  1. In the early 80s, TMC used to have the movie of the month and played that movie several times each day. On the month the Shining had that honor, I (age 6/7) watched it over and over, to the extent I snagged some of my mom's lipstick and wrote "REDRUM." on the bathroom mirror as a joke. And while I was scared by aspects of the movie, I joked about other aspects of it with my parents. Same. Saw it with my mom and sister in the theater when it came out. 'Twas my favorite scene at the time. I had cable in my room and saw a ton of good (but probably not so appropriate) movies from age 6 on. I turned out okay (subjectively).
  2. I am an English major who absolutely sucks at math. But somehow, my pool/putt-putt-centered brain was well suited for whatever passed for geometry in 1990. My only A in any math class ever. After my kids struggled through it, I now think I was in some sort of "for dummies" class at my school.
  3. I don't know. If I had to guess, I'd guess they all are R, even the ones who I know for a fact are D. There wasn't anything local on my ballot today. Smaller town. So I'm guessing my school board rep wasn't up for re-election. Other than President, mostly judges, other state offices, and reps today.
  4. I voted first thing this morning. Pretty good line, but I got there during a brief lull and was in-and-out in less than 15 minutes. The "voted" stickers are swanky this year.
  5. They have this really handy "R" next to their name to identify them.
  6. Sorry I'm late to the discussion. But we gotta fuck these fools up. Hookem!
  7. You inspired me, but I went low-rent and bought some fresh, pre-made meatballs, which I baked. Then, I made a lasagna of sorts with layers of spinach and cheese ravioli, crushed tomatoes (seasoned), spinach, mozzarella cheese and breadcrumbs. Rinse repeat, drizzle with olive oil and bake. I'll hopefully remember to snap a picture, which won't look as good as yours, but will be plenty tasty, I'm guessing. Cheers!
  8. I want to make this organization my charity of choice. Don't get too excited though. I'm a lowly, state employee. Alas, DCBC is just pawn in game of life. But good show!
  9. Working fine on a Windows Desktop on Mozilla.
  10. I got some Cruz spam text about how "trans people are going to ruin the 12 team playoffs system" or some nonsense. I'm sure no one reads these, but it gives me a creative outlet.
  11. The guy is implanting technology in human brains. I think we can let it count votes. But people who agree with him (since this isn't CR) definitely should request paper ballots.
  12. My browser is set to delete cookies every time I close it, but I'll check. It's working fine on my Chromebook (Chrome browser).
  13. Still 503 for me. Windows desktop. Mozilla. Tapa works fine.
  14. RIP Fountainview Cafe. That place was great. Buffalo Grill used to do pretty well with breakfast, but it went local chain at some point a decade or so ago.
  15. I assume you meant to type "dad was from Beaumont." Otherwise, your post explains a lot more.
  16. The flour tortilla and ground beef is textbook, white-people enchiladas. And, as a white person who, under most circumstances would like to rise above his people's culinary deficiencies, I'll admit a weakness for these two components of WPE. However, that weakness presumes that there is about a gallon of canned enchilada sauce dumped over them, along with an entire block of that Old San Francisco Steakhouse cheese shredded over the top. Is your wife's family from the Midwest by chance?
  17. Reddit is reporting that it was a glitch and people's accounts are being adjusted back.
  18. Did anyone with kids at UT receive a "financial aid adjustment" email yesterday with zero explanation? We paid off our balance for the semester last week and, out of nowhere, UT suddenly wants an extra grand. The UT reddit is on fire about this right now with some people having received "adjustments" of $16K or as low as $10. So it seems like this is either a mistake or fallout from all the FAFSFA fuckery this year.
