Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
Good thing thing he has a long history of admitting fault and changing course when faced with holding a losing hand. I've got a 16 year old son and seeing this shit spiral out of control has me ragey. Seeing fuckwads like Comer saying shit like boots on the ground is just something that happens in these situations is fucking outrageous.

What's happening in Iran?
This was one of my main concerns about exhausting our reserves too. This administration has not been the best on OPSEC, so it's possible that China has a pretty good pulse on our situation and is waiting for the optimal time to make their move. There would be no doubt about this being WWIII at that point.

Does anyone know where I can buy these in bulk? It's time to start sticking them on gas pumps all over East Texas.

Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
Farnaz Fassihi was on the Daily podcast yesterday, she covers Iran (and is Iranian) for the NYT and she estimated the split is 80/20 against the regime inside Iran. That doesn't mean they can easily topple the regime though. This is such a fucking mess and I fear it's going to get much much worse before it gets any better.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
My oldest is a HS sophomore and reading through this thread just makes me feel overwhelmed at the thought of going through this process. I don't think he's got much of a chance to get into UT and I really don't want him going the SEC route, but it's shocking how different everything is now compared to when I went through it. I kinda hope he ends up somewhere like Fort Lewis college where he can have a great experience and have more time to figure out what he actually wants to do with his life. Lord knows what the job prospects are going to look like anyway with AI likely changing so many things over the next 5-10 years.

2026 Midterms ...
I had the Talarico/Crockett argument with my wife this morning. She's very politically active and is borderline offended by the notion that a black woman can't win a statewide race in Texas. She thinks it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy if people continue to say that. I didn't want to get her too riled up, but I just said we have to prioritize winning the general election and we have to vote in the reality that we live in, not the reality we wished we lived in. I think our votes will cancel each other out in this one.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
That video clip gives me 2nd hand embarrassment and should finally kill off the legend of Elon's genius, but most all of the fanbois will never see it because there's no way in hell the algo is going to feed it to them. Elon just liked the way "collective conscience" sounded so big and important, but he didn't have any idea what it actually meant. And he couldn't even cobble some bullshit together even though the interviewer gave him plenty of time to gather his thoughts and spit something out.

Planes, Trains, and Auto-Massage Parlors: The 2028 Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg thread
It's the same general playbook every time. The argument is never that Dotard isn't racist/crooked/in bed with foreign adversaries, the argument is that all politicians are racist/crooked/in bed with foreign adversaries. You back these people into a corner on a particular issue and they throw their hands up, "I just hate all of them, they are all crooked." It's a total bailout that allows them to continue voting for people they know are horrible people. This ties back into the Twitter conversation from John Oliver; rage bait works and rubes like Incredulity are addicted to it.

Same. My orders triggered today; sold some at $10.50 and another chunk at $10.90 locking in a ~16% gain while still holding 5,000 "free" shares. ETA: To Harrison:

I typically loathe learning about a subject via a 30 minute long video vs. reading an article, BUT this should be required viewing for all of us. Good lord we are so fucking cooked.

Lake Travis 2024: Countdown To Zero
No no no, you use a screw drive to move the water hundreds of miles uphill to the empty reservoirs. It's simple.

Ski Season 2025/2026
We got back from Steamboat late last night after getting 3 days on the mountain. The 12" of snow that fell before we got there was a life saver and the snow was actually pretty good as long as you stayed up top. We took the gondola up every morning and didn't come down below Thunderhead until we were done for the day. The warm temps at the base made for some serious mashed potato conditions on that last run of the day. We spent the majority of our time making laps at the Sunshine Lift. The lift line would get pretty backed up mid morning, but I don't think we waited any longer than ~15 minutes the whole time and most of the time it was <10 mins. I was really on the fence about going this year but I'm so glad that we did! I met up with @gyroprotagonist for a beer one day as well, good to meet you in person bud.

Yup, the forecast from 10 days ago looks to have fizzled out quite a bit, but I'll gladly take any new snow that falls before we get there tomorrow.- Ski Season 2025/2026
- ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
We had a swim meet on Saturday and I couldn't help but shoulder surf the guy in front of me using ChatGPT to write a 2 sentence long note of congratulations to his child who was competing in the meet. I assume he was going to post it on FB, but dude was thrashing around on the ChatGPT app for a good 10 minutes before I saw something shiny and quit paying attention. We are so cooked.- High
- Running and Jogging and Shuffling
I'm in a Strava group with a few buddies and we all have a goal to do 500 miles of running or walking for the year. I only got 32 miles in for January due to the weather and some work travel, so I've got to pick up the pace in February. I got 4.6 in this morning and plan on another walk tomorrow and a run on Saturday to get back on track. I tweaked my hamstring in December doing strides at the end of a run and that fucker kept nagging me for almost a month. I tried to stick to slower paced runs and make sure I was really warming up and stretching good before pushing it at all again. One thing I've noticed is I have a bright line between a comfortable pace/heart rate and getting gassed quickly. It seems like I can hold a 9 minute pace pretty easily, but as soon as I get up to 8:45 or so my HR redlines and I really have to fight to maintain it. I'm going to do more threshold runs at shorter distances to get used to holding a quicker pace.- Surly #Stonks

The Optimus bots are going to be a bigger flop than the Incel Camino. GTFOHWTBS- Ski Season 2025/2026
Indeed it does. My sons have been leaning on me hard to book something so I was really looking for any hopium I could find.- Ski Season 2025/2026
I took the plunge on President's day weekend at Steamboat today. Here's to hoping the stormier pattern materializes before then...

Mega oof. I'd be real curious to see the contract between Conoco and Doyon. The Operator is responsible for the rig during mobilization/de-mob in a typical IADC contract, but I bet on a rig that expensive they use their own form. Either way, someone's insurers are eating a massive shit sandwich this week. The dayrate on that rig has to be in the ballpark of a deepwater rig since they can only drill up there during the winter. - Ski Season 2025/2026
