  1. This may have already been mentioned, and apologies if so, but I found all of the nonsense of the last couple of years to make a lot more sense once it dawned on me that if someone just doesn't want to get vaccinated for "reasons", their argument simply creates a presupposition that they're a big gaping pussy. And being a big gaping pussy isn't a choice, they were either born that way or were converted in an aggy bathroom stall. Once that realization came, I've been calmer than a Hindu cow chewing marijuana cud. Haven't really thought about those folks since.
  2. You know, this is also a fairly spot on description of the new coach. Here's hoping he turns out to at least be a better coach than Shaka. EDITED to remove language about sucking as a head coach from the quote. Jury is still out on that one.
  3. Hmmm. What happened with Whataburger about two years ago that may have impacted the way they purchase and prepare food? Hmmmm.
  4. There is a federal version of what are called "Son of Sam" laws. 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 3681–3682. Not all states have them, and they differ by state. Some, including the original version in NY (hence the nickname) have been struck down by SCOTUS as they tend to raise 1st Amendment issues. Lots of drafting and redrafting since the 70's when these first came about.
  5. I like his data rundowns as well, but be careful of his interpretations. He was a big part of spreading the ivermectin nonsense, as well as the vaccine/heart problem bullshit. He's not a doctor, but rather has a PhD in nursing education. So he's not even a nurse, just a guy who studied to teach at a nursing college. He's repeatedly demonstrated a general misunderstanding of the difference between causation and correlation. I think he's well intentioned and the problem has mostly been idiots taking his statements out of context and running with them, but there's a reason he's the well they keep drinking from.
  6. I won't let the family stop in Waco to take a piss when we're driving up to DFW from Austin. Not worth it.
  7. Well, does it take more guts to twice traverse a staircase in a burning building, or to make a one-time leap into the mouth of a smoking volcano? Damned if I know, Kimosabe. All I know is when you're making those kind of calls, you're up in the high country.
  8. lol. You're worried about tickets to a basketball game? Just walk up to any of them sir.
  9. Jesus Waco Christ, of course it was made up bullshit. It was a fucking joke.
  10. You couldn't handle the details.
  11. I just ride the daily Claritin D train along with daily Flonase starting mid December through the end of February every year. Keeps it manageable, although still miserable. The worst is the lack of sleep from the decongestants raising heart rate. The Opcon allergy eye drops posted above are a life saver as well. I really just want to move away from here (at least during cedar season) but I keep losing the argument.
  12. Waco, and the Baptists who inhabit it, are representative of all that is wrong with the universe. Weird doesn't begin to cover it. You didn't even mention the Chip and Joanna Gaines sex cult.
  13. Nice to see Texas finally coming around. Figuring out a way to reasonably finance these institutions in a more equitable manner (outside of the privates of course) would be a great next step. Sul Ross moving to aggie would be a mistake. Given the largely Hispanic student body, and the geography, Tech would be a natural fit.
  14. Oh man I hope you're right. Leaving the country for a while and hope to come back to clear skies sinuses.
  15. Drugs are expensive. But you know what almost never happens in private schools? Shootings. I don't have a clue why, but 96% of school shootings in this country are in public schools. I'd rather my kid get high than dead, all else being equal.
  16. Did someone pay the ransom or did the kidnappers just get sick of the proselytizing?
  17. Just shoot me now and get it over with.
  18. It's not easy finding a place that feels right to educate your kids these days. They've all got their problems.
  19. I'll believe it when I see it. If only every district would follow suit.
  20. Is it wrong that I appreciate a politician who won't respond to tweets? As for emails, someone from their office should be responding (to the sane(ish) emails anyway).
  21. It's absolutely ridiculous, but no one should be shocked when government at any level sees a pie and wants to stick its fat sausage fingers in there to take half for itself.
  22. I don't doubt there will be a payday for these schmucks. I mean the deep pockets involved here will laugh while they just buy them off. What a ridiculous shakedown.
