    There was an emergency call with Harris county last night. They are saying Livingston is dumping water at Harvey level flow rates. Did the Trinity get a bunch of rain upstream?

    Rain bomb dumped right on the upper end of the lake - see all the flooding in Huntsville.  That water is all going to go downstream, just like it always did.  The floodgates pass through those floodwaters (at a lower peak rate than they were received, so they take the peak off the flow), but mother nature creates a river flood, you're going to get a river flood downstream, dam or no dam.

    In the series, Slow Horses on Apple, the setting is a shitty set of offices where fuck-ups from MI6 are assigned boring tasks. The head guy, Lamb, is a legendary spook who is hostile, vulgar, and insulting at every turn. It's a great show.

    In an action sequence, one of the fuck-ups, let's call him Agent Boeing, wrestles with and kills an intruder. "I didn't mean to kill him."

    Lamb: "Of course not, it you'd meant to kill him, he'd still be alive."

    Love that show, and it's exhibit 1 million in how fantastic Gary Oldman is in everything he does.

    Now that sounds interesting and entry worthy.  I have never heard of pickled gizzards before. 

    Me either.....but I'm down to try them.

  4. UPDATE!!!   I got an offer.    I'll be working as the retirement plan administrator for a mid-sized employer based here in Houston with employees spread across the country.  It's a nice bump in comp over my prior role.  
    This is not the job I detailed above.  I last talked with them two weeks ago and was told what the hold up is.  I'm 95% sure that their offer is going to come in below this one.   I think my work here is done.  
    Talk about a wave of relief.   Nerves really hit right after the offer call.  Wow, just wow.  
     

    Dude. I’m seriously happy for you.

    I’m gonna send you a toaster.

    But also Nazis

    I mean, that is LITERALLY the attack path that the Putin regime has taken - we must attack Ukraine because they are Nazis, but also, they are namby pamby libtards who allow queerness, so we have to attack them to protect Christendom.

    And because that's Putin's take, that is 100% three-toed Marge's take.

    I'm not talking strictly about incels, sexual activity in general is down with younger generations. I'm relating to generational attitudes about sex. I think it's just not as important to younger people. I understand that the 50yr olds here won't agree. 

    Yeah.  This one certainly doesn't agree.

    I did, too, but at a pretty early stage, I realized that most guys were NOT as libidinous as I was.

    Slowed down a lot with age, to where I'm able to actually think with something other than my dick from time to time.

    This too.  I was probably on the higher end of the sex drive bell curve.  Now that I'm of a certain age, it's probably down to "pretty normal."

    I’m an elder millennial (‘85) and I wanted to get pussy because, well, it’s fucking awesome.

    There was nothing societal about it. My brain was just wired with a high sex drive. It sounds like yours is less so. There’s nothing wrong with that either, so long as you’re comfortable with yourself and others.

    None of this makes you a “man”. But guys who actively despise women because they can’t convince any of them to have consensual sex are definitely not real men.

    And this.  I was chasing girls with all I had from a pretty early age, and I wasn't pressured by anyone, wasn't trying to impress anyone....I was really, really, really into girls, and wanted as much action as I could possibly get. 

    But also, the "guys just don't want sex as much" rings bullshitty to me, kind of a "those grapes are sour anyway" shit.  Why do I say that?  Because "incels" aren't just sitting at home, happy to be playing video games and eating Cheetos.  No...a shitload of them are angry, bitter, and resentful of "Chads" getting all the "Stacies."  If we were just dealing with a lower sex drive, they wouldn't care.  But they care.  Deeply.  They are angry - the the point of becoming violent.

    Since the beginning of time, men have chased sex.  Because they want it.  Today is no different.  If young men are dealing with 1) social impetus to just not be that into sex, but underneath, 2) they still have the same biology we all had, and have had for millenia....yeah, I can see why we're dealing with some messed up dudes.

    Look at the units in the first tweet.  It's that number x 1000, or at least that's how I read it.

    That's what it says.  But comparing it to data for other years, it's wrong.  Samsung historically uses around 7 THOUSAND acre feet per year, not 7 million.  So, the numbers given are the actual numbers (don't multiply by 1000).

    This is fucking hilarious.  Wow.   The views of a known disinformation artist are ok as long as I agree with his politics.  All without any of the self reflection that you might possibly agree with some of his views because he's a fucking known disinformation artist.

    I mean, I bet he likes curvy brunettes, too.  This Blumenthal guy and I should TOTALLY hang out, he's credible!

  9. Has anybody found a good tortilla press for flour? I’ve seen the one Masienda offers for $100 or so but I read a comment or two that make it seem like it doesn’t work as well on flour as corn and everything on that site is geared toward corn.

    I’m looking for something to help make more uniform shape/size flour tortillas quicker than rolling them out, which is a time suck.

    Yeah…all home tortilla presses are geared towards corn. The only good flour tortilla press I ever seen is a big heavy commercial one, like you see at Cabo Bob’s.

    What a shock, it's made by Boeing.

    Huh.  You'd think their products would be very, very good at killing people.

    And for that matter, who cares if they were carrying a gun? I thought everyone packing heat was the utopian dream here in texas. Thats what patriotric americans do. Or so ive been led to believe by any number of congress men and women. Its possible that a school shooting could take place, and we sure as fuck know we cant count on those fucking pussies in the DPS to take action. 

    No, see, when right wingers/white people carry a gun, that's PATRIOT FREEDOM SECOND AMENDMENT AMERICA!  When left wingers/non-whites carry a gun, that's THUG TERRORIST TROUBLEMAKERS!  Did you not get that memo?  Coulda sworn you were on the routing slip.

    these drones are carrying claymores or some variation of a 60-81mm morter shell.   

    Both of which have a 10% or higher kill range of between 35-50m  (38-55 yards), and that number goes up the closer it gets.

    40-50 yards is the farthest "normal" range for a 12 guage. 

    I mean I guess blasting it out of the sky at 20 yards giving you a 35% change of dying is better than the 95% chance if the fucker detonates on you.. but yeesh. that math sucks either way.

    But....and follow me here....what if I'm using Russian infantry armor/shielding?

    Respek to that dude for at least thinking like ole Brisket here.  While they aren't perfect, a good full choked 870 throwing 4 to 6 shot will get the job done.  Those small drones are getting close, as in "in range."  They are relatively fragile, a pellet or two will disable them.  I'm curious if the shotgun defense approach has been used already, and what its success/failure rate looks like.

  14. Lol, man your history knowledge sucks. For the record the Red Scare led to a lot of fascism and interment of US Citizens with family ties to Japan during the 40s wasn't the finest hour of US history.

    Hell, I’m glad to have Hotsauce around. Because 1) the things you think he might be appalled by (eg, Japanese internment), HE LIKES. And 2) he has no filter, so he says the things that modern American conservatives actually think. Murder of political opponents, arrest, punishment, and worse for anyone left of Mussolini? THAT’S WHAT THEY ALL WANT. The American right today thinks McCarthy was a pussy, because he didn’t actually kill everyone he accused. They think that the right to vote is a mistake. They want a fascist authoritarian state. It makes them rock hard.
    Good for hot sauce for speaking their truth. Don’t look away from it. Realize that his ugliness is the cold hard truth of American “conservatives.”
    Then act accordingly.
