  1. I got some Cruz spam text about how "trans people are going to ruin the 12 team playoffs system" or some nonsense. I'm sure no one reads these, but it gives me a creative outlet.
  2. The guy is implanting technology in human brains. I think we can let it count votes. But people who agree with him (since this isn't CR) definitely should request paper ballots.
  3. Dominion lawyers won't need Viagra ever again.
  4. My browser is set to delete cookies every time I close it, but I'll check. It's working fine on my Chromebook (Chrome browser).
  5. Still 503 for me. Windows desktop. Mozilla. Tapa works fine.
  6. RIP Fountainview Cafe. That place was great. Buffalo Grill used to do pretty well with breakfast, but it went local chain at some point a decade or so ago.
  7. I assume you meant to type "dad was from Beaumont." Otherwise, your post explains a lot more.
  8. The flour tortilla and ground beef is textbook, white-people enchiladas. And, as a white person who, under most circumstances would like to rise above his people's culinary deficiencies, I'll admit a weakness for these two components of WPE. However, that weakness presumes that there is about a gallon of canned enchilada sauce dumped over them, along with an entire block of that Old San Francisco Steakhouse cheese shredded over the top. Is your wife's family from the Midwest by chance?
  9. Reddit is reporting that it was a glitch and people's accounts are being adjusted back.
  10. Did anyone with kids at UT receive a "financial aid adjustment" email yesterday with zero explanation? We paid off our balance for the semester last week and, out of nowhere, UT suddenly wants an extra grand. The UT reddit is on fire about this right now with some people having received "adjustments" of $16K or as low as $10. So it seems like this is either a mistake or fallout from all the FAFSFA fuckery this year.

  12. Turns out that the same brand I put on my hifi console. Pretty quiet, but I definitely can hear it if the music isn't playing.
  13. For convenience's sake, be sure you can use a switched power outlet on the receiver or, otherwise, pick up a controllable extension plug so you can have the fan come on with the system. What is the noise level of this fan?
  14. I've never heard of anyone's being grumpy during that moment.
  15. When I first got my 52 AV, that neck used to cramp my hand up. I switched to 9.5s and everything just worked after that. It was that nice light yellow "butterscotch" and has, over the last seven years, darkened noticeably. These look killer! Enjoy!
  16. I mean, Prince obviously burned the place down. But Marc Mann isn't exactly chopped liver. There's a great NYT article about how it all went down. But the short version is that Prince never rehearsed that solo with the band because Mann took both solos in the rehearsal. After that, everyone got together to make sure he knew to take the outro solo, but nobody knew what was coming. I remember reading that his guitar tech caught the guitar and handed it to Oprah, who ultimately took it back to Prince backstage.
  17. I too own the big yellow plastic thing, which is still is in the box. One of these days, I'm going to clean a lot of records. For day-to-day, I just use a carbon anti-static brush on the record as it spins up. Every couple of records, I'll drop the stylus on a little, cut-out square of Magic Eraser to keep it clean. What table did the kids get you? Edit: Way old post. Please forgive the lateness of my reply.
  18. There's some dude who rides an elliptical bicycle in our neighborhood. I laugh every time I see it.
  19. Fucking dumbass! Quack quack!
