    Amen to that... the number of songbirds we have is cleansing, for sure. 

    I plant a lot of natives and sunflowers. Love working on the back patio in the mornings hearing them. Add to that the butterflies that seems to always be in the yard. I do have a 20  gallon water feature, shaded by potted mandarin trees. I keep that for them to be honest. And when we are dry, they appreciate it. Cannot remember last time I washed my car. Wife washes hers about once a month but she works in marshes and bugs do fuck it up.

    Yep -- Tesla even partnered directly with Del Valle ISD to create a pipeline to decent jobs for kids there.  https://americanconstructors.com/insights/del-valle-isd-tesla-partnership/

    We'll see if that survives.  And we'll see if there are any jobs for those kids to get once they graduate.  That those are questions pisses me off.  We should be excited about a major manufacturer setting up shop here.  Instead, it's a fucking shitshow of a goat rodeo staged inside a dumpster fire.  Fucking Elon is poison.

    Buddy from school is an engineer focused on green energy. Has his Masters from LBJ/ILAS. Smart dude in school. Wife was tired of him traveling, convinced him to go work at the Tesla plant. So he applies, they tell him he is in, he quits. Gets a call saying well we are not sure when you will be onboarding. So he is properly fucked. Sick kid, no insurance, and no income.

    Luckily, HEB won't even be open that day.

    And as for Elon and Tesla, they have reached "full aggy" status to me (and as they say, "never go full aggy").  By "full aggy," I mean that their comical, laughable stupidity....is no longer entirely laughable, because it is negatively impacting my fellow Texans in the real world.  Just like I could laugh at aggy as they squeezed their own nuts, and whined incessantly about the BOMC....but I quit laughing when they killed 12 of their own as a direct result of their aggy stupidity, and have harmed a university that is a public asset and resource of my state, educating the people of my state...Elon and Tesla are following the same path.

    I've laughed as Elon has repeatedly shot himself in the dick, and as his cult has consistently cheered him on with "brilliant shot, good sir!"  But now....the largest employer in my community is taking it in the shorts because of his stupidity.  A shitload of my fellow Central Texans have lost their jobs...and more are likely to follow.  Elon's utter stupidity is now directly harming my neighbors.  And it fucking pisses me off.

    The Elon knob-gobblers, including most of our state leadership, needs to tell him to quit focusing on being a pathetic fucking edge lord, and either start being an actual fucking businessman or clear the fucking way for someone who will be.

    When they announced the plant was going into Del Valle I sat back and thought. Well shit, few of the people who live there can get a good job for good ole'Elon.

    @Brisketexan OK, we missed out on the Trump Bibles, but I have other horrible ideas. Cyber Pet Rocks. It is like a pet rock, but with wireless technology that connects you to the earth without the dirt.

    Alternative plan, we get those little plastic/glass jewels from the dollar store, and repackage that has Cyber Soil: become a master of tech and terraform your kingdom with your favorite color. (Ad featuring Soleil Moon Frye)

    Take my money

    What's going to happen, warranty wise, when it rains on these vehicles, birds shit on them, etc?  Tesla has already explicitly warned against this kind of thing:

    Just don't go to HEB on a rainy day.

    Yep and even further, OU can take a loss from us and still win the Big 12 and get to where they want. Always count on aggy to trip up along the way to fall short. The few times they have beaten Bama in their SEC tenure, didn't even result in a SEC West representative in the SEC championship game. I believe Bama both times have went to the national championship, so the loss didn't phase them.

    Saban Vs. Jimbo. I will pick Saban to recover from a loss.

  6. Nice.

    Total domination: Houck tosses MLB's first 'Maddux' of '24

    That term, in honor of Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, refers to a shutout accomplished in fewer than 100 pitches.

    Houck did the honors in 94 pitches, 69 of them strikes. It was the first shutout by a Red Sox pitcher since Michael Wacha on June 6, 2022 at Anaheim. And the first “Maddux” by a Boston hurler since Clay Buchholz on Aug. 31, 2014.

    Phoenix and Vegas probably need teams, but shit nothing in Tenn or the Carolinas? 

    I think Tenn gets one. 

    I would love to see more games played in San Juan. Rotate teams for a head to head.

    Incessant emails from Amazon that read “NNM, will you rate your transaction at Amazon with [random vendor]?
     

    No, I won’t. I bought a widget, they sold it to me.  It’s called commerce. If I like it and need more of it and they delivered a quality product in a timely fashion, I’ll order it again. If the quality was crap, or it was late, or I didn’t need it after all, then I’ll return it or choose another vendor.

    But I’m not going to play your ratings game. 

    My favorite is I still have not received the item. Review what dumbasses.

  9. Pelicans' Zion Williamson out with hamstring injury

    New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has been ruled out of Friday's play-in tournament elimination game against the Sacramento Kings with a left hamstring strain, the team announced Wednesday.

    The Pelicans said an MRI on Wednesday confirmed the injury and Williamson will be reevaluated in approximately two weeks.
