High Plains Drifter

I wouldn't say it was my favorite movie, but that fight at the end of Lethal Weapon between Riggs and Gary Busey's character was stupid.

Looking in the pizza box for a slice is the cherry on that sundae

Especially the Basque region.

We're going to have to put door gunners on planes departing Dallas aren't we?

At my daugther's school they are having a food drive. Every week, she has to set aside 10% of her allowance for charity. She gets to pick the charity to donate to after the money has added up to a sizable donation. She decided to buy food for the food drive. We went to Dollar General thinking the money would go farther. They had plenty of hot pockets and shit, but no actual canned vegetable or canned tuna. Plenty of chefboyardee, but no plain pasta or pasta sauce. People shopping for food at the Dollar Store maybe buying cheap food*, but its shit food. *Or maybe its not cheap, I have no idea how much a hot pocket goes for at HEB vs Dollar Store.

Critters are digging the heat released by the decaying organic matter. Or at least they were.

I see what you

Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians, too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books. I recommend Batman especially, for he tends to transcend the abysmal society in which he's found himself. His morality is rather rigid, also.

Do you ever just sit in the bottom of the hole, crack a cold one, and just chill out?

lol. Only thing worse than Mc is cold Mc. Richest man in the world and a Kennedy are both too spineless to say "Nah, I'm not going to eat that shit." Does that airplane not have a galley and stewards?

True story: When we lived in the RGV (Hidalgo County), my wife defended a dude who was getting evicted from his trailer park (Think "Trailer Park Boys" but in the RGV). When he moved in something like 20 years ago every tenant was Hispanic. Over the years, and through a couple of different owners, the park went to 100% gringo (except for my wife's client), most who were winter Texans from places like Wisconsin or where ever. Management claimed that he was being evicted because he didn't cut the grass on his lot. He claimed he was being evicted because he was the "last Mexican"(his words, not mine). Eventually they went to trial. The out of town, white owners hired some big shot lawyer from Houston. He met with my wife, to try to avoid trail. She refused to give in, and he told her she was about to find out what a "real" attorney could do to a "little lady" like her. I guess he didn't know she graduated top of her class from UT Law, and has a 2-0 record arguing cases in front of the Texas Supreme Court and a 1-0 record in front of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. In addition an amicus brief she filed in a SCOTUS case was quoted in the final ruling. So on the day of the trial, the (Hispanic, female) judge was late. Finally, trial started, and my wife asked her client on the stand if he ever heard management use any racial slurs. He said yes. She asked when. He said "Just this morning, while we were waiting for the judge, somebody said 'I guess this court runs on Mexican time.'" The judge stopped the court and asked the defendant to point out exactly who had said that. The defendant said "He (pointing to plaintiff's attorney) said it to him (pointing to the plaintiff- the park manager)." Anyway, my wife won the trial, and got attorney's fees, when she pointed out the lease, signed by the park manager, clearly stated that management was responsible for maintaining, including cutting, the grass on the tenants' lots. To bring this all back to the recent theme of the thread, the trailer park was a nudist trailer park. Inhabited by winter Texans. And at last count, one elderly Mexican.

Can somebody explain what this meme means to me? Assume that I have the intelligence of your nerdy, 12 year old nephew:

Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure? "If I had thumbs, I'd give this movie the finger." - Moby Dick Flipping around last night, I caught about the last 3/4 ths of Lethal Weapon. Movie holds up well. Danny Glover steals the show. Now I want to rewatch Predator 2. Lethal Weapon 2 was on after. Doesn't hold up. Couldn't make it through the first chase scene.

Fuck that. Been done. Didn't work. I say let them get their faces eaten, then laugh in their bloody faces. If they want to keep voting for the leopards, fuck em. I'm not spending another quantum of effort on the stupids anymore. I'm done with them. Fuck em.

There will be no truce.

That may all be true, but is it not also true for young women?

I'm dotard and Stephen Miller will get right on that.

CNN is shit, but John King is the diamond in the pile of shit.

priorities dude. Focus.

Its quite simple, morons. The graph is about exoplanets (it includes our solar system planets for reference). The x axis is mass, measured as a multiple of earth mass. For example, the number two on the x axis represents 2 times the earth's mass. The y axis is radius, also as a multiple of earth's radius. each triangle or circle represents an exoplanet with a known radius and mass. The little cross things are error bars. Our solar system planets don't have error bars because we know their radii and masses with high levels of precision. The bars sticking out from the left are the number of planets discovered in each "bin", or with that narrow range of radius. They aren't all represented as data points presumably because we don't know their masses. RV (circles) and TTV (triangles) are two different ways of determining an exoplanets mass. So each known exoplanet is shown as a circle or triangle depending on how its mass was determined. The faint, gray dashed lines show the density of the planets. I think the colored lines show the makeup of some aspect of the planet (core maybe?) although I don't understand how a planet can be 100% H2O. The colored scale shows either the flux of the planet's magnetic field, again measured as a multiple of Earth's magnetic field, or the temperature measured using the Kelvin scale (of the core I presume) of the planet. The color of the dot or triangle tells you the flux, the color of the lines tell you temperature. I'm not sure what topographic looking circles are, presumably some measure of something about the planets. The closer to the centers of those circles, the higher some value is. Each line represents a discrete change up or down from that value. Finally, the curves along the x axis show approximately the frequency that planets with a certain radius fall into that mass range. For example, under the blue curve, you can see that most planets with a radius of 2-3 times Earth's radius have about 9 times the Earth's mass.

Lets do it!

strange, I don't remember any sexy couches in that movie.
