  1. Your dry cleaner is just hanging your dirty clothes and handing them back to you
  2. Totally. It’s funny that he could have remained in obscurity nationally for decades and yet an unplanned ascension (short lived most likely) to leader will end up ruining him
  3. Tourney was 35ish players, 3 getting a ticket to main event and 4th getting $1100. Down to final table of 9, I started as shortest stack with 22k at 500/1k/1k, but the disparity on the table wasn’t large. One guy had 100k but most of the table was in the 30-50k range so no worries. At 7 handed and blinds of 1k/1.5k/1.5k I had worked my stack up to 50k when I get KQo in HJ. I open to 3500. Old man tourney reg on button makes a hesitant call, BB competes. 13k pot A87 rainbow. BB checks and I cbet 5k. BTN again makes a hesitant call. BB folds. 23k pot 7. I check and BTN pretty quickly checks back. A. I check and he snap throws three 5k chips for 15k bet into 23k pot. Why? What story is he telling? I actually laughed while thinking through this one and finding pretty much 0 non-bluffs he’d do this with. I call and he slams down 66 angry that he got counterfeited I pretty much coasted in from there
  4. Won my satellite on first try
  5. Seriously. She looks terrible
  6. Chugging along myself. 1.5 lbs week is fairly easy compared to 2 lbs so I hardly ever even use the elliptical anymore. Currently bouncing around 196 which is 70lbs off my starting weight 14 months ago. Some sick part of me wants to touch -100 lbs but that may not be wise. I’d guess I only have 15-20lbs of reasonable fat left to lose and hope to get there by Feb/Mar. I bought a Medium Tall golf shirt last week and it fits great. Medium! So bizarre for a guy whose self identity was always the “big guy” in the room. Also comfortably getting into 34” shorts and looking at tapered pants! Good times
  7. This is a terribly named thread…
  8. We have a fairly active thread on streaming tv options Cord Cutters Thread https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/457-cord-cutters-thread/page/58/#comment-5634760
  9. I don't believe the minority republicans could stop it alone. However, it would be difficult to win the nomination from the caucus in the first place if they knew of your plan to solicit Dem votes. You'd have to be sneaky about it. ETA: and even then you have to deal with the MTV rule that still allows Gates to tank the speakership all over again
  10. It's been discussed by the talking heads a few times that the house republican caucus is leaving it up to the nominee regarding when he wants to take the vote to the floor. Some have wanted to try to find votes first, while others wanted to go right to the floor to force public votes one way or the other.

    HOLY SHIT!! Portnoy returns to DT https://dreamtheater.net/dream-theater-announce-the-return-of-drummer-mike-portnoy/

  13. Hurt peoples careers?!?! FUCK that guy!
  14. Getting all aspects of truthful accounts about what happened behind the scenes has quite a bit of value for the country IMO. I know the cult members won’t hear it, or care if they do, but the historical record on this whole circus will need to be studied and understood for generations to come and these pleas will be pretty solid content for that.
  15. Good thing I practiced for it…
  16. Meant to tell you that threads recommend your account to me about a week ago
  17. Pro tip: to maximize your focus training, hit the range while the Blue Angels practice
  18. This is my impression. If you have nothing to hide, let the other party continue to expose it.
  19. Press and hold on a thread with multiple mentions like the one below and you can quickly follow everyone mentioned. Very nice for follow Friday posts https://www.threads.net/@aaronparnas/post/CwqXVfFupat/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
  20. Surnames starting with B are grossly over represented on the House floor.
  21. I was wondering why we needed speeches again, but I’m glad Pete Aguilar was able to give this one
  22. They’ve started the MUG wait list 3+ weeks in advance and it’s already 60 deep. It’s going to be a cluster
