  1. It was the second hit. Direct dive helmet to helmet. Got lucky with no call there.
  2. Targeting if there ever was. Damn.
  3. Thanks. I managed to figure this out and bought out a few lists for teachers at my kids' school.
  4. That may just be improvements in aerodynamics. I drove a Gladiator to Houston a couple of weeks ago (with it's near vertical windshield and no aerodynamics whatsoever) and the windshield was an inch thick in dead bugs from top to bottom.
  5. Has anyone reached out to the poultry industry? I suspect some surreptitious chicken-neck dumping may be afoot.
  6. The point was that both have very specific functions and aren't capable of contributing much else. The difference is that ditch diggers understand this, for the most part.
  7. No question. The world needs engineers, but it's important to remember they are the modern version of ditch diggers.
  8. This is why engineers shouldn't be allowed to run companies, or or manage anything, or even speak to the general public. Of course an engineer will end up siding with authoritarians, it's the clean, efficient, and simplistic to the point of stupid way of running things. Democracy is messy and unpredictable, requires imagination, compassion, and compromise.
  9. A solid dose of melatonin will lead to some crazy vivid dreams as well. Melatonin combined with Delta 8 and you're either going to have a truly amazing or truly terrifying dream experience.
  10. Most small animal vets are just dog lovers with about 10% more knowledge and access to controlled substances, and as far as I've seen don't know shit about animal behavior even if they're very good at treating illness and injury. In Texas most of them are aggies. Make of that what you will.
  11. I agree that this aspect would indicate some type of substance issue. Alcohol and weed both reduce ability to consider long term consequences as well, so it could be as banal as one of those two.
  12. Musk has been fairly straight forward about what makes him seem strange to most folks. He's ASD Level 1. I think there are likely some other things going on there, including and importantly the general eccentricity that would happen to anyone who gets that rich, but autism explains a lot of his behavior that many have trouble understanding. It doesn't excuse anything at all, but as the father of an autistic son I can definitely see where Elon's neurological wiring can make him seem like a jerk when he's just genuinely responding as he sees things. The more interesting thing to me is the neurotypical folks who hear some of his more autism-driven comments and nod their heads in agreement.
  13. Is it the dogs or the owners? It's both.
  14. The no kill shelter in Austin has been 99.9% pit mix dogs every time I've been there. We finally gave up trying to adopt from them. I agree they should just be put down. The sentiment behind no-kill is something I tend to agree with, but it's not working when all you have to adopt are piles of dogs with faulty wiring.
  15. Remind me again why some people think Kanye is intelligent? Or is it just Kanye?
  16. I think the only mental gymnastics happen when crucifying a guy when there is still zero hard evidence he did anything wrong. If that is ever presented, sure. But only one side of this is jumping to conclusions.
  17. That's dingos. I don't how the notion spread to include coyotes, but coyotes do not hunt that way. The urban legend has been around a long time, probably just stories about dingos morphing into coyotes in America.
  18. Did she make it out to say hello to her old boss?
  19. This is just to say . . . I'm a bit ashamed I didn't pick up on that. EDIT: Stupid autocorrect.
  20. She was wearing Steve Maddens, and nobody wears those anymore. FAFO indeed.
  21. There's an adult happy meal?
  22. lol I remember that one. I have no idea what made her mad, but if anyone was ever begging to get slapped it was her.
  23. I had no idea so many of you fuckers are from San Antonio. I'm going to have to think about whether I want to continue hanging out around here.
  24. It's scary how guys like that think they're actually smarter than everyone else. His twitter feed is something.
