  1. Sooo, way back in the day of glass thermometers, rectal thermometers had red ends or knobs on the end, and oral blue (or maybe it was vice versa). A nurse in my pediatrician's office told Mom to buy rectal thermometers for oral use because they were heavier and wouldn't break as easily. On an occasion or two, the color of the thermometer, presented to a relative or friend for oral use raised a few eyebrows.
  2. Well and then the economy fails and imposes austerity on the Russian people, who will just shrug and swill some more methanol
  3. Just reminded and thought I'd remind everyone what a gaping, bloody, syphilitic cunt this guy was. And he's still here.
  4. And Ost Battalions and (former) Nazi units from Baltic states, who never were really willing, were terrors on both Germans and Russians on the Eastern Front.
  5. I mean, it's a bunch of white middle aged dudes. Longhorn fandom is probably at least half MAGA. Look at this place.
  6. Breaking news, they were always here. The difference is stupidity and uncivilized behavior are now a virtue. The stupid need to be reminded that they're stupid in the most brutal terms possible.
  7. You are correct sir. She is a rude and very nasty woman. https://www.yahoo.com/news/no-rachel-scott-not-fired-172544859.html?guccounter=1
  8. Tubi has a lot of good content and its commercials aren't much more intrusive than what you get on the paid channels these days.
  9. It used to be a reliably decent cheap steak place. Texas Roadhouse seems to have captured that market. Saltgrass is alright too.
  10. If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice
  11. I suppose I'll say this. Some of these people are decent enough to be redeemed. Others not so much, at least not without serious reprogramming. But in their current state, all of them have chosen evil.
  12. Yeah, you've still got various years or even decades old clips of Dems supporting trans and gay rights.
  13. Being a UT law grad does not make one an actual Longhorn, an adoptive one at best. That's why hot wheels is so annoying. I'm fairly certain the largest percentage of UT law grads after UT undergrads is aggy.
  14. Well, skin color, and the wave of Irish immigration mostly subsided, so there were no pikey caravans to shit on. The Hispanics keep on coming, giving a fresh reason for nativist outrage.
  15. Yeah and those charismatic people can sell propaganda a lot better than wonks. Bill Clinton is and was a huge wonk, but you'd never know it from his campaigns. Also, Dems have been trying to sell high-minded ideas for decades that in theory (and probably practical applications) would benefit the working class. For a variety of practical reasons, they never get any of it done (selling out to corporate interests + recalcitrant Congress, related issues) and are perceived as having bullshit the working class and utterly failed to deliver.
  16. And how and why did the SS detail let a flabby old man up to even do that?
  17. The settlement of the opposition is not a public document, but it appears that Baylor failed to explicitly curtail use of the interlocking BU, despite your summary of usage above appearing to be accurate. Another super-bizarre thing, Baylor applied to register a block black interlocking BU for educational services in about 2020 on an intent-to-use basis, meaning they did not claim that they had used it. They eventually filed a statement of use claiming first use in 1931. That's a big ol what the fuck. Boston U also extended time to oppose that registration, but ultimately did not oppose. Bit of a clown show on both sides, despite Pirkey Barber repping Baylor.
  18. I will say that something is fishy about it. I don't think the ear wound is consistent with a ballistic projectile and the whole fist-raising thing is pretty bizarre. Of course, that's enough for MAGA to come up with all manner of wild conspiracy theories. I'll just stop with "it's fishy."
  19. Of course and Texas too to a slightly smaller extent. But what was somewhat startling to me is the degree of segregation in the early 1970s. Also that school desegregation wasn't eliminating the last vestige official oppression, but the vanguard. We all intellectually know this, but seeing it "live and in color" in a very recent timeframe is moving..
  20. Here's the complaint. https://heitnerlegal.com/wp-content/uploads/Baylor-Boston-lawsuit.pdf The key and driving circumstance here is that Boston U opposed Baylor's first attempt to register the interlocking BU, but they settled and Boston withdrew its opposition. Boston's current use appears to be in violation of that settlement agreement.
  21. I dunno, could be an interesting tussle. Both pretty clearly entitled to use BU, the question then becoming a) is the interlocking design sufficiently distinctive and b) is anyone actually confused as to origin, sponsorship, or approval of his or her goods, services, or commercial activities by another person. I think the answer to b) is a fairly resounding: Probably also the answer to a), as well. But the "property theory" of trademarks is likely to come into play. Like most trademark cases, this will probably settle.
