  1. Alleged shooter. Still innocent until proven guilty, right? I mean, at least for the next couple of months?
  2. He’s melting.
  3. The different reality is legit. My niece (who I was close with) has gone full MAGA. Shes on the “Ashley Babbit was murdered in cold blood” wagon. “Kirk was a free speech hero.” Etc etc. just completely and totally gone. I sent her something from a .gov website that contradicted something she believed and she immediately called it the Biden gov website. This was two days ago. So many people are broken.
  4. They are making this asshole a martyr. The guy that said black people were better off as slaves..
  5. This was just one guy at a school. I thought it had to be like 5 or more for it to even be news anymore.
  6. Anyone catch the caliber of the bullet?? Always seems important to the gun folks. If he lives, he’s a host.
  7. "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023
  8. Based on the video… he’s probably not going to make it.
  9. If these white men that feel this way would just fuck off yo their own area and leave people alone once they are there - that would be great. But - as history has shown - let anyone besides white men start to do well and these assholes come burn it down - like Tulsa.
  10. I’m full time work from home. It allows me the ability to also be my son’s learning coach (he’s in online school). If I ever got the call to come back to the office full time, that would be my retirement day.
  11. If you want to combine wine and art - Donum Estate Winery is really cool.
  12. Based on my two weeks in a Macan GTS - buy the Porsche. This thing is really fun to drive.
  13. If they didn’t need to cover Charles, they didn’t need to pit Lando second. The team made a team call and the team screwed up. Give the place back - otherwise don’t expect preferential treatment on pit strategy.
  14. Fastest race in the history of F1.
  15. The kids (14 year old boys) I coach in soccer are always surprised to learn I’m 47 and out sprinting them. Two have caught up to me.
  16. As long as there are no other cars around to dive bomb in a corner.

    Hair Metal

    2002 or 2003 I saw Poison, skid row and Vince Neil. Bach had the best voice and killed it. Vince was, well, terrible and has only gotten worse. Poison was a really fun time - even if it was super bubblegum. This was at Cythiawoods. The scantily clad women were also out en mass.
  18. For the dads that are coming up on teaching bike riding - I was taught this method by a bike shop friend that taught 100’s of kids. 1. Find a small, grassy hill and let them roll down the hill - don’t touch the pedals. Have them keep their legs out and ready to put their feet down when the bike stops. Let them feel the balance. 2. Once comfy with that, move the feet to the pedals and roll down again - reminding them to put their feet down when they stop. 3. Once comfy with that, tell them to start pedaling when they reach the bottom of the hill. This is where you teach them how to stop - depending on the bike. 4. Move to a wide open parking lot and have fun. Good luck to you!!
  19. I have the BeatBot Aquasense 2 Ultra. I work from home, so I drop it in every couple of days to do a full clean of the pool. It’s expensive. That said - I haven’t had to sweep my walls at all since I’ve gotten it. Disclaimer - I do not have any trees around us, so our pool stays pretty clean.
  20. I’ve officially hit middle aged. I’m 47 and my lower back locked up on me Monday after mowing the yard. Today I am mostly standing up straight. Good god - this fucking sucks. I’m hoping I’m back to normal tomorrow. I have not worked out this week or cycled and it’s irritating. That said - theraguns are awesome and definitely help.
  21. I’m looking forward to the new Mazda rotary engine and sports car. That should be fun
  22. I think my wife will retire in the next two years. She will be 47. I will keep working until the kid is mostly done with college. He’s 14 and a high school freshman, so that gives us a few more years. I think I will be done in 7 years and that should allow our investments to almost double. From there - I will find a fuck you job in something that interests me or provides discounts.
