    Has Dan BongoDingoAteMyBaby ever gone one minute without referencing his previous role as a federal cop?

    I just watched Doug Emhoff on Kimmel. He's been hidden behind the scenes during the Biden Presidency, for good reasons, but holy shit it's nice to see normal, decent, smart, funny human beings supporting our elected officials. Not that Vance's wife is a psycho (narrator: she is) or that Melania Trump is disinterested, pissed off, and AWOL (narrator: she is). Between Harris, Walz, and their spouses I am supremely confident that our country will be in good hands if the vote just gets out.

    Vance is correct. School shootings are a fact of life. The question is, what will we do about them?

    I'd like to know where that kid hid his gun before blowing away 4 innocent people and injuring 9 others. We know he was in class, got up, and left. Did he hide the gun in the school? What "security" measures would have prevented that? Are they going to TSA-search every student upon entry? Really? Has Vance ever been anywhere near a middle school or high school when first bell is about to ring?

    I'll take that bet, but loser donates to the winner's charity of choice? I pick Mobile Loaves & Fishes.

    Tangential, but funny: we had a HS classmate who was a damn genius. He never did his homework. Our Calculus teacher would ask kids to put homework problems up on the board, and when it was his turn he would just bring the textbook up and solve the problem (correctly) in real time. He's now a Chemical Engineering prof at U-Wisconsin.

    I'm watching the game at my brother-in-law's house Saturday. Forecast is ominous, I'm bringing hot chocolate. Brrr.

    I mean, you gotta respect: Is that roughly like Timpson winning UIL 2A?

    Huh. Not sure how you pulled that off, when I've ordered for curbside it seems it's always been limited to items in stock at that store. What is this wizardy?

    You can "power soak" pintos and get them to the pre-cook stage. Bring them to a boil in a pot, hold for a couple of minutes, turn off the heat, and an hour later they're basically where they would have been soaking overnight. Proceed with your recipe.

    That's actually a great price. EDIT: oh wait, they're smaller jars, still . . .

    I don't remember where you live, but HEB on Far West (78731) shows these in stock.

    I'm confused, didn't A&M land the best 'crooting class EVER just a few years back? What happened to all those players, some of whom were presumably "African-American"?

    I think that's my high school guidance counselor.

    At least 67 years of Aggie nutbaggery, and they're proud of it.

    6 years of education implies a master's degree. Is there any state in which one must even have a bachelor's degree to work in daycare?

    A ham hock would send charro beans over the top. Do it!
  20. jimmyjazz
    No, I don't soak them when I do the 8 hour crock pot cook. I seem to recall it working for black beans as well, but we don't tend to cook those as they aren't as popular in our family. (I like them, but it's not worth the effort, so when I want some I just crack open a can from HEB.)

    Well, I report directly to the CEO and he sees it; plus, I am far happier working at home. I go into the office M & F simply because it's important to get face-to-face time with peers, even though we're all very good at communicating via email.
  22. jimmyjazz
    That's hilarious. I am EXACTLY the opposite. I only go to the office two days a week and I am way more productive than I used to be as a M-F guy. Now I'm happy to work 6-7 days, not all full time but I log at least 60 hrs per week. That commute crushed my soul, and it was only 10 miles or so. I'm just way more productive at home. Takeaway: different strokes, different folks.
  23. jimmyjazz
    You take my point but argue against it. Gotcha.

    I care about suicide. My wife's nephew committed suicide, with a gun. I don't think they should be "counted" in violent gun deaths, though. Sure, I suppose no access to guns might prevent SOME suicides, but a person suffering that type of depression will likely find another way. Not always, though. I also care about murder. Increase your "assault rifle" metric by 2X-3X and it starts to look a lot more ominous.

    Trump will say the election was stolen by the end of week, and all will be forgiven.
