  1. I ordered a $30 HD antenna from amazon and set it up on my samsung. Getting the tv to scan and find the channels took a bit of trial and error but I’m pretty sure I got ‘em. Channel 29-1 KFAA is coming through. Production test is tomorrow night mavs vs jazz. I added the mavs schedule to my iCal from this link. https://www.mavs.com/schedule/full-schedule/ I’m liking the new management group.
  2. Wife just voted. She confirmed she went for the D.
  3. Didn’t even spring for a 2024 sign?
  4. Local (collin county) I served on a jury 25 years ago. It was a three day trial. Interesting experience.
  5. I have a jury summons in two weeks so this hits close to home.
  6. I had the same training and used my laptop as well. It auto dialed for me as well. The lists were likely different. I was told the strategy was to get everyone that voted for hillary in 2016 to vote in 2018. It was a “get off your ass and vote in the midterm, dumbass” strategy. The list was only hillary voters until early Oct. After that, the list was anyone, everyone. I had plenty of hangups too. I just shrugged ‘em off. Anyway, I appreciate the effort you put forth to try to rid us of cruz.
  7. I had a good experience doing this. The instructions I was given was to tell my personal story for why I was voting for beto. My story is healthcare, diabetes, ACA, yada yada yada. Everyone could empathize with my story except one guy. I worked one phone bank at someone’s house, 4 phone banks at a weekly location, and hosted one in my house where I had recruited people to come. I’m sure I changed no one’s vote with my calls. Interestingly enough, Cruz changed his messaging on ACA two weeks Before the election where he said he would protect healthcare and people with pre-existing conditions. I’m sure it was all due to my diligent efforts to raise awareness. The story you tell is important. I have a couple of neighbors that are gay that came to the phone bank I hosted. They left feeling dismayed. I can only imagine the reaction they got when telling their story to texans.
  8. Hey jerrah, this is how you get better in the offseason
  9. Also, republicans are irredeemable pieces of shit yesterday, today and forever
  10. The song they performed together hasn’t been released. They said it was the first time they’ve performed it. GAI wrapped up their set with an acoustic version of the stable song. My Movie 24.mov
  11. Damn. Matthew Sweet suffers stroke From the link "Last week, Matthew Sweet was forced to cancel an extensive cross-country tour of both headline dates and opening slots for longtime friends, Hanson after suffering a debilitating stroke in Toronto late Saturday evening (October 12)," Russell Carter says in a statement. "Matthew was quickly admitted to Toronto Western Hospital where he was put into excellent care and taken out of immediate danger. Matthew was transferred to a rehabilitation center back home in Omaha today where he will undergo extensive therapy. He is now on a long, difficult road to recovery."
  12. I’m down front in the pit
  13. I won’t call you a dumbass but I liken it to a salmon swimming upstream with bears trying to snatch you along the way. You can make it but the journey ain’t easy. I started a thread named Insulin in Aug 22. I was pissed about the newly passed Biden insulin cap that was only for the olds because only the olds got it. As a type 1 diabetic since 1987, I have watched the republicans fight hard against any improvement in medical cost or care for my entire voting life. The surly liberal cabal (of which I consider myself a member) came at me hard with a few negs thrown in. As I explained my position, personal story, and the rationale for my critique of biden’s bill, the cabal cooled, and I learned about a bill at the federal level (no movement) and a bill in colorado that are doing creative solutions. I text occasionally with my state rep about the colorado bill to see if she can do something like it in texas. Long story short: make your point with verifiable facts or a genuine story that explains your position, and the cabal may not eat you alive. Oh and…
  14. Voted yesterday at Renner Frankford library in Dallas in collin county. Line was approximately 100 people long and took 30 minutes to get through. Fuck the christofascists.
  15. Nathaniel Rateliff tomorrow night in Irving
  16. The Lock her up crowd is projecting. Again.
  17. Same for me in collin county’s corner in Dallas. 100 people in front of me.
  18. Went to the library today to vote in collin county, and the line was about 100 people long. Pass. I’ll give it a couple of days to try again.
  19. There’s an old saying in the five boroughs. Sabotage me once, shame on… shame on you. Sabotage… Can’t be sabotaged again.
  20. It’s a goddamn cult. Dotard will twix/troof something like “the woke deep state bus company is fake news. DEMOCRAT-owned bus company left you stranded!” And the red-hat room-temperature IQ rubes will collectively go “yep”.
  21. I normally enjoy speaking with the politicians at the polls. For whatever reason, they often choose my local library to stand around for canvassing. I spoke with a republican running in the Feb primary for at least an hour. I normally wear my cowboys hat when I go vote. I peel off the old sticker before going in and apply a new sticker after voting. The double entandre isn’t subtle.
  22. Too much time on reddit apparently causes brain rot.
