  1. hand grinder? Are you Amish?
  2. WTF? No Johnny B. Goode? No Helter Skelter? No Get Back?
  3. One of the Sirius channels went all-RHCP over the weekend. I listened quite a bit. Chad Smith is a motherfucker. Just a powerhouse. One of the greatest.
  4. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/12/california-minimum-wage-myth/681145/ The California Job-Killer That Wasn’t The state raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers—and employment kept rising. So why has the law been proclaimed a failure? By Rogé Karma The story seemed to fit into a familiar theme: naive California progressives overreaching and generating a predictable fiasco. “Let me give you the downside,” Donald Trump responded when recently asked whether he would agree to raise the federal minimum wage during his second term. “In California, they raised it up to a very high number, and your restaurants are going out of business all over the place. The population is shrinking. It’s had a very negative impact.” Except it hasn’t. In the six months after California’s new minimum wage came into effect in April, the state’s fast-food sector actually gained jobs and did so at a faster pace than much of the rest of the country.
  5. What? The guys that sang "there will never be a nigger SAE" are 100% Trump? You don't say?
  6. Hahaha. Memory is the 2nd thing to go, I suppose.
  7. Jim famously drives the Firebird (853 OKG), but, in every car chase, the guy chasing him is driving a very large, heavy, Detroit 4 door. At minimum an LTD, but often a Caddy or a Continental.
  8. I read that as "pooped herself" and I was going to ask what is her surly handle
  9. these boxes are NOT internet connected. They communicate via bluetooth to a subscribers phone.
  10. we use sentrilock, which, IMO, is a superior system. Orange County and I.E. use Supra. No idea what they are doing in Los Angeles. The advantage to Sentrilock is the keypad. I can give vendors, appraisers, whatever, a "1 day code" which they can enter in the keypad to get access. The code is generated by the phone app. In this case, I was the last agent who opened the lockbox per the entry log. BUT, if she had given somebody a 1 day code, that entry won't show until the next sentri subscriber opens the box. The lockbox communicates with the app, and tells the app "hey, I was opened with a code entry at 2:24 PM (or whenever). Once the box communicates that with somebody's app, the listing agent's log will be updated.
  11. so yesterday, I show a house, lock up, chat with my client a bit in the driveway, and leave. 2 hours later I get a call from the listing agent...I'm the last person to use the lockbox, and I left the house wide open and the lockbox open. didn't even close the doors. I call my client. Do you recall me locking up? Of course, she says. You locked the doors and then returned the key to the lockbox while we were chatting. I don't know what the fuck happened, but some agent out their thinks i'm an irresponsible asshole. I will stipulate to being an asshole, but I'm at least responsible.
  12. That guy was on Stern this week. It was interesting.
  13. My GF is 100% danish. Both sets of grandparents from Denmark, her mom born over there, her dad born here. Her dad, long passed, hated swedes.
  14. That's another thing that defines "grown-ass man". Has money in his pocket and knows how to use a fucking clutch.
  15. finger fucking?
  16. This right here is a humblebrag, y'all.
  17. Thanks for the link. They really screwed the pooch when they didn't cast Idris Elba. He would have been so great.
  18. A lot of them live together...3 congressmen rent a 3 bedroom house, etc. Then there are the crooks. Remember "Duke" Cunningham? He lived on a defense contractors yacht.
  19. (should be on the stupid wives thread) GF and I spent last week in Palm Springs. Rented a condo at a resort. We walked into the courtyard one night returning from dinner, and I spotted a skunk slip through the rails of the pool fence. I told the GF "there's a skunk over there" and she bolted over to him to get a closer look. Who the fuck runs towards a skunk?
  20. does Cory Redding still have that barber shop in Austin?
  21. any grown-ass man that is advanced enough to use valet parking needs to carry cash to tip the mofo doing the parking. same with bellman, etc. "I don't carry cash"? What the fuck, do you expect the guy with the taco cart to take Amex?
  22. Lance White, Private Eye.
  23. He didn't change a fucking thing
  24. Every single time Rockford gets on a plane, we see footage of a 747 landing. LAX-LAS or LAX-SFO? 747.
