  1. I'm OK with a site containing ads. What grilled me a bit about the ads on surly were the constant pop out video ads and particularly the ones that took up the entirety of the screen warning me about a computer virus, requiring me to back out of the page to get back to the content. I've never seen ads like that on any other site I've ever been on. Surly would be an ideal place for Longhorn-connected companies or those selling Longhorn gear could advertise without abusing the eyes too much. It may be less money than the previous ad mix brought in. But it would be something going to a good cause and more relevant to our interests.
  2. The new guy being a Crimean Tartar certainly sends a message about Ukraine's intentions toward the recapture of that peninsula. Hopefully his effectiveness matches the positive optics.
  3. Some context on the oil tanker, what it was up to and where it was hit.
  4. That Orban guy sounds like he sucks. We really need a mechanism in place to kick countries out of NATO. Europeans should consider the same for the EU. Hell, Turkey is presenting itself as less of an obstacle to European unity than Victor is right now.
  5. What does one do when a group points out that you don't crack down on online hate speech? Well, you sue that group of course! Free speech absolutism at its finest.
  6. Access to the building denied to inspectors two days in a row? Seems there is no permit (duh!). Claims the installation is temporary for an "event". Elmo remains a master businessman.
  7. Well, some numbers have been tossed around. For California alone this amounts to up to $800 billion (2-3 times the entire CA yearly budget) and somewhere between $1.2 million and $5 million per eligible person in the state. I'm not aware of a single reputable official who has backed this actually being enacted. The optics of coming out actively against it wouldn't play well I assume. I think most politicians are just expecting (and hoping) it will run out of steam.
  8. Maybe we just pick an Outback Steakhouse location at random along the coast and designate it sovereign territory.
  9. This has been attributed to multiple people in different forms over the years but I always recall the quote: When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do? With the benefit of made up alternative facts one never has to go through the painful process of changing one's mind. Advantage MAGA?
