  1. And this whole thing about en-dashes and em-dashes being indicative of AI usage can get fucked. That's just lazy analysis by people who have no idea how to use those punctuation tools.
  2. "Journalism" is where grammar and punctuation go to die.
  3. It actually depends whether the quote contains the entirety of the question or if the sentence containing the quote also is a question.
  4. When mine is up in January, I'll resubscribe with Stripe.
  5. That Waco location seems pretty hit and miss to me. I was pretty disappointed the last time we stopped through there, but this tray looks outstanding!
  6. I tried to resubscribe, but it won't let me. I tried to upgrade for shits and giggles and it tells me I have to cancel my subscription. I'm taking that as a sign to hold tight, Immamac's gonna call the Wolf, who will be here directly.
  7. I ran into that a bit when I first was dating my now-wife. I just ordered whatever I wanted at dinner and showed up to family functions with beer and wine. She and her siblings soon followed suit, and the in-laws got used to it.
  8. I definitely bought some gear from them over the years, but I always felt like I was getting ripped off a little. Last thing I bought was my 1973 Deluxe Reverb. I had a 1991 Les Paul HOF Deluxe (all gold). It had what I thought might be a crack in the neck near the headstock. I bought it used from GC for a very good price. Anyway, that Deluxe Reverb spoke to me and I was getting nervous about that crack migrating on the LP. So I offered it up, and they jumped on it, trading it straight across. I know they thought they were jobbing me (and they probably did a little bit, but I wanted to unload it and we made a deal. They had that LP upon their website the next day for over $3K (I'd only paid $1k for it). Who knows? Maybe it was a finish crack? I'd already had it looked at and the jury still was out on that in the "It's impossible to tell without sanding down the finish for a look). But that was the last time I ever dealt with them. But I still have that Deluxe Reverb, and it's still the best sounding amp I own. I also got another Les Paul (2014 Traditional), and even though it's not a custom shop guitar (let alone one of the first C/S guitars), it's a far better instrument than that HOF guitar was.
  9. It's one more equalized, idn't it?
  10. I always saw it as his being a little stunned and he forgot to drop the gun. Tossing it was like getting rid of something you forgot you were supposed to get rid of. It's like Sonny said, you're not killing from a distance. It's up close. Michael still is new to this.
  11. I'm thinking chocolate fountain to dip CheezIts in. And a CheezIts Cheese fountain to compliment it. But CheezIts dipped in chocolate sounds good for some reason.
  12. We at least should start a thread about it.
  13. He is. He said as much above. Gonna put the .net and .co versions too.
  14. I don't know what kind of spell you just unlocked with this statement, but I don't have a good feeling about it.
  15. The "Palace in the Prarie"? Th' fuck? The shithole in Norman.
  16. Our team should be forced to listen to that B/S chant Clockwork-Orange style to motivate them for years to come. /sigh. Go Bama

    We have a friend whose wife sells them every Thanksgiving. The sauce we got with them this year was amazing. Spicy as hell. I asked about it, and he said she wings it, but it's close to this My Spanish barely kicked in about 30 seconds in, but damn-it, I'm going to self-translate this shit. It's like a mix of spicy raw green and spicy creamy green sauce. As good or better than the sum of its parts.
  18. With all the Horns down on Game Day, I feel like we're in the playoffs.
  19. This could be any subreddit.
  20. Yeah, I'm late with this response. But not the first red-onion hate I've encountered. So posted partially in hope of an explanation of your incorrect opinion about red onions. I'll take my answer off the air three days from now.
  21. We had that as well. It was the first way I watched Godfather 1 and 2. Later, I watched them again individually and was confused why it started in the middle.
