    Scarcity in this context isn’t as simple as the availability of drug A, B or C.

    It’s also about developing new drugs in the future.  Also, access to the most cutting edge drugs, which as I understand it are delayed in availability to countries that have implemented drug price controls.

    Source for this? I'm curious. But skeptical.

    Pretty good haul so far. We are going to work on the main trunk tomorrow. Brother has a smoker so he will be taking a lot. But I’m thinking about converting my gas fireplace to wood this year since this tree was part of my home value.

  4. After a one year Covid delay, tomorrow is the big start day for UIL Water Polo.

    I just got back from 5 days at National Junior Olympics in Dallas and my voice is shot, so tomorrows practice will be interesting.  Talked to quite a few coaches about the upcoming season, and there is definitely lots of excitement building. It's an opportunity for us to really bring some recognition to the sport on our campuses, even though most of us have been playing for years.  

    This past year, I was a part of the US Olympic Development coaching staff for the Southwest Zone and I will tell you that there are some strong athletes coming out of Texas.  Several were selected to attend the National Camp, and although non made the final Youth National team, the potential for Texas athletes is evident. We just already have such strong aquatics programs and athletes.

  5. Big section of an old tree fell down last week. Brother and I have been working on it. Got lucky that brush pick up is this week. Already have the limbs out by the curb 7e146255217039277388813d18d64420.jpg

    I waited in line for four hours at snow’s once and the guy in front of me was a hipster cunt and ordered a “slice of brisket” and then had them punch his tour of texas bbq card or whatever.  true story. 

    Did that set you back a whole lot?

    Last night my 7 year son told told me I had bad smelling poops, and it's probably because I ate a lot of beans in my life. This is true, but it's probably more because of snacks like these.  I told him to stay out of my bathroom

    My wife. She also puts coins in my wallet. Which is absolutely mind boggling to me. I try really hard to never allow her to touch my wallet, but what are you going to do?  The one times year she touches it she fucks it up. The bills are stuffed in there nonsequentially and facing every which way, with coins jammed in as well. 
    like, every single time she touches it it ends up that way. 

    Need one of these

    Today was a travel day. Garner state park to Big Bend. 
    when you travel shit flies around if it’s not locked down tight. I put my money in an envelope, $578.86 in the microwave because fuck it- we’ve never once used the microwave in the entirety of the time we owned the RV. Told my wife that was where the money was. 
    went outside to drink 5 beers before bedtime after a long ass travel day. 
    just got a text from the wife- the 11 year old girl decided she was going to make herself a s’more in the microwave (seriously what the fuck- who makes microwave s’mores?) and ignored the fact that there was a giant fucking envelope in the microwave, started it up to make her smore, and caught the envelope on fire, burning said $578.86 and ruining the microwave. Then she ate the fucking s’more even though, you know, it was in a microwave on fire with metal coins. 

    Who the fuck puts coins in an envelope with cash?

    I feel like that track is the exact moment that disco morphed into EDM.  You really hear and feel it in the synth bass and the hi hat upbeats.  

    Good thread, btw.  

    I think it's unfair and perverse that disco - mostly made by some really talented musicians with great hooks/vocals/percussionists/string arrangements/etc. - had a 5- or 6- year run, and now the entire genre is considered a punchline.  And EDM, which I would argue requires FAR less skill and imagination (dragging loops into software platforms) is going strong after four decades.  

     

    It is Giorgio!    Yeah, I've always been a fan of the genre and ignore the haters.  I do like EDM as well.  I was listening to Chic Pandora today and was going to come back to post the Sister Sledge song you followed up with.
