    I saw a couple around 1:30 AM, but after 10 minutes the wind (combined with 40 degree temps) got to me. I could have bundled up more but it was bedtime anyway.

    I'm torn on this. It could be helpful for the state IMHO but at the same time I hate the likely backer(s) of this. Would we have a gaming commission to provide vigorous oversight and make sure they run an honest game that's fair to the player? (Of course not, it's Texas and we don't believe in regulation.)

    is there any mechanism by which Paxton can be reprimanded or censured for filing such a frivolous, destructive, and meritless action with the SC? Don't the ABA and/or the Texas State Bar have professional and ethical codes of conduct? For example, in the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, rule 8.04, Misconduct, paragraph (a)(3) states: "A lawyer shall not...engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation."

    Starting Jan. 1, it will say Paper Jam even though there is no paper jam. Kidding aside, I wouldn't put it past these evil printer-manufacturing fucks to code in a "Logan's Run" killdate on their products even when they are otherwise functional.

    If you can't line up on first and goal from the 1 and just pound it in, you can't even call yourself an NFL Football Team. Also why the fuck does Zeke run at the biggest pile of bodies he can find, instead of bouncing it outside or something CHRIST

    Thanks, looks like some areas are getting it over Fox, but not Austin. DirecTV says they will carry on ch. 712.

    Only (very) tangentially Cowboys-related, but it is NFC East related--is the Washington-Pittsburgh game this afternoon carried on any major channels or networks? My listings don't show any football.

    Is Major Applewhite still available?

    I remember one from the early '90s called called Global Jungle, that aired stuff like the Dwyer clip and clips of bands like Skinny Puppy and Ministry.

    Today's TV coverage of racing accidents is extremely cautious and controlled, compared to what I grew up watching in the late '70s and '80s. Back then, when there was a bad crash at a place like Indy, the TV coverage would practically zoom in to get a good shot of the driver's limp, twitching body. And they'd cover the extrication and rescue efforts live. I think the first racing death I really saw and understood was Gordon Smiley's. It's on youtube, but don't watch unless you want to see someone die.

    This fucking team is shit. Home game, Thanksgiving. Playing against probably your biggest rival, with a chance to take command (such as it is) of the division. And you just played like complete shit. Congrats.

    My plan is beer, pizza and football.

    Watching this team is such a fucking slow beating

    You don't need MCAS, you just need pilots with balls of steel like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2CsO-Vu7oc

    The chart at this link shows deaths in the USA over the last several years. There is a definite seasonal trend; in the summertime it looks like the average weekly death rate is very roughly 51,000. In the winter it increases to very roughly 60,000. (That's looking at the pre-COVID years---you can clearly see that the numbers are worse after COVID.) https://public.tableau.com/views/COVID_excess_mort_withcauses_11042020/WeeklyExcessDeaths?:embed=y&:jsdebug=y&:toolbar=n&:tabs=n&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

    Glad to hear you're doing better. Keep it going and don't get discouraged!

    I never thought Trump's Wall would actually get built, but there it is.

    As is often noted in game threads, we rarely see Herman confront the officials much during a game. After games like this, I hope the football program at least sends a tape and/or protest letter to the Big 12 office after each game, documenting the bad calls.

    They have a "Contact Us" section of their website that allows users to send in questions. I have some questions. http://woodfilllaw.com/contact-us/

    Couple of yellow-dog Democrats.

    With small scuffs, I've sometimes had luck working the area with a clay bar and lubricant. But nothing as big as the area you've got there.

    Just gonna point out that on this graph, the Y-axis baseline level of crazy is 4.

    Pic stolen from another board but it seems to fit tonight's quality of play:

    I lurk on some A/V forums and it seems to me that many or most new "smart" TVs require an inordinate amount of updates and fixes before they really work properly in all respects. I liked it better when consumer products were fully tested before release and didn't need constant updates and patches. I have a Panasonic plasma TV from 2005 that worked great out of the box (and still does, mostly) and I've never needed to update it or reboot it or reset it. TVs now are more like a whole damn multimedia computer.
