  1. I’m not saying I respect it but it’s as close as I come to doing that
  2. First thing I do when I come downstairs in the morning is stick the pan on the burner on about medium heat. Pack backpacks, lunch, pour coffee, slice bananas, prepare french toast, etc before I put a half tbsp of butter on the pan where it melts quickly and bubbles gently. Drop the eggs or whatever it is in and let it sit for a minute before fucking with it. I do like cooking on the comal because low sides makes it easy to work with the spatula I think most decent quality nonstick pans are comparable and none of them last for more than a couple of years. Don’t break the bank on them and replace them when they’re old or your wife superheats them empty.
  3. If a plane crashes in the middle of a forest and nobody is listening to Ana smartly explaining what the problem is not related to, will terminally offline voters connect it with the government shutdown that is already impacting their daily lives?
  4. Do you think this is an indictment against pedophile rapists and the entire child sex trafficking ring in general, or are voters simply upset that under this GOP government they are now feeding their children leaves (and what about when winter comes)?
  5. 2horn live cam An 18 wheeler full of high school band instruments getting pancaked by a locomotive is such incredible I Think You Should Leave material.
  6. I am kinda shocked. I really thought the maga folks were going to grab those board seats. But even our little town, clean sweep.
  7. Alright, here's my micro somewhat interesting local race Wake Forest, NC - erstwhile small town (and once but no longer home to the university, who moved out in the 50s and left the campus to the Southeast Baptist Seminary) and now rapidly growing suburb of Raleigh. Mayor Vivian Jones has been mayor since 1999 when the town was probably 1/4 the size it is now. I'm not sure what her politics are exactly, but she's very old guard anti change and caused a bit of a kerfuffle when rescinded the town proclamation of Pride Month. There is an organization that promotes LGBTQ pride/safety/etc which is nice in what could easily be described as the Round Rock of Raleigh. Apparently, the seminary pressured Jones to rescind the proclamation, which she did, and managed to piss everyone off in the process. https://indyweek.com/newsletter/seminary-leaders-urged-wake-forest-mayor-to-drop-pride-month-proclamation/ Ben Clapsaddle is an ex military democrat who... I don't know that much, but he seems solid, he's the dem candidate. Meanwhile in the board of commissioners, Pam Jones and Thomas Dement are running together, they have some outside money and a lot of signs that look well designed and don't try to tell the story that is made clear by their respective haircuts Sliwinski (R) and Shackleford (D) are both incumbents, I'm not sure who Zavala is really but Haseeb Fatmi is a progressive. https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=11/04/2025&county_id=92&office=ALL&contest=920022 https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=11/04/2025&county_id=92&office=ALL&contest=920023 Things are looking good for Clapsaddle and the two D commisioners right now, but very early.
  8. Why does sliwas wife let him wear that hat
  9. Yeah I’m glad everyone is ok, I hope everything is well insured, it must be. Feel bad for all the kids with strads and selmers and whatever else who are going to have to head to heart of Texas and slum it on a rental for a bit.
  10. I’m not a big “my tax dollars” dude but I’m tired of twin tower avatar people in the town Facebook complaining about not being able to vote for mayor just because they don’t live in the town limits.
  11. https://www.reddit.com/r/marchingband/s/ayqRdunKHe apparently a bunch of bands (Flower Mound, Reagan, probably others) lent gear so that the kids could still perform. They got 3rd.
  12. I went to vote, just town mayor and a couple of commissioners on my ballot. Two MAGA running for commissioner including one j6er, so I wanted to make sure I adhered to my pledge to vote against those fuckers at every possible opportunity for the rest of my life. I guess small town/growing suburb elections will be this way but it was a very 65+ crowd, I’m not optimistic. Especially because the more left leaning candidate has an Indian name. surely Mamdani wins?
  13. Me, trumpy, spII, and who else went to see them at…. Mohawk? Slick Mahoney in a rover for sure. MAYBE with a car seat
  14. My highly likely dunning Kruger influenced opinion based on making French toast and fried eggs in my not-very-old lodge comal every single morning is that none of this matters much if you have a bit of butter, the right temp, and a metal spatula.
  15. Oh I had seen a story about him being assaulted and badly injured, cancelling the tour. Kicked out of the hospital and arrested, guessing this behavior and getting assaulted outside a hotel might be..
  16. More important wisdom from REK (and I always love trying to guess the number of the Martin - I got it this time!)
  17. I’ve seen Lily Allen’s name pop up a few times recently, so I think she must have an album out. Her dad is some kind of famous Brit and her brother is Reek. The guy from The Strokes - his dad was some old creep. I keep wanting to say Djo but I’m just thinking about his on screen girlfriend being Ethan/Uma’s kid.
  18. Did Jason and the Scorchers have a steel guitar?
  19. I always like overperforming nerd schools. I know that it’s not like the football guys are on campus doing Real Genius shit but the idea is fun for the kids playing school to rack up some wins. I can barely keep up with everything but part of what makes Vandy so easy to hate this year is having a bitch made 30 year old Baker Mayfield type leading the charge. anyways, I usually root for GT as well, curious if that whole vibe will go away with nil
  20. AMCU? Appalachian Mountain something universe? This just goes to further my plan (… fustian bargain?) to learn steel guitar and go back to being a touring musician after hoarding a few mil. Pedal steel guy can look like whatever.
  21. If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room in Oklahoma with Hitler and Osama Bin Laden, I’d shoot myself twice.
