  1. The only gloves manufactured in the US are super-high end gloves costing $300 +++. You can go straight up Nokona and make that $600.
  2. Given that films aren't really shipped though ordinary trade channels I'm not sure how you apply or collect a tariff.
  3. Bahaha national security threat.
  4. But Nesheiwat is a single-specialty doctor who was not able to commission as a military officer; obtained her medical degree outside of the U.S.; became a walk-in-care provider who also sells a health supplement and was for a few years an on-air contributor to Fox News; has apparently not published in any medical or other scientific journals; and has no apparent credentials in public health. Her photos are fraudulent too. She's a heftychonk.
  5. What a load of shit, we are, right now, today, the world champion imprisoners.
  6. That was an interesting place. Spent some time there during round up and completely forgot it existed until my senior year.
  7. Use premium? I may be addicted to 25+ mpg, which is another issue I suppose.
  8. 50hp isn't that much, but tunes are a little scary. It's pretty easy to exceed all kinds of design parameters of the engine.
  9. Maybe they need to be educated. Soros certainly resonated with some people.
  10. Implicit in this is his contempt and utter disregard for people who vote for him. Except the oligarchs and corporate interests of course.
  11. Good question. These suits against bigtech all actually started during Trump I. He's done a fair share of demonizing bigtech.
  12. I love the Broncos, but I wonder how really practical is a 4x4 for a daily driver, even if you make use of it on non-daily excursions. Has Ford sorted the reliability issues on those?
  13. Dallas proper is a safe space. That the burbs are turning I think is seriously positive.
  14. Seems like Democrats really need to hammer whether Texans voted for Tim Dunn, Faris Wilks, and Jeff Yass to run this state or not.
  15. And possibly even more than that, will those who remain passive forget all this shit conveniently. Like they seemed to in 2024.
  16. Also, it occurs to me that some aspects of the agreement in question, because not governing an employee/employer relationship, might be construed more as a non-disclosure agreement, which generally aren't treated as negatively as covenants not to compete.
  17. Yeah, that whole legal profession was super-receptive to the election lies. And is currently about the only thing standing up to Trump bullshit in a meaningful way.
  18. Can't recommend anything specifically, but it's probably worth your while to have a look at trailforks and mtbproject for green and green/blue trails. https://www.trailforks.com/region/austin/trails/ https://www.mtbproject.com/directory/8010446/austin They may not be all that useful at really deciding which trails you want to ride, but they do get you to the trails and help you navigate them some. For actually recording rides, and locating yourself on trails, I have found alltrails to be pretty good. One thing it has that Strava really doesn't is entire loops of trails rather than segments that the speed merchants try to ride at suicidal speed. The Marlin is fine as a starter bike. If you stay committed to riding and enjoy it and want to up your skills and abilities, you can make a more intelligent choice as to a more capable bike later on. Also beware when researching trails that GoPro video of rides significantly flatten actual climbs and descents and could deceive you into trying something you're really not ready for.
  19. Rather than blame DOJ, probably need to look at Congress here. DOJ is pressing an antitrust suit, that doesn't address privacy or data rights directly. It is, by nature, a trailing remedy that reaches a lot of harm after it's done. Based on statutes more than 100 years old. Something like GPDR comes from the lege, which in these United States can't be bothered to do anything that benefits the people at the expense of the donor class.
  20. One (really more than one) factor in the Arkansas rivalry is that things have changed outside of athletics and general university rivalries. Before WWII, Arkansas and Texas were more similar than different, rural agrarians plus oil. But Texas blew up in the post-war economy while Arkansas struggled with a post-rural economy. Thus bred the general jealousy expressed in the university/sports rivalry. But with Walmart and the resurgence of NWA, things are starting to equalize a bit. The rurals that probably fueled aspects of the rivalry are even more marginalized than before. And, of course, UA is full of Texans now.
  21. Yeah, I think apathy and general disengagement has been a major factor and once those (the convinceable middle to me) see things up close and personal, they realize what a traveshamockery it all is.
  22. Haha was just coming to post because IIRC you had expressed interest in a Revel. Going for cheap. https://revelbikes.com/shop-in-stock/?_on_sale=1 If you're a lil fella, or a big un. Some rumors that they may be rescued, but unclear what that's gonna look like.
  23. Of course, these days, what constitutes "shitty schools" varies pretty widely. It's nice that they fell on the not-banning-books side of that equation.
  24. One of my favorite things now is that he claims to be following the advice of "his" lawyers. With the exception of Roy Cohn's extra-legal advice on self-promotion and general ratfucking, he's never followed a lawyer's advice in his life.
