  1. Just now, po elvis said:

    The committee will have to say one of these things:

    1. We left out an undefeated power 5 conference champion.

    2. We left out the SEC conference champion.

    3. We left out the Big 12 conference champion who beat the SEC conference champion.

    Number 2 is the easiest thing for them to say out of those 3.

    If anyone watches this game, I think 1 is the easiest to say. FSU and Louisville are hot garbage.

  2. From my State of New York, AOC did not vote, and Santos, Stefanik (I cannot stand her) and Tenney (another worthless lump) voted Nay.  Every other member of the New York delegation, including Lawler, Malliotakis, and Molianory (some of the worst of the GQP) voted Yay.  

    For Texas, the following voted Nay:

    Arrington

    Babin

    Carter (Someone needs to run against this hack)

    Cloud

    Fallon

    Gooden

    Hunt

    Jackson (SJL did not vote, so this is the other Jackson)

    Luttrell

    McCaul

    Nehls (this guy sucks)

    Roy (Carpetbagger)

    Self

    Sessions

    Van Duyne (she is horrific)

    We renewed our entire family of four and each one of us ended up getting automatic renewal in a matter of 2-3 days.

    Same. Both me and kids were simply renewed almost instantly

    I actually asked them, since I am coming up on a year.  I have had Global Entry since 2012, and when I renewed back in 2017, I got my approval and renewal in less than 2 weeks.  They are now saying up to 12 months.  I guess if I still do not have anyting by December 19th, then I reach out again.  I have reached out to my Congress person (Nadler), who was useless.  If nothing by December 19th, I might reach out to Chuck Schumer when I reach back out to CBP.  This whole thing is ridiculous.  And yes, I renewed online.  Everything is right.  It is so dumb.

    What's the point of having the ultimate fuck you money if you don't sometimes say, fuck you?

    Of course this board that has spent the last however many pages concern trolling about how advertisers would sink Elon is stung that he is apparently unbothered. He basically said fuck you to all of those posters too. Looks like they'll have to find another weapon to try to take X/Elon down. Perhaps more frivolous federal lawsuits or maybe direct legal action against him is up next?

    The reason that Elon/Twitter/X has caused such a frenzy since day 1 is that, as he said in the same interview, "The degree to which old Twitter was basically a sock puppet of the government was ridiculous."

    That's it. 

    Oh joy. You are back.  How much are you paid per post?  That is the only explanation for you coming back, time and time again, after getting crowdsourced each and every time.

    Saw “shucked” on broadway when I was there last month. Thought it was great. Funny as hell.

    Headed back next week and looking for a show or two. Thoughts? Probably do the day of 50% off thing at TKTS. Jesus hotels are crazy this time of year.

    Gutenburg! the Musical. Do it.

    Yeah--we used it last summer and I'm going to use it again in January.  

    The baggage allowance is small.  But if you're just there for a long weekend and you're just taking a carry-on, it's fine.  Otherwise, you're going to have to deal with a luggage-delivery service.

    But here's the thing: it's a combination transportation and sightseeing deal.  Yea, you get to the airport in 7 minutes.  And that kicks the shit out of an hour in an Uber (which is going to cost at least $100 on its own).  But you get an amazing sightseeing tour along the way.  From the 30th Street Heliport, you go south down the Hudson as Manhattan is restricted airspace.  You then hook a left south of the Battery, which gives you a great view of the length of Manhattan on one side and the Statue of Liberty on the other.  And then five minutes later, you're zooming up between the departure runways at JFK (which I found actually to be a bit unnerving) as you approach the helicopter terminal.

    Is it worth it?  I mean, yeah--I think so.  It's damned expensive.  But it's also something you're only ever really going to do in NYC.    

    I would love to.  Alas, I am always traveling International Long Haul.  A single carry on doesn't work.  Maybe for a business trip to Houston in the New Year.
