  1. This. The Russians blew up the existing operational pipeline, with the intent of freeze and squeeze Europe, then proffer the "There's this other pipeline that's available, turn it on and let's get you all warm and hooked on our sweet, cheap NG again" Sometimes this shit is not that hard.
  2. As one does…
  3. One of my perspectives about Biden is his administration in some areas is absolutely driven by his own personal views and passions. The Obama administration was a technocrat administration that also constantly tasted the wind of politics. Biden is much more likely to act in a way that is personal to the President. And this issue is a perfect example. I think Biden personally hates the idea of legalization. I wouldn’t be surprised if behind closed doors he calls it wacky weed, Mary Jane, and marijuana cigarettes unironically. And the best you’re going to get out of his presidency is quiet acceptance if Congress were to ever send him something with overwhelming majorities. OTOH, I’ll bet real money he commutes to life sentences everyone on federal death row before the end of his presidency.
  4. Well now, hold on. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, maybe we are overthinking it.
  5. I can’t remember where I saw it last night but the Pentagon actually talked the White House out of shooting it down. Basically they don’t see it as threat at all, and juice isn’t worth the squeeze cost wise or the rare chance the debris could cause ground damage. Edit: looking at that flight map, I’m sure it would also disrupt travel because they’d have to clear out a lot of commercial traffic, just to be safe.
  6. All I know was in the 90s I flew home from Bates specifically for the Baylor game n Austin because the Baylor girls that came down were such sluts once they got out of Waco. True to form, I absolutely disrespected somebody’s daughter on Friday night. And Richard Walton came in and won the fucking game.
  7. The Magicians did an episode called “A life in a day” where two characters are trapped in a pocket world and build an entire life and death together. It was also similarly very touching and well done.
  8. I saw that. It’s the little things.
  9. The hazard of the 3 days later. Still: flour.
  10. So I finally see episode 3 and drop in here to discuss how it’s a great episode with an excellent love story, and expect a bunch of prepper talk. Instead I get an argument about flour and the origin of the zombies. Never fucking change.
  11. Do I Think certain NFL teams get a sorta standard raw deal (no holding, trigger happy delay of game, bullahit PI) because they’ve gotten crosswise with the league (Saints, Raiders) or others have ownership groups that are seen as core to the business (Giants, Patriots, Steelers) and get a bit more leeway? Yes. But in general, humans are terribly fallible. Cock up before conspiracy.
  12. As a Texpat who has spent decades living in a place with real winter weather: ITS STOPPING, not going, that is the hard part in icy weather. None of y’all have proper winter tires and your 4x4 system and big pick up don’t mean shit when you hit the brakes. Stay home until the temps get up and you get a proper melt.
  13. We gonna do the Shaggy Engineers vs. Liberal Arts/Plan II bit again, huh? Maryland removed the requirement for college degrees for non specific government jobs a couple of years ago: https://www.npr.org/local/305/2022/03/16/1086860660/maryland-will-no-longer-require-four-year-degrees-for-thousands-of-state-jobs
  14. You know I love you brother…
  15. I worked in a shitty kitchen once where butrock was the only thing everyone could agree on. I listened to a lot of KLBJ that summer. If I never hear "More than a Feeling" again, it'll still be too soon.
  16. You are essentially making a sauce Mornay every time you make queso (bechemel+cheese). You could try some sort of colby jack maybe? It won't have American or Velveeta's unctuousness, but it should be a close-ish approximitation. Or a combination of mild cheddar, colby jack.
  17. Yes. The Foo Fighters are basic butrock. "Welcome back folks. That was Dave, Taylor and the boys bringing us out of that 45 minute rock block. It's now 9 pm and courtesy of our friends at Patterson Chevrolet, it's time to GET THE LED OUT! KBSurl, NOTHING BUT ROOOOOOOOCK......"
  18. I enjoyed it as a truly unique and creative movie. It got quite dusty in my house during the Rocks scene as well as the entire parental relationship aspect as as an empath who was raised by a emotionally distant parent. I also thought is was excellent to shoot Michelle Yeoh in a different beauty configurations so we could see how what is an objectively beautiful famous human can look different depending on stagecraft/framing/lighting/outfit/make up, etc. I also found myself being more than a bit annoyed with several stretches in the movie. In particular, the hot dog fingers began to wear on me as the movie went on, despite the plot twist at the end that showed it's relevance. I thought the Jamie Lee Curtis/Michelle Yeoh romantic story line was just bloat: it was an easy editorial cut that could have shaved 15 minutes off the movie with virtual no impact. The initial hotdog scene was more than enough. From a multiverse perspective: it was better than Dr. Strange, but the animated Spider Man movie is still just in another league. I applaud the filmmakers for making a truly innovative movie. But it wasn't nearly the home run I expected and doesn't come close to the overall brilliance of Tar.
  19. There was play early in the game where Chris Jones had a free run at Burrow (who was trapped with the ball) after beating the guard and just bear hugged him for like 2 seconds until the ref blew the whistle. Even 10 years ago he would have blown him up.
  20. I don’t love what happened to Ossai, and honestly, it was a bang bang play and it wasn’t an unreasonable call, but as a Saints fan, watching ya’ll realize the NFL may not be on the up and up:
  21. This. The Su-25 is no slouch in the ground support department and they’ve been rendered practically useless above a hard ceiling of about 100 feet.
  22. Lol, the Swiss must have finished stealing and hiding whatever Russian assets got trapped and are now ready to move forward.
  23. I can't believe I'm saying this.....but take it to CR. Or maybe the football board. Both are equally full of sewage.
