  1. Fighting over PRONG HORN, that's smart.
  2. Yeah but volleyball players are more useful to the nation as an October.....SURPRISE!
  3. And how exactly does Israel, a nation of fewer than 10 million that is already fighting in two locations, take out a nation of 90 million people that is 2 countries away? Obviously, Isael could do some serious damage to the military of Iran and set them back, but they aren't taking them out.
  4. Still early of course
  5. I like how we're expecting the worst tonight just because we aren't going against Trump in the debate. There's something so comforting about seeing Kamala coming out to shake Trump's hand knowing before it even started that he was going to get blitzed.
  6. Oct. 1, 2024, 1:04 p.m. ETJust now Farnaz Fassihi United Nations bureau chief Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement that Iran had launched ballistic missiles on Israel in response to the recent Israeli assassinations of several Hezbollah leaders, including the group's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah. It said it would launch more attacks if Iran was attacked.
  7. I don't remember what thread it was but for the person asking why Iran did this and how the ME world still fell for it.
  8. Updates from NYT Patrick Kingsley Oct. 1, 2024, 12:55 p.m. ET3 minutes ago Patrick KingsleyReporting from Jerusalem The time it appeared to take for the first missiles to reach Israel — under 15 minutes — suggests these were ballistic missiles. Patrick Kingsley Oct. 1, 2024, 12:52 p.m. ET6 minutes ago Patrick KingsleyReporting from Jerusalem Here in Jerusalem, we hear a third round of sirens and overhead explosions, possibly indicating interceptions of missiles by Israel’s air defense system. Israel launches invasion into Lebanon It was not immediately clear where the Israeli military was operating in Lebanon, but Israel ordered residents of many southern towns to move north.

They reviewed U.S. plans to help Israel defend against the attacks and protect Americans in the region. Liam Stack Oct. 1, 2024, 12:45 p.m. ET13 minutes ago Liam Stack Flashes of light from the arcing interceptors of Israel’s air defense system can be seen in the sky over Tel Aviv. I saw at least one — I do not know from what — shoot across the sky. It looks like it may have crashed into the sea. Aaron Boxerman Oct. 1, 2024, 12:43 p.m. ET15 minutes ago Aaron BoxermanReporting from Jerusalem Distant explosions are heard in the skies over Jerusalem. It was unclear where the booms are coming from. Aaron Boxerman Oct. 1, 2024, 12:33 p.m. ET24 minutes ago Aaron BoxermanReporting from Jerusalem The Israeli military said in a statement that missiles were launched at Israel from Iran. Air raid sirens sound across much of Israel.
  9. Just to make y'all feel old, HW and I'm already 35.
  10. Nah, Iran has to do something to save some sort of face so they telegraph this shit so it doesn't get to that point.
  11. Except JFK is still alive and turned 100 in 2017, don't listen to the MSM.
  12. Until he holds out for a national hotdish law.
  13. Communist consumables don't have brands.
  14. The start of the NYT OpEd Board piece on endorsing Harris pretty much sums it all up:
  15. Yeah, they are annoying about Biden/Harris more often than they should be (and NYT pitchbot is hilarious) but the overwhelming majority of coverage is anti-Trump and calling him out for his bullshit. Maybe I'm old school, but the newspaper of record should be questioning things like Biden's mental faculties after the first debate. Hell, we're his biggest fans on here and we were questioning it.
  16. Come on now. I'm a daily Times reader and while they are incredibly frustrating in trying to "well, both sides" arguments from time to time, there was no doubt they were going to endorse Harris over Trump.
  17. I stumbled upon Taqueria Charly #2 after a concert a few weeks back by accident and the trompo was fantastic.
  18. So, I posted this in the general video game thread, but it really needs its own thread as its really taking the games journalism world by storm (not sure sales are matching yet). UFO 50 is a game that came out last week after being in development since 2017 where they are pretending to be a compilation of 50 games from a fictious video game system that came out in the 8-bit era. This isn't your typical 50 game pack with 50 crappy games, but rather 50 high quality NES style games. Now not every single one of them is Zelda or Super Mario perfection, but every one of them is interesting to some degree and there are a few absolute stars. They are listed chronological starting in 1984 going to 1989 with there being a lore that follows many of the games and a special idle game that sits near the end that relies somewhat on what you do in the other games. It plays great on the Steam Deck, but I'm now remembering just how brutally hard games from that era were compared to today. It's only on PC right now, but will be ported to consoles at some point in the future. It's only $25 out there on Steam (I got it for $22 on there yesterday) so the $$$ to fun ratio is crazy good. This one is going to be super popular in the GoTY discussions with places like Jeff Gertsmann, Nextlander, Giantbomb. Here's Jeff Gerstmann sampling a few:

  19. Yeah, I still don't have $346.14

    Burgers

    Heading over to the flea at Uncommon Objects on Sunday and really wanting a good sit-down spot for some burger and beer, but without a wait. Any suggestions? I don't really care what part of town.
