    Actually, it's hardcore MAGA country.  May have more MAGA voters there than most any other state.  Sure, they're slightly outnumbered by non pieces of shit (well, at least they're not pieces of shit for THAT reason....I mean, some of 'em are fucking Dodgers fans, so definitely pieces of shit), but there are still many millions of them.

    CA is the most populous state so yes but you don't see a whole lot of them in Bakersfield, Stockton, or Escondido. You see them in MAGA hotbeds such as Santa Monica, Cupertino, and Santa Barbara. 

    Now why is that? Either these customers have admittedly bought into EVs are going to save the world and can't see the graft of the movement or deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, they support the man himself.

    Can you expand on this? What is the integrity issue with the salt domes? Over geologic time, sure, but are you talking about something on human time scales?

    Well it was filled with a lot of heavy sour that a lot of the GC refineries are designed to run on. We aren't replacing it with that. 

     

    Salt dissolves. When you move that much fluid, the salt structure changes. I'm guessing this is what a lot of the maintenance is.

    Phlegm, RD, Derka-they made this joint hop back in the dark 6-7 years.  I always appreciated their efforts. Phlegm was an unapologetic hater of all things aggy, RD remains a fierce revealer of bullshit and apocrypha, and few if any of us burn with the passion for UT sports that Derka has.  IPhlegm's profile indicates that he went dark in September of 2022.   I prefer to think he's still out there, cutting and pasting and hating on aggy.

    Just for clarification,  which 6-7 years were those?

    so i've been meaning to make a post about this.

    i've likened it the great chiseling. i think that's where we are.

    i feel like everything described in this thread is very true and depressing but i think it has something more to do with wealth coalescing at the top, and i think covid accelerated it.

    where is all the money going? it's all being funneled out of the working class. as a result, the chiseling. everything has to cost just $5 more for this or $3 for that, here's a microtransaction; fees for concert tickets are like 50% of the total cost now, which should be illegal. is that money going to the artist? very rarely. 

    i have a feeling that we are in an artificially good economy. it's all a fucking sham. it's simple math.

    low unemployment? we have a border crisis! these are both artificial problems. everyone has a side hustle. everyone working two jobs. everyone complains about the tip screen tablet being flipped over, but that's just corporate costs being passed onto the customer. all the money is funneling to the top, as ever, but we've reached a tipping point where the dollars are fewer because wealth is accumulated and just sitting there, doing nothing except act as a societal anchor. 

    so they (everyone selling something) are chiseling. 

    pay your workers less, or only just enough, and try to cut every corner in the name of the next quarter's earnings in a similar manner to how mankind has treated the environment. 

    but i thik it all boils down to the greed and competition of wealth accumulation. who are the shareholders? you? me? our 401ks that we can't access and therefore serve as a bullwark in boosting stock prices? lol. no. i'm not going all bilderburg or whatever here, but i think the competition for fewer and scarcer resources makes people desperate and makes humanity steep in its worst stink.

    so everyone is hustling to make it, but no one is getting anywhere.

    everyone around me seems to be fixing, and nobody seems to be building. 

    if any of that makes sense.

     

     

    You know what the trouble is HH? We used to make shit in this country. Build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guys pocket.

    It's because they are pathetic fucking losers, with no worth or value of their own.  SO, they've tied their identity and worth to Elon.  They snivel "yes, my lord," and think they have value as his simps.  The really pathetic thing is that they don't even have THAT value.  But in any case, when you've tied your entire sense of self-worth to someone else, you will go to your grave defending that person, no matter how awful they are.

    How do you reconcile this with the contingent that actually buys his shitty cars?

    I was pissed off for a lot of the game, not because Texas was losing, but because Texas was getting abused by their passing game and was playing way worse than they should have played.

    Then when the miracle opportunity presented itself at the end of the game, it was a gut punch because it would have been an absolutely legendary comeback and it didn’t materialize.

    After the game, it was easier to handle because I realized Washington played great, and their QB and receivers were fantastic. The Curry fumbled punt and Colt injury stung more. I’d put this loss similar to the Gideon interception drop in terms of how I feel.  

     

    It is similar to the tech game in the fact that we beat ourselves. All the poor play and we still had a chance to win and then we have extremely poor play calling. Tech should have never gotten the ball back and we shouldn't have either last night. Finally another team was handing the game to us and we still didn't capitalize. These opportunities for a NC don't come that often. We needed to take advantage.

    I am extremely grateful for where we are vs the last 15 years wandering the fucking desert like Clark looking for a tow truck but got damn it would have been nice if our wrs or dbs knew where the ball was half the game. How do we jump offsides so much? Butt fumble? So frustrating. 

    The landscape has changed and we are in pole position to take advantage. Hope this is just the beginning. Hook em.

    This program is headed in the right direction outside of 1 area. The secondary. 

    Need to add more talent but probably also need a shakeup on the staff in the secondary. New corner or safety coach. 

    Ironic considering it's been one of our stronger positions in our tone wandering the desert. Good news is we should be able to fix it quickly.
