  1. This. People sitting in their own "echo chambers" watching only "news" outlets affirming their idiotic opinions. Facebook makes money by keeping people on it, so its algorithm just continues to spoon-feed people things that affirm their dumbass opinions, and they spend hours on FB, watching targeted ads and clicking "like" and replying, "He's the best president we've ever had."

  3. Cuban hispanic vs non-cuban latin american hispanic. That weird dance with the Castro factor affects everything. The over-arching blend of family still in Cuba, Communist regime, economic embargo, bad Cuban policy hits home with them.
  4. I'm surprised he wasn't in dress socks, pants around his ankles, reclined in a papasan, Jerry Falwell Jr. style.
  5. There are a lot of folks betting with their hearts and not their brains on predictit. haha, And I'm pronouncing it: "Pree-dick-tit," which makes me giggle like Beavis and Butthead.
  6. Wait, so he actually does everything he says Biden WILL do?
  7. Interesting visualization: https://dangoodspeed.com/covid/total-cases-since-june
  8. https://nypost.com/2020/10/16/plane-passenger-caught-smuggling-gold-in-rectum-to-avoid-taxes/
  9. Very similar (but fewer disingenuous smiles) to the conservative takeover (and Baptist civil war)of the Southern Baptist Convention. As odd as the Baylor folks are, their tight network of alumni kept the state baptist convention in Texas from being taken over, like in most other states.
  10. I know one research project that just went into the field at the first of the month in the Lake Charles area, to study how hurricane risk perceptions and responses were affected on an individual scale by risk perceptions and responses to COVID-19. Hurricane Delta threw a huge monkey wrench into that whole research project, so they're trying to amend the project to account for potential differences in the perception and response between both storms.
  11. In Tulsa, the humidity was high enough over a month of winter non-use to deteriorate the pellets in my Traeger hopper and congeal the dust in the auger, jamming it. It's pretty easy to disassemble, and clear the jam, and it's fine now. However, if I expect a period of idleness, I'll remove the pellets from the hopper and store in a freezer ziploc bag (and run the auger long enough to clear the tube (and wet/dry vac the little smoke pot). I buy the pellets by the bag from Amazon (full wood), and store in a plastic Kingsford charcoal container. One for mesquite, one for hickory, one for pecan
  12. This right here. Same. Sadly, there's a shit ton more rural red on my side of the Red River though. You may have seen them at WalMart.
  13. More on the Wichita arrest: https://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article246513655.html
  14. Ballot dropped off at Tulsa County Election Board.
