  1. I think the idea was based on Micron's presence in Boise.  And Micron has suffered what TI suffered a couple of decades earlier, in finding out that DRAM is more about manufacturing than cutting-edge technology.
    SLC had attained whatever status it had by the late 80s, early 90s.  There were a couple of pretty prominent IP firms in SLC back then.  The "winning" combo there was Utah + BYU law, which are above average science/enginering and law schools, respectively.  I think SLC lost a lot of its mojo.  
    It's also a cool as town trying to be like the People's Republic here in Austin. I looked into relocating there- amazing national lands, snowboarding, fishing- just too far to the beach for me.
  2. I kind of feel bad for you.  I don’t have many trumptards in my life but I have a few.  Unloading on them is actually therapeutic and I let loose from time to time.  

    The last one was a few weeks ago in Miami.  The bet amongst our friends was the next time he mentions a right wing talking point we dump an entire bucket of ice on his head.  Of course this was an inside joke. Also keep in mind this bastard is notorious for not chipping in on tabs etc.  
    We didn’t even make it to appetizers and I had to pull the champagne off ice to seal the deal.  He just sat there like someone shot his dog.  Everyone was either laughing or had a holy shit look on their face.  Some of you may think that’s over the line but I’m an admitted asshole and I did give a sorry speech the next day - I apologized there wasn’t more ice in the bucket.  
    Some proof since it sounds over the top:

    Bravo sir. Bravo.

  3. The Industrial Revolution to me is just like a story I know called "The Puppy Who Lost His Way." The world was changing, and the puppy was getting... bigger.
    So, you see, the puppy was like industry. In that, they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my friends, that was a revolution.
    Still more convincing and lawyerly than this shit.

  4. Glad to see that Joe is bringing back the CCC.  It needs to be permanent imo.  

    Biden’s new conservation corps stirs hopes of nature-focused hiring spree

    A 1930s initiative that tackled environmental woes and unemployment could inspire the new administration’s plans to confront the climate crisis

    Going to enjoy my conservative mother attempting to gin up outrage over this considering she used to love state and national parks, and her father joined the CCC and ended a cycle of share cropping poverty.

  5. They don't read papers, and the radio stations and tv channels they pay attention to beat the same drum she does.
    Besides, none of the above compete with their main source of news: FB and Twitter echo chambers.
    Even worse all these freaks spent weeks telling us the were going to overthrow the government, and posted to social media encouraging others to do so. Trump and his crew filmed themselves inciting insurrection and cheered it on. Then the freaks filmed themselves storming the capitol and then bragged about it on social media.

    They only began to distance themselves from the very movement they championed went people started getting arrested.

    All this bullshit is easily proven by thier own words and actions.

    Yet the incredibly stupid spin done after the fact will work on plenty of mush brains.

    I spent two weeks surfing Santa Cruz last February as all this covid shit was just hitting and that shit was awesome.
    The shit since 1-20-21 is almost better. Maybe even better than that. I can't fly back out, but all the tattered Trump 2020 flags around rural Texas that are barely readable on the way to the coast, the FAFO. It's a pretty tasty wave.
  7. I find they don't teach that at UT.  Or most law schools for that matter.  Kinda have to figure that one out for yourself.
    I did one year at UT law in the 90s and that exactly how it went down. It was a bit tongue and cheek but also a very pragmatic start and a solid lesson.
    Took a hiatus after year 1 -a family matter I had to attend to and never went back. Don't regret not being a lawyer. 30k for some basic law background plus an extra year on the 40 was kinda nice After I paid off that debt with time to reflect, conflicted.
  8. No I haven't, but I will now. Yowza.
    Chicks dig this dude? Guess everyone has thier type. Rock on ladies.
    My lady is all about Chris Helmsworth, whom I have a mildly similar resemblance to, but a much more svelty physique at 6-1 180. So more Dr Strange in practice I guess than Thor.


  9. "Me and you, out by the lake,
    You in them jeans, our favorite song comes on,
    Rifle comes out, plinking cans...
    Mexi-cans...."
     
    Shit, I'm ready to make my millions.  I can do this all day.  And the demand is clearly there.  Guess we just have to write a lot of lyrics that include "bigger" so we can get our rhyme on.


    ...Puerto Ricans and Africans with yooouuu.

    Fucking lawyers will argue about anything.

    Shrimp are the fruit of the sea.
  11. Y’all really will just stick your dicks anywhere and then when then inevitable crazy comes home to roost you’ll be all “Bitches Be Crazy”, huh?

    Men are dumb.

    I would hard pass with this lady in any scenario. I will, however, almost always buy a a nice dinner for a smart gal with a bit of booty, even if it's clearly ill advised.
  12. I'm all for means-testing the military career.
    You were in the shit? Pension for you.
    You played pilot at Ramstein for a few years? Hit the bricks pal.
     
    Lol at this govt system parsing out who gets what. Both parties - spend moar; support the troops. Forever
