  1. Yeah it's gonna suck for the captains of both ships, no matter who was predominantly at fault. In the maritime world, a collision is generally going to be laid at the feet of both of them, because in open water the general thinking is that there were always things both of them could have done to avoid the collision.
  2. Why in the actual fuck do we have Pete Hegseth of all fucking people publicly speaking to foreign dignitaries on sensitive Foreign Policy matters, and JD fucking Vance talking about war with got damn Russia?
  3. Oh yeah, I forgot they were talking about doing that. It'll help keep the cars in front of the fan-accessible parts of the track more. The only series iirc that's ever done that was V8SC, and it did that, but it also seemed too short, and left a lot of people wishing they had run the full circuit for at least one of their races that weekend.
  4. nsiap ... Critic’s Notebook: In This Trump Presidency, the Domination Will Be Televised From the Super Bowl to a self-produced version of “Cops,” the second Trump administration is using imagery to project an air of authority and invincibility. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/arts/television/donald-trump-tv-ice.html
  5. Yeah Sunday last year really wasn't even close to MotoGP level ... and damn, the yellows between the stages are just brutal. So stupid. ETA: Oh, and they'll likely restrict you from a huge portion of the track again this year, which sucks balls. Some of the best action last year was in parts of the track inaccessible to the fans.
  6. It, uh, sure looks that way, lol.
  7. My kid sent me this today from some kiosk at Barton Creek Mall. He said nobody seemed interested in buying it, so we got that goin' for us ... which is nice.
  8. I'm speaking generally. There will always be some or even many FDs that are more Trumpy than the areas they serve, but typically it will be nothing like what we tend to see with the PoPo imho.
  9. Man, don't get me started. Teachers get taken advantage of more than probably any other public employee subset.
  10. Este. The paid FD isn't gonna be much more Trumpy than the general population. Probably less so in Texas which, of course, is Trumpy af. But hey, some surlers knew some asshole Trumpy firefighters once, so they're probably all like that, right? I've probably known more asshole Trumpster FF than everyone on this board combined, but painting us all with that brush is idiotic.
  11. Don't forget the jacked, tough-girl special operator version of Jill Wagner❤️ from Wipeout .
  12. Pretty much this here.
  13. Let's just trade 'em Calfornia for Greenland, and then I'll move to California. Everyone wins!!
  14. Which of those guys are you referring to as a good source? First response: https://bsky.app/profile/da-jay-swizzle.bsky.social/post/3lhtqzzs63c2v (Bsky does not allow embedding of it for whatever reason)
  15. Balcones Heights stopped sometime last year.
  16. LOL. Grown-ass man who probably can't sleep without his blankie and a nightlight. The bigger they are and the tougher they talk, the bigger pussies they usually are.
  17. Yep. I've been saying for 35+ years how fragile it all is while watching so many people take it all for granted, acting as if none of the terrible things we see in other countries could ever happen here ... but here we are.
  18. IF saner heads ever return to DC, we really need to take a long, hard look at limiting/restricting/narrowing the President's pardon and EO powers, control over (lack of) background checks for appointees, access to sensitive data, etc, etc.
  19. How the “Subversive Genius” of Kendrick Lamar Sent Trump Home a Loser The Philadelphia Eagles and Kendrick Lamar’s collective of geniuses made this the Super Bowl we needed. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/super-bowl-kendrick-lamar-halftime-eagles-trump/
  20. Doohan v Colapinto ‘projection’ data reveals significant pace gap – report https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/cycling/doohan-v-colapinto-projection-data-reveals-significant-pace-gap-report/ar-AA1yHjaa
  21. Someone posted a video of it, but TrumpTok took it down. Looking for another one ...
  22. You have to squint a little bit and focus just past the image. What do you see here?
  23. Loads of s/m posts saying Trump was loudly booed at bars when his face was shown during the game. There are also people saying that he was actually booed loudly at the game and that Fox inserted cheers over the boos. Some are saying you could hear loud boos on foreign broadcasts. I have no idea how credible the rumor is, but given the large number of Eagles' fans there, it would make some sense and it would be no shock that Fox would do something like that. I did notice several times hearing a lot of booing when nothing was really going on on the field, and I couldn't figure out why/who they were booing or what they might be responding to on the stadium screens.
