  1. Man, for the sake of a lot of posters here, I hope Hank Scorpio doesn’t start posting in this thread. Some you guys need to drop a gummy or a Xanax.
  2. This is my regular reminder that prior to 2007, DST started three weeks later in the spring and ended a week earlier in the fall. That’s why it feels so much more painful: the transitions were much less dramatic from a light perspective. You can thank Ed Markey for the change, it was his big idea to save energy.
  3. That’s a serious conversation in our family rn.
  4. Boy #2 is often his house’s sober monitor and he says it’s an absolute shit show on weekends. Most of the frats are in some form of self or university imposed ban. America’s young men are not well. At all.
  5. My son says the frats at Oregon are fucking intolerable rn.
  6. Sushi isn’t wrong that there is a self sorting migration going on. The NYT has an article on it today. I could see it potentially being an issue in NV and AZ, but it’s also helping Dems in bluing up WI, MI, and PA. A bunch of hard Red retirees moving to Florida doesn’t really help them at this point.
  7. He’s also tapped out from a crowd perspective in the swings, either due to over saturation, lack of enthusiasm, or nobody will let him use an indoor arena on spec. Or a combination of all three. He needs his ego fed and NM will give him a quick high that he can’t get anymore in swing states.
  8. I’m on East Coast time, maybe somebody could drop a link?
  9. 30 seconds after that: Clear History, close browser.
  10. Nate Silver is a 1.5 hit wonder who has devolved into a degenerate gambler. He is right about one thing: we don’t know shit about fuck.
  11. Buncha boomer and GenX men obsessing about a character actress from Parks and Rec….Also our queen.
  12. I know you actually follow cricket, so props to you, Sir.
  13. JFC, I'm going to need rest and gatorade at this point.
  14. This is the flip to my dark post above about low propensity voters turning out: What if, instead, the media, bitten twice by narratives that Trump overperformed his polling, is intentionally downplaying her competitiveness, both to avoid being pantsed again, and for commercial reasons ("THEY ARE NECK AND NECK DOWN THE STRETCH, FOLKS, STAY TUNED IN!!!"). Instead, women and late decideing indies break heavily towards Harris, because Dobbs and autocracy blows, and the whole thing ends up being a bit of a laugher for Harris.
  15. This. If he pulls it off, then he'll win in a landslide, and we will have a new world order. And we all need to be prepared for that. That's my moment of darkness for today.
  16. In general, I have a long standing position that except in cases where biologist led population control is necessary, I don't think you should be allowed to use weapons to kill predators above you on the food chain. It's messing with god's law.
  17. Somebody recycle the airplane story and let's just get it out of the way.
  18. Uh, I was also under the impression that assuming you could isolate a domestic product from an increase in prices due to foriegn inputs (which is virtually impossible in our modern global trade based world)...classic economics (as well as real world examples) suggest that domestic producers will not forgo the ability to generate extra profits by also raising prices to tariff inflated prices (or just below). Why would I sell you a MADE IN THE USA widget at a 20% discount from my foriegn made competitor when there is a guaranteed government profit cushion?
  19. Love to snack on kitty. Wait, what are we talking about?
  20. Um...I'm not getting any work done. Duh. I have two agency Requests for Information I'm supposed be drafting before my General Counsel goes on vacation and let me sum up how it's going:
