  1. Agree with others that Raiders of the Lost Ark is in a different category than Die Hard, Terminator, etc. I also think everyone is sleeping on the best action movie - Aliens. The cast, the music, the pacing - it's all perfect. Nothing tops it for me.
  2. reported for @WhatTheBuck
  3. Interesting it's in the front of the bag, given that it's labeled on the back of @Brisketexan.
  4. I still don't see this going back to Sacramento but it would be a cool scene if it did. I'm not a native Sacramentoian or whatever so not super invested in team, but I live just 30 minutes from the stadium, need to see if there's any outdoor watch parties.
  5. Are you aware that there is a gambling forum which includes a specific thread on NBA gambling? No offense but nobody gives a shit about your live gambling updates. It's like hearing someone talk about their fantasy team. Good for them but nobody else cares.
  6. It boils down to the fatty platform. Just like I do truly believe he doesn't want kids to get killed in school, he wants his guns and boat more than dead kid reduction. I do believe that a significant number of Republicans would prefer to cool it on the grooming bullshit, but not at the expense of guns and boats. And since their vote is taken care of, the truly hateful are the drivers of the Republican bus. None of the passengers care enough to take over the wheel because it's still getting them to the gun and boat store, even if they run over a few gays and kids on the way.
  7. @TwiceHorn or other Surly lawyers (don't want to crash the board by @'ing them all) - any thoughts on this analysis?
  8. Don't presume too much. I work in prow desafío al consulting, and I think it's pretty comparable.
  9. Wait wut? Just after C-Man claims "you know better" you equate the reaction to Harlan Crow with George Soros. Obviously Crow and his relationship specifically with Clarence Thomas has received a lot of press in the last month or so but I don't know how you even begin to equate the left's view of Crow vs the right's view of Soros as ultimate boogeyman of everything wrong with America. You may want to revisit your stance there @C-Man.
  10. What a shittily written tweet / headline. From the source: "Maria Bartiromo & Jeanine Pirro To Be Fired From Fox News As Rupert Murdoch Moves To Be Less ‘Vulnerable’ After $787.5 Million Defamation Settlement, Critic Predicts". From the article: "Byers also indicated that, if the two reporters are not fired from Fox News, Bartiromo and Pirro will be warned to “be careful” regarding risking committing libel in the future.". Ok, so they may get fired. Or they may get warned. Or maybe go fuck themselves.
  11. Um @jimmyjazz may want to edit that to save face. I believe that's Owen Wilson.
  12. I'm not sure what you mean by "had some run-ins". If you mean had a gun pulled on you, then I suspect the majority of this board has NOT had this happen. In the context if this thread (and the similar one on the kid who got shot going to the wrong door) I also don't think the majority of this board has had a confrontation after pulling into the wrong driveway / knocking on wrong door. I agree that the large majority have had some level of general confrontation with someone but that is incredibly vague. The reason these cases are drawing increased attention is because these are situations that shouldn't have had any run-in / confrontation at all.
  13. I don't think a pardon helps him because I agree with you that he's never going beyond Governor of Texas (whether he realizes it or not). I just also don't think it's going to hurt him. There won't be meaningful consequences because the alternative is a Democrat. It's like the story that (I think) Bozo_Casanovo talls about Ken Paxton. Donor's still contributed (albeit not as much) and he still won handily.
  14. Sure, but they're also not going to stop funding and voting for Abbot, at least not at alternative of getting a social marxist commie at governor. They won't like it but they'll have zero problems holding their nose while writing the check.
  15. We don't need to wait until football season to make fun of aggy. The screenshot thread in 9.95 delivers value all year long.
  16. That can't be real, can it? Or if it is, surely he's trying to be sarcastic. right? Don't get my hopes up you son of a bitch.
  17. Also nobody outside of Arizona, Hawaii, or Indiana gives a shit about planning anything with anybody in those states. Dealing with time zones for national / global business is already enough of a pain in the ass without further trying to remember if the Houston / Dallas / Austin office is 2 hours off, 3 hours off, etc.
  18. Totally agree with @wildcat09 that she shouldn't be on the judicial committee. I do wonder if there isn't some pressure from CA democrats to keep her in the senate though. There's already been commentary earlier in this thread on the political grenade her resignation would throw into the democratic party. There's going to be some ugliness in terms of who is nominated for that seat, and I suspect that Newsome would love to not have to make a decision.
  19. I agree that signing Harden likely doesn't help the team (pending where this year's pick ends up) but what exactly have they done to become a team that competes for championships? They've embraced shitty coaching, lack of structure, no winning culture, etc., for the last two years. I'm not sure what exactly you think there is to damage.
  20. Maybe so, but I've seen a lot of "they took my kids because of x" and it turns out they left out y, z, and all the Greek letters. If she's telling the truth then obviously it's bullshit and she should get her kids back. I'd also be surprised if her tweet thread is an accurate depiction of events.
  21. This could all be true but Rebekah Jones is a whackadoodle and I'm suspicious of her claims in general. She's a good grifter, just targeting anti-MAGA / anti-Ron.
