  1. Propaganda works, Americans have the memory of a flea, news at 11.
  2. The reinsurance shitshow rolls downhill to pretty much everything else too. It can be challenging to get the CFO of an energy company to accept that the outcome of the Baltimore bridge claim/Florida Hurricane claims/Cali Wildfire claims can have a significant impact on the premium to insure their assets in the Permian Basin. It's generally all re-insured through the same handful of mega carriers in Europe. It's hard to get my head around the scale of the damage from this fire. Gut wrenching stuff.
  3. My dad is on a lease out near Junction and they have a hard and fast rule that you have to shoot 2 doe or a doe/cull buck before you can shoot your trophy. The ranch manager enforces it and you lose your spot if you don't follow the rule. My old man is still real mad at them and has a lot of friends and family that will take any sausage he can get them so I think he shot 7 or 8 doe early in the season. He helps his buddies on the lease fulfill their 2 doe obligation every year. The ranch is on a MLDP so they can start early and keep hunting bucks late too. They've had this rule in effect for 5+ years and I think it's improved the quality of trophies, but that could be driven by any number of other factors too I guess. I'm curious about the duck hunting this year. I live on an East Texas lake and we're usually covered up in Coots by November with good numbers of Canvasbacks not far behind. I've seen very few Coots this year and not a single Canvasback. I thought for sure the big front this week would push a lot of ducks in, but still nothing.

    Colonoscopy

    The nurse in post op must have been able to see it on my face and told me it was normal to have gas pains and that it was fine to pass gas in there. I didn't want to do the proverbial gamble-on-a-fart-and-lose trick so I waited until I got back to the friendly confines of my own bathroom to let it fly. Relief was immediate.

    Colonoscopy

    My procedure was a cake walk too. The worst part were the gas pains after from all the air trapped in there. Dr said everything looks fine so I should be set for another 5 years. Propofol is insane - like someone else said in this thread - it's just like an off switch.

    Colonoscopy

    I had some chicken broth for dinner and I should have just poured it into the toilet.

    Colonoscopy

    I think it took about 35-40 minutes for the fun to start for me.

    Colonoscopy

    I keep thinking it's over and then 10 minutes later I have to do the truffle shuffle to the toilet. How is there anything left inside me? And yea, I'm ready to eat. Going to be full-on hangry by 8 am tomorrow morning.

    JFC, stop this train I want to get off.

    Colonoscopy

    Welp, it's my time in the barrel tomorrow. Starting my prep around noon today. I've got broth and green jello for sustenance and frost Gatorade to mix the colon blow with. We had a water line bust under the slab in our bathroom on Sunday and I got the fear thinking about going through the prep without my bidet. Luckily the plumbers were able to locate the leak and fix it on Monday.
  11. That's a great buy. I'm looking at used Tacos right now for my son who turns 16 next year and can't believe how expensive these are. I had a 4 door 2003 TRD off road that I traded in on a Suburban when we started having kids. I think it had ~130,000 miles on it and carmax gave me $10k for it. That was quite a bit higher than the GM dealer offered me and I was glad to have it. That same fucking truck is now $15k+ if it's in decent shape. Here's one in Atlanta currently for sale: FOH
  12. Co-sign. I think this website is what drove me to upgrade my line game and it made a huge difference.
  13. Anyone ever stayed in a ski in/ski out at Steamboat? I'm looking around at condos on the Steamboat website and most everything looks like it was last updated in 1992. I'm trying to take my 2 sons for a quick trip over President's day weekend and don't really need anything too fancy, but some of these units have reviews like "great location but could use a good cleaning." Storm Meadows East and Storm Meadows Club both look like they are right on one of the lower runs. https://www.steamboat.com/plan-your-trip/lodging/lodging-accomodations/condominiums?arrivalDate=2025-02-13&departureDate=2025-02-17&adultCount=1&childCount=2#_
  14. Well at least we know that the Botox Bullyragger will just slink away quietly and totally won't make a scene dragging everyone else in the GQP through a river of shit. So there's that. Which is nice.
  15. I've been the doomer among my family and friends. I have yet to talk to a single person outside of this website that thinks it's going to be as bad as I do. AND IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH WORSE THAN I COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE! JFC. This is gasoline for the @linux accelerationist fire?
  16. Ask Jeff Sessions how he feels about giving up his senate seat for a year of working for Turnip. Fired him like a dog.
  17. This. It's still early, but no algo, no billionaire owner, and it's highly customizable from a moderation/auto blocking/labeling standpoint. But at the same time I don't know that I want to be as plugged in to the day-to-day fuckery that is going to kick off in the new year.
  18. Thiel is the real bond villain here and he has been playing the long game backing JD and he's playing for keeps. I don't know that Elmo is going to have the influence that he thinks he is. I do hope he keeps bumping his gums about being the shadow president.
  19. The only thing that makes me doubt this story is that the president of the company didn't find a way to blame Biden for there being no Christmas bonuses.
