  1. Y'all, go hit up "Bread Boat" on 7th street, in the center near where Salt & Time used to be. It's a Georgian place, specializing in khachapuri: Nice indoor seating and a great little patio. Have eaten lunch there a couple of times now, it's damned good. And really ideal as colder weather comes in. They've got some hustle, they're really Georgian, they're proud of their product, and it's absolutely real-deal legit.
  2. Just a little attempted murder. Nothing to see here, move along citizen....if you know what's good for you.
  3. Now, that dude best spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and start metaphorically slitting some fucking throats. The regime fucking imprisoned you for a month because they didn't like your speech. Ruin them. Pursue them, all of their interests, their assets, their livelihood, to the ends of the earth. Don't stop until they are completely destroyed. Use every angle, every tool, every avenue legally available.

  5. Sigh. Glad the temps will be nice, because our AC won't be getting fixed till next Wednesday. Had our electrician come out for a full system check. Yep, we got hit by lightning on Friday night. A glancing blow, all things considered -- it took out our low-voltage stuff (one AC unit, our alarm, and tripped but didn't fry our internet). Fortunately, we replaced our main fuse box a coupla years ago, and that had a surge protector that saved everything else. Our heat still works, so we'll be okay on the chilliest nights. And otherwise, we're gonna live like pioneers with no AC.
  6. Giant hole in that outcome: how will Elon get rich that way? If there's no pathway to "Elon controls the planet because he's the richest man in history," then it's not on the table for Elon. It's so fucking fantastically stupid, it amazes me that anyone with an IQ above 30 buys it. Well, the diseased, aggressive monkey IS the most qualified candidate in Louisiana, so.....yeah.
  7. If you think something like that isn't being cooked up, you haven't been paying attention. First, it will exist entirely outside of the government. No Congressional action, anything like that. INSTEAD, it will be a creation entirely of "the Trump organization," because they really, really care about Americans. And it will work GREAT. At delivering dollars from the pockets of poor/working class Americans into the pockets of the Trump family. At delivering actual healthcare? Yeah.....not so much. The American people exist for one reason: to gratify and enrich Donald Trump. That's it. That's the sum total of purpose for our entire nation. We will get policy "solutions" that are consistent with that purpose.
  8. 100% And this part is really, really important: the demon is "DEI" and "CRT" and anything related to people who aren't white (mostly males). So, how do you GUARANTEE that no spot was offered to anyone for DEI/CRT/Affirmative Action/whatever boogeyman you think exists reasons? Easy. Only admit and cater to white males. There is a 100% guarantee that a white male was NOT admitted for one of those "reasons," so really, admitting only white males is the only safe thing to do. That's the end-game. They've fucking told you as much. Believe them.
  9. Brought to you by the bike lane capital of the world.
  10. Jesus, when even Helobious sees it.... Elon Musk believes that humans only have three purposes: 1) To provide close-to-slave labor (every dollar spent on a human is a wasted dollar). We'll likely be supervised by robots that dish out discipline and punishment for failure to make our quota of whatever. 2) To use all of their meager wages to buy Elon's goods and services. 3) For Elon to fuck, or try to fuck, with his broken dick. Seriously, those are the only three purposes for human life to exist, according to the Musks and Thiels. And they are doing everything they can, as fast as they can, to make that dystopian hellscape reality for the entire planet. And here we are, happily handing them the keys to the kingdom instead of doing what we should be doing: banishing them to a desert island and barring all contact with anyone else.
  11. Oxo. It's a game-changer. Their oyster knife is the best as well. Have my old wood handled traditional one. It's....fine. GOLL showed up with a fancy oyster knife from Maine. It was....fine. But the Oxo ones? Perfect. The point is exactly what you need, sturdy blade, great grip.
  12. Looks like some motherfucker forgot the NDA I had him sign.
  13. My friend. Follow me over to the football board.....
  14. And miss out on the glory of Krispy Krunchy chicken, one of the better chains around (that's ONLY found in gas stations)?
  15. It's solid -- one of the boy's go-tos in the UK (along with Popeyes, believe it or not). And my personal confession: I've never had Bojangles, and I hear good things?
  16. That cost-benefit changes as you get older and your time is literally more valuable. If I can bill for a half hour of time instead of do some task, it's almost always worth it to outsource. But when I was young and poor? DIY was almost always the right call.
  17. Oh, no doubt. Had to change out a headlamp bulb on my sedan a few years back. Found a video on Youtube, because I couldn't quite figure out how to pull the assembly. It showed me the way, then I did it and changed out a $3 bulb instead of a $150 assembly. As things have gotten more complicated, those tutorials are helpful, no shame in that game. I wasn't fixing a 1948 jeep, where you can see how every part is mounted when you open the hood -- I was fixing a more complex modern car. And don't discount the value of "doing a job well-done." The satisfaction of "yeah, I took care of that" has major value.
  18. Our "leader" is a fucking child. A petulant, tantrum-prone, toddler child.
  19. Sorry bro. "3-5 years" is a timeframe that literally does not exist. Only "this quarter" exists.
  20. I love that query. Let's translate it to reality: Would you like to spend nearly as much as the product price? For something you have a near-zero chance of needing? And if you do need it, we'll absolutely find a way not to honor it? It's triple-layer enshittification.
  21. Say what you will.....I bet if you cooked him up low and slow, he'd be pretty tasty.
  22. So much this. Looking back two of the best things I did for my son were (1) taking him on "work weekends" before deer season to a friend's ranch. Lots of "fixing broken shit," putting up new deer blinds, installing parts in vehicles, feeders, etc., fixing fences. Just stuff where you problem-solve, work with your hands and tools, and such. And (2) when he was 14, we bought a used go-kart. It needed work and customization. Bought him a set of tools, and told him and his friends to have at it. There were plenty of weekend days where there were three boys in the driveway, hands bloodied and greasy -- replacing an engine, adjusting the steering, adding lights, what have you. One of his buddies who worked with him is now getting an engineering degree, has a side-hustle fixing and selling go-karts, and has a job lined up with Peterbilt. And the boy knows how to use tools to solve problems (even when it gets frustrating). A shitload of his peers have no fucking idea how to do any of that stuff. Him? When something at his flat breaks, he figures out how to fix it and usually does. It gives him a level of self-assurance and masculine satisfaction, as most of us around here are familiar with.
  23. I mean, he legit lives in a fantasy world. Seriously, he thinks that Frank Frazetta paintings are reality.
  24. "Nobody knows more about cattle ranching than ___________." Yeah, we all know who goes in the blank. In fairness, sometimes some old school original recipe just hits. It's not my favorite fried yardbird, but I ain't turning it down. And once in a blue moon, I really want some.
  25. As a side note, no CR.....a lot of nice little treats like these, which are imported, are a lot more fucking expensive than they were a year ago. Because tariffs. It's a little irritation, but goddammit, it's an irritation.
