  1. Not Twitter, Tesla - it looks like there is a BOD. https://ir.tesla.com/corporate
  2. Is it possible for the Tesla BOD to remove him as CEO? If not, then it seems like they are going to continue to get falcon punched as well due to his antics. I knew Twitter was going to be a dumpster fire after him taking over, but this thing is spiraling quicker than I thought it would.
  3. Yea, you're missing out. I was sort of in the same boat as you ~10 years ago and was still playing with the 845s that I used for High School tournaments. I got a set of Titleist AP2s and it made a world of difference. More distance, more spin, more feel, etc. I'm pretty close to wanting to move to something more forgiving, but these still feel so damn good when you flush one. If you've been playing with those since ~1990, then yea, shit has changed in 32 years. A bunch. You should find a way to go bang around some of the latest tech and see for yourself.
  4. I got all 14 re-gripped on Saturday while watching football in the garage. Everything went smoothly, but getting all of the old tape off was a PITA and took longer than I thought it would. They look and feel great though. I think I'm really going to like the thicker grips. I'm playing in a 2 day Stableford deal at Whispering Pines starting tomorrow. Maybe these new grips will keep me from losing quite as many balls this time around. I doubt it.
  5. This dude is coming apart at the seams right in front of our eyes.
  6. Is that for scraping off the old tape? I've got a workbench with a vise at one end of it and bought a kit with tape/solvent/cutter. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is getting the grips lined up properly so they don't mindfuck me at setup if they are a little off kilter. All the grips I've put on in the past were wraps were that didn't matter as much. Thank you for the tips!
  7. I ended up going with these, bought them at a golf store in Dallas but will have to put them on myself. I've done it before with no problems but will need to watch a few videos to make sure I don't forget anything. I really like the way they felt and from everything I read they should last for a long time too.
  8. What kind of grips do you guys prefer? I haven't re-gripped mine in ages and am looking around on Amazon for options. I know Winn makes nice stuff, but $105 for 13 grips seems a little crazy. Champkey looks similar. Anyone familiar with those? ETA - Golf Pride gets a lot of love too but are even more expensive than the Winn - more like $175 for 13.
  9. Well, at least he bought it at the top. So he's got that going for him....which is nice.
  10. He only has to sell 50,000,000 blue checks to recoup each $1B. (if each sub is 100% margin) .... I'm no mathematician, but I don't think he's going to do "just fine."
  11. I think this is spot on. The GQP trolls live for Lib tears. That's why the other scat sites like Gab, Parler, Truth, etc. don't ever take off - there are no libs to troll. It won't take too long at this rate for the libs to leave Twitter and then the far right trolls will have no one to troll. Twitter will bleed out while Elon and his creditors lose a metric fuckton of money. Yay!
  12. I haven't been pretending shit, thank you very much.
  13. Gosh, things are so scary and dangerous in Texas. The people in charge (for the last 27 years) are doing a fantastic job and I absolutely must continue to vote for them!
  14. Phew, surgery was last Thursday and today was the first day I could get out of bed without significant pain. It's not the vasectomy at all though, but rather the two large incisions on my lower abdomen made to repair the hernias. I've been up and moving around some the last 2 days, but doing anything that engaged ab muscles hurts like a bastard. When I do move around I do it very slowly but yesterday I took one step too quickly down a little stair and felt something pull - thought I was going to pass out for a second. Fuck surgery.
  15. I don't get this one. Maybe I just skipped class too much, but I don't think I ever had a single professor at UT bring up politics during class. I do remember the speaker at my commencement address talking about the foolishness of the war in Iraq, but that's it.
  16. I know it gets lobbed around quite a bit, but I'm not sure it's ever been more apt - DIAF you fat fuck. I don't know how much they'll actually squeeze out of him, but it won't be fun for him no matter what.
  17. j/k

  19. I'm having two hernias repaired on Thursday and asked the surgeon during my consult if he could give me a snip at the same time he's in there for the hernias. He said it's no problem and is actually less intrusive to go in through the top rather than the bottom since he's already making incisions there. So I'll be knocked out for this one but plan to be pretty f'n sore for a while afterwards.
  20. He scared.
  21. Fair point. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the location, but that these same people were running over Chick's CDs with tractors when they had the gall to question the merits of Shrub's buildup to the invasion of Iraq. They are really going to go take in a show ~20 years later and be surprised/pissed they are liberal?
  22. Absolutely. Parts of the grumbling I picked up were in that vein - "I just want to hear the music!" "Why does she have to politicize this?" Had he been at a Nugent show and Nuge started talmbout Let's Go Brandon and Trump Really Won then this asshat would have been masturbating furiously. Whatever. The Chicks are one of my wife's favorite bands and this was my birthday present to her. The trumpaloo behind me riled me up for a few seconds before I realized that's what he wanted and then I tuned him out. It was a kick ass show that included The Pride of Lubbock Texas - Lloyd Maines on the steel guitar.
  23. I was sitting down in front of the person filming when Natalie did this. Beto was in the audience and the kerfuffle around him was what sparked this. I was a little surprised at how many mouth breathers were there booing Beto and her when she said this. Like, do you even know who the Chicks are? If you're too much of a snowflake to handle a Beto appearance then you may want to choose a different show to attend. There was a trumpaloo sitting right behind us that was booing and aggressively flipping Beto off when everyone figured out what all the commotion was about. You could tell he was triggered by Beto just being there and he kept grumbling through the whole show. What a fucking loser - letting his mere presence ruin his night.
  24. Just ask your buddy Donald for it Rudy, I'm sure he'll float you a loan after all of the shite you've done for him. Right!? He's got $225k intermingled with the mcdonald's wrappers in the couch cushions at MAR.
