There was a time I wanted to be an architect, but spoke to a couple of successful ones and realized the prospects might not be that good and that there was both an "artistic" element to it, which I probably lack, and the fact that people have to "like" your work. It's not necessarily good enough to be technically competent and that might even be something of a disadvantage. They steered me toward engineering, correctly, I think.

From UT? The B.Arch. is one of the toughest undergrads at UT. It has most of the technical stuff that engineers take in their first two years (producing a 2/3 attrition rate historically), plus essentially studio art classes where you have to produce drawings, with talent. Very time-consuming and rigorous. Can't speak to other schools. But regardless of school, there is licensure. Anyway, I could kind of maybe understand confining student loans to those degrees likely to enable repayment, but this doesn't seem to be that.

Yeah, Newsweek is weird now. It's not an independent publication really, but more of an aggregator like MSN or Yahoo. Most stuff is "reprinted" from some other site, usually referenced. Somewhat surprisingly, though, I haven't seen it reprint much utter bullshit.
-
To equate Sark today with UW Sark, you have to pretty uncritically accept all the rumors. Nicole cued me in on her source and info a while back (Loreal being a whore, basically) and I'll admit it's credible enough to be true, but is still unverified as is most of the other shit spewed on this thread.
-
See, see, even the thread critics make reference to strippers, er, stripped threads. It's twue it's twue.

Kinda with ya there. I ate the shit out of Oscar Meyer bologna as a kid, but also ate Vienna sausages and deviled ham. Now, bologna/mortadella sounds kind of gross to me. I know it's not quite the same and the smoke adds a dimension, but still . . . .

Its pretty close. Closer than anything else you'll find. My jam was the 14 peppered beef. They now use some "ultra premium" variant that has a slight sweet/smoky taste that isn't the same and not as good, IMO. I also don't like the Italian dressing they use quite as much. It's also considerably more expensive. But peppered beef is a bitch to find, so. I really dig "enhanced" beef, corned, pastrami, etc. and NY Sub's original peppered beef, whatever it was, was one of the best I've ever had, to my taste. YMMV.

It is rather astounding that actually somewhat accomplished men like Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick can be such fucking toadies. The Elmos and Bannons and Millers are no real surprise, and the accomplished men of Trump v.1 pretty much are all on record that he's an abject moron and unfit for office. I think this tells you something about billionaires.

Sausages! Very well done and acted. Did almost seem they rushed the end after the rather excruciating detail on Garfield's election and dismantling the Conkling machine.

A $200 or $300 premium for the Trump version. https://www.bondarms.com/www.bondarms.com/Stinger-P8525.aspx Being in Granbury and 2A oriented, they're probably Trumpy as fuck. But also may be a brilliant grift that we failed to take advantage of.

Fort Worth phone number. Perfecto.

I mean, there is Project 2025, but Trump ran from that on the campaign trail, lying all the way, and it mostly seems pretty unpopular except for the fact that Trump's doing it. I agree though that it is going to be really hard for them to replicate Trump and secure his base.
-
The thing that's infuriating about all that is that it is clear that Russia has done many things to promote Trump and American discord, with or without Trump's knowledge or consent (it was with but will probably never be proven). The Carter Page thing was a huge fuckup, but well within FBI apolitical shittiness norms (like most LEO, their zeal to get their man often results in civil rights violations, at best). And the Steele Dossier is a massive red herring. Unfortunately, those two things provide just enough taint to give Trump talking, or screaming, points.
-
Comey's a dick, no question about it. But, there are two, mostly unrelated, things driving Trump's animus. One is a failure to indict Hildawg for "butter emails," which wasn't Comey's call in the first place and should never have been. But I think the real animus here is Russia, Russia, Russia. And Comey's criticism of him. And both of those ignore the huge favor Comey did by going public with the WIener shit. This is a pretty good piece from Lawfare. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/comey--james--and--animus-through-a-megaphone Although its primary topic is vindictive prosecution, it goes into some detail about the quality of the charges notwithstanding animus, particularly as relates to Letitia James.
-
Yep. There's a good argument that that statement is literally true, unless it could somehow be proven that Comey didn't "stand by" his previous testimony. The government wants to treat that as repeating false testimony that was outside limitations within limitations. But it's going to be hard for the government to prove his 2017 testimony was false.
