  1. Based on his speech, the Excuse: “De-Nazification” by removing the current democratically elected government.
  2. Innocent people dying in a completely unprovoked, disgusting attack on our democratic ally?
  3. Watch the documentary on the Rescuenif the Thai soccer team. Friggin crazy.
  4. I need two or three tickets together. It’s my diehard longhorn son’s birthday (playing the sympathy card), and the tech fans have driven prices through the roof. I don’t care where the seats are…
  5. All the haters are morons. I don’t care if he’s an asshole, you can’t help but marvel at his innovation. https://www.wsj.com/video/elon-musk-unveils-updated-starship-engine-more-power-lower-costs/EEB998B2-8B6E-445D-B868-9AFEABD4B14C.html?page=1
  6. Remote is awesome but there are some downsides to consider. I say this as someone who went all remote for the pandemic. Switched jobs and now I’m kind of the boss and can do whatever I want, but I find myself in the office 4/5 days. 100% remote just feels weird after awhile. You hardly walk (steps) and I really started to feel the long term impact of being sedentary for 18 months physically and mentally. You are much more expendable. They can replace you with anyone in the country. And it’s a lot easier to lay someone off that you’ve never met or shared a beer with. You kind of feel always on call. I worked crazy hours because of this.

    Have you heard of delta 8?

    Tinnitus

    I went to a loud concert a week ago, but it was a huge arena and the PA was clear so I didn’t shove some paper in my ears like I normally do. Dumb. The ringing lasted two days but my hearing is a little muffled even 8 days later. I can hear everything, it’s just not as crisp. Everything after 40 sucks.
  9. I’m so lubbock that I can remember being star struck when I saw Karen and Abner eating dinner at El Chico’s on 19th/brownfield.
  10. It wasn’t an ass kicking, but it was a good win for tech. If our guys hit some free throws and take some wide open shots instead of passing it off to the less open guy, this is an overtime game.
  11. This hits close to home. I sang Journey covers there in grad school. And fuck lubbock and tech and their trash fans.
  12. I was pissed at the time, but In hindsight, I think it was great for the game and I miss it. They need to quit drug testing and let these guys party.
  13. Palo Duro
  14. Whoever buys this thing is in for a surprise if they ever have a black light near the interior.
  15. Infinitely better: https://tacovilla.net/

    I’m in!
  18. No pasta jar garbage is an 8 unless your reference is shitty homemade sauce that you claim to be a 9. You make a moderate sauce in an hour (call it a 5) that’s good for putting on pizza or a topping for meat. I do that all the time on weekdays. If you want the spaghetti to be the star, you need to spend at least 4 hours on it. Best thing to do is to put it on at lunch and just let it simmer all afternoon. Also, I’ve never had a manufactured meatball that was decent. They all suck. My grandmother taught my wife how to make meatballs but not me, so I have no advice to give on that front. Regarding cheese, there’s no reason to not have a nice hunk of Parmesan in your fridge at all times. I buy mine from Costco because my boys eat a lot. It only takes 1-2 minutes to have fresh graded cheese to compliment the sauce you’ve worked all day on. And don’t get me started on the pasta itself. Buy good organic pasta or make it yourself from scratch. It’s easy and it’s fun. My kids even participate.
  19. Me and the kids knocked out the whole season in 2 days. Damn. I’d say season 4 way better than season 3.
  20. That tram is like 70 years old. I think a bunch of ww2 veterans built it after the war because they wanted to go skiing more easily.
  21. I rode that thing once. It was pretty intimidating in the summer with the swaying from the wind. You can also still see debris from a plane crash during the ride if you ask the operator to point it out.
  22. Bought my wife a new Volvo last week. Was able to get $1000 off sticker and their dealer add-ons thrown in for free. Couldn’t believe how much they gave me for her trade. Worn out brake pads, old tires, cracked windshield, keyed by a homeless guy downtown, dent and scrapes where she ran into the garage door, 80k miles, and a history of oil leaks that they’ve fixed at the dealership. they gave me $24k. I paid $38k four years and 45k miles ago.
  23. I can’t take this shit. It’s so humid. I feel like I live in the shithole that is Orlando or something.
  24. Maybe his period button is wrong.

    Saw them live last night. Incredible show. They kept the groove for 2 hours with just a short break, which was important, because Laura Lee needed to change into her elf outfit. The stage and lighting design was phenomenal. IMG_3364.MOV
