  1. You do realize that it is currently 76 degrees at his Mar-a-Lago course in Palm Beach, Fl?
  2. Your avatar is a distraction. And it is working.
  3. I didn't serve, but I still believe that all men should serve 2 years right out of high school. It would solve a ton of problems and who cares if you start college/work/etc at 20 instead of 18. Did Sgt Rodriguez and Sgt Sanchez come into the country legally or illegally? If legally, then the wall/border issue doesn't apply to them specifically unless someone wants to lump illegal immigrants in with those who followed the current legal process. If they came in illegally, then maybe the idea of military service could be a more talked about option for a path to citizenship. It is a shame we don't take this border wall fight to the logical conclusion of total immigration reform with liberal work visas and an easier path to citizenship for those who are eligible.
  4. I've told this story here (TOS) before, but several years ago I wrote my congressman to ask for a formal inquiry into how she was able to get a law degree from UVA. I explained to him that I had a daughter at UVA and how the reputation of the school and it's academic excellence was tainted with someone as obviously dull as SJL touting her education there. One of his staffers replied back with a form letter about working with people from both sides of the aisle. tl/dr: SJL is a horrible human being and also, in no way has the brain cells to matriculate thru one of the top public law schools in the country.
  5. Isn't Harris considered the most progressive senator out of all of them? See this link from a liberal/progressive site. http://www.progressivepunch.org/scores.htm?house=senate Or was your comment sarcasm that went over my head?
  6. Because he received more than 270 electoral votes and no other candidate did. Pretty simple actually.
  7. Package from Europe came in today. It was a Nomos Tangente 38 Datum. It maintains my German fetish and it is quite a contrast from my two Sinns. I wear my Sinn 104 as a daily work watch and got the 6099 as a formal/event/picking up bitches watch, but this Nomos can be worn for both. We will see how it fits in and how much I wear it. Unless senility sets in and I get my dream of a rose gold Lange & Sohne, I think that I am satiated with these to rotate thru.
  8. I would think that the safe (ish) haven will be minimal-to-no debt so that you don't have to worry about servicing it. It is interesting to read the guesses on inflation vs deflation if things seize up. I would think the logical thing would be a mixture (I've heard it called biflation but there might be a better term) where things that are typically bought with debt will drop in price, whereas other things like consumables, etc., will rise.
  9. Not enough people understand how important us being the reserve currency is to our current economy and our debt laden government. I have often felt that none of the social issues or current banshee screaming issue driven loons will bring us to our knees, but rather a combination of: 1)us not being the reserve currency (watch as oil trades in other currencies/barter), 2) our total public and private debt and the interest paid, and then 3) the pension/SS and health care promises. These three will eventually take us down (or might be in the process of right now). What is the saying...A fiat currency works until it doesn't. And also remember, that all fiat currencies thru history have eventually failed. PS; Sometimes, if you sit and think about it, how exactly does one get away with charging interest on a fiat currency? With a system of fractional reserve banking/a central bank, and a fiat currency, and with a high debt driven economy, it's almost like all a bank charter is now is a license to print money.
  10. And it could also become like the Lawrence vs Texas case, where someone is going to get fucked.....
  11. Or as much shiplap. She might be into shiplap.

    Don't know a single thread on this site where the above is not an appropriate response.
  13. You personally can't even take your correct dose of prescribed medicines.
  14. Can I add a Fiesta Bowl loss to my Mountaineers with Sam Bradford face down on the turf?
  15. Our guard play is terrible so far this year and with no Sags inside we outright suck. I wish Jevon Carter hadn't turned 40 and had to leave.
  16. The whole country should do this. If I'm president, i'm declaring a national day off for such mourning. It will bring the whole country together. PS: I don't think I will or did lose my shit over famous people that I enjoyed/admired dying, but admit I was a bit melancholy when Gene Kelly died. He brought me a lot of enjoyment.
  17. 87.6% of all numbers that Trump has spouted since he was elected are made up.....bigly.
  18. Damned if you aren't a one trick pony here at surly. I don't remember you being like that at the other site. I guess I just missed a lot of posts.
  19. I've been saying it will be Dabo for years now, but he has built such a program at Clemson, I'm not so sure now. He may turn out to be the "Roy Williams" (remember he didn't replace Dean), and have to come save the program if the in-house replacement fails.
  20. What channel is showing the roundtable coverage with Maria Taylor, Sam Ponder, and Katie Nolan?
  21. We were paying Dana $3.8 MM/yr, so unless it is stupid money or a blueblood program, we have the resources and willingness (thank you Big12 $$$) to pay to keep someone we want.
