Oh hell yeah.
This one time, not at band camp? I wandered up to a keg party. Vaguely knew somebody there. Was hungry as hell but no $. Party's next door to some pizza place. So I asked the keg dudes if they wanted some pizza. Then I asked the pizza dudes if they wanted to come drink beer. Before long, we all had free pizza, and the pizza dudes were drinking free beer. I was doing both. People kept thanking me.
We should put your ass in charge of peace in the Middle East.

How's this for a cheap bastard move (I haven't done it in years, but back when I was young and we'd go to NOLA to raise hell, this was a go-to move).
At some point in the evening, somebody wants to go to Pat O'Briens. So, we go. Signature drink -- Hurricane, served in the fancy souvenir glass for $12. What most tourists don't know is that you can get it in a wax cup for $7 (or something like that), and you can SELL BACK your glasses to the bar for the difference. So, they keep ordering them and getting extra glasses. I'd spot a table of folks with a bunch of glasses in the middle -- clearly they've been drinking a lot, and clearly they have more glasses than they want for souvenirs. I'd walk up to the table, and give 'em a sob story about how my little sister and her friend really want a souvenir -- could I have a couple of their extras? It worked 90% of the time.
I'd take two glasses, turn them in at the bar, pocket $10, and move on to another table. I'd do that 4-5 times (it's a big place), pocket $40+, and finance my drinking adventures for the evening.

The irony is the Russians freaking suck at planning and organization. The first time we had to load out a bunch of drilling tools in our Russia operation, the locals were clueless on basic logistics. It made me wonder what the hell we were afraid of back in the Cold War. Sure they had a huge army, but no way they could get it where it needed to be when it needed to be there.
You arrogant ass....

Did schools cancel classes and offer safe spaces, crayons, puppy therapy, cry closets and play do when Republicans were elected 30 years ago?
I certainly don't remember any shit like that. And I don't believe it is the same old same old.
The University of Texas didn't. And it hasn't done so today.
There's always been hairy-armpitted dens of irrational libs - some universities are known for it.
And there's always been rigid "bible colleges" and service academies that echo, in varying degrees, traditional "right wing" ideologies.
The idea that the REAL tortured, repressed group is white males is fucking laughable and pathetic. Yeah, sometimes college campuses have yahoos that want to elevate all handicapped Filipinos to the position of "exalted world leader" or some similar idiocy. And sometimes college campuses have "conservatives" wearing diapers and play-acting about safe-spaces. Whatever.

Counterpoint: it sucks.
I think it's the best anthem out there, but understand that my main criteria are (1) does it truly evoke and capture the essence of the country it represents, and (2) is it a great piece of chest-puffing music for said country?
Russian, French, British, are the best. In that order.

i've lived in both and find austin to be the worst. probably depends on what exact route you take.
everyone thinks their weather and traffic is the worst
i love driving in houston because you have lanes and shit. like lots of them. its glorious.
And everyone is aggressive as hell and is trying to kill you in Houston. Which is awesome, because that's PREDICTABLE.
In Austin, everyone has their head up their ass, and you have no idea what they'll do next -- just be assured, it will be something selfish, clueless, and stupid.

What was your address again? Must've lost it.
I've got some good stuff, and I live near you. We'll get Chitown on Skype, toast the country, and sing the Russian national anthem.
Because (1) irony, and (2) goddamn, that's a great national anthem.

Not one blood in the streets martial law prediction? Seriously?
For the same reason that in my "I hopped in the car with a drunk driver," the smart bet is "they get home alive."
Trump hasn't made it "more likely than not" that some bullshittery (contested election, attempted usurpation of power, etc.) occurs. What he has done is increased the likelihood of the previously unfathomable and unacceptable. So, it's not LIKELY that Trump will refuse to leave office if he loses the next election. But it's more POSSIBLE than it's been in modern memory. That's the problem.
You continue to argue against the strawman of certainty, when those around you are only arguing about unacceptable increased possibilities.

I actually think the only place that could work would be the old Motorola site on Ed Bluestein. It’s the only area that could possibly handle that type of growth. Far East austin, Manor and Elgin can handle, maybe even use, a lot more growth.
It really is the only place that would work.

There are plenty of times that downtown to NW Hills, around 7 miles, takes 50+ minutes. Again, minutes per mile, Austin is among the worst in the country.
With inadequate infrastructure. So let’s add 200k people.

I'm so tired of the phrase "rule of law." So meaningless.
It’s become a proxy for “using the power of the state to be a dick to people I don’t like.” Which is kinda the opposite of “an objective system of order that applies to all and provides a fair process.”
the term is one of many to die under this regime.

2025. Maybe.
The only question is whether he lives that long. It’s okay, though. President Ivanka will protect his legacy.

What a fucking shitshow.
Seriously. Every fucking day, another epic pratfall. This isn't the gang that couldn't shoot straight. They can't even work their way up to something as sophisticated as a gun.
They're the gang that can't sling jawbones straight:

I’ve lived in Houston & Austin.
Austin traffic is laughable in comparison
Not on a per-mile traveled basis.
I remember driving 45 minutes in Houston. That got me 15 miles from where I started.
In Austin, that sometimes gets you 5-7 miles from where you started.
I want Amazon to STAY THE FUCK AWAY. We don't have the infrastructure for the people and growth rate that we have. Some estimates have the total population impact of Amazon HQ2, counting the 50k employees, their family members, and other businesses and people who end up here to serve that growth, as around 200k.
This town has already split its pants without upsizing them. We take that on, and our pants will explode into a puff of fabric, leaving our junk dangling in the wind. We can't handle that amount of growth.

It don’t make a shit.

Wait....the people...you know, the actual folks who make up "we the people"....are "the swamp."
But the businesses....those are....NOT the swamp? So, are THEY "we the people?"
Wait...so....what is time again?
