  1. Liar liar pants on fire. For clarity, China bought 14.1 million metric tons more during the Biden Administration than during Trump I, mostly because of Trump, See 2018.
  2. I guess I have to give myself an incomplete. I hated cassettes, except for making "mixtapes." The thing we or I did with cassettes mostly was tape songs off the radio or make compilations from LPs. I quickly became familiar with their deteriorating fidelity and mechanical finickyness and wasn't about to pay for a cassette if an LP was available. I do recall buying a cassette of Big Audio Dynamite II's The Globe album because they were out of CDs. I don't think I ever paid for a download and surely have no idea what was first. In my defense, I tended to download things I already owned for use on an mp3 player.
  3. And, there's a pretty decent likelihood that all the tariff revenue goes poof in the next few months.
  4. They talk about TP as if it's the Boy Scouts or MYF or something. For fuck's sake it's a political organization. That's the other thing about Kirk, he was nothing more than a politico and a lightweight at that. Not even a George Will or Wm. F. Buckley. Also, I think there are 1A problems with this. Big-time, bro.
  5. Well the part about sinking stateless ships is an overstatement, if not flat wrong. Such vessels can be boarded and seized, which doesn't usually invoke sinking. And,, your Whaler is probably state-registered, so it's not stateless. Stateless ships usually present a different problem because the nation of registry provides the law for a lot of aspects of the crew, like wage/hour, human rights, etc. But it is true that unregistered ships sometimes get used for nefarious purposes.
  6. A few cheeseburgers and bowls of fettuccine Alfredo.
  7. Correct. The Netflix deal leaves out the "linear TV" portion of WB, which would be spun out as a separate company and shareholders retain equity in that. So it sort of boils down to is that remnant worth $18Bn?
  8. The story indicates that the Cinnabon bitch had a comment about her hijab.
  9. As a teen, discounting novelty records like CW McCall's Convoy, I think this:
  10. Because you're privileged, racist and a supremacist, Dennis. Put your cross away, hypocrite.
  11. She no speaky engly. Someone call ICE!
  12. This assumes she wasn't grinding on the door knob in the first place.
  13. It's becoming increasingly clear that even if Trump pulled off a third term, legally, he'll be wholly incapable of carrying out the office or even campaigning, if he's even alive. And it's also becoming clear that there is no succession plan. Although it's likely to be kind of hilarious, it is probably also a very dangerous time.
  14. Despite things like Lucas electrical and Armstrong-Whitworth threads, the Brits are really good engineers.
  15. One thing that cracks me up (not really of the laughing kind), is the MAGA saw: "But Ukraine is corrupt!" Okey dokey, so that just legitimizes the most corrupt country on earth invading them? Like Russia is going to fix that?
  16. And both coaches are leaving/have left.
  17. Missed that one, but not this one. UNITED STATES v. 11¼ DOZEN PACKAGES OF ARTICLE LABELED IN PART MRS. MOFFAT'S SHOO FLY POWDERS FOR DRUNKENNESS
  18. At the oath ceremony. So. Fucked. Up.
  19. I loved Homicide Life On The Streets back in the day, so I was down with The Wire from git. But still, from Season 1 alone, it seems like a cop drama. And, for most of us expecting that to continue in Season 2, it was something of a shock. But then it starts to come together. Or apart.
  20. The ouroboros of ratfucking suck.
  21. It is but it isn't. It's basically all bullshit outside the top 4-6.
  22. Sark certainly did. Whoops. Hope he learns from it.
  23. Yeah, that whole "fantasy" thing isn't really my deal, so I resisted. But the first 4-5 seasons will really drag you in.
  24. Props for "donkey show."
  25. Of an NGO type thing dedicated to revitalizing coal country without coal mining. He's one of the good guys.
