    Sigh. I served on student government with this guy, and he was my next door neighbor for a few years. I was too busy drinking Bill Clinton’s liquor to really notice his wackiness, but in hindsight I am not surprised.

    Edit - my opposite side neighbor was David Crowder.

    Like I implied, it was an uneventful trip, probably took several weeks. They would have looked like warmed over shit wearing the clothes on their back. 

     

    Seems like I remember somebody telling me you can't really go more than about 20 miles per day on horseback without killing your horse. (Horse people correct me if I'm wrong). 

    So 850 miles at lets be generous and say 25 miles per day = 34 days of travel. Add in extra days getting over the Cascades, foraging, whatever. 

    25 miles a day,  for 34 days straight, even on horseback for most of it, will ruin a person.

    And crawfish Louisiana does not operate as smoothly as lobster Maine.

    Despite all of my city’s misgivings, this quote from a gentleman living in New Orleans in the 1870s is as accurate an assessment of my opinion and feelings as I could write.

     

     

    New Orleans is a comfortable metropolis which has a certain apathy and stagnation which I find inoffensive.

    Because people don’t want to get picked up four hours before their flight to be taken on a tour of the city picking up strangers on their way to the airport.

     

    many years ago I took a supershuttle from cascade locks oregon to the portland airport. This is a perfect description of that journey. 

    But it was only like 15 dollars for the ride.

    Probably around the same time Surly was stanning for a drunken asshole pitmaster and an anti-tow truck rock thrower.

     

    I don't remember the pitmaster thing. Cliff notes?

    I haven't seen this mentioned yet, granted I skipped the arguing back and forth crap.

    Didn't a requirement go into effect for the 2017 model year and beyond which required backup cameras in all vehicles? Did I miss something on that front after that time? I haven't kept up on that aspect of vehicles since I last purchased one.

     

     

     

    Not sure it was all vehicles. 

    If it applies to the slate, then it will have one. When it says "no screen" they aren't referring to the little camera screen. And it definitively isn't a touch screen, which has got to be the most regarded, unsafe thing you can put in a car.

    The only real threat he seems to hold is to primary you with a lunatic candidate. If you aren't a pol, who cares. 

    Otherwise he just talks stupid shit online and with the occasional unconstitutional EO. 

     

    Other than that whole threatening note taped to your office door with a picture of you walking your dog taken from a drone thing. 

    Or the magats breaking into your house with hammer thing. 

    Or...

    Warfighters. It’s all about the warfighters. Like those who died when the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor on June 7, 1941.  A date that shall live in esteem.

    Yeah, I always wonder about doing a polar plunge because the water temperature might actually be "better" than the air.  

    Conversely, going into BSP when the air is 105 is maybe more of a shock.  BUT, once you get used to it, swim around and then get out, the 105 feels way way better.  

    Might need to go this weekend.  It was great 2 weeks ago!

     

    Definitely try the polar plunge, at least once. Just have towels and warm clothes ready as soon as you get out. 

    But stay in that "warm" feeling water for any length of time, you quickly realize, yeah, its still pretty fricking cold.

    Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how to interpret exactly what he said.

    He's a middle aged white dude, small-medium business owner, Fort Worth suburb.  Probably Trumpy.

    His comment could be interpreted as I'm one of the orange mongoloid's loyal soldiers fighting it out against Jynna and our other enemies.

    Or, I'm getting fucked in a trade war that we and I didn't want and didn't start.

     

    Probably both. Oh well, leopards gotta eat too.

    RGV mexicans are going down with ship. Loving trump shows they're more white than mexican and that's everything to that group 

     

    Its a song as old as time this country. Outgroups stop being outgroups by becoming "white". Happened to the Irish, then the Italians, now its happening to Hispanics/Mexicans. Unfortunately right now, being "white" means voting R. 

    Not sure what the blacks are going to do.

    Fucking idiot.  I hope he ends up homeless.  Wonder where he'll hand his dotard flag then?

    Homeless?  He'll be lucky if that's his fate.  Deported to a gulag is more likely.

    Maybe you can store that flag up your ass.

     

    Maybe he can hang it in his cell in his El Salvadoran prison?

    Or those psychopaths that polar plunge in it new years day.  Nope.....

     

    I used to lifeguard at BSP. I'd have to open up a few times at 5 am, even in the winter. If I was 5 minutes late, there would be a line at the entrance of pissed off olds. If I was 15 minutes late, the olds would start climbing the fence. The thought of one of them falling a breaking a hip because I was late was pretty good motivation to get there on time. 

    Anyway, I did a lot of polar plunges during the winter at 5:05 am. Nothing wakes you up and kills that hangover better. 

    When its really cold outside, the water is warmer than the air, and you don't feel the cold until you get out of the water. 

     

     

    But yes, I miss BSP more than anything else about not living in Austin any longer. Except perhaps Hamilton's Pool.

    I think the issue is battery life cycle.  A NMC battery will putter out after significantly fewer charges than a LFP battery.  It's a slightly higher performer, but will need to be replaced much sooner.

    And depth of discharge. And general safety. And it basically degrades like shit even after getting to 80%, it falls off a cliff, lithium keeps going for a while.

    It's a mix.

    Tesla uses LFP for their shortrange model 3 and Y, and NMC for the longer range versions.  Rivian uses LFP.  Chevy Equinox and Blazer use NMC, Nissan Leaf has historically used NMC but is supposed to be switching to LFP in 2026, BMW i3 uses NMC.

     

     

    Hmmm.
