    Seriously can this group of clowns stay focused for one day? Nobody in MI, WI, or PA gives two shits about Columbus Day. They are worried about things like factory closures and clean drinking water. 

    It was a question asked of her and not some platform piece she is running on. The article's title makes it out to be bigger than the answer she gave.

    I’m sure all the Gary Johnson voters and Republicans here, that admit what an embarrassment to the country and GOP Trump is, will vote to oust Trump in the primaries......

    I'm sure he will be slaughtered in the primary but I appreciate his futile attempt to derail Trump.

    Meh...maybe poke state.  OU is progressive...by that shithole state's standards.  But when it comes to politics Texas shouldn't be too proud either.  Although you guys did elect a tranny...so at least that's progressive.  

    Fair point, most of the Pokes I know are redneck as fuck versus those from OU. The odd thing is the majority of the OU alumni I know are actually from DFW.

    It's pretty funny seeing people like GRhorn taken seriously on the intertubez.  Any of his abortion chatter amongst actual intelligent people...you know in real life, would have him laughed out of the room.  Just something to keep in mind when arguing with him and those like him.  Picture a stereotypical Trumptard in trailer park X...would you engage that dipshit in any honest discussion that didn't involve Nascar, OU, aggy or cheap beer?

    No, his rhetorical skills were amazing.  It’s not just the words but how they’re said.  Reagan had an uncanny ability to convey that he really believed in what he was saying.  

    Trump could read the same speech and the message would get lost on most of the audience because it would come off as forced and artificial.  

    Reagan brought gravitas and authority to his speeches few could match.

    Reagan was a professional actor whereas Trump was a reality tv star.

    I skimmed the thread but having grown up with GSD's I will just say that its a huge time commitment.  They need tons of exercise or they will become destructive AF.   GSD is protective by nature you really don't need to have it "attack" trained IMO but you do need to do serious obedience training.  Read read read about the breed.

    Agree, these are wonderful dogs but should only reside with active families. A brief walk a day will not cut it. Plus they need to be kept busy in between walks. If not, they will tear up anything not made out of steel. When our GS was still a puppy, she chewed a big ass hole in my shed door.

    Its true that they naturally will be protective but they need obedience training and socialization to properly be protective. Otherwise they will end up treating everyone not in the family as hostile invaders. If trained right, they will read situations and react appropriately rather than just go into attack mode. Ours had a strong herding instinct, when we would go out as a family for hikes she was constantly surveying the area and nudging my kids in a specific direction. It was like my kids had their own Secret Service detail.

    She was an amazing dog, its been awhile since she passed away. I want to eventually get another GS but just not ready yet.

    Getting dusty in here, going to stop now.

    We have fiber internet service from our city owned utility company.  1GB for $50/month forever.  Prior to that I was paying $80 to Comcast for 10MB. At work we pay $100/month for 50MB down/10Mb up.  Other cities in Colorado are looking at doing the same.

    A few years ago I consulted for a utility here in Texas that was considering trying this out. They already had fiber laid out all over the city, including rural areas. It wouldn't have been difficult for them to provide internet service from an infrastructure perspective but they never got city approval.

    Yeah, sorry, was trying to figure out if you were talking about the state or a specific city. 

    Regardless, there are plenty of rich white catholic schools in TX.

    Yeah, I was providing a perspective from the brown side of the state.

    It’s a little different in Louisiana I guess.  

    Probably, Catholic schools here tend to be filled with Mexican middle class families. They are fairly inexpensive and provide a good but not great education so they aren't something associated with privilege in this neck of the woods. A lot of these schools were established when segregation was still in place.

    You are doubting how stupid she is? 

    https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/02/14/ocasio-cortez-we-can-invest-that-3-billion-in-our-district.html

    She does think the 3 billion dollars is coming out of something when all it was a 3 Billion tax break on the 27 billion in projected taxes they would pay.  BC economics program is apparently not very strong. 

    She must have got this idea from the same econ book Trump read that says China is being charged with billions of dollars in tariffs that are pouring into U.S. coffers.

    Now let's see if she doubles/triples down on this misunderstanding.

    I was making an unfair broad generalization but we shouldn’t pretend like the all white male rich Catholic high schools don’t have something to do with Trumpism. 

    Sounds weird, we have a ton of Catholic High Schools here but none of them would fit that description. The whites send their kids to Episcopal schools.

    This isn't a big idea. If you are hosting a service or website you're paying the same for the bandwidth no matter who it's going to, or what the content of the data is. TCP is just packets, there's no intrinsic cost to sending one packet over another packet from any one sender to any one receiver.

    The fundamental networking protocol of routing traffic always favors the fastest path, so if some ISP's routing hops are getting slower (and the user isn't using the ISP's dogshit DNS servers), then their requests will start to go through a faster route, if available. It's designed to be as evenly distributed as possible, with absolute generic packet-based communication, so it has very high resiliency. 

    The cost of data (meaning, volume of network traffic) is CHEAP in a datacenter, which has significantly higher SLA's and contractual obligations with regard to performance. There's absolutely zero reason for home internet service to be the dogshit that it is in the US - aside from corporate greed and regulatory capture.

    This was like reading about the peanuts in peanut butter in discussion about strawberry jam versus grape.
