  1. People who conflate Boomers with Gen Xers... Sure we get fucked over by the boomers and the echo boomers, but we're doing with more style and grace than either of them.
  2. I can smell that guitar A friend who is a guitar nerd is traveling and sent me this... I have no response
  3. Going by the video posted above he doesn't know what's happening in the actual state/country he lives in, forgive me if I doubt his ability to project real valuable insight across the globe. All I get from this guy are con man vibes. He's monetizing talking. So he has interesting things to say whether those things are true or not. Like the TB claim in the video posted above. "Most (Russian) teenagers have TB" Here's what the NIH says about TB in Russia "In Russia and the former Soviet Union, TB has been an acute problem. Today, the official estimate of the incidence of TB is about 82 to 83 per 100,000 population." He is an entertainer.
  4. Ho lee shit, did you even watch the video you posted? Laughably bad. I was pleased to learn that the US is the ONLY country that will meet it's Kyoto protocols obligations. Dude's big talent is looking at a map and talking about it in a pedantic way. These are mountains, you can't move an army easily over mountains, deserts don't support big populations, this is a choo choo track goods move efficiently here... oh shit this guy has it all figured out! oh here's a blurb from his wiki page... Yup you guessed it, he wrote a book about maps and terrain features. If you want a good book about the real world effects of geography (and actual analysis) I recommend Guns, Germs, and Steel.
  5. The part were Zeihan's videos are worthless.
  6. Sagan said it best "Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder...."
  7. The thing I'm enjoying most is that I think he is starting to understand he's in real jeopardy. The increasingly frantic and impotent screeching to his base is just a bonus. During the Obama years I always wondered how much more money the Rednecks had to keep buying ammo, That donor base of his has to tap out soon right?
  8. Not gonna lie, the martyring part sounds pretty good. If he wants to die to be the patron saint of Walmart brand tactical products, I'm fine with it.
  9. It's hard to tell the story of an asshole that you just happened to bump into all the time. Also in S. Florida Supercars and Eastern european hookers aren't exactly rare.
  10. No idea who that is... I live in South Florida so we have a wide variety of self important assholes from all around the whole country and indeed the world!
  11. Yeah, yeah, Dude looks like a....
  12. I wasn't implying he was smart. What I was trying to get across is that sheer pugnacious assholery is more likely to explain his position in American history than his intellect or lack thereof. You can't just dismiss that he sat in the oval office for 4 years. I hate that bastard, but he has accomplishments. Hopefully first imprisoned former US president will be among them.
  13. I don't think the guy is an idiot, I think that he's so toxic that people will literally give ground to get away from interacting with him. Except those broken people who equate that with power. They see him being awful to the people they dislike while he says wonderful things about them. (until he no longer needs them) And they think proximity to this guy will personally enrich them. I had a neighbor like this... really successful business guy, but just an insufferable prick who would make unreasonable demands that people would capitulate to to avoid having to deal with him. He would brag about it. "If they don't give me what I want I'll bury them in litigation. They don't know who they are fucking with!" There were a few neighbors who hung around him for a while because he had the latest super/hypercars and had an entourage of east european hookers. In the end ever person in his life was only there on a transactional basis. /csb tl/dr Not stupid just toxic and broken
  14. But at least it's a dry heat!
  15. I'm not sure what category I would put Wout in, but I guess sprinter is as good as any. I think Wout could be a GC guy if he had team support. My totally casual and uninformed opinion is that he wins the Sprints/Green Jersey on stages that the true Sprinters suffer on. He's the best sprinter out of the guys that can actually go up hill without imploding. Want to see what Kuss can do this year. Dude has a motor and now he's more experienced. Don't really care about Vingegaard, he's up there in the most punchable face category.
  16. Well, I for one welcome our new corndog overlords!
  17. Didn't Crews (sp?) just win that award? And he's definitely playing, right? But fuck that guy, talk about a player that might play a third of the game, heck he might start, do you think he should start?
  18. I don't know about you guys, but I think the important thing here is that we constantly talk about Skenes
  19. Just saw a video of a cat eating a Russian's face... I think that's my Combat Footage Rubicon.
  20. Paint it, fix it, or smash it?
  21. Debated whether or not to share this, but here goes. I live in a nicer area and on bulk trash days we are swarmed by recyclers and resellers going up and down the streets hunting for golden trash to scrap or resell. I don't really care for the trucks and trailers but I'm glad they are repurposing stuff that would otherwise end up in the land fill. Well the other day I was driving home with my daughter (who is heading off to college in the fall) and I see an acoustic guitar laid out on top of some trash bags. It looked intact so I stopped and pulled it off the pile. This will become art in one way or another... My plan initially was to have my daughter paint it up and use it as a wall hanger in her dorm... Gotta fill those big white walls somehow. However my first impression is that it actually sounds pretty good, but make no mistake it's literally a piece of junk. I haven't even checked to see if I can get it in tune, some of the tuning pegs feel frozen and if it's just going to hang on the wall then it's not worth the bother. But now I'm trying to get her to make it a performance art piece. If we can tune it up/ unstick the tuners have her take it on campus and learn a soulful tune. Then take it out to the quad/union and perform her little campfire song and then WHO smash the fuck out of it in front of a crowd then walk off. (she is shy, but might do this for the lulz) So either way, it should be a worthy project. This is it after a quick wipe down, and yes those are cracks running down the body. It's a Vespero made in brazil and has a serial number 1207... Feels very light, resonant and loud. ' What's the verdict?
