  1. Why nonsensical? The very Rome that executed Jesus had gay marriage. So did Egypt in the time of the Old Testament. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  2. No it wasn't. It was blue for a lot of those years. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  3. Exactly. But note the operative phrase in my post "everything else being equal." [emoji4] I'm talking about specialists so they're all board certified and clearly qualified. The do had to work harder to get that position at that hospital, and yeah if there's a disabled black gay Muslim Downs syndrome orthopedic surgeon and I need an orthopedic surgeon, you're damn right I'm going to think he's way better than anyone else at his job.

  4. My wife is a DO and she's the head of a department at a top hospital. She doesn't like osteopathic manipulation and thinks it's BS, but I was listening in science Friday last week and they had the scientist on who discovered that new organ recently, and he said its existence makes it look like osteopaths were right all along about some of their claims that MDs had been dismissive of. Also suggested the same regarding acupuncture. Personally I try and go to DOs for whatever specialist I need because given the historic discrimination against them, I figure all other things being held equal, an MS and a DO in the same position, the DO is probably better because of having to prove themselves more to overcome the stigma.

  5. I want it to be Austin, and I want there to be demand because of it to build a fast train from SA to Austin. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  6. I also really want to figure out a sweet RFID solution that i'll have with me at all times in the house (put one in my PJs waistband or something?) so I can program my house to behave certain ways as I move around, like when I get out of bed it heats up the espresso machine so i can brew as soon as i get down there, etc. oh yeah i have one of the nest thermostats that will turn the AC/heat on when i'm on my way home, which is pretty neat in theory but since we have pets that we spoil it doesn't get used in practice
  7. wemo plug with an IR heater plugged in sitting in the garage facing my home gym so i can get the barbell warmed up before i go out in 10 F weather to lift a number of lifx wifi lights (no hub required) that will do any color + IR ibaby monitor with night vision, temp/humidity/VOC sensors, etc. soil moisture sensors + automated sprinkler system that i can control via web interface or API calls I built myself a number of docker containers running designed by me, one for example watches the network for IIRC ARP packets from those amazon clicker things, one of which i used months ago to mark when our baby started or stopped drinking a bottle and then i could pull up a graph later long term i plan to have sensors for all circuits in the house to monitor electricity use, primarily so when my wife says "your computer is on too much" i can point out how very little power computers use compared to refrigerators and shit Edit: also alexa with some custom apps i wrote to help me cook hands free using recipes, a Zipp Mini smart speaker that I have some code on my network running to stream white noise to when I put the baby down for a nap, i think some other things I basically dick around coming up with Doc Brown bullshit in my copious free time
  8. I've been wondering if he even bothers to pay someone to pick the equipment up or if he's fine with knowing he can fuck it at any time
  9. Also one app that manages many of your forum memberships instead of having to remember a fuckload of passwords and shit.
  10. oh but `wget --mirror --page-requisites --adjust-extension --no-parent --convert-links -l4 http://www.shaggytexas.com/board/forumdisplay.php/19-Classics` would probably do what you need, I'm guessing, but it'll download extra stuff too the -l4 part tells it don't follow more than four jumps/links away from the initial URL and it downloads all the images and javascript necessary for the pages
  11. I'm running a mirror script on the old site in case this doesn't happen. If no one transfers it over, I can make it available on Github or something later for anyone to download and check out. If you download it and then run `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000` and then in your browser go to `http://localhost:8000` it'll be just like you're on the Shag. But the mirror isn't done yet, and if it doesn't finish before the server goes down, then it's not happening. But yeah, my second thought after seeing blacklab's post about this shitshow (first was "time to scrub my shit off the site") was that the hilarious dick comics and classics need to be preserved.
