccine on demand
  4. Wife to son: How did you do in Biology today? Son: I think I did alright. Wife: I know, it's the vein of your existence. Me: The what of his existence?? Wife: Vein! Is that not right? I was laughing too hard to respond further.
  5. -22 in Lake Louise, Alberta. I was snow skiing and moisture in my eyelashes would freeze inside my goggles. 116 a couple of times in DFW area. The most memorable heat for me was Six Flags a couple of years ago when it was 112 or so. It took me a few days to recover from that. Never again.
  6. This is interesting thought. If I remember correctly, Dodds said the original idea was to create a platform to get more of the tier two sports publicized and he originally approached the A&M AD about doing it together and they declined. He didn't think it would make that much money but ESPN eventually came and threw money bags at us and the Longhorn network came to be. You would think there could have been some happy medium where we forgo some portion of the $20mm and make some content that people may want to watch. Maybe they should consider treating it more as a marketing tool and less like a revenue source. Probably too far down the road now.
  7. Does it give anyone else pause that Randolph Duke is working on a longform piece? Does Surly have the bandwidth?
  8. I'm all in on the Canecutter plan.
  9. And tweets are back
  10. Not seeing tweets either. I'm using mobile
  11. I think this is a good idea, but the other side is going to pull out the section where Trump said, "make your voices heard patriotically and peacefully." There are reports that when his aides urged him to make a statement, he initially refused and said something to the effect of, "why should I, nobody said anything during the black lives matter protests?" He finally went out and made a video but he ad-libbed said "you are all very special and we love you." If they could get someone who was in that room to testify against Trump, I think that would help. I wonder if any of the cabinet members who resigned were in the room?
  12. I've heard this 51 votes to bar form office, but I am not seeing it here. U.S. Constitution | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress Clearly, in the section on impeachment it takes 2/3 of the Senate. If convicted of insurrection by 2/3, he's guilty of insurrection and the 14th amendment kicks in barring him from future office. If I'm missing it, I would love someone to point me to the document because I don't think they are getting 2/3. Too many Republicans seem to be chicken shit.
  13. So glad we didn't end up in what has become a mess of a conference. Work is cut out for the next commissioner. Canzano: Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott is out -- and it’s about time - oregonlive.com
  14. You guys who use the DSLR, do you ever try to use the LCD screen to shoot?
  15. I'm quoting this because it's easy to skip over a lot of this stuff. There is valuable insight in this article.
  16. I can confirm they aren't sisters but must be distant relatives. She is fluent. Over the years, I've just learned to understand and correct as little as possible while hoping she doesn't speak off the cuff too often in social situations.
  17. Too bad you can't see some of the other threads around here. I'm pretty sure he's not jealous. But hey, enjoy the herpes.
  18. Her: This virus is spreading like Wildflower! Me: Like what? Her: Is that not right?
  19. I know you can't customize for every single person, but at the top of the screen (on mobile), the second button from the left goes directly to my activity stream. If we can't have the arrow, could we get a button that goes to my activity stream at the bottom? That's why I liked the arrow so much, it was easy to get back to my stream. Edit:. It appears the bottom button does just that. Apologies, I don't need the arrow.
  20. My MIL always asked these same questions in the same order. The next question was always, "why would anyone want to watch them?"
  21. I was so anxious to throw money away I didn't even know there was a game tomorrow. I agree less than 10 is winner take all.
  22. Damn, I know people are stupid. But I have truly underestimated the stupidity of a large amount of people. I clearly need to be even more cynical, I never believed somebody so amazingly stupid, so publicly, could win something like this.
  23. No shit. Not sure if it's the same guy every year, but he comes out about halfway through the bowls criticizing strategy. I guess picking them all correctly and assigning them points based on your confidence requires some advanced rocket surgery. I'm pretty sure he has never won either.
  24. I'll be in to lose $25 to close out this clusterfuck of a season.
