    /csb This reminds me when I was 18 or 19. I was home from school for the weekend. My dad had this horrible new wife. She was a fucking disaster and I felt bad for my younger brother having to live with this crazy person. Well, that night when I got home this lady went off on me for who knows what. I tell her dont talk to me and I wont talk to you and Ill be gone Sunday. Later that night I hear her yelling at my dad its your kids or me! My dad goes this is easy. Get the fuck out. Never saw her again. Maybe the proudest I've ever been of my dad.

    And that woman’s name? You guessed it, Frank Stallone!

    Plate of salmonella coming right up.

     

    What are the things on the right side of the onion ring?  Is that even an onion ring?

    Maybe this is why she’s going after big grocery.

     

    I worked at Albertsons, Randall’s (flagship), and H‑E‑B in the mid to late 90s in high school in Austin and they all had their ups and downs.  Store managers and customers had more to do with it than corporate policies.

     

    Hy-Vee wanting to expand and acknowledging avoiding TEXAS is interesting. They were the lower value/cost grocery for a number of years in Des Moines,IA to Dahls before they eventually outlasted them.  I hear stories in my current business about how H‑E‑B and Publix tend to know each others business more than you’d expect and thought is they may share info from time to time more as equals pushing back against Walmart than anything, but also that they don’t plan to encroach on each other’s territory.

    God, I feel sorry for people that have no other option but Kroger or Wal-Mart. 

    Kroger isn’t great but it’s still much better than Walmart. It’s slowly going the Walmart route sadly though as they continue to reduce the number of SKUs they carry.

    And India too. I had a similar thought regarding immamac's comment while watching the movie. The Chinese and Russians would have stepped in a lot sooner in this situation.

    I assume the intention was to show that China, Russia and India cannot be relied on to lead the fight against climate change and the Europeans will say things need to be done while sitting on their hands. There was a scene with some European woman saying that the U.N. would do something but we never saw an effort by the Europeans outside of talking about something needing to be done and working through the U.N.

    There was a joint Russia-China attempt. Their rocket blew up at takeoff.

     


     

    I just assumed it was sabotage that caused the rocket to blow up at launch, since Bash derailed the first attempt too to chase the money. Can’t have other nations knock it off course/blow it up when we want to mine it.

    I won't let the family stop in Waco to take a piss when we're driving up to DFW from Austin.  Not worth it.

    If you ever do let them I recommend this Stripes with the Laredo Taco company in it. They also have the best fired burritos this side of allsups. It’s just off I35 and that weird roundabout Waco has for some reason.

    You're a stronger man than I am. 

    I used to think this way in my 20s, now I’m 40 and I’m like toss the SILs steak in the microwave and nuke it till done so the rest of us can eat our steaks on time. You’ll never change those idiots opinions on steak so best to just deal with it and move on. This is actually a life lesson for a lot of things.

    The future of the GOP is as a socially conservative, anti-immigration working class party more in common with Fidesz, Law and Justice and Vox parties in Europe than Canadian or British Tories. I was a Pat Buchanan primary voter and campus campaign volunteer in 1996 and we were considered fringe. Now the party belongs to us and the Bush/Cheney/Neocon/McCain/RINO wing are either dead or nearly extinct. Trump upended the party and toppled the GOP ancien regime. DeSantis/Hawley leading the party with Catholic integralist inspired policy goals. Dollops of Vermeule, Drehrer, Ahmari. Unleash state power for the good of society. An illiberal future.

    “In recent months, Manchin has told several of his fellow Democrats that he thought parents would waste monthly child tax credit payments on drugs instead of providing for their children, according to two sources familiar with the senator’s comments.

    Continuing the child tax credit for another year is a core part of the Build Back Better legislation that Democrats had hoped to pass by the end of the year. The policy has already cut child poverty by nearly 30%. 

    Manchin’s private comments shocked several senators, who saw it as an unfair assault on his own constituents and those struggling to raise children in poverty.

    Manchin has also told colleagues he believes that Americans would fraudulently use the proposed paid sick leave policy, specifically saying people would feign being sick and go on hunting trips, a source familiar with his comments told HuffPost.”

    unless what you want is to face the best competition and get the best coaching.

    Yeah, why would anyone ever go to a a school for more than just the sports opportunity.  The nerve of these kids!

    Your position seems to be you think HBCUs are inferior and shouldn’t get top athletic talent. Travis Hunter disagrees.

    It's OK. Our "hometown" beat writers do it, too. Kirk Bohls doesn't even vote for our players to win the Heisman, not even the greatest CFB player of all time.

    Think this shit would fly in college station? Or even Houston?


    This is still the greatest wtf in the history of heisman voting imo. Bohls saw him play with his own two eyes in person and he still voted for someone who he only saw highlights of on ESPN.
