  1. I am headed to CS tomorrow to hang out with my son, DIL, and her family. Immediately upon arrival, my daughter, son, and DIL will take off for Waco to visit my ex-MIL. Intel confirms ex-wife has left the country, so grandma was “advised” today that her Christmas will be tomorrow or never. They are so angry at my ex (their mom) that the non-contact will continue indefinitely and perhaps forever. I still almost regret my parting words to her; “you’re going to die alone.” Mainly because that spiteful, angry prediction is proving likely. She took active measures to destroy my son’s marriage and is neck-deep in the FO phase. In the 5-6 hours it will take the kids to do the CS-Waco RT, my wife and I will be chilling with my son’s MIL, FIL, BILs, and dogs. I’m sure we are going to have a blast. The women plan to get shitfaced and laugh. So that leaves me, my son’s FIL and his sons to cut up, chill out, and throw tennis balls to the dogs. Maybe burn meat, pee in the yard, and talk about Jimbo’s plan to turn it around. Eventually my son and I will return to Beaumont in one car while the women follow in another. Later this week we’re going to the gun shop and shooting range to evaluate, practice, and buy more pistols. The women have decided it’s time to start carrying. And I’m looking forward to getting refresher training from a current US army shooting instructor. I’m supplying the guns, he is contributing the ammo and the expertise.
  2. Best part about lignite mining is the ever changing pastoral landscape scenes, amirite?
  3. Important question for you. Highway 7 or 164? Best woody's was the early '90s version, east side of 45 only, little wooden smokehouse with a counter, no bathrooms, hell, I don't even think they sold cold drinks back then. And Texas Burger had the blue bell scoops.
  4. Nah, that's not personality disorder stuff, it's just high-functioning autistic shit. Personality disorders would burn the place down whereas I think Elon actually has some degree of self-awareness. He really is a visionary with concepts, it's the execution that's so horrendously awful.
  5. The ones at Costco this morning were “peeled” and choice was $22.95 and prime was mid $30s. Choice New York strips were $8.99 and ribeyes $12.99 IIRC. I’d verify but they are in the cooler buried under all the Christmas gifts, but I’m grilling them tonight. They also had rib roasts which looked good. I’m doing steak for 10 on the 30th but didn’t source those yet. I don’t drink but my wife picked up half a case of the Kirkland brand Prosecco.
  6. The very trimmed choice Tenderloin was $22.95 a lb at the one in Houston last week; I can’t do Austin but I’ll be at the Houston one in the am.
  7. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/16/us/politics/jan-6-defendant-assassination-plot.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
  8. My daughter is a media buyer and I can’t wait to pick her up at the airport tomorrow and hear firsthand what the Twitter shitshow looks like from the buyers side.
  9. @MaybeACoordinator I read the obit, too; I have a friend he used to cover way back in the day. Hate to hear it. Those demons can trample many people who move to Nashville. In 2022 traveled extensively, and while on airplanes or in rental cars would go down musical wormholes, and as a recovered alcoholic, it sometimes became unbearable, simply because country music is pretty much about either having feelings or attempting to escape them. IMO the family wants solace and closure, and since they can't understand the disease, they cling to their narrative. At one funeral for a 41 yr old, I heard, "His heart just gave out; I guess the good lord needed him in heaven," when he took too many Xanax and didn't wake up. I've seen that scenario or a variation thereof about a dozen times since I put the plug in the jug. Edit: Unrelated, but I discovered this site - https://www.farcethemusic.com/ and it's funny.
  10. LMAO. See, Trump will be having a gala dinner in South Florida, and you will attend, but it will be on zoom, and you'll be eating whatever TV dinner you can nuke in your trailer's kitchen, in Alabama, you schmuck!
  11. Plus I'm pretty sure giving my credit card number to some MAGA dipshit is B1 on the bingo card. See "click here to opt-out of recurring donations" in tiny fine print as the GOP fundraising bingo square. Come to mention it, I would be amazed if this NFT scam didn't have recurring purchases as the default setting at checkout. The O/U on how many twits buy one just to watch the technology trainwreck?
  12. Not one of the above posters, but another prolific right winger from this site called me from a bar one night, feigned a conversation, and then begged me to call the bar and give them my credit card number to cover his bar tab because he knew his credit card was over the limit and was going to be declined. I declined, of course. Sad.
  13. Paging ocugolf? Can you ask a few subtle questions at the family Christmas gathering?
  14. "Price Harmonization" - I'm in the software business, my firm's pricing goes up 8% on Jan 1, and 15% in India, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Sweden Let's not overlook the Fed's impact on global rates and foreign currency exposure.
  15. My best friend at work rented a Tesla at OAK yesterday, dropped his suitcase and briefcase at the hotel room, and drove to meet a client for coffee. While he was inside, somebody smashed his window, climbed into the trunk, and stole the charging pack. I told him the perpetrator probably had to fence the charger to get cash to meet a margin call on his TSLA.
  16. That's because all their ex-husbands are out banging sugar babies, right?
  17. I can’t remember, did the national pandemic plan that W. commissioned and Obama continued before Trump abandoned it contain provisions and guidelines for pandemic, stimulus, inflation, stagflation, deflation, economic downturn, and Russian invasion?
  18. This morning my wife and I were having a solemn moment, fondly remembering Mike Leach. Then we ridiculed Craig James.
  19. For my own sanity, I hit pause on the outrage machine and went to the twatters to investigate, and I can't find it. All I'm saying is that this matrix of exponential disinformation is working my last nerve. Example - this morning - yay, I'm up thousands, got CNBC on, surely the markets have factored in a 50 basis point rate hike, no need to punch out. Oh no now I'm down thousands. This simulation is exhausting.
