    I can drive/turn the wheel, shower, carry milk, brush my teeth, and wipe my ass without pain although i have to be deliberate in my movements.

     

    So what's the problem then?

     

     

     

    Y'all need to stop stretching BEFORE you work out. Stretch at the end of the day before bed. 

    Warm up before lifting, but don't stretch.

    The other day I saw video of Emily Blunt almost exactly saying, "I want to have sex with HornOnTheBayou." Of course, so-called "fact checkers" will try to point out that she was playing a character in a movie and that she said her co-star's name, and not HornOnTheBayou. But we all really know what she meant. And for some reason, the lamestream media still won't report on it!

     

    Be honest, were you high when you heard Emily Blunt say that?

    That’s what I’m currently using. It’s free, unless you want to pick a specific country.

    That's what I use. The pay to play version. It's fast, but there are a goodly number of web pages that kick back when in use. Banking is one of them. I've found if I switch to a US first link it works or short term turn it off. Happy to learn of work arounds others might know for this issue, since this now seems to be the VPN thread.

     

    I use proton VPN. If you are hooked up through Poland or where ever, and that's not working because its not in the US, you can tell it to choose another ip. It'll randomly(?) pick another ip, and about half the time the ip is in the US. 

    I went ahead and paid, gets me the VPN and email, with I think 10 different addresses, and enough storage for me. Because fuck google.

    This actual quote was published in the 2000 Texas Monthly magazine story following the collapse of the bonfire: 

    It is not the Aggie spirit to accept defeat. We do not wish to have these fine Aggies who have given their lives to have died in vain. AGGIE BONFIRE MUST CONTINUE AND DAMN THE TORPEDOES. . . . there must be a continuation of Aggie Bonfires, even if it doesn’t seem wise.”

    An Aggie Dad

     

    I'm guessing it wasn't one of Aggie Dad's sons who died. 

    And aggy could win every football game starting the day after the collapse until the heat death of the universe, and they would still have died in vain.

    I'm all for nuclear energy. The problem will be finding people who want it in their city/county.

     

    I would be all in for nucular also, if it wasn't for:

     But I REALLY don't like the idea of our current grid operators that love putting off maintenance in charge of nukes. Absolutely needs to be better stewardship of what we already have in addition to nuclear baseline capacity 

     

    Instead of a grid failing because of our "business friendly" attitudes, it might be a meltdown. 

    I'm not even joking. I don't trust our state regulators to regulate dog catching, much less something that could cause serious  serious problems (even more serious than hundreds freezing to death during a freeze) when shit goes south.

    So not only does the state not inspect power lines nor have the power to compell companies to address risks before they strike and burn OVER A MILLION ACRES OF TEXAS, but theres a fundamental lack of clarity over who actually is in charge. 

    We are taking another spin on the Fuck Around and Find Out express

     

    This is the type of thing that should result in state elected officials (every single one of them from state dog catcher to governor) being chased out of office by torch wielding peasants. What the fuck are we, China?

    What did doTARd say to the juror?

    A lot of people are saying I'm one of the "Best" Defendents ever, top two or three, maybe even THE BEST EVER. A lot of people don't know that. I know more about being a defendent than anybody. I'm the KING of DEFENDENTS! Other Defendents come up to me, big tough defendents, straight out of Central Casting, tears in their eyes. "SIR!" they say. They always call me sir. "Sir! thank you for being the Best Defendent Ever!".

    making comments to a prospective juror that his attorneys are challenging. Nothing happens. News at 11.

    To be fair, this is something that used to happen, in the age  of rooftop antennas. Highly directional yagis had to be pointed at the signal source. Wind could blow them around like a weather vane and there was a decent market for rotators so you could point the antenna in different directions and get a good feed from all three stations...

     

     

    At grandma's house back in the day, they got two channels if it was pointed in one direction, or they could get a third channel if it was pointed in a different direction. Guess who's job it was to climb up on the roof and reposition the antenna when they wanted to watch that third channel?

    According to various tweets, Trump fell asleep and was drooling during the trial this morning.  According to others, he does not look good.

     



     

     

    defense council slipped him a mickey in his morning diet coke to shut him up.

    Absurdly shitty mileage for what you get put me off of it immediately.  Has the mpg of a full sized truck with little of the capability beyond an open bed area. 

     

    Quick googling tells me its right in line with other mid sized pick ups.
