  1. I think dems gaining Texas is at least 25 years away. It will happen but the Latino vote is not quite large enough yet and the urban white vote is not yet significant enough to overcome east Texas and fat suburban white people.
  2. The debates in 2020 will be high comedy. I don’t think he will win but it will make for some great reality TV
  3. The NMCI (basically the Navy network) is remarkably secure and innovative. I sold some software into the project so I only know some high level public stuff - but the Navy network is like a mesh network where each ship is a node. Point being it is highly adaptable and easy to adjust/secure from outside entities.
  4. This is badass. I love watching punk ass DL get their shit pushed in.
  5. Btw. He got schooled - legitimized KimJongUn, basically rehashed 1992 and 2004 while he gave a major concession in stopping joint military exercises. Basically exactly what Moscow and Beijing wanted. Well done dotard.
  6. Lost is the press conference was this exchange (referring to needing a transcript of the meeting) Dotard: “don’t need it, I have one if the best memories of all time”
  7. Yeah, because he has good extracurriculars
  8. I am lucky that I get to travel for work. I explored (and will continue to explore) parts of cities I would have never entered 15 years ago. I am convinced that the explosion and acceptance of more ethnic foods and the search for culinary authenticity is largely a result of Bourdain's influence. Andy Ricker, Roy Choi, David Chang..the list goes on and on Not to mention the TV guys like Zimmern, Ripert, Costintino, even Tesar all owe Bordain a HUGE amount of credit for where and who they are. Hell, FlavorTown owes him a HUGE debt of gratitude for the press alone. Just trying too capture his influence on food and travel, and his influence on me is hard to put in words. I kind of feel like I lost my guide. As soon as our kids are out of the house my wife and I are going to vagabond it around world capitals for 10-15 years. Largely because of how small I realized our worldview was based on some of Bourdains work. I read he was found by Ripert. That just fucking sucks man.
  9. Jesus This one actually effects me hard. I believed so strongly in his work that travel and exploration has become an ethos for me. I have tried and experienced so much more in life because of the influence of his writings and shows. I felt his narration was brilliant and his storytelling was only getting better. This really really sucks.
  10. Doesn’t look like the Caps gonna Caps. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
  11. That kick to stick was sick.
  12. Let me see if I understand We are only getting JS because we are paying, but if they “match” then he leans aggy. JenniferLawrenceOK.gif
  13. Story about it in AusChron https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2018-06-08/sudden-death-for-mckalla-place/?mc_cid=e28b8b547c&mc_eid=ad7ce3c720
  14. When is the vote on this thing?
  15. The stadium rendition looks outstanding. Not sure how even the CC could fuck this up - but I’m sure they will find a way to do so.
  16. I think he is mostly focusing on the fact that you are a Cliff Clavin know-it-all cunt that seems to take pleasure in being a wet blanket.
  17. Begin Sunshine: I know there is some bad news recency bias here, but we just picked up Jake Fucking Smith. We havent won out of state contests like that in a long time. We will win some and lose some, but the fact that we are now trying is very encouraging.
  18. Yep. Textbook narcissist. And probably a sociopath.
  19. Unfortunately, I think they need someone who is comfortable talking shit. Trump is going to fling a shy ton of feces and stupid nicknames that the dotards will eat up. Being above it won’t work. I think Biden is the guy and could get in the mud with Dotard.
  20. The most interesting part is that this was a counter to most of the Philadelphia Eagles not showing up to a whites house visit. They actually thought this was a better idea. Let that sink in.
  21. He is like the leader from the Simpsons.
  22. Oh look. He found a way to make it about himself. That’s new...
