  1. Valde molestum est tantum strepitum et tam parvam cupiditatem consistendi et de rebus critice cogitandi. It's no "E pluribus unum," but it fits.
  2. This pretty well sums up my feelings about society.
  3. Lovely stock, etc.
  4. Are the latter going up at the same time, or will that be a later announcement?

  6. It's like that summer camp movie. The bones didn't get bigger. The meat got smaller. /I saw that movie on Great Value Cinemax. I didn't notice any ribs.
  7. Like I said, I recanted. But as someone mentioned above, consistency (and excellence) are kings in 2025. A mediocre meal at any known joint in Texas 12 years ago would have been on par with amazing.
  8. Hard flashback for me just now watching that. Fuuuuuck!
  9. Like weak, stupid, malfunctioning, and shit fallin' off on a man? Or just ugly? /edit: And by ugly, I mean, no aliby, U.G.L.Y. I'd rather bang a Pontiac Aztec. //I mean I'd rather bang a Pontiac Aztec than look at a Cybertruck
  10. Old post, but it just prompted a text to my sister who lives near and shops at Trader Joe's saying pick this up for me, please and thank you. Our lives are in your hands, Dude.
  11. I keep thinking we're not far off from one of these towns (glass houses) renaming a school FJB and citing the L.E.E. example as its explanation. Fingers crossed I didn't will that into existence against my will.
  12. At first I was like haha. Then, I was like, oh, probably. I can't imagine at least 35% of this country (optimistically) being down for some neurolink.
  13. I think this is Just The Tip of the iceberg.
  14. Is that Starlink or Neurolink. I can't keep up.
  15. There are You People, Those People, and, then, there's maga. Also, there is no Dana, only Zool.
  16. Needs blue bantha-milk.
  17. Hairy Pawter
  18. Well, they fought against the name change and lost, but your point is correct and the historical analogy is delicious. Also, I should correct my statement above that the School Board president is Latino. Licea defeated the previous school board president, who had been on the board for the past ten years in a contested election. Another board member, the only one who voted against the name change originally, was defeated in a contested election as well. She had been on the board for eleven years.
  19. Did Tyler change the name of its high schools back? I'm pretty sure it didn't since my younger son is a junior at Legacy. I think I might have heard something? I mean, when I started this thread about Tyler actually doing something good for once, how was I to predict that Midland's problems would be dumped into the thread and people would just assume the two towns were acting in concert given their proximity (that's a joke). It's okay. There's plenty to hate about the racist assholes in Tyler. There are plenty. But my guess is that the school board and its newly-elected, Latino president, want to not go through that again in reverse. I hope I'm right.
  20. So can the driver, apparently? Also, why are you shouting?
  21. I guess we need to sew their emergency contact numbers into their underwear, seeing as none of them are allowed to use cell phones at school starting today.
  22. Their menu online lists it at $35.99 per lb. My guess is that that rib must be a couple two-tree lbs? https://www.royhutchinsbbq.com/menu If they truly are charging $74 per lb for beef ribs, it renders the Chris Rock joke no longer funny.
  23. The real question, which I pondered on Monday. Does @troph's pet insurance cover the intentional (on the dog's part) ingestion of spare ribs where said dog has no history of counter retrieval of food stuffs? Did I, the owner in this hypothetical insurance claim, create such an attractive nuisance, that coverage unquestionably should be denied? Let's assume I'm not trying to commit pet-insurance fraud by collecting under troph's policy, but rather, that I had a policy from the same company, which I assume is called, "It's Ruff" or "Bark Avenue" or some such. For your consideration:
  24. Yes, but not with bones or so I read much later. At the time, I thought I'd gotten her away from everything soon enough, and it appears as though I did. Only later, after no appetite the next day, followed by the shits and two pukes Monday morning did I decide it was time to go get checked out. Other than these symptoms, she wasn't in any distress that I figured required immediate attention, particularly due to her 50+ lbs size. While she was at the vet, Archie proceeded to enshitify the kitchen, which prompted my wife to get a second helping of expensive anti-nau$ea drug$ and probiotic pa$te for him. He probably ate a mole or something. Oh well. The ribs were good.
