  1. mike is definitely an a-hole. CNN should try and be a real news organization and do in-depth hit pieces like this on every candidate running for national office.
  2. nobody is getting paid 9K to teach a full year at a public school in Illinois. that's just a headline to spark faux outrage. Let the market set the minimum. At some point governments and constituents are going to have to realize they need to figure out what is most important and necessary in the allocation of tax dollars. I would argue education, nutrition and care of children is absolutely the most important thing at the local and state level. Care for the elderly would probably be a close second, but if we get the care and education of the children right they hopefully find success in the world and need less help/care as elderly people. That said, if teachers do not like the wages paid in Illinois they should consider using the market to move to a place with better wages. Illinois will eventually have a supply shortage of teachers, and wages will have to increase in order to meet demand. This isn't a complex problem. It gets complex when feelings are mixed with market forces.
  3. How’s the suspension on it? Haven’t driven one of those in a while. Last time i drove one it was badass as long as going straight. Get a bend and it still demanded it go straight. That was some time ago, and it was a different set up.
  4. I felt like the last two episodes have been outstanding. the pieces are coming together nicely, and it's getting really fun to watch.
  5. it's not a popular thought because it is completely untrue. Yes, she was "qualified" in that she had held government jobs. That said, he work product was an absolute failure making her completely unelectable to anyone who valued being good at performing the jobs where one gained their experience/qualifications. It also didn't help that she's an extremely unlikeable, narcissistic c*nt. Guess she and Trump were at a stalemate, or cancelled each other out on that front. As for Rand, hes a despicable politician who has been corrupted and fallen into the Washington trap that all the rest of them fall into. He's nothing more than an establishment cancer at this point.
  6. Best score was a 78 at lookout mountain country club in Tennessee Best score at a historic venue is 83 at pebble Best overall round i ever played was a 92 at spy glass. I hit 13/14 fairways hitting the ball long, but was still having to hit 3,4,5 iron into those damn tiny ass elevated greens and then chip and putt. That course was set up for the tourney so it was brutal. two weeks later Michelson shot 62 there and confirmed how much i suck a golf Shot 88 at the old course at St. Andrews which was solid given the wind and rain and shit going on that day
  7. that is full on badass right there. let us know how you like it, and get more pictures.
  8. that's good bait. Let's see how many you catch.
  9. yep. drive them, and drive them hard and they're some of the best, most reliable cars on the road. Put them in the garage and they get very cranky in a hurry.
  10. took my 10 year old down to a spot in Lytle just south of san Antonio. We had access to a huge field of sunflowers. The sheer volume of birds was absolutely argentina levels. Kiddo shot about 400 rounds, and hit 13 birds. Not bad considering he'd never shot a shotgun, nor ever fired at a moving target ever. Everyone else easily limited out. I hadn't been bird hunting in so long I had forgotten how fun it was. Can't wait to go back. I need to get a new gun for me and the kiddo.
  11. plant sunflowers out there. if you build it they will come.
  12. Last nights episode was probably my favorite of the series so far. it had the most overlap, and run into BB. Amazing how much that episode moved things along yet had very limited exposure on the Gus side of the equation. The engineering/lab feasibility scenes were fantastic. JImmy is almost there to Saul. I was hoping that at the end of this episode we'd get a 9 months of saul in the cell phone store montage, and next episode he'd be back in the law game full speed to Saul. I kept thinking he was going to sell Jessie or Wendy a phone at the dog stand.
  13. Agree with all of this. I like greany’s jack jr books a lot. This show was solid. Could better and there really as no reason to change the backstory. While Cathy had nice tits, that role was definitley mis-cast to me.
  14. So far Tom is one game better than Charlie, but at least hasn’t been blown out routinely yet. Charlie was incompetent and had no idea what he was doing Tom thinks he’s smarter than everyone, but doesn’t appear to actually be smarter than anyone. They both fucked up hiring staff and neither had a decent qb coach nor play caller. Both make bad personnel decisions repeatedly.
  15. Mileage based or once per year. Mileage is like 30k and 50k replace spark plugs and shit like that. Otherwise is basically oil and basic shit like wiper blades.
  16. All of mine have been. I’ve had 5 of their cars. The one I’ve had the longest is a 2005 carerra s (997) that I bought back in 2005. Still have it. Still drove it hard. I’ve been lucky to not have any ims or rms issues with it. Mine has absolutely been the best and most reliable car I’ve ever had. In 14 years I’ve dont oil changes, scheduled interval maintenance (cost is dependent on mileage interval) and tires. Other than that I’ve replaced a water pump. One rule is make sure the car has been driven at least 6k miles per year on average. The cars that get driven are the cars that stay on the road. The garage queens that aren’t driven much are the ones they end up being a bit more trouble. Good luck with the search. They’re great, reliable cars for sure.
  17. Roach was terrible at linebacker all day. It reading keys, always suckered by any misdirection suckered him, terrible in space and coverage. That said, porter as a 3rd down back over Watson is beyond stupid. Porter over anyone is stupid. The guy is not dynamic in any way whatsoever.
  18. Just saw that car parked in a drive way a couple of blocks from i house. Awesome car. Love the gulf livery.
  19. It is underutilized and a b12 anchor baby at this point. I’d rather not have it and move to the Sec where we would have no network, but have watchable conference home games that might make me want to go through the hassle of driving over from Houston. That’s said, I love it for baseball.
  20. That new 4Runner looks like ass. Shame. Used to be none of the classiest looking suv’s out there.
  21. If that’s your major gripe with yours then consider yourself very lucky!
  22. Didn’t happen as much in my x5m due to it having a bit more rumble with the exhaust. You couldn’t feel the speed so much in that one, but you could hear it more. This thing the exhaust is pretty quiet. If there’s no one around that you’re passing like they’re standing still there just no real marker of speed unless you look down at the speedometer. These things are crazy, but I’m damn glad they make them. It’s amazing what Gwrman engineers do to defy the laws of physics.
  23. in her case this is nam. she is actually Vietnamese! I picked up the rig yesterday. The sheer power of this thing is absurd. At one point as I was casually driving along just cruising, I glance down at the speedometer to see 141. I had no idea. It was so quiet and firmly connected to the road it just seemed like I was cruising at 75-80. There were no cars around so I wasn't passing anyone. Just cruising, and lost focus on speed. that happened several times. I finally set the cruise on 85 and left it alone.
  24. yeah. they do have real pics of that car, but I couldn't get them to load.
