  1. This week Arch is gonna go into Chow Yun Fat dual-wielding mode
  2. Did you watch Glengarry Glen Ross and come away with the opinion that the Alec Baldwin character was supposed to be anything other than a complete shithead?
  3. I bet that dude is pulling lots of coed ass at the dorm.
  4. Got just a 5 minute shower today, ground is already dry again. Austin will get widespread deep soaking rain soon right?
  5. Are menu prices at Indian restaurants going to go up?
  6. Laying the groundwork for overturning or nullifying the results of an election that doesn't go MAGA's way. #1 Enact rules to make it harder for voters who are not MAGA to register or vote. (Restrictive voter ID measures, selectively control polling locations, eliminate early voting, mail voting, etc.). #2 Make rules that dilute the influence of those voters, if they still manage to vote. (Gerrymandering, electoral college, etc.) #3 Establish mechanisms to overturn elections with an outcome you don't like, in case you still lose in spite of #1 and #2, #4 Do away with elections altogether?
  7. OK that was weird... there was a lag so I hit "reply" a couple of times and ended up with duplicate posts. Sorry!
  8. YTTV & Fox: fix your shit and stop trying to minmax your fucking quarterly earnings using football as a hostage. Somewhere in my junk pile I have an old OTA antenna but I don't want to fuck around with my TV setup to hook it up. Plus I much prefer to watch games on DVR so I can skip ads.
  9. Motherfucker all the good heavy stuff jumped over me or just slightly west of me. Why is it so scattered and random. One guy can get nothing while a half mile down the road someone else gets 3 inches.
  10. Bridge looks really nice but if there's no shade I bet it's hot as fuck in the summertime.
  11. While we discuss fine Italian cusine, I hate to break it to everyone, but the Johnny Carino's Tech Ridge location closed recently.
  12. Snek is not up to code. (Not equipped with backflow prevention device.)
  13. Lately I've been getting a shitload of spam calls from a 424-287-XXXX numbers (I don't know anyone in Los Angeles), but they either don't speak at all or speak such broken English I can't understand them.
  14. yeah but i need oil to make the smoke tune in my bro truck go brrrrrp. Real talk: in 2024, turnout was pretty darn high, something like 88% of registered voters voted, if the numbers I'm finding are correct. About 64% of eligible voters voted. For the many eligible voters who are not registered, or the registered voters who chose not to vote, it's not clear to me that their vote would have changed the outcome. This Pew Research article suggests that, of the nonvoting bloc, 44% of nonvoters preferred Trump and 40% preferred Harris. I'd love to think that the problem is turnout, but I think the real problem is that people are malicious idiots.
