  1. What's super-cool is that now you have plenty of shit to fear from "both sides." While MAGA cultivates this image of being "against anti-semitism," many of the key voices in the MAGA movement are anti-semitic as shit, blaming (((you people))) for all manner of ills in society. And of course, the radical pro-Palestinian fringe (on the left....or at least opposite of MAGA types) is also a rising threat. It fucking sucks. We're in a dark place, and it's only getting darker.
  2. That's like asking "so, any of you fellas ever thought of dumping Rosie O'Donnell to get with Mama June?" Humid, MAGA, full of meth-addled shitheels, hurricanes all the fucking time, uninsurable properties galore.....how on earth is that an upgrade in any way? I mean, I guess the beaches in the panhandle are nicer than ours. There, I've covered the sole advantage I can think of.
  3. Got those, but honestly, with the freezer kinda full, it kept things frozen/cold for 2+ days (better than the yeti would do -- I have a couple of good coolers, we did use them in the snowpocalypse -- didn't even need refrigeration or ice, just filled them, topped them off with snow, and left them outside - saved the more expensive fridge and freezer items that way). It just seems that storms and major power loss are becoming a way of life around here. Lived in Austin nearly 40 years, and the three worst weather events for us have been in the last 5 years.
  4. Got a generator for our casa a few years back (used it in the ice storm). Figured all that was going wrong at my old man's house was losing some food left in the freezer, which all things considered, was just a coupla hundred bucks worth. Didn't think we should bug the neighbors with our (louder than the one you posted) generator just for that.
  5. "Cornyn is woke. He marched with George Floyd to burn down your neighborhood! John Cornyn taught his kids how to have gay DEI marxist CRT sex, and wants to require your kids to learn it too! John Cornyn wants trans people to touch your daughters' hoo-ha in the bathroom!" Paxton wins by 10.
  6. No one will suspect.....Volga boatmen....
  7. Yep. Bottom line, one of our two family homes, a mile apart from each other, has been among the last 1% (or even fewer) to get power back in 1) the big freeze, 2) the ice storm (our home was without power 4-5 days in each one of those), and now 3) the mini-hurricane at my old man's house. Before these, the longest we'd ever been out of power was in Houston during Alicia in 1983, and my folks after Ike in 2008 -- in both cases, well into day 3, then the power came back on. Never for 4-5 days. Now? We've been without power for 4-5 days three times in five years.
  8. Man, I've told at least a dozen people that the Senate primary won't even be close, Paxton will blow him outta the water, and they're shocked to hear it. Fucking duh. Seriously, the vast majority of people are paying ZERO attention.
  9. Suspect they're re-frozen. I'm sure the coupla days at room temp didn't hurt em at all. You're welcome to come by and take whatever you want.
  10. We’re old school. Buried those in a shallow grave. Power came on last night, about 30 mins shy of being out for a full 100 hours.
  11. Just 272 households still without power. Old man's casa is one of them. Fucking hell, his freezers are gonna STINK. We're going to let the stuff re-freeze, toss it all on trash day, then give them a good cleaning. At least everything is packaged up pretty good, shouldn't have any significant leaks of crap.
  12. They aren't supposed to be. She was quite unimpressed by them. Gets better pie and mash a block from her flat, at a nondescript place.
  13. That was similar to my go-to burger I'd make at Fuddruckers. Top it with spicy mustard, that jalapeno cheese sauce, and lots of pico. Man, I dug me some Fudd's back in the day. Was such a good and easy place to go with the kids when they were young. And I actually got a decent burger outta the deal.
  14. Also Magats, when they show up in the family truckster to National Park X, only to be turned away, or stuck in an entry line for 8 hours, or seeing no services, overflowing trash, etc....."THANKS, BIDEN!"
  15. 95% of the food I've eaten from McD's in the past 20+ years is breakfast. I'm an egg mcmuffin man, have been for a long time. The egg white mcmuffin was actually reasonably healthy and my regular order, but they took it off the menu. Their coffee is solid. In the summers, they've often run "$1 any size drink." Not uncommon for us to swing through a drive through and grab a coupla giant iced teas for $2. As for non-breakfast...a QP with cheese is often...fine. I had mcnuggets for the first time in eons earlier this year (was waiting on a car repair, walked across the street and got some for lunch). Meh. They seem thinner, and half breading. Fries are good for the first 2 minutes if they're fresh. Filet o fish is a perfectly serviceable fish sandwich. I'll eat a McRib every few years out of nostalgia (my dad and I would grab one on our way home from surf fishing when I was a kid - kinda became a thing, I don't know why, because he was a picky messican and usually disliked such junk). And...that's about it. It sure isn't a destination or choice, and if we're going to grab fast food and there are other options, we'll almost always choose something else over McD's. Except for breakfast. They've kinda mastered the fast food breakfast.

    Austin FC

    This team is….officially very, very bad. They couldn’t score in a Mexican whorehouse with a roll of $100s. Watching them and UT baseball last night was a recipe for depression. No strategic play as a team. Watching SD bring the ball forward with crisp passing and simply designed alternating runs was such a contrast. Sure, there’s some talent issues, but yet again, we’re back to a coaching problem. The Nico hire was not what we needed - definitely not an upgrade.
  17. Methinks such an application would be good to pick up girls in Minsk.
  18. Daughter messaged this morning, said she was going with friends to try a famous shop in London, G Kelly. She said she was going to get pie and mash. I said “and jellied eels.” She said…no. I said she HAS to try them, I’ll buy (I owe her £6). She said fine. She tried them. Said they weren’t terrible. She didn’t LIKE them, but they weren’t too terrible. Not as fishy as she expected. Said the pie was good, the mash was mid. She gets better pie and mash from the corner shop in her hood.
  19. Saw a train on mopac this evening. LONG train, headed up from Mexico, full of car parts/chassis. Figure they let things stack up, then when the tariffs got relaxed, sent em all up.
  20. Old man’s house, near Mesa and spicewood, still without power.
  21. Spoiler: she’ll GAIN votes. Because being stupid and mean and ignorantly religious are the only qualities that matter anymore.
  22. Such brave protectors of the Republic.
  23. THISTHISTHIS. Policies and ideas are for losers who like losing. Talking about appealing to leftists with leftist policies…fuck that. It’s about splash, and image, and noise. Not anything else. The most important demo is stupid people. Advertise more on “OW! MY BALLS!” Don’t focus group on macro-economic theories. They don’t fucking matter - not for elections, at least.
  24. “maleducata” For future reference.
  25. We are led by an autocrat who can only process information if it is presented to him by short video clips and cartoon characters. The sentence I just wrote is 100% true. Jesus Tapdancing Fucking Christ.
