  1. Voted in collin county around 3:30. Frankford and Preston - Renner library. No one was in line. There were probably three people inside voting. One person was standing outside for Jamee Jolly (R) under a tent. No other candidates had anyone there. I had a brief and pleasant conversation with the Jolly volunteer. I expressed my concern about the price of insulin and the lack of progress on HR 2181. I let them know what CO and CA are doing, and suggested that TX do the same. I’m sure it won’t make any difference but I felt it necessary to express myself. And, they looked kinda bored standing alone in the rain.
  2. For you guys talking about the Toadies, I saw them in Aug in Frisco, and they were great.
  3. When there’s a will, there’s a way.
  4. Why is this guy mounting his sex toy on his truck?
  5. Why? I thought drinking bleach was Dotard’s recommendation for fighting covid. Sounds like you were just passing along sound medical advice. I too have gotten a twitter timeout for my suggestions to right wingers.
  6. World Trade Center. The poor people that got trapped by fire above the impact. Your only choices are burn to death / smoke inhalation or jump. A few years ago, I stood at the base of One World Trade Center and got dizzy just looking up. I had just been through the memorial and saw the pictures of people jumping. Made my blood boil. Then looking up from the base of One World Trade Center. I just can’t imagine the horror.
  7. That’s the same thing I tell ‘em too
  8. As a prospect, you gotta make sure that’s in the conference room pilot script. Enterprise software vendors can’t build anything in 6 months. With any reasonably complex solution, it takes months to do functional design, development, unit testing, system testing, integration testing, regression testing, configuration and implementation. A good question to ask the prospective vendor is “lemme see your functional design specs and project plan”. If they can’t produce these, they’ll likely say “Oh. We’re agile. So, we don’t do that stuff.” That’s likely just a cover. The follow-up question is “ok. Cool. Lemme see you stories, product backlog, and sprint backlog.” If they can’t produce them, they can’t deliver. This comes from 30 years experience on the vendor (product development and services) and customer side.
  9. That still leaves 10% open to a non- healthcare vote.
  10. You likely don’t have any chronic health conditions that republicans actively work against preventing health insurance coverage or affordable prescriptions. Congratulations for being born in the deep end of the gene pool. Others aren’t so fortunate. Please consider this when you vote. https://news.yale.edu/2022/07/05/insulin-extreme-financial-burden-over-14-americans-who-use-it
  11. This is interesting and makes sense. I grew up republican in Oklahoma (go figure). I shifted hard left when I saw Hillary make the first push in the 90’s to make healthcare affordable and saw the opposite from the republicans. That has driven my voting over the past 25 years.
  12. What’d I ever do to you? Lumping everyone from 45-65 together is too broad. GenX is 42-57 years old now. I like to think the nihilistic philosophy of the early 90’s Gen X hasn’t bought into republican bullshit over the years, but I suspect there’s a lot that are into the conspiracy theory idiocy.
  13. This is true. This is my hood. There’s a big jewish school at hillcrest and frankford. Another school between preston and hillcrest on frankford where jewish kids are playing hoops after school every day. There’s a temple at hillcrest and mccallum. Plenty of bagel shops. There’s a badass jewish deli on preston and campbell. My hood leans heavy dem. Lots of Beto and Mihaela Plesa signs in yards.
  14. My sister, Kristi, committed suicide by taking a pharmacy’s worth of a drug cocktail. I came in from out of state because her husband (my BIL) had committed suicide with a handgun the night before. She had been sleeping in the family room near me for several hours and woke up around 3 AM. I was sleeping on the sofa and woke up when she woke up. I gave her a glass of water. She took a drink and died in front of me. I called 911 and gave her CPR until the ambulance arrived. They revived her, and we went to the hospital. A few hours later her brain began to swell and she was pronounced dead. This song triggers that memory.
  15. As a type 1 diabetic, Herschel can adapt his diet to eating shit. Fuck you, Herschel and fuck all republican politicians. And fuck anyone who votes for any republican.
  16. That’s crazy, man. Here’s a close-up of the artists name. I got the painting in 2012. I think it was at Galeria Beaskoa. Based on its proximity to the Picasso museum. Here’s their IG if you’re curious. https://instagram.com/galeriabeaskoa?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= On second thought, I think I got it at Galería Montcada. Just a store or two past the first gallery I mentioned. Their IG https://instagram.com/galeriamontcada_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  17. I think what Herschel is trying to say is to vote for the incumbent. I don’t believe Herschel is aware that he’s not the incumbent. He’s busy running hospitals and stuff. Now stay with me here… Herschel might just not know what he’s talking about.
  18. @RDCanecutter congrats! That’s awesome!
  19. Your FIL wants to live in an echo chamber. He must be stupid, lazy or old. Or all three.
  20. My neighborhood on the south side of collin county (but still Dallas - 214 holla) is heavy Dem. Lots of Beto signs; lots of Mihaela Plesa signs - she lives a few blocks away). Door to door canvassing is always Dem. Beto guy stopped by yesterday. Only three Trump houses in the hood that advertise their allegiance. It’s at least a 10 to 1 Dem to Rep ratio.
  21. Looks like he’s pillow fighting zombies. God works in mysterious, ridiculous and satirical ways I guess.
  22. Yup. Got my tickets for Jesus and Mary Chain at Granada.
