  1. has anyone seen gunther eagleman and putin in the same room at the same time? jesus christ these guys are weird.
  2. this feels like a bucket list type thing. in the middle of the desert and there's a 1000 foot long nuclear powered harbinger of death.
  3. i don't think i want to know why there's 10 page thread about blake lively
  4. Did you do literally anything else at all last year?
  5. Read first 3-4, read the Wikipedia entries for the next 5-6, then pick up the Sanderson books. Edit: I recall the prequel book being a decent read
  6. Totally forgot a second season came out, apparently hadn't watched the final episode of the first season either, and just spent a bit over a week running through 9 episodes. Second season effects and pacing were much better. Not sure what it says about the show when the antagonists are pretty much all far more interesting characters than the protagonists.
  7. So, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.?
  8. Heard this story on Texas Standard this week about what happens when ICE raids meatpacking plants out in small town Texas. Hint: it ain't natives who show up for job interviews. https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/cactus-texas-immigration-raid-slaughterhouse-2006-panhandle/
  9. DOGE apparently has God mode to pretty much all federal systems. Which means the systems, from a security standpoint, are all irrevocably compromised and will have to be rebuilt from the ground up at great expense to taxpayers. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43112084
  10. The GOP pledged to plant a trillion trees to combat climate change. There's currently about 3 trillion trees on earth. Where the fuck are they going to find the space to plant an additional trillion? It's not a serious solution, it's just a side show that they never plan on following through on, much like Hyperloop and the 1994 GOP health plan.
  11. This is r/conservative not bleak?
  12. "eggs cost so much that alex bregman could only afford to buy 5 million dozen a year"
  13. Had more than a few bacon dogs in Oakland last summer. Watch out for the serranos.
  14. must notify abusive parents if the kid is trans, but don't dare tell the parents if students are abusive
  15. When you text customer service and immediately get 4 messages back, the first that your message has been received, the second from a 'person' who introduces themselves, a third from said 'person' who says they will be happy to help, and then a fourth from said 'person' asking if this is my preferred phone number. Motherfucker that could have been one, maybe two messages, and I wouldn't have had to hear 4 notification dings in short succession. And no, I don't want you to email me, I gave you a burner phone number and that should be good enough. Also that there's no setting on my phone that will automatically suppress notification dings for the next few minutes after one is received unless i reset it by checking the notifications in between.
  16. his brain is utter mush. and has been for years. person woman man camera tv
  17. Someone still clapped
  18. It's not like oil production doesn't have an issue with light pollution - the flaring in the Permian is unbelievable flying over west Texas at night The point isn't that wind or solar doesn't have these issues, it's that it's so much of the pot calling the kettle black. Frankly I think the ruined view argument is overblown by developers who don't want coastal wind. The view from Galveston already has a shit ton of lights from platforms and ship traffic.
