    Unfortunately, Ron Howard is directing.  He does not have a history of making films with a lot of T&A.

    Tell me you didn’t watch the director’s cut of Apollo 13 without telling me you didn’t watch the director’s cut of Apollo 13.

    Not a big deal, just a nitpick, but I did feel like there were quite a few scenes where a character is portrayed as "one of the guys", or they're really sad about his death or something, and I'm sitting there thinking "wait who tf is that?".

    You should watch Masters of the Air.  It's another show set in the Band of Brothers Universe (BBU).  Feels like characters were being dropped from the series every episode.

  3. I joked about mocking the incels for not getting laid, but on a serious note - a lot of these people proclaiming themselves to be incels, whether publicly or not, probably need at least some pushback from somebody, because there is a shitload of overlap between the incels, Qanon/conspiracy types, etc.

    As mentioned earlier, they are going down Internet rabbit holes where nobody is challenging them.  25 years ago, if these people were spouting off insane bullshit about conspiracy theories that they were a victim of or whatever, a parent or sibling or other relative or friend or classmate would usually set them straight, or at the very least, they'd see the people around them not following the stupid bullshit they are pushing. And truthfully, some of that pushback would be basically bullying, as in "you're a fucking idiot for believing that, just lower your standards and go get laid you moron".

    Way too many of these incels, as well as school shooters, etc., all seem to have a problem of being enabled by those around them when it comes to stupid shit.  Maybe it's a parent who is too tired from work (or is ill-equipped) to monitor their internet habits or spend time with them and know what's going on with their lives, or they don't have a lot of people in their home lives who can either provide a role model for them, or at least keep them from buying into the shit like Andrew Tate, etc. are selling.

    Burgum - has a lot of money, not well known (which is good)

    Rubio - he's young and established so why taint himself with Trump when he could make a run at 2028?  Surely he can't be a pick to help with Florida, and he won't seriously help win over moderates with the batshittery that's happening around Trump. Trump couldn't count on him to do what Pence wouldn't do. He's more photogenic than Trump as well.

    Vance - yeah, great choice if you want to motivate a lot of people to vote against Trump, because he fully embraces the batshittery and wants to send women back to the 1860s.  With that said, because he fully embraces the batshittery around Trump, Trump would probably like him a lot.  He'd do what Pence wouldn't.

    Scott - South Carolina? Not a swing state, having a Black guy on the ticket still won't tone down the batshittery, especially when Scott wants a national abortion ban. He'd probably do what Pence wouldn't do.

    Burgum is the logical choice for Trump.  Not enough people know him, and he's not pushing a national abortion ban, and he's got money.

    Eh, I'll wait for AOC's or Boebert's outrage before I start white knitting over a photo that is obviously fake and not them.  Also, we're all on a forum with a section titled "I'd pee in her butt", so there is a certain amount of sexist/toxic male behavior that you accept and tolerate with your presence on surlyhorns.

    A Palace of Degenerates if you will.

    I like to think Cheryl Tiegs would have.

    National moods move left and right by a percent or two every year. Both of those states were razor close last time.

    I think a lot of female moods will drift Biden's way by more than a point or two in Arizona. 

    Yeah, the fact that the Arizona legislature is trying to get the 1864 stuff taken care of while Kari Lake and others are pushing to keep it is not going to help Trump.

    I will also reiterate, don't get them a phone until you feel they are ready for it.

    Yep, our soon-to-be middle-schooler is going to get an Apple Watch with a cell phone connection, which is not perfect, but we control the other devices that it will be connected to.  At least we can get a hold of him whenever we need to, see where he's at, see what his text messages are, etc.

    I just wish it had Pac-Man on it like the 80s kids watches that had it.

    Aqua Texas' actions caused Jacob’s Well to stop flowing on multiple days when it otherwise would have been flowing 

    Aqua Texas allegedly misrepresented the number of connections within its service areas when it requested authority from the PUC to sell water in those areas, claiming a smaller number than actually existed. Since that time, the number of connections the company represented to the PUC has grown by 65% - without the company ever demonstrating to the PUC it has an adequate water supply

    Aqua Texas' continual adding of customers in Hays County communities despite not having a legal water supply

    Aqua Texas don't give a fuck because they'll happily pay the fines and keep doing what they are doing.  Only way things would change is if somebody threatened to put an end to their business and that won't happen.  Jacob's Well this year, strict water rationing for non-Aqua Texas customers, etc.

    Because:

    The KVUE Defenders previously looked into the issues between the two after the utility over-pumped its water allotment in 2022, resulting in nearly half a million dollars worth of fines.

     Half-a-million in fines and they kept on doing it.

    i was just thinking this week that i've not seen lavrov in a while.  now twitter says he might be dismissed.

    If so, he would be the second or third high-ranking official dismissed in recent weeks.  Would be interesting given he is the public face of the Russian government at times.

    It only really gets uncomfortable when you are related to the someone's head on a pr0n star's body and you fap to it anyway.

    It’s perfectly fine if they are a step-parent or step-sibling, and stuck under a sink or in a home appliance.

    I think it's simply a case of insecurities. If you interact with young people they spend way too much time in their own world and simply don't know how to interact socially. Take a guy like that. No game. Socially awkward. Match him up with a girl who is also socially awkward due to the same reasons. They want to have sex, but just can't get out of the starting blocks. Time goes by. Insecurities build. More time goes by. Frustration sets in. So on and so forth.

    I know you know this having young adults, but these young folks are awkward as hell. Just watching them attempt to interact with each other is cringy. You can sit and watch them missing all the body language cues as well. Just flat out hard to watch.

    So should we track down those socially awkward people and bully pressure them on social media about getting laid, and tell them they aren’t a real man (or woman) if they aren’t having sex at least a few times a month year?

    A spokesperson for Avina in New Jersey, Karen White, said the company “takes seriously the water/energy nexus and is engineering the most water conscious plant design, opting for dry cooling, reuse and reduction wherever possible.”

    1 hour ago, MrBig said:

    In a March 6 email to Corpus Christi City Council, City Manager Peter Zanoni warned the Avina project could increase water prices to all city water users.  

    “The loss of millions of gallons of water a day will have an impact on our water supplies. To backfill that loss will potentially result in rate impacts to all [Corpus Christi Water] customers,” Zanoni wrote.

    People in Corpus Christi having their water supply reduced, while paying more for the water they get, because of some company out of New Jersey.
