  1. At least in engineering, the curricula is pretty common from school to school. An accredited school should have capable professors who can teach circuits, fluid mechanics, programming, etc. w/o being genius level MIT types egghead profs doing crazy research. Grad school? Different discussion entirely.
  2. I'm gonna start using brosark.
  3. This is why I'll take my chances. With Trump, we will almost surely see a suspended 2028 election and full base support that honestly can't be overcome. Without him, maybe not. Probably, but maybe not.
  4. I think one fascinating part of the story should Trump die soon will be what happens with the Epstein case. I would bet good money those "files" will suddenly be revealed and Trump will be implicated.
  5. Anybody have an idea how long it takes to get the registration sticker for a new vehicle in Texas? We purchased a car on August 6. The dealer put the license plates on at the time of sale and said we'd receive the sticker in the mail. We're over 3 weeks out at this point. (Yes, I've called the dealer, nobody has called back yet because why would they? The check cleared.)
  6. I'm not convinced, but there is definitely a non-zero chance that Vance will reduce motivation of Trump's base. I'm mostly just hoping for a 2028 election.
  7. Well, we're feeling kinda stupid right now. My daughter is trying to wrap up her bachelor's degree while balancing work and touring, and was just now advised (with 12 hours to go) that some courses are available as online extension courses. All she has left is her minor in business, and guess what? Her remaining courses are on the list. God knows how much she had to unnecessarily slow-play her degree because we didn't know about this. Check it out if that option makes sense for your kid: UT Extension
  8. I can't eat seafood, but my wife had the fried shrimp and said they were legit.
  9. Seriously one of the best burgers in town, and cheap. $3.99 ($4.99 with cheese). Do the toasted ravioli, too. I'm going to my BIL's house because he has a giant ass projector.
  10. Hangovers are a bitch, especially at his age.
  11. NSIAP, the latest DirecTV promo features Wingo:
  12. I didn't suggest otherwise.
  13. I just re-read the last couple of pages and I'm still pissed. This is without question the first move to limiting access to if not outright banning SSRIs. I don't care what "feeling" one might have about their overuse, the fact is they save lives. There is a difference between maintaining vigilance and launching "studies" that have a clear desired outcome which will justify horrific actions in response. "We're launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence."
  14. I didn't hear about camp. That sucks. Dude is electric.
  15. When did he "re-injure" his hamstring, and when is his expected return?
  16. No you don't. Not at all. At least be honest.
  17. Oh noes! The unserious self-congratulating cloud-brained autist is not happy with me! What should I do?
  18. I repeat: I will weep for you when someone in your family dies because you support this anti-science bullshit. In short, fuck you.
  19. Wasn't sure of your point. It feels like the administration is laying the groundwork for that kind of action, which would be mind-boggling but par for the course.
  20. So . . . ? Does that warrant pulling them off the market?

    Hey man, I've paid full fare to see Pixies. I do hope it's a great show.
  22. Susan LMAO Collins
  23. Who said that part, specifically? Maybe I missed it.
  24. I think it's fair to say that some SSRIs *can* amplify suicidal ideation, but qualitatively I suspect that's pretty close to the "negative side effect" issue with vaccines. The risk is way overwhelmed by the reward.
