  1. The good thing about these elections is they force you to put some degree of thought into them. Pre-2016, I always at least made sure there weren't any glaring red flags to the D candidates, or some exceptional R. For candidates nowadays, all I have to do is see who Abbott and Co. are endorsing for "non-partisan" positions, pick anyone else, and my research is done.
  2. I used to love going to the grocery store. Now, with the combination of prices, especially for a cheapass like me, and dragging a 3 and 1 year-old through HEB, I'm just fighting for my life every goddamn trip.
  3. True, but they also didn't wake up and become that way in 2016. I honestly have a very grim outlook on the future, but I am curious what a post-Trump America looks like.
  4. I don't know either, but I'm ready to find out and see if this nation can be salvaged in any way.
  5. I said this exact thing when the play happened. Way too late. But I'll take Manning's performance tonight. I thought this game was over at least 3 different times. I don't have high hopes for the season but this was an enjoyable comeback.
  6. Immamac obviously leaked the story to inject life into the football board.
  7. I'm guessing we get a special thread. But you're right, I need to stock up. I also intend to call my Trumpy parents for babysitting duty when that glorious day arrives so I can get absolutely blitzed.
  8. My 3 year-old wants, or thinks he wants a fish tank. I had one off and on from 2-30, so of course I'm in. My wife wants to just get a beta tank, but fuck that. My plan is to get him a 10 gallon. Thoughts/recs on getting it set up and what to put in it?
  9. Opening ANWR to drilling/mining. Let's see how hot we can get this bitch in our lifetimes!
  10. I'm hoping our #2's 2nd year of life isn't as difficult as his brother's was. 2 and 3 year-old's obviously have their issues, but 12-24 months with the first was a beating. Constantly sick, could barely go to restaurants or much of anything that required interacting with strangers most of the year, so many fits, would send himself into puking rages, especially when we would put him down at night. The young one seems to have a more even temperament, but he just turned one, which is precisely when #1 became much more difficult.
  11. We had the worst post-game win expectancy of any winning team this week at 16.1%.
  12. Kentucky making you think of XL qbs?
  13. Texas vs Arkansas State in '07 wasn't very fun. This is up there for sure.
  14. As fun as it is to watch Arky make aggy sweat, I'd like to watch our game.
  15. I posted this and looked down...
  16. Aren't there about 50 billion feral chickens in Hawaii? Forage for some real free-range chicken eggs.
  17. Appreciate all the comments. It's all dried out. No staining thus far.
  18. Texas is 6-3 against Oklahoma when I live in central TX (06-09, 21-present).
  19. They're around Houston for sure, although I typically saw them more out in the Katy Prairie area. I remember being very surprised when I first saw one flying over 1960.
  20. I was going to say he reminds me of a slightly better Chris Ogbannaya. Not flashy, but he will surprise you and very rarely disappoint.
  21. He called a wide open TD to Arch's favorite target, and he chose not to pull the trigger.
  22. It leaked through this seam. I've got ceiling fans going, the AC running and a fan aimed up at the open smoke detector.
  23. I was replacing the fill valve in our master bathroom upstairs. Things were going fine and I was making some adjustments to get the height right when the shut off valve to that toilet failed. By the time I got down to shut off the water entirely, some water had dripped through a seam in the ceiling and the smoke detector attached beneath the toilet. I've had the valve replaced, so the plumbing situation is resolved. My question is do I need to have that drywall torn out to prevent mold, or I can I watch it to see if there are any obvious issues?
  24. One of these things is not like the others, at least in terms of political persuasion.
  25. I had no idea barred owls were a thing until I saw my first one several months after I started birding.
