  1. Wonder if Mario Kart 9 will be on both. It will sell a shit-ton on the original Switch if it’s dual-release.
  2. Sorry, you’re gonna have to John McAfee your way out of that situation. Just don’t head to Spain where you might get picked up on tax charges and “commit suicide” in prison.
  3. Seeing the building those people were on swaying compared to the horizon almost made me a little queasy.
  4. Depends on how many more North Koreans show up,
  5. May have looked at buildings that collapsed and guessed. The largest cities don't even seem to be really functioning - power outages, etc. so communications are probably difficult.
  6. So what year of the war will Putin finish off Ukraine? 5? 10?
  7. “It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Marks wrote in his letter, referring to US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Marks’ resignation takes effect April 5. In an email, an HHS official told CNN, “If Peter Marks does not want to get behind restoring science to its golden standard and promoting radical transparency, then he has no place at FDA under the strong leadership of Secretary Kennedy.” --- Resign or be fired and get nothing.
  8. Two private companies, so they don't have to get into financials publicly. I want him to merge his public companies in.
  9. I'm sure all 200 people who live within 15 miles of Ransom Canyon will be watching.
  10. I love that he's merging X and xAi (can't say AIX or IBM gets involved). Now we need him to merge Tesla and xAIx as well as SpaceX and Neuralink and Boring.
  11. At this point in the timeline, I'm not ready to rule out an extinct volcano opening up under Austin.
  12. It's getting worse. There are a lot of dog owners who are entitled as shit and are basically daring people to call them out. But the bigger problem is they are causing problems for people with legitimate service dogs in two ways - number one, they are pissing a lot of us off at dogs in general, and number two, too many are pretending that their precious little shit stains are somehow service dogs with their bullshit Temu-quality dog vests. Again, self-entitled assholes who just want attention, but they are making it hard for people with legit dogs because if the label "service dog" means nothing, it hurts legit service dogs.
  13. In the past month at a couple of Austin public parks, I've seen a big-ass off-leash labradoodle whatever knock a kid down hard onto the concrete because he wanted to play with the kid (the kid did not know the dog or the owner). I've seen what looked to be a part-boxer off the leash, jump on old dog (on a leash) who couldn't walk well and the owner of the old dog lost her shit (and rightfully so) and was filming the asshole owner and going to identify him and call the cops, etc. (somebody helped her ID the guy since he lived a few blocks over). I've seen off-leash dogs shit in the toddler areas and the owners were assholes about picking it up. I've seen off-leash dogs start two different fights. A bunch of insufferable assholes who for some reason can't use a fucking leash when there are signs all over about using a leash, are going to hopefully ruin things for all dog owners and start getting dogs banned from some parks or something. I will say there is a small group of people who have been filming the off-leash owners in public parks and identifying them. I don't know what they plan on doing with it, but they are at least quietly filming the assholes and one mentioned putting their shit on blast on social media, as well as going to the city with a list of names, how bad the problem is, etc. and I wish them well.
  14. Where else are you going to meet your future ex-wife or ex-husband?
  15. Holy shit. Pilot Knob (Austin, Texas) - Wikipedia Now I have to watch this Lone Star Austin 911 show. It sounds so insane it might be funny.
  16. Unfortunately for him, his G.I. Joe franchise never properly spun out of the Transformers films like Hasbro wanted, but it looks like they are trying again (maybe).
  17. The image they are projecting does not match up with the whole “Southern Plains” thing because a lot of people associate that with Oklahoma and Kansas and grassy plains, and this is rugged and dirty. My guess is they didn’t want to say “Llano Estacado” either because the fake cowboys who watch this shit would lose their fucking minds, even though that sounds mysterious and interesting to normal people.
  18. They call it a “window” in Russia.
  19. Ransom Canyon: where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, Ransom Canyon premieres April 17, only on Netflix.
  20. My 12 year-old loves them, he's started working through them after finishing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trio". And bumping this thread, because I guess due to there being a new Hunger Games book, it seems like a shitload of middle-schoolers are now reading the Hunger Games. My kid read the first four without us realizing it and was asking for the 5th book and if he could watch the movies.
  21. My kids still have a shitload of games to work through on the original, and even though it's backwards-compatible, we'll probably wait. Would be a good Christmas present for the family. I used to be on top of stuff with consoles - I had the PS2, PS3, and original Wii all within two weeks of launch (Wii was just luck - it was on the top shelf at an HEB and I got a stool and snagged it). Now consoles are like me and streaming TV - there's no sense of urgency for anything because I'm still working through a backlog. If we had any major trips planned this summer, I would be tempted to try and fit it into the budget if it was available (then we'd have it and the first Switch so both kids would be good to go). With that said, Mario Kart 9....
