  1. These things are supposed to be quite good. https://www.amazon.com/Thermacell-Rechargeable-Protection-DEET-Free-Alternative/dp/B09LXCSSVR/ref=asc_df_B09LXCSSVR?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80814230791523&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=77266&hvtargid=pla-4584413753569036&th=1 The catch is that a 12-hour refill is about $20.
  2. I had truly excellent English teachers in high school. And I didn't take AP. But DaN was part of the curriculum. I need to re-read it. Ms. Fish, Mrs. Troutman, Mr. Smith (later a baseball coach), and Mrs. Glover.
  3. He's not gonna do it. More shit advocacy from Blondi and Trump DOJ. But the idea here I think is to blame it on the judge.
  4. Stupid fat motherfucker has been in full flight from reality since I dunno when. The problem is his ability to take others with him. That seems to be diminishing, slightly.
  5. Yes, like others, I see that as calling out the hypocrisy as opposed to demanding that real Christianity dictate the outcome. As soon as he starts using Jesus or Christian arguments of a certain strain to support legislation, then I'm right with ya.
  6. See how stupid you look when you call things that aren't treason treason? Told y'all. It's not RICO and its not treason, dammit.
  7. Yeah, I'm not sure who we're indicating here, AI or management consultants. Why not both?
  8. Yep, complete political hacks and kind of sleeper cells. Like the whole AG/SG deal.
  9. Also, I might guess that the suit was filed in the Miami Division (rather than WPB/Fort Pierce) because his hack lawyer, Brito, is in Miami. Likely as not, Brito filed it in Miami because convenient/lazy/in a hurry. Given the judicial assignment, I'm guessing Brito is getting roasted by Trump.
  10. You raise a good point. Do note, however, that the Talarico oration immediately above is made in a church and not in a political context. When Talarico speaks in a political context, at least as far as I am aware, he does not invoke Christ or Christianity.
  11. Shocking, really. Their hypocrisy apparently only does go so far. Edit: it appears that Booker and Kim won't consent to the nomination so they can't even hold a vote for Republican Senators to debase themselves in.
  12. And Naive Bukkake admitted that the Venezuelans were always the responsibility of the US. And now the government admits that it can and will faclititate return of Venezuelans to the US.
  13. Oh for sure. Also unsurprising.
  14. Some district judge is going to go off on them given the AP precedent and the lack of even that flimsy excuse.
  15. I originally had this thought as well, given that American Indian, at least, was semi-acceptable. But, when you think about how the term came about, dumbass honkies thinking they'd reached Ceylon or some shit and gave the darker people the same name as Indians (dot not feather), and it kind of falls apart. Lucky they didn't get called "wogs."
  16. H/t Arthur Koestler. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkness_at_Noon In retrospect, I realize that this was a part of my anti-Communist high school education. However, not so "right" that it was actually very far off.
  17. That sucks, he seemed like a really likable dude. RIP.
  18. Great. Now, explain why Black History Month, or any of the others, are racist.
  19. Elvis is not an idiot. He does live in Trumplandia (East Texas somewhere) in his own echo chamber.
  20. Black history month is not racist. It's an acknowledgement that a seriously oppressed minority in this country has a history beyond simply being seriously oppressed. It doesn't put anyone else down. And it's a history that's never gotten equal or any other time in our schools. And, for the United States of America, pretty much every month since 1789 has been white history month. I suppose you could argue that it is "discriminatory" because it draws a distinction between black and white. But discriminatory is not automatically racist. It's as if you think we never thought of any of this.
  21. One other interesting thing. The caplifter and can opener on my Cadet, Huntsman, and Trekker are nearly identical despite having been made 40 years apart. Although these two items on this knife are quite similar to the usual Victorinox, they're a little different, smaller, and the caplifter lacks the half stop, which can be handy for screwdriver applications.
  22. The statement/question you made carried a pretty plain implication: there's nothing wrong with having a white history month. If that's not what you meant, then you shouldn't have been so cryptic about it.
  23. This raises an interesting question. With the new state of admissions, is the "weed out" less of a thing at UT? There used to be motivation to get as many hours out of the way as possible away from UT to avoid the bad prof scenario and a bad or even failing grade.
