  1. is there a primer or something on Meloni and why she is considered the next Mussolini? After watching that linked video, Ted probably cries himself to sleep each night just wishing he could speak with such conviction and not come off like a sniveling cunt every time he opens his mouth
  2. no real disagreement. we know the end result, i just wish they could have introduced a grander arc outside the castle politics. Some broader Westeros issue that would amp up the tension on the rulers and was not solved in an episode and a half. Maybe the jump in time makes that not work. nothing has gone to the brink yet. maybe just some gratuitous quelling of rebellion with a full wing of dragons
  3. too much plotting/internal royal strife. needs another arc alongside all this to make it more interesting. like the whitewalkers arc in GOT to drive a little (ok a lot) more action and intrigue. turning into what i imagine real housewives of westeros would be like. previews looked good though.
  4. we got our kids' passports (new, not renewal) about a month earlier than the 'drop dead' date. We had the appt Aug 29th and got the passports on Sept 24th. paid for every sort of expedite, but guess we did not need to. Did not want to chance missing a mid Nov trip.
  5. yeah, i was about to post the same. hate to defend aggy, but that term did not set me off in light of how a popular DFW radio station uses it.
  6. yes, tex-mex talk not going away lol
  7. seems like his uncle rico "i never got to play" moment. Dude probably could have played the entire UTSA game, but scooters...
  8. i think cobra used to shill for Soils Alive. I have been using them for a few years and have no complaints.
  9. the queso served there was so bad it should have been a war crime
  10. so did anyone see Ewers pass out at 31 Flavors or not?
  11. lol at the ankle monitor. where's Bert?
  12. subscribed. i have been (trying to) stretching for like 5 mins a day with some you tube sourced stretches. just started but at 48 and still trying to play pickup ball on weekends, my back has been killing me. Seem to help so far.
  13. i dont think any of the studies on humans are complete yet. From what i understand, they approved the variant booster similar to how they approve the strain of the Flu vax each year and did not go through the whole approval process like they would for a new drug.
  14. Klatt watching the aggy debacle...
  15. quoted for truth flew SW (DAL to PNS). we forgot to check in on time and ended up being basically the last people to board the plane. Wife and i still got window exit row seats and plenty of space left for carryons. gave our early teen kids the peace sign and told them to find their own seats further back in the plane. so many families with young kids flying to Florida that basically no one even took the exit rows on a full flight. i was expecting to ride bitch in a middle seat.
  16. used tasker way back in the day before BT headphones. not even a csb, but set it up to start spotify when i plugged in analog headphones into the phone port. I think you had to root your phone for it to work though back then.
  17. yeah, fucking butthurt nerds can go and somehow get the rights to Tolkien's early stuff and write their own version. I am very gruntled with the first 2 episodes. I mean, what do people expect when they cannot lift the story to use?
  18. Davey stepping into the bear trap of Klatt's sobriety was top notch as well
  19. i am sure you could request some help to get to the min spend for one of those
  20. this. we also have the texas tuition thing and 529 plans that we started at basically birth. 12 years later and we are projected to have a public school covered, but doing the math on a private school...yeesh...back to the salt mines.
  21. golf is serious bidness. last time i played was with some work colleagues. We had 2 groups and the latter one was paying a bit slow as 2 of them were spraying the ball all over the place. aholes behind them were super mad about slow play i guess. Everyone was talking in the parking lot after the round and the 2 guys sped by and swerved really close to our group almost hitting us. we have conditioned ourselves with the illusion that we should never be inconvenienced for anything at anytime.
  22. we had a 2020 flight cancelled DFW-LHR for covid (4 biz class tix). should have just gotten refund but just kept it as credit as we wanted to make the trip when feasible. finally rebooking for this Nov and it's a pita 'cause we could not do the credit on the website for our kids or something. wife calls up and the cs rep said that we would have to essentially beg some other entity within AA to get our credit because it had been ~ 2 years since booking. Had to finally get a supervisor to sort it out, but the balls on AA to instruct their cs reps to imply that keeping ~$20K of our money is cool and that we then needed to 'plead our case' to get to use that credit. All sorted out in the end, but eff them. will always take the $ and run for any future credits.
  23. yeah, upon further review, i would demand to see the video. they could be full of shit on what the video shows and pressing charges/not pressing charges i would want to know the truth. would also want to see who was 'around' the girl when it happened. she was probably dared or some stupid shit to do this. may be worth seeing who she was with and what her reaction was after the push. at least then you would know who look to look out for if any sort of retaliation were to arise.
