  1. You got me to look him up -- I had no idea, but he's a pretty successful songwriter, with a lot of big hits written for other singers (and a few for himself).
  2. Not sure. They'd have to go to a kitchen or at least be pre-cooked, at least for a good chunk of those affected.
  3. You're a fucking lunatic, and apparently so is your wife. We feed the hungry, full stop. We don't adminster a purity test for them to qualify. Take it OUT of the realm of religion: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". THAT'S America. I'm not saying we don't fight, if you point a gun at me I'll pull my trigger, but that's a different thing entirely. In short, you've been sniffing your own farts for so long on surly that you've gone completely around the bend. Good luck with that.
  4. Your wife is allegedly a Presbyterian minister. Pardon me if I presume she doesn't agree with your barbaric perspective.
  5. Well, SNAP appears to be on life support, but no, I'm not going to stand idly by and let innocent people starve. Screw that. I can't give much but I've been giving.
  6. My son gave me a rice cooker when I started having to make custom food for our aging dog (RIP, Gumbo). I admit, I was skeptical, and it doesn't make BETTER rice that a pot on the stove, but it's super easy to use and really consistent.
  7. I figure it's gonna hurt me at some level. (Already has.) If it hurts those morons who voted for Trump more? Oh well, FAFO. We warned you.
  8. I try to think of these things in terms of management (a role I tend to despise). If someone who reported to me had fucked up at the Four Seasons level they would be fired by phone before they got back to the office. In this administration? Just another day.
  9. It's so damn sad. Cornell is one of the great American universities, especially in STEM. They should be beyond the reach of political machinations. Here we are.
  10. Cornell falls in line. Let me guess, the $60M goes straight to Trump. Cornell pays $60M to restore federal funding
  11. Would it matter? The "access" they have now is worthless.
  12. Not too far off the mark.
  13. Rural New Jersey is some of the most beautiful countryside in the United States. It's not one giant Newark.
  14. Feels Snider-esque:
  15. We still go there. Quality fluctuates a bit but it's never been even close to average, and what restaurant doesn't have some variablity? I don't get the "pricey" argument, either. Yeah, it's not a mom 'n pop TexMex joint. It's a beautiful restaurant in a part of town that doesn't have many of those, and for $25-$35 an entree you can get all kinds of delicous food. I think every Austinite should go there once and judge for themselves.
  16. In my prior life I co-developed, designed and manufactured large energy storage M/G/FW devices. The housings were cast iron, many inches thick. It took a lot of trial and error to dial in the tolerancing, draft angles, chimney locations etc. Those cast iron shops have so much experience, we never could have come up with those processes on our own. Here's a photo of one device with half the housing in place:
  17. Uh, no. You do you.
  18. That was some comment. I'm sure it was our fault the ball spin reversed and the ball went out of bounds. Come on, Bilas.
  19. No idea, 5C, 38DD, something something
  20. You have zero evidence to back that up.
