High Plains Drifter

Yes. I got a good one. But you have to start it.

Reminds me of this metallica song: Spineless from the start Sucked into the part Circus comes to town You play the lead clown Please, please, spreading his disease Living by his story Knees, knees, falling to your knees Suffer for his glory Came out in mid 1980s. Seems to describe today's House Republicans perfectly. For reference purposes only:

Had that on a t-shirt that I wore from years. I got a lot of looks from a lot of my fellow rural neighbors.

Spanglish

Fuck em. Let em froth.

hello shutdown in 40 whatever days

8th grade daughter informed me two years ago she will be attending Columbia. Because its the best school in NYC, and she wants to live in NYC.

Sort of like we've been doing lately?

So he's been wearing that black, felt hat backwards in the summer for 10 years.

Wake me up when Cruz resigns. You know, like the Canadian dude did. edit: or even apologizes.

you know those assholes who pull those pranks, film them, put them on youtube, and make money? One of those assholes finally gets shot, and the jury says the shooting was in self defense, but finds him guilty on gun charges. Shooter loses months of his life sitting in jail, prankster lives and keeps making videos to the tune of 2K per month. https://wtop.com/loudoun-county/2023/09/jury-to-decide-fate-of-delivery-driver-who-shot-youtube-prankster-following-him/ I'm generally against shooting somebody in a mall, even an annoying as fuck prankster. I don't condone it, but I understand it.

Navarro, 34, is in state custody on unrelated charges, I'm sure this is another example of election interference.

His element is lead, as in the lead that was in his mother's drinking water when she was pregnant with him.

My work pet peeve is the idiot post docs I work with. How the fuck did these morons get advanced degrees in the first place? Today, this dipsht post doc rolls in around 11 am wearing fucking flip flops and shorts. The lab manager tells him, in so many words, to gtfo and come back in closed toed shoes and jeans, as per the safety rules that we are all supposed to follow. He's been told/warned before about required lab attire (which just means no open toed shoes or shorts, wear a lab coat and glasses when dealing with chemicals). He says "Oh sorry, I totally forgot" playing the absent minded yet brilliant role, when really he's just a self entitled douchebag. Then follows up with "I'm just going to be in my office at my computer all afternoon, not out in the lab area" when he's literally standing in the lab area talking and fucking around with lab equipment when the lab manager walks in. Manager threatens to call the safety nazis if he doesn't go change. He gets huffy, starts to argue, and she cuts him off with "Its my ass if the safety auditors walk in right now, and see you dressed like that." So he leaves and doesn't come back.

I live in rural, small town texas. My liberal friends in San Fran, Europe, even in Austin, worry about my safety.

Few people with lots of land with lots of oil leases. Property taxes fund those positions. And since the county judge is related to half the county, literally, they don't mind paying that high salary. In fact, a lawsuit was filed by one of the families trying to get enough of those out of county voters disqualified to overturn the election, and have a do-over. As for your second sentence, I don't really know, but I know that people residing (by any definition of the word "residing") elsewhere voted in the last election as if they were residents of Loving County.

This is a steep slippery slope you guys are walking on.

Haven't read the article, but I know first hand that many of those very wealthy "residents" list their address in loving county as some shack on somebody's land that doesn't have water or electricity. One particular two room shack with no water or electricity had six people living in it, supposedly. Six very wealthy people who own homes in places like Lubbock or Dallas. At its heart, this is all about one oil rich ranching family vs another oil rich ranching family getting their county judge and county commissioners elected. Positions in a county with a population of 65 which earn salaries around 50K.

...yet. Right? Monetary penalties coming forthwith, in a separate ruling/hearing/whatever the fuck, right?

I'm all for equal rights, equality, equal pay for equal work, smashing the patriarchy, and all that, but a girl playing full contact football is not a good idea. But its her life, her decision.

Done and done. Thanks gents.

Ardovinos is decent Italian. Second L&J. Crave is a hipster bistro if that's your thing.

it is on. I keep getting notifications (until I turned off the notifications) that I only have a month of free AV protection.

Is that a subscription service?
