  1. Assuming there is no surprise, truly no weapons (can't pick up rocks, etc), I'm going with the gorilla. But in the "real" world, the gorilla would retreat faced with those numbers and humans would claim victory. If its some sort of make believe fight to the death, then gorilla.
  2. 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.
  3. 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...
  4. Member the meltdown on this board (or the scat board, whichever it was), when Austin voted NO to Uber? I member.
  5. The stupid, it burns. and the only war he's fought, and lost, is the war against fat.
  6. If billionaires gave two shits about democracy, they wouldn't be billionaires.
  7. 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.
  8. Probably both. Oh well, leopards gotta eat too.
  9. 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.
  10. These morons are going to keep on voting R. They'll just do it in a huff because they are pissed at doTARd.
  11. Maybe he can hang it in his cell in his El Salvadoran prison?
  12. 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.
  13. The "chief adult" wore a blue suit, chewed gum, looked at his phone, and fell asleep during Francis' funeral.
  14. i say we ship his ass to El Salvador
  15. perfect avatar- post alignment
  16. In post apocalypse, cordyceps change you.
  17. Yeah, same same for me. Bald, white, oldish, live in rural Texas, drive a pick up, wear cowboy boots fairly often, talk with a Texan drawl. Cowboy hat if out in the sun for extended periods of time (which is fairly frequently because of my job). I generally keep my politics to myself (irl at least), unless the other guy brings it up first. I'm old school in the sense that you don't talk politics or religion except to close friends/family. That's getting harder and harder to live by as shit keeps getting worse and worse. Cuts both ways, both conservatives and liberals mistake me for a conservative. Sometimes its funny, sometimes its annoying. Most times, whatever.
  18. Remember, its democrats who give away free shit to buy votes.
  19. Somebody on twitter please call that guy's wife a parasite (well, I guess now ex-parasite). Thanks in advance.
  20. The Slate makes 201 horsepower to the rear wheels, though zero to the front. This, to me, is the biggest negative I've seen so far. But I'd still consider it as a commuter vehicle.
  21. OK, 5 miles per hour of charging. My commute is ~10 miles (one way). So I could charge in 4 or 5 hours my commute plus a trip to the store. If I pick up a load of bricks or something, maybe that doubles to 10 hours of charge time. Still very doable. Park in the driveway. plug in. 10 hours later, I'm ready to leave for work, battery charged enough to get me to work and home and a few errands. Assuming the thing is reliable as an ICE vehicle, it makes sense to buy one as a daily commuter vehicle. Not getting the hate on this thing. Its no more or less dorky than half the POS I see on the road.
