  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. You know I love you brother…
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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......"
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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:
  10. 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.
  11. Lol, the Swiss must have finished stealing and hiding whatever Russian assets got trapped and are now ready to move forward.
  12. I can't believe I'm saying this.....but take it to CR. Or maybe the football board. Both are equally full of sewage.
  13. Spending that kind of money on a depreciating asset doesn’t float or fuck is beyond me.
  14. All I know is I hate people parking next to me and will park in the most remote corner of any lot so it doesn’t happen…..and yet that’s the one day you fatasses decide you need some exercise and park your Canyonero next to me.
  15. The Paris Effect. Go to Paris, eat rich, high caloric food. Drink tons of delicious cheap wine. Come home 3-5 lb lighter because you were walking between 4-8 miles a day.
  16. This. The Arabian Gulf states are unique in not at least wearing a fig leaf (Dynastic Kingdoms gonna Kingdom). Although MBS is in the process of turning Saudi Arabia from a Dynastic Kingdom into just a straight strongman autocracy.
  17. I’ve spent years telling people you have to separate the art from the artist, but holy shit this is putting that to the test. Fucking gross.
  18. Yeah, Jim Banks is running for Senate in Indiana, is a hard core GOP member, and I'm sure will be quick to note the opportunities available in Lima from a potential Tank deal.
  19. Sadly, most of us us live in urban areas.
  20. If it's a mostly weapons purchasing package, meaning defense manufacturers are putting people to work, as opposed to cash transfusions or pulling stuff out of storage, you may be able to talk enough GOP members in the house into supporting something with the Dems that McCarthy will put it on the floor.
  21. It's incredibly un-nerving. You are turning and the car just....doesn't turn. It plows forward even though the front wheels are literally pointing to the right or left. The solution is to loosen/lighten your grip on the wheel, let it spin back towards center and straighten the tires, re-establish grip, then re engage your turn.
  22. I don't think anyone is questioning your ownership of a truck. It's the guy that's never put anything in the back of the thing other than a suit case that is the target.
  23. At the Porsche driving experience, they have two completely different skid pads to simulate over and understeer. I mastered the oversteer pretty quickly: my Mom's car that I learned to drive on was an 80s caprice that would lose the rear everytime you braked in wet weather so I was pretty used to it. The Understeer was harder to understand and master, even though all my cars are FWD. The instructor said it's because it's harder to put a passenger car into understeer under normal driving conditions. You have to really push the car to edge of it's performance envelope to make it happen. It's part of the reason it's standard on almost all cars: better grip and normal driving handling characteristics.
