  1. ngl, I'd hit the right side version, with the lights on, sober.
  2. Friend of mine is an engineer and test driver for Bridgestone/Firestone. He says just buy the middle priced tires. Cheaper are cheaper, more expensive don't really get you anything more, its all just marketing.
  3. Comments are saying Black Racer. I cant confirm, but the racers in my area are definitely climbers and biters.
  4. Parents took me to see Jaws at the old drive in on Ben White, which was near the intersection with I-35, iirc. Movie came out in 75(I think?) so I was probably about 9. The Towering Inferno was the second movie, which actually scared me more for some reason. I remember a scene where an elevator opens and the fire bursts in and burns up all the people in the elevator. Also saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time at that drive in. Any of you old timers remember that drive in? @Armybrat ?
  5. @Irish Wrist Watch I'd wait to trim until the leaves drop. Also, in your second pic, I'd cut both of those branches that join near the soil and go to the left completely off. Keep the main trunk. You probably want a "tree" and not a "bush". But wait for winter. However I'd also defer to @cactusflinthead, he seems to know more what he's talking about.
  6. If I rep this because I agree with the opinion, then that's two of us, which means it might not be an unpopular movie opinion, which means it shouldn't be in this thread, which means I should neg it. But I can't neg a post I don't like. Anyway, agree, Nolan' Batman films are overrated garbage.
  7. They are also: safer handle better more reliable easier to drive (power steering, back up cameras, power windows, etc) but 200% harder to fix. I have to take the goddamn air intake thingy off to put in a new battery on my truck. I had to take off that piece of shit plastic cover on the bottom of the car AND the pipe (or whatever its called) that connects the catalytic converter to the muffler to replace a starter on the beater econobox. What fucking engineer thought it was a good idea to put the starter on the bottom of the car?
  8. I hope the bombshell is a video of him shitting his pants, walking around with shit spilling over the back of his pants, dripping out his pants legs, while he makes jokes about "dirty messicans" and "filthy immigrants" and "shithole countries".
  9. I was commenting on the shitbag owner who closed his business for a political stunt. This was actually a savvy move by dOTArd. We make fun of it, because he's fat and stupid, but his supporters eat that shit up like a 2 for 1 mcrib special.
  10. Kirby Smart is a giant gaping vagina, dickbag, whatever else. But he exposed the fact that our OL is not very good, and our strarting QP is not very good. Basically, our offense is not very good.
  11. You are saying this like its a bad thing
  12. Hit up Sonic today at lunch (yeah, I know, but I though I'd try the smash burger). Anyway, across from me, one of the spaces was blocked off with an orange cone. Pretty obvious to me it was because the intercom thing didn't work. So I watch in amusement as some woman sees the cone, and just kind of slowly pulls in and pushes it out of the way with her car. Then pushes the button on the intercom, waits, pushes it again, waits, all the while the carhops are walking by ignoring her. She finally waves one of the carhops over. I can't hear their conversation, but it looked pretty animated on her part. Carhop just kind of stood there and let her go off, said something, picked up the cone and showed it to her, and waited until she backed out and replaced the cone. By that time the lunch rush had really hit, and I don't think there were any spots available. edit to add: Smash burger was meh, like pretty much all sonic food, but their new fries are pretty good.
  13. My fourteen yr old thinks of Ice T as the guy who shills for Raisin' Cane's.
  14. God Emperor of Dune was pretty bad as well.
  15. I went full on shaved bald some years ago and never looked back. Its glorious, liberating, and feels damn good. Once a week, clippers with no guard, quick and easy. When I'm retired and a full time man of leisure, I might get a weekly standing reservation at a barber and just have them shave it, just as an indulgence. Starting getting gall bladder pain a while back. Getting more and more frequent. Dr. Google tells me its gall stones passing. Not nearly as bad as kidney stones, but much more frequent. Feels like heartburn but in the wrong place. Not worth getting my gall bladder removed, but still sucks. I'm feeling this morning's breakfast tacos. Dr. Google also says gall stones can be reduced by cutting out saturated fats, eating lean meats, less dairy, more veggies, lose weight, exercise more, yadda yadda yadda, the same ol' shit.
  16. Should have ripped out his nose piercing after he was done pistol whipping him.
  17. Off the top of my head, I made of list of Elmo pros and cons: Space X- Current leader in the private space industry, but only with massive government investment (some might call that "welfare"), but continuous, repeated environmental violations. Boca Chica, Port Isabel, South Padre Island, and the southern Laguna Madre will be a giant superfund site long before Space X lands somebody on the Moon, much less Mars. Goodbye fishing, goodbye best birding in the US, goodbye best beaches in Texas. Given us a rocket that can be reused (although maybe we should wait until its successfully relaunched before we start sucking Elmo dick), looks cool on video when it lands. Tesla- Started out well, turned to complete shit. See cyber suck, FDS, human controlled robots serving drinks (lol wut?). Boring company- Complete joke from the start, hasn't done anything. Of course Aggy goes full aggy and hires them to bore a tunnel.... somewhere. Neuralink- not even sure what the fuck that is, other than a money hole. Starlink- being actively used by Russian invaders. Bringing internet to remote areas? Is it reliable, affordable, I don't know. Does it do what it was supposed to do, such as provide high speed internet to a moving vehicle? Adds to the low Earth orbit landfill (space fill?). Twitter- lol, not going to bother. Add in safety violations at various factories, accident rates way higher than any industry average, union busting, more ignoring of environmental regulations. Keeps talking shit about saving humanity by colonizing mars, which is a fucking joke that a smart 9 year old knows is bullshit. If he really was concerned about humanity, he would use his fortune and alleged smarts to reverse global warming. He's a wannabe fascist. He openly promotes conspiracy theories that undermine democracy and endangers marginalized communities. He's also a complete dipshit, horrible father to X kids from Y baby mommas, an illegal immigrant, lies lies lies, over promises and underdelivers, and is just an all around terrible person. Extremely punchable face, wears cowboy hat backwards in an attempt to look Texan (black felt in summer in S. Texas), sports a disgusting half ass beard, smells his own farts. Last and maybe worst (depends on your world view I guess), he's a billionaire. Billionaires should not exist in a functioning democracy. When they do occasionally show up like a turd washing up on a public beach, they should be immediately sterilized and disposed of/ taxed out of existence, and viewed as a symptom of a fucked up sewer system/ failing democracy, not something to be celebrated and idolized. Did I miss any? Also, sorry for bad grammar.
