  1. If only. That's what we were screaming for once the Senate went blue in 2020. Ahh well, nevertheless.
  2. I have felt zero anxiety about whatever demographic changes have occurred over the last 51 years. The only ones anxious over it are fucking losers that know their entitlement is going to get shredded by those that grind harder.
  3. 'there' counselor.
  4. I assume most offshore windfarms are kind of close to these things called beaches. I like beaches. Sign me up for summer duty.
  5. Exactly the same. Right after SOX came into play I was able to land an expat position that continued the good life for another 15 years until we got bought out by one of the then Big 3 service companies. Overseas, the expense account debauchery went to 11. Those $3,000 entries went to $9,999 and were labeled "Food and Drink". Hell, we would get chastised by our boss for not maxxing out the expense account because if we didn't then the accountants would start imposing new lower limits. I think I went 8 years in Thailand with never paying out of pocket for a beer, game of golf, or restaurant meal. There was always a customer to expense it to whether they were present or not. For most of those years I was just a peon Technical Services Engineer but my condo was right across the hall from the VP of Operations for the national oil and gas company. Fine digs for sure.
  6. Really? I don't recall a single one. Nutcase.
  7. I had zero idea or care about what your thoughts on trans issues in the Midwest were. That's why you're a nutcase. You aren't that important.
  8. Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?
  9. For refined tastes, you need to go a level above the white truck guys. Think salesmen in their beige Crown Vics. Alas, those days are long gone since Sarbanes-Oxley put a huge crunch on expense account disclosures. The old days of a $3,000 expense entry for "Entertainment" that was approved without question were great.
  10. Pre Sarbanes-Oxley and general industry consolidation days, your nearest drilling fluids or drill bits salesman could give you a list of the best restaurants, bars, golf courses and underground brothels within a four state radius. Pay wasn't great, but expense accounts were used to maximum benefit.
  11. Texas dems always have a poll a week or two before the election saying they are within three points of the incumbent republican shithead. They just need more donations to get them over the hump and finally turn TX blue. Then they get smoked by 10 points by Paxton / Cruz / Goeb.
  12. Counterpoint, those "churches" will claim they aren't religious events; rather grifting opportunities. Hell, it worked for Fox News saying they weren't News but rather entertainment.
  13. For a total nutcase, every now and then you get something right.
  14. Years ago this particular species was isolated to within the loop, but it has been a long time since I've been down that way after sunset. I imagine its territory has expanded since then. To be sure, I recommend contacting Mr. @tx 3 putt for current market conditions.
  15. We got deer here in The Woodlands, but thankfully they usually stay out of the way. Every now and then I'll spot a small herd chewing up a neighbor's flower beds early in the morning but that's probably a once or twice a year kind of thing.
  16. 4. Shutdown keeps the Epstein files under wraps. (This should be #1).
  17. My junior year of HS, we lost in the state semi-finals after our kicker shanked a chip shot field goal as time expired. The next year was the first year we ever had foreign exchange students, one of whom happened to be a 6'4" Norwegian soccer star. We didn't have a soccer team, but homeboy pretty much nailed every FG he attempted the next season with several beyond 45 yards (back when that was pretty rare for HS kickers). Pure coincidence I'm sure.
  18. I imagine bad. That said, AMD / NVDA / etc will announce 10 bazillionjillion dollars in AI investments (that nets to $0 cash changing hands) and the stock market will go up another 50%.
  19. Like Texas can talk shit about any other state's politician lineup?
  20. If I ran for office, I would campaign on the promise of freeing Luigi, giving him a hit list and a pocket full of pardons for any future misdeeds that might occur.
  21. Way to focus on the important stuff.
  22. This shit is so stupid. They need to enact some sort of dress code violation penalties to stamp this out.
  23. Tennessee definitely throwing this game.
  24. “Investors”
