  1. I happen to agree, but in a odd fortuitous moment I was burning some time in Laguna Beach and opted to stroll the Laguna Beach Art Museum. They had a full installation of Helen Lunderberg I was absolutely amazed and impressed by her work. yeah yeah take it to the art nerd sub /thread derail
  2. I noted it in my post in the last page but the number I'm getting is 10-15 from manufacturers before yesterday. I've been telling client 30-40% and that my estimate is conservative as it doesn't account for any shortages in supply chain nor opportunistic price gouging in channel. The buying is at a flurry pace to get shit in ASAP. The downstream effect concerns me... I'm using the word "concerns" to act manly and not go full edge lord/ @Brisketexan But... I'm getting pretty close.
  3. @956 Worldwide chrome hubcaps onto their clapped out Altima equation This needs way more love! @Brisketexan I've said it here before and I don't know numbers but there is a massive gap between demand for manufacturing workers and supply. These aren't all the old school assembly line gigs most people think of, though many are those too. Some are assembly line management gigs ($150-200). In other news, distribution was flying lots of red flags today, not surprisingly, proactively urging to margin protect on upcoming projects. The price increases have already arrived. Prepare your anus!
  4. Won't you think of the maple trees and bourbon?
  5. The word you're looking for is Crypto.. and I would be lying if at this point I wasn't considering creating $Maga rug pull.
  6. That was just a coincidence!
  7. What, are you new here? Do you think this is Nahm? There are rules! Pics or it didn't happen. :::Is pretty sure he's the only poster curious what the dice look like:::
  8. No full RPGs in your mix, I'm pulling your nerd card! D&D or bust, mix in some old school Cyberpunk, want to play out your inner edge lord Twilight 2000 still exists where you get to fight Ruskies.
  9. Dear Mr Trump, Have you bothered to ask them why people from Kentucky are against tarriffs on Canada? Turns out those tarriffs directly negatively impact the lives of their constituents and their constituents businesses. Now, I know I am going to sound like a crackpot nut job here, but maybe, just maybe, sometimes some politicians are against legislation or political moves that hurt their constituents. You know, constituents, the people that voted them into office. Crazy talk!!
  10. The world is coming together. I mean centuries of hate between Japan and China overcome by rational, sane and reasonable economic decisions.
  11. I'll go with Dengue Fever for $500 Ghost Alex to align to the odd obsession of @InkaUtexas
  12. Its sure to be great news!!!
  13. I bite their calves. Found it really drives home the point.
  14. You neglected to include Pedo state and MSU. Those are important to include when discussing complete and total lack of moral guides.
  15. Sadly, I have friends that pretty much only communicate via Facebook DM.... its really all I use it for at this point.
  16. So would one from a university just up the road from them in Vanderbilt, one in Houston called Rice, a goofy one in California that goes by Tree, Texas, MIT, Michigan, Northwestern etc. Specifically given he wants to be in the tech world, I'd argue a lot of those are actually far better choices. Nashville is a booming tech market, but apparently driving 2 hrs north is out of the question. That guy is full of shit.
  17. He was innocent and unjustly fired!!!! Don't forget Beard also "gets it", domestic abuse charges out front should have told you.
  18. Well, its been a minute and Valerie is growing up fast! She definitely has the verbal aspects of an Australian Shepherd. Darlene the redneck princess has had to adjust from being an only child, to dealing with an extremely energetic, talkative, playful and driven pup, who lacks the fear emotion apparently. There are good times between them though.
  19. Or like one of my friends that was in HVAC cluster at my high school, yes, we were a vocational magnet HS. I went off to Texas, he took a paid internship at this little company call Honeywell. I went on to get a degree and work for the state in mental health, making ungodly money. He was making 6 figures running a team for said little company. Don't disagree with your broader point, just saying not all paths need to lead to universities for success and money.
  20. The problem is substantially more complex than just the race issue. It starts with this country's long term denigration approach to blue collar work, lack of vocational training in k-12 like every other modern country in the world, a continued, on going insistence that everyone should get a university degree, entitlement to said degree, and the move to a profit driven university model. I went to a minority high school in the 80s and the top kids got major scholarships to universities. With the mass demand of college bound kids, increasing costs, racial issues, entitlement, zero support by any political side of a vocational track in our early educational system and lack of funding relative to the increased demand and rising cost, you're bound to see a lot more vitriol, and we have. It, like all major issues, is never a simplistic single item causality, and to try and make it one is a huge issue in our world today. Complex issues are complex, the cause and solutions are never 1 thing, but by god, we try to make it about 1 thing because its easier than actual discussion of the nuance and particulars.
  21. Lying, cheating and theft are just fine, but assault (note, not domestic abuse, but assault) is bad. See, that's the aggie way!!! Also, if said abusive liar and cheat is successful we would hire him back... because he wasn't at all successful when he was at Texas the first time prior to getting fired for.. wait for it... domestic abuse.
  22. Why do you believe he has to win to be immune to criticism for domestic abuse at aggie?
  23. Yeah, like Ohio State you also get the "townies" from ATL. I personally think the grads are arrogantly insufferable, but not dangerous. Saw a few shit talking sessions rolling out of the SEC champ game. Ended up connecting with a townie and going out for a while on the way out. So... I guess I am a complete hypocrite in hating their arrogance, warning of their insufferable nature, then connecting with one after the game for a calm bar room gibberish session on college football. Dammit! Sure sounds like Im a gay too... nttiawwt.
