  1. MJ Lenderman tonight at Moody Theater
  2. I volunteer to be the asshole who shows up the night before to see the goods early.
  3. Eating with one's hand is a tell that they're from Africa? The stupid is so fucking strong. (Hey Laura, ask him why he doesn't eat with his left hand.)
  4. I want to believe Graham is real. He's real enough, he has definitely fingered the pulse of Aggies everywhere, or something. In looking at their schedule, I don't see how they win more than 1-2 of these games: @ ND, @ Arky, @ LSU, @ Mizzou, SC, @ Texas. 8-4 best case, clickety clickety clack.
  5. I do 2.43 : 1.295: 0.05 on baby backs. I don't cook spares or StL, I'm not a cretin.
  6. There might be some slightly tan skin tone in that group, but going with the Beyonce choreography is a very bold move. Oh, it's also terrible.
  7. Let me guess: dads standing around a BYOB ballgame tailgate waiting on players to get out, and at some point the other team's middle reliever comes up in conversation soon followed by "THAT kid got a scholarship to Texas?"
  8. I have full faith and confidence in our federal government getting to the bottom of this toot sweet.
  9. Those sensors suck. Do what I do -- ignore the warning light.
  10. 7NA is obviously a huge contender. I'd suggest Spoon "The Way We Get By" or Wilco "Heavy Metal Drummer", although neither rocks as hard as 7NA. Neither is anywhere near as well known, though.
  11. Jackson Browne was 16 years old when he wrote that song. Yikes.
  12. lulz. I know Rudy's isn't top 50 level barbecue, but their spicy chop is plenty edible and costs barely half that amount.
  13. I just think Texans in general are gonna shy away from "sweet" in their 'que. I can handle a sweeter glaze/sauce on pork, though. Seems pretty complementary to me.
  14. Being good at most jobs requires little more than a strong work ethic along with the base intellect to learn to perform one or two tasks at a reasonably high level. Plenty of successful people are still gullible.
  15. Yup, first time. I haven't been there in close to 20 years and I can't remember what I had then, but it wasn't CFS.
  16. @elons_ex_bitch? Regardless, Rand Paul "calls himself a doctor" because (checks notes) he has an MD from Duke.
  17. It won't make a dent in "not going broke" but it will fuck most Americans sideways to do so.
  18. You can't continue to collect FICA while simultaneously phasing out benefits. It's nothing more than an income tax at that point.
  19. I didn't change the topic and I'm not wrong about the law. Do you not get letters from SSA telling you your future benefits? How is changing that kosher? I have no problem with eliminating the cap, and it would hit me too. Haven't thought through retirement age, but that seems to be a moving target. Whatever. I'll be eligible in a week and I'm so far from retiring I don't know what to think about that knob. $30B is nothing. 1.5% of the debt. Come on. Cuts aren't going to stop at the top 1% either, not by a long shot. They'll probably wipe the whole thing out.
  20. The fact that you think eliminating the top 1% from benefits would accomplish anything tells me everything I need to know. Learn your math, and while you're at it, stop demanding social justice while advocating financial shackles.
  21. The law does not carve out income or wealth. Know your English.
  22. Today without the knowledge of Trump's policies of the first 5 months in office? Trump. Today with the knowledge of Trump's policies of the first 5 months in office? Trump. Because our voting public is 50% stupid.
  23. Strawman. Your AI query literally says "Provide financial support to retired workers age 65 or older through a national retirement system". It doesn't exclude those who don't "need" it. This shit makes me furious. Call it a tax and I'll pay it -- call it a benefit then I'd better fucking benefit when the time comes.
