  1. TIL my stream from YouTube TV is about a minute behind y'all.
  2. Wtf is with our dogshit return game? They ALWAYS get flagged with a block in the back or hold, without fail. It's infuriating
  3. Yeah seems like a v skippable thing. I'm down to get the cliff notes best hits though once people tear it apart. From the article: They discussed, among other things, how bull riders occasionally die, aspects of concrete and the effects of wind on whales. “What is happening with the whales?” Rogan asked as Trump disparaged windmills, an alternative form of energy. “The wind drives whales crazy. … I want to be a whale psychiatrist.” He also wants to be president, and he hit on several of his campaign’s greatest hits. He disparaged Harris’ intelligence, praised tariffs (“To me the most beautiful word … in the dictionary today is the word tariff. It’s more beautiful than love. It’s more beautiful than anything”) and, why not, once again falsely claimed that he won the 2020 election. “I don’t want to get you in any disputes, but I won that election so easy,” Trump said, referring to the election he lost to President Joe Biden. “I want to talk to you about that,” Rogan said, which, in this conversation, amounted to pushback. He did ask Trump why none of his claims of election fraud held up in court, but Trump just fell back on the usual complaints about a bad court system.
  4. The most recent episode of Hard Fork actually has some really good reporting on this story in particular Notably they report that the gun was unsecured in a drawer, and the AI chat bot owners probably do have some culpability in his death. Gonna be an interesting case if it goes to court
  5. Never invite a cop to the party lol, but I'd bet Walz would be a fuckin hoot to party with
  6. Hello, fellow war thunder player. I couldn't tell if the SU's were 85s or 122s. I didn't spot the IS-2 though. Fuckin nuts that they're getting wheeled out. And also from war thunder, they're gonna have a real bad time against modern equipment and Bradley's. Russian WWII equipment was built with the expectation of having a service life measured in miles, I can't imagine it will integrate well into a modern force or have a lasting useful presence
  7. Holy shit they're pulling T34's and SU85's out of storage for training?? Jeezus
  8. So basically, the global warming/pollution argument, but for Amazon?
  9. I got a 12 gun safe on sale a decade ago for $500 that comes with an old school dial combo lock with no batteries. They're out there and not hard to find, if that sort of thing matters to you. But like, if your kids are getting that gung ho to break into your safe, you're raising some miscreants lol
  10. This tracks for me - I went to HS in NEISD and most of those schools have a COMPLETELY different economics and demographics than before - a friend taught English for 10 years at our HS and it's WILDLY different from when I was a student there Look at Churchill if you wanna see the future state of those schools, and Lee (the non magnet portion) if you wanna see even further into the future. The money keeps moving a little further out each time from Lee to Churchill to Reagan to Johnson
  11. This is just for the cleanup cost, nothing to say for wrongful death claims and liability for replacing the bridge
  12. Lol this is the new "boat outside of the wifi range", huh?
  13. Gee whiz, what a shock https://www.rawstory.com/amp/elon-musk-2669477305-2669477305 (Here's the WSJ coverage if that's more your cup of tea https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/musk-putin-secret-conversations-37e1c187) Pretty interesting how his takeover of Twitter maps cleanly onto his interactions with russian handlers. First contact by putin was in May'22, he starts buying Twitter in August'22, and by November it's already underway getting turned into a fascist online hangout
  14. Wow, they put S5E1 of lower decks on YouTube for free
  15. honestly, your wife is probably better off having delivered him prematurely. 10lbs is HUGE! When my daughter hit 11lbs she started eating enough to sleep through the night, so I hope your sleepless newborn phase is short 🤘
  16. If you never give out any money, there was never any lottery amirite? Checkmate, atheists.
  17. They would probably be actually impressed by russian grocery stores
  18. It's really important to catch the dodge and block prompts, otherwise you take a shitload of damage
  19. Pretty low bar lol, the new trilogy is dogwater. Yeah the first game felt like a version of the dark souls combat, just not as punishing when you make mistakes. The second game was a fair bit more its own thing, I'm looking forward to how they finish Cal's story
  20. You really need to diversify your information sources. Buy a subscription to groundnews or one of those news aggregators that tracks factuality and reporting framing bias, I think you'll be shocked to see how narrow your worldview is being informed by your media diet. Because seriously dawg, Tulsi Gabbard literally registered (R) the other day lol. You should also know #bothsides is not gonna make you many friends, aside from anastasis. It's a stubborn lazy and uncritical opinion that's usually used to distract the conversation, rather than defend your indefensible position
