  1. I'm similarly scared. You have to wonder what safeguards they have between a Putin order to order to launch nukes and launching. Are there generals that could intervene? MAD still applies but if he becomes truly unhinged maybe he doesn't care. Probably more likely is tactical nukes in Ukraine but where does that lead?
  2. Well, that was a disaster. Skin contracted and kind of burnt. Franklin wraps it to protect the skin. Lesson learned. Hopefully it's still moist and tasty.
  3. All y'all cooking on a WSM...have you ever tried finishing in the oven on higher heat (say 425) to crisp the skin? In the past I've followed Franklin's recipe with the butter bath and foil the last half to third. But skin winds up rubbery. Wondering what would happen if I skipped the foil and just put in the oven after basting with butter.
  4. I haven't been in Austin for a few years cause of life and the pandemic. Came out here for a wedding and stayed downtown. Went for a run around town lake and thought "holy shit, what the hell happened, why would anyone allow this." Then get breakfast with a friend and he gives the whole story about getting rid of the ordinance and everything that ensued. I had no idea and what a total mess. Get it together, Austin.
  5. I think he was probably the only reasonable and competent member of the Trump administration. Glad he's still been vocal. Rates spiking in Europe. They're behind on vaccination but I'm starting to think we're not going to avoid a variant wave. Texas and other states saying fuck it won't help.
  6. Has anyone proposed just a universal refinance of the loans rather than forgiveness? Or some forgiveness plus refinance of the balance? I have 6% interest on some of my loans which is crazy high given current rates. You can refinance through a bank but that's probably not an option if you're having trouble making payments. Eliminating the high interest would give a lot of people a break and avoid the moral hazard issues.
  7. Those ships look so damn futuristic. When I watch them I think "cool the future is finally here."

    SpaceX

    I don't really understand this. It was more likely than not it was going to crash into the pad and FAA cleared it. Seems like it went exactly as planned, including the possibility of a crash. What's to investigate? Or are they just going to do this every time now? Did they after SN8?

    Weird there haven't been any tweets from Space X or Elon. Planning to try to watch it with my son. We watched the last test together.

    Looks like there's a lot to do before launch. Any idea what time it will be?

    SpaceX

    Is SN9 launching today? Sae reports it was but haven't seen a time or anything from SpaceX. Really want to see it stick the landing.
  12. Nice. So pissed this shit wasn't happening months ago.
  13. Just seeing a normal Whitehouse press briefing is such a relief. Thank gmGid for the return to normalcy.
  14. A confrontation with Iran or another foreign power is certainly a possibility. Does he respond with nukes? Other disproportionate response? Just nuke them unprovoked cause Bibi asks. He is incredibly dangerous.
  15. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R) just called it a coup on ABC. Don't know anything about him. Now they need to hold Trump accountable. Impeach and remove. End this shit.

  17. It seems like this isn't even going to be close. Looking forward to communism.
  18. If you believe that, I've got 100 million Pfizer vaccines to sell you. Why should we be surprised Trump maybe fucked up vaccines? Of course he did. We'll still be dealing with when the rest of the developed world is back to normal.
  19. Are there any guarantees on the supply from Moderna? Its 100 million doses which means 50 million vaccinated. That is...not enough.
  20. Nice! Ossoff will obliterate that empty chair.
  21. I don't think you want to give up a seat on the D.C. Circuit if McConnell controls the senate.
