  1. And English blood sausage. Very traditional UK breakfast item.
  2. Brisketexan

    Austin FC

    Loving these last-second wins. Also..we sat behind Danny’s girlfriend and her mom. Jesus. Girlfriend is an 11, mom is a 9.5.
  3. Depends on where you’re staying. But find any of the following: chippies, kebab shops, Asian noodle joints. There are a million, plenty of meals for £10 or so to be found.
  4. Bingo. Set up an arbitrary expensive gate that you alone control. Provide for an entirely discretionary “exemption” mechanism. Walla, another nice “legal” bribery pipeline. All that Techbro Inc. needs to do is buy some Trumpcoin, or “invest” $100 million in some other Trump venture, and not only are their H1B apps exempted, but their competitors’ are blocked. These plays have all been run before, there’s no secret.
  5. Ok…this is the stuff we should have seen the last two weeks. Yes, it’s weak competition. THAT’S THE POINT. This is what you do. It builds confidence, gets you in the rhythm. I sure hope it sticks, and that whatever was messed up in Arch’s head is getting straightened out.
  6. Wife’s outta town, so I’m cooking stuff she won’t eat. Tonight, sweetbreads (mollejas).
  7. So. We’re moving the ball. Yet I remain unimpressed. I don’t like what this team has already done to my mind this season.
  8. Brisket family story: I was maybe 3, in the back seat with my folks up front. We get to a stop light and pull up next to a convertible with two women up front. Our windows are open. I look over and say out loud “look at those dumb bitches”…because based on what my dad taught me from his statements from the drivers seat, all women on the road were “dumb bitches.” Mom was not amused.
  9. What a shit non-call.
  10. FFS. So much this. We can have fantastic capitalism, that works for most, increases prosperity and makes lives better across the board....or we can have an oligarchical hellscape predicated on the proven lie of "trickle down." We keep choosing the second thing. And that's the hell of it, WE keep choosing it. Sure, the oligarchs control the messaging and thus persuasion, but goddammit. Wake the fuck up.
  11. Wait…it may be the case that an Elon venture is vastly over-promising and under-delivering? I’m utterly shocked.
  12. And, wife’s out of town, so breakfast just for me. Black pudding. And just black pudding. And coffee, of course.
  13. Plus…I hear those places are sex dens. So you’d have that going for you, which is nice.
  14. Today? 50-55, and at least two of them are divorced and in the midst of a sexual re-awakening. So….in.
  15. Wife is outta town for a week. Dinner, night one: Conan’s savage. Add anchovies? Fuck yeah. Add jalapeños? Fuck yeah. Could I get this if I was getting pizza with the wife? Hell no.
  16. But we’ll always get the crop report, right?
  17. Very familiar with her fine work. Spotted her on Poldark years ago.
  18. If you are “burning sensation when you urinate for Jesus,” you may have been molested by your priest.
  19. All? No. I'm sure there are a couple that aren't. The vast majority? Hell yeah.
  20. Then fix the loopholes and deal with the abuse. People abuse food, but we don't fucking ban it. Exhibit infinity of the Trump admin actually spotting a problem....and implementing a breathtakingly stupid and wrong solution. "My house has a spider living in the upstairs bathroom. I think I'll call in a B-52 strike on the whole neighborhood" kinda shit.
  21. 1) Jesus, how utterly fucking stupid. They've spent DECADES telling us "we don't want to let in unskilled foreigners who will be leeches on our system; you should only come here if you're a high-value contributor." Then, in an instant, put the lie to that completely, functionally prohibiting skilled workers from coming here. 2) BUT, don't worry. There will be a "special exemption" provision. You can apply for it, and for "good cause," be exempted. What kind of "good cause" will get you that exemption? Well, a big fat booking of a coupla million bucks of hotel rooms at Mar A Lago will do it. As just a random example. Every barrier and impediment to commerce these guys put up is not a barrier at all. It's just a toll plaza, and the Trump family business collects the tolls.
  22. We'll even fuck that up. Civil Wars aren't an economic boost, they're an economic disaster. So....there's pretty much a 100% (1) that's exactly what we'll do, and (2) the regime will claim that it is bringing about an even goldener economic golden age.
  23. Excellent sentence, and rock-solid truth. It may take a while, and idiots often mistake that for meaning that reality doesn't exist. Nope. The delay just makes the eventual impact that much more brutal. Warning alarms are sounding all over the ship, but they just want to keep pouring coal into the furnace, maintain course, and increase speed. Sigh.
  24. You think the "better" folks are delusional. They are...but FFS, they can't hold a candle to the delusion of the 18% who said "same." What the actual fuck? An economy with massive tariffs, rising unemployment, and re-rising inflation is....the same since January 20th? We don't come back from 48% of our country being too stupid to fucking remember to breathe.
  25. Yeah, dude. Right wing response: "Fuck that faggot foreigner! God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve! And get your foreign ass outta here -- I don't know which mexican country Prussia is, but I know it sucks! AMERICA FUCK YEAH!"
