  1. Ok, I had to google "bsg" and (I think) it's Battlestar Galactica. (sorry if I got that wrong). I agree! BSG is effing amazing! (the "reboot", right?) with Katee Sackoff and Tricia Helfer?
  2. Agree. Welch was basically a corporate psychopath. Don't forget the UC economic "gurus" who also preached unfettered free-market shenanigans. What's distressing now (to me, at least) is the degree to which these policies are defended, even by those people who are most harmed by those policies.
  3. Yeah, I think it's the best tv show ever. Like modern-day Shakespeare.
  4. It better not be "recognized" by the world as genocide. If it is then genocide has no meaning.
  5. And that's not even close to the dumbest thing coming out of Southern Baptists' mouths.
  6. Well done. I'm guessing that you're a fan of Miyazaki's films?
  7. He sounds like a mentally ill person whose family is now as misguided as he was. Sad.
  8. Dang, awesome thread. I'm just 4 years late. For rice cooker I can't recommend the Zojirushi enough. I've bought 3. For tom yum soup I cheat and get a paste in a bottle from my local asian grocery store. Same with tom kha soup. Thanks for the note on differences between vietnamese and thai fish sauce.
  9. So when we have a chance to add something that's weird and cool, we just say "nah, b/c all the weird and cool stuff was gone 15 years ago"? I don't know if the word for that is shortsighted, or self-fulfilling, but what a strange way to basically guarantee that nothing new/weird/cool is ever added to the city or university. Just my opinion.
  10. I like Ellsworth Kelly's Austin. What I'm kinda worried about is moisture seeping into the widows where it joins the wall. If any black mold type stuff starts growing I hope they take care of it asap, and I can't imagine it won't grow. But, imo, it's weird stuff like this that makes a great university, and city. Good for UT and good for Austin for having this. Fuck the haters.
  11. Aren't there windows in the common areas? And don't the individual rooms have pretty good lighting? I don't think that's a nightmare at all. Imo, this is an interesting approach. People are going apeshit over it, though.
  12. Maybe neon, but I'm not going to wade through all the prior posts. So neg me all you want.
  13. I'm not much of a Rogan fan, but don't hate him, either. Imo, give this shit a rest (trying to cancel Rogan). This is not the battle worth fighting. Neil Young and the other 60's era musicians can take their music and their tens of dollars in royalties and do whatever they want. Rogan can have whatever idiots on his show that he wants. Again, "progressives" need to stop getting so butt-hurt over this.
  14. How about 10 years, then? Don't like that? Then don't get drunk and push away the hand of a flight attendant.
  15. Damn. Half surprised that guy wasn't shot and killed for that.
  16. Probably the Baptists. You know, the fundamentalist, racist Christians? Sadly, that covers most of Christianity these days.
  17. Nothing necessarily against BLM, but imo they share the same major weakness that afflicts the Dem party: sheer organizational incompetence. Absolute dumbfucks when it comes to being realistic and practical and achieving the (or any) mission.
  18. I want to like tech. I mean, they are like your slow-witted but mostly nice cousin you see once in a while at the family reunion. Not retarded, but not quite all there. They live in the trailer park and claim to like it that way. Their septic system is on its last legs and they don't really have potable water and everything in their garden is stunted and wilted. But they like to party and for the most part you can look past their faults. But every once in a while they get a burr in their saddle and have to be put down. That time is coming.
  19. Weird. Maybe I'm a bad person but I kinda find a cosmic karma thing going on when their own actions greatly hasten their own demise. The world is a better place without them. Literally. They could wind up killing your mom, grandmother, etc. b/c of their dumbshit anti-vax views.
  20. Haven't read any of the prior posts in re Clemens. Neg me all you want but he doesn't deserve to get into the Hall. I love him for being a Horn and all, but he's a liar and a cheater. Fuck him. Some people can't tolerate rudeness in a man. I can't tolerate those who should know better but lie and cheat nonetheless.
  21. The whole drinking piss thing is funny. Stupid but funny. I remember Ghandi saying something about doing that (for ostensible health reasons) and even referenced the bible where it says to "drink from your own well" or something like that. The stupidity of people is boundless.
  22. Yeah, never heard of her. Some of the comments/writing in the linked article mentioned her being in heaven. I wouldn't be too sure of that. Dipshits who knowingly put not only themselves but others at risk of contracting a potentially lethal virus belong in hell. Just my opinion.
