  1. I gotta go with the Hendrix version, or Stevie at the Astrodome. But yeah, during the SSB at sports or other events these days, I'm exceedingly uncomfortable at best. I'm guessing my Navy veteran Dad is spinning in his grave.
  2. Sure. But not quite the same as a months-long tour. I hope he uses the pub he's getting from the SB appearance to shed more light on why he didn't do that tour.
  3. I think live music has been affected. Didn't Bad Bunny decide against an American tour because he feared ICE raids at his concerts?
  4. Don't say the mooseoutfront didn't tell ya so ...
  5. Yep. My bingo card just fucking sucks. Didn't have "Police called in to calm out-of-control golf hooligans". You stay classy out there on the links, 'Murica.
  6. Welp. My bingo card just fucking sucks. Didn't have "Police called in to calm out-of-control golf hooligans". You stay classy out there on the links, 'Murica.
  7. What's the score, yo?
  8. It was always very intriguing strategy-wise, trying to discern what fuel strategies people were on, etc, but there wasn't a lot of passing on the track. The mistake I think many people make in that regard though (not y'all) is just assuming that the presence of refueling was the primary driver of the lack of passing. It was a completely different formula with super-durable tires that lasted a full race. Currently there wouldn't be much passing without DRS, either. In the refueling era they had no DRS but had the same problems following closely. Probably worse in that regard. I dunno if refueling would help with variability in the current F1 world. It might, or might not, but the automatic assumptions that many people make about its effect on the racing are overly simplistic imho. There are so many factors to consider. One way it could help with variability would be when some cars at the start of the race are fueled heavy to go further without stopping, vs others that fueled very light to stop sooner, creating performance differences among the cars on the track.
  9. ... and she's an insurance lawyer, at that. LOL.
  10. And this. I could never justify the cost.
  11. That's cool, and I know there are some golfers I'd like to hang out with.
  12. Yep. I've always thought I'd enjoy golf, the technical nature of it, the beautiful courses, fresh air, sunshine, etc. The biggest thing that always kept me from picking it up was knowing that I'd have to be around golfers to do it. Thanks, but I'll pass.
  13. Desperate. He knows more and more people can see right through him and know what he's done. Every word he says is him trying to convince them otherwise.
  14. This right here. Regimes like this always fall. It's just a matter of when.
  15. Fucking POS, that dude. Karma's gonna be a real bitch to him.
  16. What if the rapture has already happened, and we just didn't notice, and all the good people have already been taken upstairs? Might make some sense of the mess we have ... ETA: Never mind. I see I was way too slow with that lol. Maybe COVID was the rapture.
  17. Family friend at one of the local affilaites told me that TJH is the biggest local tv ad spender in SA, Austin, and Dallas. Probably more.
  18. I was posting that more in reference to Trump incorrectly thinking Chicago is hosting the WC (shocking, I know), but yeah ...
  19. Yeah the cheapest I could find in SW Austin the last couple of days was $2.69 for Regular and $3.79 for Premium. $1.79 my ass. Average price right now is $3.16. The lies know no end. ETA: I can't find where he said it's $1.79, but in May he said it was $1.98 when people were paying about $3.16 on average at the pump (same as now). So, what he was doing there is quoting a futures price of unfinished gasoline on the 'RBOB', not the pump price. At best, it's slimy and disingenuous. Really though, it's just a lie. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/where-trump-is-likely-getting-his-1point98-gas-price-figure.html
  20. The newest polling data from the Associated Press and National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago found that 49% of Republicans think that the United States is heading in the right direction, which was down from 75% in June. https://apnews.com/projects/polling-tracker/
  21. He also said he'd move the WC out of Chicago if he thought it wasn't safe.
  22. He also said that we're currently experiencing record non-inflationary growth right now. "There's no inflation", he says repeatedly, like a Jedi mind trick. I guess we're all just imagining the high prices we're paying. Gets worse every time I go to HEB (when it's open).
