Time to watch for any credit cards popping up under my name i guess.

If I had a nickel. Its like they take a class for this.

I don't know. Is it you?

The think tank behind the democratic party, those who actually make the decisions are, and have always been fucking idiots. The fact we are even in this situation pisses me off to no end. I am on the side of God damned idiots. This is their job, to strategize, for the present and for the future. Yet here we are. For decades their messaging has missed the mark while the republicans know EXACTLY how stupid/fearful the average human being is. The democrats play in LA LA land and now we may/will lose everything because of it. Maybe Ill just start to embrace my male whiteness and think, yea perhaps this is for the best. This is the best the human race can do. People refuse to critically think because thinking critically is scary. They would much rather be told what to do and get lost in their racism/fear of God bullshit. Or do nothing as they get poorer because they have no time to do anything but work. Im getting more and more pissed off by the day from all of it. Whatever.

I was going to make a joke or tongue in cheek comment on this but it looks like I was 13 minutes too late and this post was already quoted like 4 times. I will say, my joke was going to be funny. A real shame.

Dallas getting fucked for rain.

Seems you didn't grow up in Amarillo Texas.

Yea it's cloudy and 70 in flower mound right now at 5pm in July. A cool north breeze. Feels like Oct-Nov Fuck ya I'll take it. Each day below 100 from July- August is a blessing. Looks like at least a week of below 95 degree temps. Unheard of recently.

I hope this is the path that holds. Getting a good 2 or 3 days of soaking rain in DFW to cool off would be perfect

I'm demoralized reading all of this. What a perfect storm for us to lose our democracy.

Have a 2 week vacation lined up for the second half of July to mexico city so I'm hoping the next 2 weeks aren't ridiculous. Looks like dfw has a temperature break coming in 4 days too. Hopefully it lasts until.the 17th when we fly out. My tolerance has changed i think. I'll take this past June every year moving forward. Yes last week kinda sucked at right around 98-100 but it didn't feel oppressive to me. It's when it's 100 at 11am and 108 by 3pm where you'll hear me start screaming. So far so good. Hopefully I'll just be upset in August. I can handle 1 month a year of bullshit temps.

I thought about that but I think Im just going to keep raising my wind/hail % deductible instead. I just want to pay a grand or so a year for the off chance the house completely burns down from some electrical BS or there is a direct hit of an F4 or F5 tornado. If my roof gets fucked someday from hail I may have to eat that and most likely hire someone to patch up the parts that need it instead of always trying to get a total roof repair paid for by insurance. As a home owner for the past 20 years, I have never filed a claim. But I have paid about 25 grand to insurance over that time. Moving forward its going to be ridiculous paying for the coverage Ive had in the past, even as recently as 2 years ago...

Just now clicked on this thread. Didn't watch the debate. So fucking depressed. What a nightmare. I hope it was not as bad as what I'm reading here and more like a game thread after we go 3 and out on our first possession.

This is next on our list for my brother and I after we beat BG3. We are both pretty excited.

DFW 10 day forecast

Take him on a hunting trip.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/13/weather/el-nino-la-nina-summer-forecast-climate/index.html El nino is dead. La nina coming fast and that means drought and heat for texas. I was hoping el nino would last another month so we could keep getting this rain but it's not gonna happen. Had really enjoyed the El nino weather so far this year in dallas. Well fuck.

So pitchers in college softball can just throw forever? No inning limit? 200 pitches in 1 day, throwing both games of a doubleheader the next? What about tripleheaders? What if they threw 600 pitches in 1 day? They can throw the same amount the next day? What about a 1000 pitches in 1 day? Seems like that rule needs to change so that there is at least SOME strategy involved. I say that knowing we had Cat all those years ago and basically would do what Stanford did this year. Still seems like a shitty non-rule to have.

My wife is from Mexico city and she says it doesn't really matter who is elected president right now. There is too much corruption in government and the cartels have too much influence. Reports yesterday in multiple cities of people trying to burn down polling places and obstruct the voting process. I hope she is strong enough to make real change.

I really thought climate change would be incremental, like 'normal' food inflation prices at a grocery store. If indeed the ball dropped in 2022, it's been a sledgehammer so far. The last 2 summers have been hell and this summer looks no different. Home owners insurance on basically every coastal state has skyrocketed since 2022 due to wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, wind hail etc. Not to mention the ridiculous temps, both highs in the 105-109 range and lows in the upper 80s.

Another whif on the forecast high today. Already 98 with 105 heat index and was supposed to be only 94. A bunch of fucking idiots.

Feels like 103 in dfw. Its a sauna outside. I hope it dries out before Sunday

What are all these people on questionable diagnoses going to do when the drug companies finish ramping production and the FDA takes semaglutide and tirzepatide off the shortage list? Is this how crack dealers work?

It's here... today was the first morning since Sept where I sweated during my morning dog walk. While it's not oppressive, it definitely feels like summer in dfw now. Ac running a lot more. I think it's the abnormally high low temps that make it worse. A low of 77 over the next few days with high humidity means you never feel like you catch a break. I have a bad feeling our first 100 degree day is coming in the next few weeks. Hope I'm wrong.
