  1. But I was told that democratic presidents would pick winners and losers.
  2. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/08/texas-politicians-warn-smithsonian-it-must-not-lobby-to-retain-its-space-shuttle/
  3. Went there a few years back, and while the food was outstanding....we had the same experience. Seems like a swat team of waiters/waitresses were just standing behind us, ready to evict us as soon as possible. We might have spent less than an hour as well. Once the plates were cleared, a check was brought out before anyone asked us if we wanted to see a dessert menu. We paid and left. I'd happily go back if I could get assurances that we weren't going to be eating with a hand on our back shoving us to the door.
  4. Price controls. Seems kinda socialistic. I thought that was something the GOP was against. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-06/arkansas-governor-seeks-to-block-health-insurance-rate-hikes?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc1NDUyODg4NiwiZXhwIjoxNzU1MTMzNjg2LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUMExEMVhHUEw0NUcwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJBRTVERTA2NkY0MzM0RjhBQThFMjBGOUJEMDQ2NEMyNiJ9.97mjxZ9wMRreM9v5oK7V65kzGiEIwqNVrE_i4Wzc8Ks&embedded-checkout=true Arkansas Governor Seeks to Block Health Insurance Rate Hikes
  5. Mine hasn't suggested anything that I suspect I didn't need, but to be fair, I chewed loose leaf for 28 years. Chewed on the right side of my mouth exclusively. I did enough damage to my teeth on the upper right hand side that anything suggested to me for those teeth I went ahead and did it. I did quit 17 years ago, so I have that going for me. Funny thing, I go in for cleanings 4 times a year. Every so often they have a new hygenist who measures and records the gap. When she finishes up, she tells me that I need to brush and floss on the right side because the gap is so much greater than the left (1's and the occasional 2 on the left, 3's on up to 5 on the right). I had one want to book me in for an immediate root scaling. When I explain that was damage from chewing for decades, they understand.
  6. Pulled off of a different message board, but the analogy works for Vegas.
  7. For some reason, I've received a boatload of texts over the last week or so, spelling my name correctly, and telling me I've been approved for $40,000 or so whatever loan and they want me to call in and finalize it. I finally replied with a get fucked text, and within seconds, received a "you have been removed yada yada" text.
  8. The grifting opportunities are greater than what they could do in the collegiate coaching world.
  9. Nothing to see her, folks. Seems totally appropriate in this day and age. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/coding-error-blamed-after-parts-of-constitution-disappear-from-us-website/

  11. Hope you don't suffer from PVPS in the coming months. Good luck!
  12. Few years back, my then 10 year old daughter got hooked on King of the Hill by watching reruns with me. When the new season was announced, she was excited. Now almost 13, when I told her today was the day, she was happier than when she made the volleyball team at school. She was excited. We have a date tomorrow night to watch an episode or two.
  13. If you think of it as soap opera for men, it makes perfect sense.
  14. I think it is based of the time zone of the device that sent it. Either way, why does America's Grandpa need to be up at 2 am blabbering nonsense?
  15. "The Aristocrats!"
  16. https://www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-warns-windshield-replacement-cybertruck-quite-invasive-surgery-many-parts-need-be Tesla Warns: “Windshield Replacement in a Cybertruck is Quite an Invasive Surgery. Many Parts Need to be Dismantled, and the Old Windshield Essentially Has to Be Sawn Out of the Frame”
  17. Well, there's this pigmentation thing.
  18. In time, the federal government's official stance will be that Trump was never impeached; it's just fake news.
