  1. Well there weren’t literal thousands of people doing it all at the same time with razor wire in a country where safety is barely a word and life is often a disposable asset. Hopefully they can get some enforceable laws in place before the annual lawn dart festival in February.
  2. From another source: ”However, the festival also “sees revellers take place in deadly contests where they try to cut down other kites with their own kite string”, wrote The Mirror. It said these contests lead kite flyers to reinforce their kite strings “with glass powder or even metal, making it sharp enough to lead to the horrific deaths”. Kite flying has become “notorious for causing death and serious injury in India”, said the Daily Mail, with two children dying at the event in 2016. That year the local government in India’s capital Delhi banned the use of sharpened, glass-covered strings, promising to “run campaigns to educate people about the dangers” as well as hand out punishments to those who do use them, said the BBC. In 2017, the National Green Tribunal banned the use of the strings, known as ‘manja’, across India.”
  3. Which is probably why she was such a good voice for Disgust on Inside Out.
  4. Ok cleared cookie just for Sury and now on server s100…I think, it renders below the clear cookie button. No ads now.
  5. On desktop with Edge I’m on Server Big with no ads. Safari mobile I’m on Server with mad ads…clicking ‘delete cookie/change server’ does nothing. Do I really need to clear all cookies and do all the bullshit re-logging in your kill these ads?
  6. From the land of nipples! (Incredibly obscure MST3k reference…Girl in Gold Boots holla)
  7. The writers for season 2 of NowThis are trying too hard
  8. All bullshit that lead to that moment aside, it was refreshing to watch a team actually listen to my dumbass and go for 2 when the defense commits a penalty on a TD. Late in a critical game like that, it’s all about information…and you learn more about your options by going for 2 there: get it and you can play the rest of the game for a winning FG, miss it and you know with 3m left you need a TD. Kicking the PAT just means you’re on the defensive now and lost the initiative. Fortune favors the bold…fuck it. Fun game
  9. Has he tried getting elected to Congress?
  10. Oh gawd it better be recorded and made publicly available
  11. As noted above I haven’t been on a strict dry January but only drank once, four Pecan Porters (over five hours) a week ago at my buddy’s house for a very rare get together with him. Don’t see anything for another few weeks where I’ll drink anything…glad for that. December saw me give back 3 pounds of the 25 I’d lost last year and my resting heart rate went from monthly average of 59 to about 64, mostly due to having at least one drink a good 15/31 days. Glad to be back on the downlow. On a side note I love me some Hometown Hero Delta 9 Select Spectrum gummies. Mail order them, split one with my wife every week or so…good stuff. At ACL I’d have 3-4 beers during the day then switch to a gummy half when the sun went down, great way to keep vibing without all the complications/hangover. Legal in Texas.
  12. I thought it was over when they bombed Pearl Harbor
  13. Seems the new Congress is off to a great start. In general I agree there should be as extensive an investigation as feasible into the origins of Covid, but in practice I don’t really see The Lancet / NYT / etc somehow breaking down the walls of communist China to find proof of origin and ‘hold them accountable’. So…good luck y’all? Get yourself to Wuhan and start banging on the door of the lab…I’m sure it was just US journalists that needed convincing to really figure it out this time.
  14. I predict wonderful things for this thread
  15. “I’m totally not Mackenzie even though I’ve only posted twice ever, both times in the Mackenzie thread, tirelessly extolling the flawless virtues of one Mackenzie Kelly as she navigates the bulging, lumpy road of politics in her district”.
  16. It’s my fault, every time I open the pistols firing site there’s more bad news. Just gonna stop reading it for a few…years I guess.
  17. Oh no the NOTAMS were down? How could they tell? Obviously joking but just being an aviation fan I always find it humorous just how many NOTAMS there can be with extraneous information, just like every ATIS cautioning about bird activity near an airport. If you don’t have Foreflight or a dispatch department, it’s gotta be a bitch to decode in busy airspace. https://www.flyingmag.com/why-notams-are-garbage/
  18. The one tailgate I stopped by, I couldn’t tell if he was 25 or 65…I’m 42 and anything more than 1 drink per hour with lots of water and 2-3 dry hours before bedtime fucks with my sleep.
