  1. Or when COVID-25 or -26 hits while we have our pants around our ankles
  2. Agreed. I don't quite understand (yet) why Bezos, Zuckerberg and some of the other top 10/20 richest Americans are letting Trump do this to the economy and markets. He's cost them billions upon billions of dollars. Is it simply lose X billions today but you'll get 10-20X that once we privatize everything when the entire country crumbles and falls? Is that what we're looking at? (I get Musk's angle. His wealth is tenuous as Tesla can't justify the stock price with fundamentals and his wealth is very dependent on Tesla's stock price. He's also able to eliminate all the nasty government agencies that could regulate what he's doing at SpaceX, Twitter or the rest of his companies.)

    Dallas | BBQ

    D Magazine put together a Top 28 BBQ places in DFW. Issue is out this week. Goldee's is #1 and Smokey Joe's is #2. D ranked the best 16 in order, then listed nine honorable mentions and then the three best takeout options (One90, Rathbun and ???).
  4. Isn’t that the orange shit-head’s last press secretary from his first term?
  5. We can catch Winnipeg. Colorado needs a miracle to catch us.
  6. Have I ever told y’all how much I dislike these uniforms? Snap, 3-1
  7. Yep. Apparently got him right in the heart.
  8. Maybe lead with that next time and save the rest of us pages upon pages of meltdowns. (This is a tragic fucking story. Just stupid all the way around. Kid ruined multiple lives yesterday. Fucking senseless.)
  9. I'm pretty set on having one machine to do all the things. Mainly, the PC emulator is to run sports sim games that I dick around with. They only run on PC machines. Not very graphic-intense at all. There might be another PC-only application I'm not immediately thinking of.
  10. Trying to decide between which MacBook Pro to get -- one with M4 or upgayed to M4 Pro. I use the MacBook as my primary home computer for work/fun -- it's plugged into two 27-inch monitors via HDMI cables so I have three screens going. I'm still using Parallels to run Windows. This appears to drain the current laptop's computing power. The M4 Pro chip version is about $360 more but offers Thunderbird 5 capability vs Thunderbird 4 on the M4. Both have 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The M4 has 10-core CPU/GPU while the M4 Pro offers 14-core CPU/20-core GPU.
  11. That Truth is from today -- at 3:33 PM. Is Saint Javelin in Europe or something that would fuck with the time-stamp on their end?
  12. Well, yeah, he's a moron. I guess what I meant is let's hope he's just a moron doing moron things and not a moron being "handled" by evil people who want to destroy America. Is he just Governor LePetomaine -- or are there a bunch of Hedley Lamarrs behind the scenes.
  13. They talk about the Coons/Trans kid thing a bit in the long piece I posted above. Part of the reason to cut it was to get it down to a manageable length. Apparently, they could've had eight 100-minute episodes if they put in everything he initially wanted/shot. This was supposed to be filmed in 2022 but was delayed because of the writer's strike. They felt that having that storyline in there today, after Trump won and essentially declared war on that community, that it was an unnecessary "add" to the show. White's intention isn't for this to be a political show. I think the only thing remotely political was when Coons/Monaghan speculate on Bibb having voted for Trump.
  14. I hope you're right that Trump is just a moron -- and not doing the bidding of really, really bad actors pulling his strings behind closed doors. If it's just the former, we can (hopefully) run the penalty kill for (shudder) four years and re-elect somebody who will start reversing all this shit. If it's the latter, America as we know it is done-zo.
  15. In case anybody actually patronizes Steak 'n Shake, there's this:
  16. Vegas is in the other division. There’s no scenario where the Stars play Vegas before the conference finals in today’s format unless either team is a WC. Boston’s historic season was two seasons ago. They got a terrible first-round opponent in Florida, which went to the Finals that season and won it all last year.
  17. Chris Murphy with 11 posts about the tariffs.
  18. ‘The White Lotus’ Uncensored Oral History: Mike White and Cast Spill Season 3’s Secrets The creator and dozens of cast and crew reveal all the inside gossip, incestuous drama and behind-the-scenes mischief of TV’s most sensational hit. Pretty good read: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/white-lotus-finale-mike-white-interview-1236177751/
  19. Our friend at Gig ‘Em Gazette tries their hand at comedy. It’s about as “good” as you’d expect. https://gigemgazette.com/ncaa-officially-places-texas-a-m-recruiting-on-probation-by-docking-commits-one-star-ranking-each
  20. 100%. They could simply re-write the shit they don't like. They have the majority on SCOTUS. But, by the letter of the law (lol, I know) he cannot serve a third term as things stand today without some serious fucky fucky. (I expect fucky fucky.)
  21. My understanding is that there is also verbiage in the Constitution that says a candidate can't "run" for VP if they would not otherwise be eligible to be president. Trump would therefore not be eligible having already served two terms as POTUS.
  22. Yep. Beat them straight-up in the head-to-head and you're effectively tied. The Stars have more home games down the stretch compared to the Jets but I don't think that matters all that much this time of year. Jets have four road games remaining, the Stars have three. Again, it all hinges on the Dallas-Winnipeg meeting in Dallas. Win that and the Stars can do this. Lose and it's almost impossible barring a Jets' implosion.
