  1. Gonna be pissed about the Fox logo in the corner.
  2. Yeah, I aint givin Fox a nickle. Gonna piss me off having to watch it OTA next weekend.
  3. That's actually depressing in that I was hoping that was kind of an "everyman." Instead its just another political pervert like us. Meaning, won't make a shit.
  4. At least we have Greg Swindell. Oh . . . wait . . . furk.
  5. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of the US is not suitable for growing coffee. Others have tried and failed to produce coffee across the country, but for now, Hawaii, California, and Puerto Rico are the only places producing coffee on a sustainable scale. https://cornercoffeestore.com/where-is-coffee-grown-in-the-us/
  6. Fuck you you syphiltic cunt. You didn't give Maryland shit.
  7. Excellent point. People with mental health issues are extraordinarily resistant to treatment, even if available. There are a variety of reasons for this, but it is definitely a frequent characteristic of such disorders. For example, the addict who doesn't reach bottom by being homeless and the attendant further degradations, and voluntarily seek and comply with treatment, probably has no bottom and is doomed to institutions, jails, and death.
  8. I really do want to punch some acting-out MAGAt. Thankfully, I'm not around many on a day-to-day basis.
  9. I didn't get it quite right. I am approximately the same age and I'm not going to claim any great level of fitness or athletic ability. But, considering our respective athletic ability accomplishments in our 20s, I could make a much better effort at that obstacle course, for the cameras, than he has. Fat slimy walrus-looking piece of shit.
  10. Goddammit Cain, you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit, get the fuck off my obstacle!
  11. The settlement was reported to the 9th Circuit together with a request to postpone oral argument. It appears that the original case was dismissed as not being covered by ERISA and not federal and that on appeal to the 9th Circuit. Doesn't seem to be any real obvious connection to an immediate downside for Elmo.
  12. Yeah, I figured you might be able to thumbnail vibration analyze the things. But there's a lot going on there beyond the masses of the pistons just slinging around.
  13. Well, depends on definition of "flat." If you mean horizontally opposed or boxer, that is less than perfect, but inline is the most inherently balanced. Looking it up myself, rotating-plane balance on a 3 is off, while reciprocating balance is perfect. Also, the power strokes don't overlap, which is a power-delivery issue I suppose more than a vibratory one. But that also can devolve into a torsional imbalance that's made worse by the length of the inline 6 crank. It appears that a horizontally opposed six would be quite well balanced if the engine used "fork and blade" rods so that each pair of opposing cylinders shared a common centerline, but in reality, most times the rods are paired next to each other, necessitating some longitudinal spacing of the opposing cylinders.
  14. Is a 3-banger as smooth as an inline 6? This seems like something @jimmyjazz could answer on the theoretical basis. ETA: the answer seems to be no.
  15. Yes, that may be where it ends up. But, I do kind of wonder, when push comes to shove, whether these field-grade officers are going to be as loyal as they think.
  16. Although you may ultimately be correct, I'm not sure the national guard really counts as the military in the sense that it is outside the normal chain of command.
  17. UTD got a huge boost early on from TI and TI founders, who wanted a school to work-study TI employees. They offered to do the same for SMU, but SMU declined, seeing itself as a liberal arts and business school. So its beginnings were different from most of the other UT "satellite" schools.
  18. Moreso than last time, he is completely surrounded by yes-men.
  19. It's a perfect microcosm of MAGA. Ostensibly, the upright citizens of those cities would be in arms about their horrific crime rates and begging Trump to send troops and the FBI to "take back their cities." But it's not about crime, it's almost never about crime.
  20. 1700 in 19 states. That's fewer than 100 toy soldiers per state. Impressive!
  21. The company's statement said that under the terms of the deal, the government has agreed to purchase 433.3 million primary shares of Intel common stock at $20.47 per share, equivalent to a 9.9% stake in the company. The government will have no board representation or other "governance or information rights," according to the statement, and the government agreed to vote with the company's board on matters requiring shareholder approval, with limited exceptions. https://www.npr.org/2025/08/22/nx-s1-5509673/trump-says-us-government-will-take-stake-intel I'm not sure what the deal is, really. I guess the gubmint is getting something. But it's not likely Intel's stock price is going to improve anytime soon, and certainly not as a result of domestic manufacturing unless the stock market starts to value something other than short-term earnings. Also, this isn't going to work as any kind of ongoing policy shift. Intel is only doing this because it's in deep shit. Conditioning grants on equity surrenders means no one will take any grants.
  22. Meanwhile. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/21/jh-campbell-coal-power-plant-michigan-trump-administation
  23. One of the better written pieces I've ever seen on ESPN.
