  1. Franklin called the time out?
  2. We're at half Greenspoint
  3. Nice throw. Really on target.
  4. That guy was peak Boston. Red Sox cap, Notre Dame pullover, probably Catholic, a ginger.
  5. This could be good but what a tough task to replace the best thing about the first season.
  6. mdleast and I were in LA this past November for the USC/UCLA game. We drove down Topanga Canyon Blvd because we wanted to do something different on our way to Malibu and like your kid and being from Dallas, the whole area is just magical to us. That entire region around Malibu that our drive emptied into might be gone and I can't imagine the sheer panic of trying to get out of there or any of those tight areas with just a few entrances and exits. It's just horrific to think about and I feel so sad for the people this has affected.
  7. mdmost is turbo-fucked today. I am completely out of alcoholic fluid and am telling people to divert some of their supplies to my house.
  8. Sunset Blvd winds through Pacific Palisades and goes all the way to the PCH through the area that was burned.
  9. I'm sure we'll find out next week. More likely he's a Ezra Bridger type who fell in with a group of pirates.
  10. This is a very interesting thread from the Director of UC Merced's Fire Resilience Center. Touches on a lot that has been discussed here already about mitigation.
  11. I believe that's the air crew out of Canada. Saw this shot on Twitter.
  12. It makes sense for them if they all live here. I doubt Texas is going to outbid Georgia or Vancouver for movies and shows.
  13. Reminds me of Gordon Biersch locations making here to DFW. Man, that scratched an itch for a time. We had a Shaggy Happy Hour at one in 2009. Now, they're all gone.
  14. If that picture is from this area that would be at Love Field (DAL) as that's the only place Southwest flies out of.
  15. James Mangold has said his movie will be 25,000 years into the past so he doesn't have to appease any current conventions of Star Wars. That's the way to go. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-mangold-star-wars-movie-handcuffed-lore-1236270341/ And sure there's a place for The Acolyte. Just don't write a shitty show that was confusing and contradicted itself for strange reasons.
  16. Sure, foundations are great. I'm talking more the hands on life of service Jimmy Carter led post-presidency. I just don't hear much about what Clinton does other than giving speeches. I guess health plays a factor and Carter seems to have been the healthiest of them all.
  17. That and the writing and motivations are so much better. The storyline is purposefully muddy. It reminds me a bit of the first season of Rebels.
  18. Ha. That was probably a thanks for taking one for the team.
  19. We also had a massive wildfire in the Panhandle because of aging infrastructure where a powerline fell down and ignited a blaze. I've seen controlled burns around Yosemite but I think that speaks to more it's not a huge residential area.
  20. Hunter should've given Trump the finger as he walked past him just now.
  21. Welcome to why driving in the Metroplex under any level of snow, rain, or ice is an issue. People simply do not know how to drive safely here. Keep your head on a swivel tomorrow.
  22. Marketplace had an interesting segment last night with a guy from the insurance industry about insuring wildfire areas. https://www.marketplace.org/2025/01/08/cities-cant-be-made-fireproof-but-they-can-be-made-fire-resilient/
