  1. Are you certain that shouldn't go in the "Wives & the Stupid" thread?

    & FWIW, my wide refuses to understand why a receptacle should be installed with the ground up vs. the "WHAAAT?" look.d24630baeb669997099f5dcbba76cf3a.jpg6a91f8051999c6d18e648797549f0477.jpg


    That's only for outlets controlled by a light switch so you'll know that they are.

    Unless you're using metal trim plates (like in a hospital) and are worried the plate will come loose and drop down on the plug as it's going in or out and short.

    Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

  2. Is the death penalty flawed in its current execution? Yes.

    Are there times when maybe an innocent person was executed? Probably.

    Is the death penalty way too expensive when we can just lock them up and throw away the key until they die off of old age? Sure.

    Should the death penalty be abolished? No.

    Despite all the problems, costs, etc, there are times when we just need to kill the fucker.

    Like this guy:

    (Don't read it if you can't handle it. Deals with the death of a special needs child.)

    That guy does not need to breathe air anymore. He confessed. He did it. Take him out back and put a bullet in his brain. Cheap. Easy. I'd be hard pressed not to just throw him in a pen with a bunch of hungry crocs or gators and let them eat him alive. That kind of piece of shit doesn't need to be sitting in a jail cell for 60 years.

  3. Well, luckily you may be able to find someone who just wants to be able to hook up with other people but not date them. That is also ENM.
     
    Pretty sure that's called "hot-wifing", but your probably going to tell us in great detail how hotwife and voluntary cuckold relationships are just one degree in the spectrum of ENM, instead of a wife who wants to enjoy extra dick while her husband waits at home or watches.

    Most people I've known who do this were socially-inept late bloomers and didn't have any or very little sexual experience before meeting and starting a relationship with their main partner who may have been their first sexual partner. Then one of them (usually the woman) starts thinking about what they missed out on by not having multiple playmates and the main guy (also usually socially inept and inexperienced and not wanting to lose this woman) talk and agree to open it up. The guy doesn't find anyone usually because he's happy with what he's got. The woman gets on some dating apps and meets some guys who want to fuck her (because she's got a pussy). She spends more time with one new guy and brings up the idea of polyamory to the old guy. New guy ends up moving in and they live as a throuple. Woman spends more time with new guy because he's new, and old guy either deals with it or gets upset. Most of these relationships don't last long - less than 5 years - because one person will eventually feel neglected. The ones that do are when the woman wants the 3rd to be another woman (bi tendencies) and the main woman sleeps with both but the man and new woman don't. Neither feel as threatened of being replaced by the other partner.

    There was a story I read a while back of a husband and wife in an ENM relationship with another guy who lived with them. She already had a kid with the husband. She wanted to get pregnant by the new guy and didn't want the baby born out of wedlock so she divorced her husband and married the new guy before the baby was born. They all three still lived together with now 2 kids. Seems fucked up for the kids, especially the one who now has divorced parents. What happens if she gets pregnant by the 1st guy again?

    And yes, almost every gay couple I know - including my best friend's relationship - are often going to parties or clubs or vacations or cruises and hooking up with whomever they can find. Every time I hear one of those stories or see pictures he took I just shake my head.

  4. Had a tripping shirtless homeless dude jump in the back of my truck after shoulder checking my mirror while I pulled past him at 6th and 35 this afternoon. He used the time to try to negotiate something that I was not able to discern. That was a fun experience on the commute home. 
    Just pull around to police HQ and start laying on the horn.
  5. Why in this day of email, texts, and phones do we need anybody to be a "liason" for anybody else?  Whenever I see the word "liason" I imagine the person being described as having a big, fat "I'm being paid a ton of money for doing nothing"  smile on their face.
    I talk to the police so the DA doesn't have to.

  6. Ok, I'm low on sleep and gonna ramble for a bit:


    Just make it pay based on wins. Nothing for losses.

    QB gets paid $2M/win. If they go 17-0 then win the Super Bowl, he gets $40M. If he goes 0-17, he gets a bus ticket home. Using that formula, Dak would've made $24M this year.

    Christian McCaffrey is set to be paid almost $12M next year. So make a RB's pay $525k/game. That gives him $6.3M so far this year.

    Tyreek Hill is set to be paid $30M per year. Is that a good cap for WRs? Seems high. That would make it $1.3m per win. At 11 wins, he makes $14.3M this year.

    Do the same for every position based on what the most elite player would get. Maybe keep a league minimum of $750k/year so people can have families.

    No "incentives" like number of yards or catches or sacks. The QB can hand it off 70 times in a row and he gets paid as long as they win.

    Your reward for playing well is you get paid. Your punishment for screwing up, turning the ball over, etc, is you don't.

    Do the same for the coaching staff.

    Players will have a bigger drive to actually win and will be held accountable by their teammates. Coaches will have to prepare better and will be held accountable by their players. No more playing for draft picks if every game affects your bank account.

    Fuck it.









  7. Fair point.  They probably need to develop some better heat(ing) technology for delivery platforms. 

    .....

    Or have one of the dozen delivery services get it for you and bring it hot to your home. 


    Newsflash: most restaurants (and food trucks) do nothing to keep your food hot while waiting for a delivery person to show up, and many delivery people don't use insulated bags to keep it hot (or cold) while they drive the 20+ minutes to your house because you weren't paying attention and order from the wrong location instead of the one close to your house.

    I don't do it much anymore, but the former food manager in me used to hate showing up at a restaurant and seeing bags of food just sitting on a counter or a rack with no heat lamps or anything. Who knows how long it's been there? I once picked up from Mod Pizza on 360 and the pizza box was just sitting on a counter completely cold. I asked them to remake it and they refused, so I took it and texted the customer about what was going on abs they still bitched at me for the cold pizza even though I put it in an insulated bag as soon as I got it.

    And y'all need to quit ordering shakes from Hopdoddy when you live 20+ minutes away. It's not going to still be frozen when it gets there, even in a bag.

  8. I agree with most of this, but it only tells part of the story. I went to Ranch 616 for dinner last weekend. I used to pay $35-$40 for their Southwestern Mixed platter - Quail and some other stuff. They had excellent food (at least before the owner died and the chef left) so I didn't mind paying the price for good food and atmosphere. Anyway, the price of the platter is now $60 for 1 person so with a couple of drinks, the price would be $100/person. And the appetizers were in the $25 range if one decided to go that route. I'm way too cheap to pay that for a casual night out. I think, and I may be wrong, most people feel the same way. Post COVID and inflation, I find the cost/benefit ratio of going out to eat in Austin out of wack. I think a lot of restaurants will continue to fold as most people give up and get a fast food type meal or eat at home. Mid-tier places such as the Pappas chain, or those lost places in NW Austin or Four Corners are in for rough times.
    Yep. Would sometimes take the wife and kids to Applebee's or Chili's because it was close by at the time and I knew they had something the kids would eat. Appetizer, 4 meals, dessert, non-alcoholic drinks - the bill with tip would be $75‐85. The last time we went with the same type of ordering and the bill with tip was $110‐120. Even the "cheaper" places are becoming not so cheap anymore.

    There's a steak place in Giddings we sometimes drive out to because they have a drink my wife really likes. Used to cost about $135 with tip (several alcoholic drinks included). Now it's over $200.

    Stopping at Whataburger happening more often.





  9. This is about a married couple, so... that was a lie.
    It's the greatest lie women ever tell - that they were going to initiate some sex act later but because you pissed them off they aren't going to do it now.

    Narrator: They were never going to do anything later even if you did everything right.

  10. I might have mentioned this in the thread on the old site:

    Back in the early 90s pre-internet days when you actually needed a phone number to use your 1200 baud modem to dial into a BBS, I would chat or play text-based games with a bunch of anonymous people (maybe 20 at a time, max) and flirt with several ladies. I was in my early 20's fresh out of the Air Force. One particular young woman took a horny liking to me and wanted me to come to a party one of the guys was throwing at his apt off 51st street for that BBS' users. I went, met a bunch of people including the guy, met the chick and eventually left with her and fucked her. There were a few other get-togethers to play pool or whatever, and I hooked up with that chick several times.

    The guy who had the party at his apt? James Noer, the guy who killed the Red Rose dancer in 1991-92.



  11. Change it to "thought about needing to tell me something, rehearsed the conversation multiple times in her head, got distracted by something on her phone, eventually remembers the mental conversation and convinced herself it actually happened, then argues that she told me and nothing I can say will convince her otherwise and I'm an asshole and she was going to suck my dick later tonight but now I can just forget it"

  12. Little baby is so much easier at store than toddler. Especially with a good car seat swaddle going.
    When my son was first learning to walk and still needed to hold onto something, he'd hold the rear bottom of the cart and we would walk really slow through the store. He loved it. People would wonder why I was moving so slowly until they saw his little self happily "pushing" the cart. Lots of women would stop and comment.

    He just turned 10 a couple months ago. Daughter never did it though. She turns 8 next month. Time flies.
