  1. I don't know the best thread for this but shockingly it's another magat politician pedo...
  2. Congrats, everybody! tv video
  3. This nazi happens to work in Dallas https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/
  4. I'm going to try to get the stone to about 900, which according to what I've read will get there with the grill temp set between 350 and 400 (edit - maybe hotter). I think it was from this thread that I saw someone rec'd an infrared thermometer and I took that advice. I haven't found many user reviews so I have a low degree of confidence in what I'm doing. Here's an example of the oven in action.
  5. Just got an outdoor pizza oven last week and making dough for the first time today. Caught up on the past 6 or so pages of this thread. Purchased a pizza oven that fits into a Recteq grill last week. I had been looking at the Ooni Koda2 and some other pricier one that Costco had but this way I didn't have to add more furniture to the patio and it's cheap enough that if I feel the need to upgrade outdoor ovens later, I won't be too sad. For the first attempt going with a cold fermentation/high temp outdoor oven crust recipe from Serious Eats https://www.seriouseats.com/basic-pizza-dough-for-high-temperature-outdoor-pizza-ovens-5211302 Made up a batch today. First bake is planned for tomorrow. Made enough dough for 6, 12" pies so barring complete catastrophe, I have enough on-hand if things don't go so well.
  6. The Boebert family's crime spree continues https://www.westword.com/news/lauren-boeberts-son-now-facing-child-abuse-charge-25141015
  7. This app could have been helpful for my sister, who dated a real piece of shit who broke her arm last year. After it became "public" she heard from some of his exes. If you're a dude who has girls who are friends, you would easily find out if someone posted about you on there. If you're a pos who has no girl friends, well I guess you'd be SOL.
  8. I guess your intent is to speak very broadly but I'm confused why you felt compelled. She was interviewed in order to assess her ability and willingness to eventually provide an alibi for Trump. End of. (And yes I realize there's jailhouse snitches or circumstances where they want to bust someone higher up the food chain due to new evidence they've obtained but neither is at play here.)
  9. There's absolutely nothing normal about the interview and immunity she was granted. -she's a convicted sex trafficker and she's already been sentenced -acceptance of proffers and grants of limited immunity are tools for law enforcement to make cooperators in a criminal case, typically so they can work their way up the food chain of criminality -the Asst Attorney General who interviewed her was (maybe still is) Trump's attorney, so deeply conflicted -just taking the interview - let alone granting her limited immunity (hugely damaging the possibility of additional prosecution for the crimes to which she admitted in the interview) - is highly unusual and extremely corrupt. They didn't even discuss it first with the women who were victimized by Maxwell.
  10. Some of you seem to not understand that raising or maintaining high interest rates is one way the Fed slows the growth in the supply of money. It's one tool. Bank reserve requirements are another but the fact that they're going lower is indicative of who controls what in our current governance.
  11. According to a Canadian mill owner I saw interviewed a few months ago when the tragic tariff conversation began, the fluffiest tp only exists in the US thanks to imported Canadian pulp.
  12. Different sport but the convo above reminded about seeing it the other day.
  13. https://archive.ph/PE5Af beginning
  14. Also it takes a very special accountant to acknowledge the political independence of the Fed yet blame a particular president because they're a trained grievance monkey, and the appointment of the Fed Chair predates the president they blame anyway.
  15. Amusing but sad but amusing - admittedly I most likelly watched it only bc of the cute woman in the USC sweater
  16. TDS...tiny dick syndrome?? This is both hilarious and startling.
  17. Is crying about interest rates at the same time you're driving up home prices by raising taxes on things like copper and lumber being a good member of team #bothsides?
  18. OTOH LA grand juries are (rightly) frequently refusing the US Attorneys efforts to indict ICE protestors.
  19. This thought seems so quaint today: “The flood alert system is one governmental project that has proved necessary and beneficial to the people who pay for it,” the Kerrville Daily Times wrote in a 1991 editorial. “Whether that tax increase was necessary or whether funds could have been found elsewhere is merely an arguing point for curmudgeons.” In the following few years, the quality of governance in Texas would suffer a severe slide downhill. I'd pin it on the q-nut conspiracists but that's probably too simplistic. What Dick Eastland said in 1988 in advocating for a flood warning system, “If it saves one life down the road, it will be worth it,” makes me think about what he did/didn't do on the night of the floods, question why there wasn't decisive action, think about his decisions to get his property out of the FEMA flood zone, leave several of his cabins in the most precarious of positions while building new structures uphill, and wonder about the story his phone records on that night may or may not tell.

  22. There may be a decent overnight train to a destination you'd prefer. Worth checking.
