  1. I'm sorry, but you are being completely delusional. If we get to when the shooting starts, the police will ENTHUSIASTICALLY support, and will actively join, the MAGA death squads. It will not even be close. The military, no, but the police will be ALL IN.
  2. The wording on the ballot for those is horrible. From reading the ballot, who knows WTF the amendment means? I made some choice in the voting booth, but I have no idea how I voted on 4 or 5 because those words just have no actual content.
  3. That is what I don't understand. I get being a hermit, but you still have to eat sometimes.
  4. This Washington Post story claims: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/10/27/alec-baldwin-rust-updates/
  5. Well I am one at least. Both were an easy decision for me.
  6. Nobody is intentionally adding it to Xanax. The cartels do, presumably, intentionally use fentanyl in their 'heroin' products. But they are sloppy/careless/negligent in cleaning their equipment and the fentanyl e.g. contaminates the pill press and then it gets into Xanax pills.
  7. That was my first thought, and it pains me greatly to agree with Randolph Duke.
  8. Hopefully they can properly identify the remains. I would not assume it is Laundrie yet, if he killed somebody once why not again, like some homeless dude, to try and make it look like he is dead. 0xdeadbeef has a devious idea, so one needs to be sure that some of those 'remains' are things you cannot do without, not just a finger or two. Or maybe he did go into the swamp, to be judged by the crocodilians. Who then applied the proper justice.
  9. This. It is why I personally do not have any more patience for people arguing about natural immunity. Even though it probably is true that people who *actually* got COVID have protection at least as good as vaccinated people. They got vaxxed the hard way. (And measured antibodies do not tell the whole story about amount of protection.) Where it ranks in the Moderna, Pfizer, J&J standings I don't know. But that is not really what those people are arguing, in reality it is just oppositional toddler syndrome.
  10. PG-13 did not exist until 1984. Jaws came out in 1975.
  11. I think @blacklab is looking for somebody like these guys, on this thread:
  12. I think the recent issue with aspirin, is that it is not such a good idea to take one everyday, which was once thought to help your heart (I think). Not that you should not take one for pain. That is fine, just don't take them daily for other reasons. I will not take Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol at all, it can wreck your liver, and those who drink too much should totally avoid it. I think Advil/ibuprofen is fine, that is my personal go-to.
  13. The best Python packaging system: def snek(): if OU_sucks: return True else: raise Exception('It is not possible for OU to not suck')
  14. I did not do much actual travel planning, but if I was following the spirits of WW2 (which I would), I'd try and arrange my plans to go through Pearl then Henderson Field somehow. Going through Australia in the middle would have been likely at the time, so that makes sense too!
  15. I have had similar thoughts, though I don't have any family that fought there, I only know of history in books. The Solomon Islands seem to be well out of the way, and have some social issues now, but have some cool scuba diving, as well as the ghosts. You would fly into the main airport at Honaira, which was once named Henderson Field. In this case you should surely come via Pearl Harbor. I kind of want to get on a dive boat and sail around Savo Island at night, and do some night dive. Kula Gulf is a few islands farther west I think, so it would be even harder to get to.
  16. USS Helena? She was sunk in Kula Gulf, I think. My first thought was really the USS Juneau, though that just off Guadalcanal, not in Kula Gulf.
  17. In the qualifying for 2006, the USA did score in Azteca (Eddie Lewis). We did lose the game 1-2, but at least a goal went in.
  18. Didn't Phil Dawson also get an NFL rule change after a field goal that bounced and then went in? Maybe even kind of a bounce like Tucker's.
  19. I think Sbbruin was suggesting staying in the same *career*, not necessarily job. Staying in the same job is indeed a great way to never get paid what you are worth. But you can quit your job without quitting your career.
  20. I spent a couple of days there a few years ago, one day in the north section, and one in the south. Lots of prairie dogs. In the North, I considered hiking the North Achenbach trail down into the riverbed, but this trail was extremely steep, and vague enough, that I figured I'd just fall down a cliff if I tried to descend it, so I skipped that idea. From the end of the main road, near Oxbow Overlook I think, it was probably a lot more reasonable to descend into the basin. There is also supposed to be a small herd of Longhorns in the north unit, but I did not see any. In the South, I did the main park loop drive, with lots of short hikes added. I also went up to the park highpoint, Peck Hill, which is off-trail. I think there are some longer trails in this area, the Jones Creek Trail, but I did not have time.
  21. This. The Rice game seemed to have endless 3-4 minute TV timeouts, for a game only on LHN.
  22. Interdasting. My band director in high school was also from SMU and also a total dipshit. I don't think it is the same one though.
  23. Hey, better than Boeing. At least they were able to lift off.
