  1. That one too.  But the train sex scene in Risky Business brings back a great memory of a very late night with my college girl friend after we watched that movie.

     

    Sorry bud that wasn’t In The Air Tonight. It was Tangerine Dream.

     

     

    ITAT will always be rightfully associated with Miami Vice.

     

    Edit: on second look it was both. But all the good stuff happens when the TD song starts.

     

    I still say it’s more closely tied to Miami Vice.

  2. Damn that sucks! I was never a comic nerd but I love Lee’s contributions to pop media and culture. I always thought it was cool that he did the cameos and appeared in Kevin Smith movies.

  3. Interesting topic on the Freekanomics radio hour today addressing, among other things, the duopoly of the US political system.
    In addition to getting rid of party-specific primaries (moving to a single-ballot and non-partisan primary system), I thought the Ranked Choice ballot/counting method was interesting.  Out of the top 4 candidates that move out of the primary, in the general voters rank each in order of preference.  If nobody receives at least 50%, then the last-place candidate is dropped and the voters that has selected that loser ( [emoji846] ) has their votes moved to their second choice.  Repeat until someone gets to 50%.
    May be too complicated for Broward County.

    This is my number one because it seems so doable and has been done in some places at the state level.

    I’m open to the electoral college conversation, but I’d want more power transferred back to the states first.

    I’d also like to see a single 6-year presidential term. No re-election.

  4. It’s more like the old ish... very solid bottle IMO. Would have gone back to buy more last night but this was their last in the store.


    Since the pic didn’t load, what is it?
  5. Another day, another bottle...

    Hoping this gets me through the Tech game.

    Also got to try this yesterday for the first time. Apparently it’s Black Maple Hill in a different bottle and, at $27, you absolutely cannot complain.

    Pic didn’t come thru for me but if it’s the same as the new purple label BMH then $27 is too much.
  6. Blanton's Gold is my BTAC/Pappy safety plan. Well done. 


    It’s quite excellent. The Savannah 88 is not good.

    My buddy up thread who owns the whiskey bar with 1,000 bottles says Blanton’s Gold is in his top three.
  7. So the judge stated that it was Kemp's office who needed to decide how many of those machines that were idle should have been deployed when looking at the demand (aka how many voters) of the election.  
     
    So no, I'm not undermining my argument at all.  I'm not even sure where you're getting that idea. 
    You are the one trying to argue that Kemp's office is in the right.  They knew what they were doing. The machines were set aside because of the 2016 election, and then all of a sudden before midterms, this lawsuit hasn't been settled so voters have access?  Especially in mostly the Democratic areas of GA?
    Fuck outta here with that. 
    Now they are trying to place blame on the county offices themselves. 
     
     


    “Kemp suppressed the minority vote!”

    “So many minorities voted that there should have been more voting machines!”

    That was a joke btw. Don’t blow a gasket.

    I will keep watching and I will be interested in the results of any lawsuits. I’m primarily concerned with the facts. It may surprise you to learn that I did not vote for Kemp.

    I also don’t believe you have to hate the person you’re voting against.

    So far what I have seen is notions of voter suppression pushed by anti-Kemp and anti-GOP outlets, coupled with a handful of anecdotes. Most of them are just referring to the same handful of articles in somewhat circular fashion.

    I think Abrams ran a helluva campaign and got out the vote in spectacular fashion, but lost. Someone had to lose. I think that what she’s doing now is just perpetuating the outrage machine. From what I’ve read there are not enough votes left to count to create a runoff.

  8. That's not true.  The court required that a sufficient number of machines be sequestered to provide a representative sample.  The court did not set forth a number, and the hundreds of machines sequestered seems to be a bit of an overkill.
    I would like to hear from a statistics expert to know how many machines would provide a representative sample.  I suspect it's 100-200.


    I would like to hear from that expert too. Let me know what you find.

    I didn’t see any details on it, but one report I read seemed to indicate that all machines of a certain flavor (maybe make, model, age) were sequestered due to their potential risk. However that was an assumption by me and could be incorrect.
