  1. When we beat tOSU in Sep of 2005, somebody burned a couch in the parking lot of the intramural fields off of 51st ST. Don't know if it was UT or tOSU fans that did it.
  2. Should have let her vote twice, then arrested her dumb ass.
  3. Last night wife comes downstairs and asks me if I know how to take the battery out of a laptop. I say what are you talking about? While she was working, suddenly the laptop shut off, and won't restart. According to some website, the first thing to do is take out the battery. Yeah, that ain't happening. She comes down and hands me the laptop. Its so fucking hot it feels like its about to melt. I ask her where she was working. In the bed. What was the laptop resting on? A pillow. I say I got this. She goes away. I wait for the laptop to cool down, and restart it. I try to explain without tone that you can't rest it on a pillow or it overheats, and automatically shuts down to avoid damage. Apparently I did not succeed in the tone department.
  4. With a normal amount of rain (big if), the grass should be back in a year, two tops. Then in a natural ecosystem it would burn again in 5-20 or so years. But naturally occurring burns would not be so wide spread-- they would be more "patchy". We have traded frequent but small burns for infrequent but large burns. Not good for ecosystems, or ranches, or people. Mix in climate change (fucked up rain patterns, overall hotter temps on average) and shit is even more fucked. I know this probably won't be a popular opinion, so please don't neg stomp me, but they should just let that shit burn. Because its going to burn eventually, and the more time that passes before it burns, the hotter/more ecologically destructive the burning will be. (Of course, they should do everything they can to protect people, homes, barns, livestock, etc).
  5. Yeah, we have an annual recycle drive where they pick up old electronics and cables. Better than the landfill I guess.
  6. If it was during the actual week of San Fermin, all the partiers were probably in Iruna (Pamplona) for the running of the bulls insanity. Which is only a short bus ride away. But yeah, I love San Sebastian. The entire northern coast of Spain is beautiful.
  7. Speaking of pumping gas-- The screen is so shitty and dark, you can't read it. Especially when the sun is shining on it.
  8. They get federal minimum wage and they have to buy their healthcare on the marketplace. BOOM! overnight federal minimum gets raised and universal health care. Oh, also if the government gets shutdown, they don't get paid or healthcare. BOOM AGAIN! government never gets shutdown again.
  9. Uh, I just a heard story on NPR this morning about how doTaRD is underperforming in the primaries, including Michigan, vs Haley.
  10. if we didn't have the electoral system, this would be spot on. But when a handful of states decide the election, and those handful of state are very closely evenly divided, this is what you get. But I agree. If a candidate loses, and the other guy gets 65% of the white vote, you can't blame the muslims or the blacks in one state. AND, I am concerned about this "uncommitted" thing in Michigan. I think a lot of people on this board are dismissing the very real possibility that it could be a difference maker.
  11. "Cancel account and stop billing my credit card," Oklahoma resident Samie Elliot wrote in a January email that landed in Hurtt's inbox. She later explained to him that neither she nor her husband, who are both retired, recalled ever signing up for recurring monthly political donations and that these charges have been occurring for at least a year getting their faces eaten.
  12. If I use my house to make meth, it can be seized. So why not if I use my house, or business, or club or whateverthefuck it is, to hide classified docs, why can't it be seized? Yes, I realize this is a different case, but still. I see in the news people getting money or cars or houses seized because they had bag of weed or their teenage son sold a narc a bag out of the house. What is the difference... oh wait, I forgot, dOTarD is rich and white, nevermind.
  13. Gaetz in the background is the chef's kiss.
  14. If you are poor, and you want to fuck over some other poor person (who has kids), call CPS and anonymously tell them that the poor person you want to fuck over smokes dope has a transgender kid. CPS will show up and search the house for dope estrogen. Don't want your house searched? Then they take your kids. Happens everyday in Texas. When my wife worked for legal aid, she was constantly suing CPS so a fucked over (usually single mom) parent could get their kids back for this very reason. So, lets get on those phone people. Those anonymous CPS reports aren't going to make themselves.
  15. “I think I’ve got a pretty good understanding as an outsider of China,” Musk said on the All-In Podcast. “From their standpoint, maybe it is analogous to Hawaii or something like that, like an integral part of China that is arbitrarily not part of China.” jfc
  16. I don't know, but I know that one in the bush is better than two in the hand.
  17. Meanwhile over in MagaLand, special needs kid gets kicked out of a front row seat at a Maga rally, er I mean CPAC, just before DoTArd comes out to speak.
  18. Last time I was in Alpine, they had a brand new Tesla charging station. I have no idea if its compatible with non-Teslas. Funny thing- its outside a drive through beer barn, not at a gas station.
