Watched Bama beat Aggy by like 50 from somewhere in China about 10 years ago. Had my wife set up her IPad on a TV tray in front of the TV at home. Then I just FaceTimed with her. She moved the IPad until the TV screen filled my IPad screen and then she went shopping. Worked surprisingly well. No VPN needed. Just a good wifi signal in a hotel.
Yep, did that with the Bama game in Austin a couple of years ago. We were in Glasgow, Pescado Rojo messaged me that I was missing a good one. He put his phone camera where it could capture his TV, and I watched the last 20 mins or so through my phone on hotel wifi. Did the same for an Astros playoff game we were watching in a bar when the boy was in Germany. Propped up a phone to capture the bar tv, he watched the phone feed on his laptop - resolution was plenty good.

Sir, I believe you misspelled "plandemic." You see, this is all clearly a plot by the Illuminati, working hand in hand with Colonel Sanders and his wee, beady eyes, to release a virus bioengineered in a secret lab in Andorra designed to cause all people of Etruscan lineage to walk with a slight limp in their left leg. DO THE RESEARCH, SHEEPLE!

I mean no one should go to Bubba gump or hardrock but has Boudros and Biga falling off that bad?
There is also a Paesano and Silo down there. Not to mention a Palm and Bohannans just off the riverwalk.
Yep. Boudros is on the river, and it's good. And once they opened up a Paesano down there (as in, you can get Shrimp Paesano), that's our dinner choice if we're going to be on the river. Both are great choices.

And a co-sign for Shilo's. It's literally just up the stairs from the river and across one street. Great old-school deli.
The point being, there are good places to eat on the river. There are LOTS of bad places, but there are some good places.

Anyone still saying shit like this or "I'm voting for the policies, not the person" should be forced to acknowledge that they would vote for Satan if he had an (R) next to his name. That's all that matters now.
It's even dumber than that. Let's say that really is your approach.
Cool, we're picking a pilot.
Pilot 1: I have filed a flight plan to take our plane to the Bahamas for a month. Also, I have stated numerous times that I will change my mind and fly wherever the hell I want and you can't stop me, the plane belongs to me and I alone get to decide what to do with it, I've threatened to crash the plane into a mountain repeatedly, I've tried to hijack a plane before, I've demonstrated that I actually have no idea how to fly a plane, I get easily confused and distracted by anything and everything, and I'm fucking drunk all the time.
Pilot 2: I have filed a flight plan to take us to a local lake for a nice week. I know that's not the exotic destination some of you may want, but it's achievable based on the time and resources we have. Also, I am a competent pilot who has repeatedly expressed that I take seriously my duties as a pilot, and have never threatened to crash the plane, tried to hijack it, and I'm not a drinker.
Saying "I'm voting for the flight plan, not the pilot" in that scenario tells me that you are a dumbass with sub-reptilian intelligence. I'm amazed that you remember to breathe.

My youngest son graduated from High School in 2021, and he studied about Vietnam in History. We he talked to me about it, I told him "that's not history, that's current events".
CSB:
I met my now-wife in a class on the Vietnam War that we took together our jr. year of high school.
At the time, she hated me, because (to hear her tell it) I was a pompous know-it-all asshole.
Man, the fucking NERVE of her. Talk about getting the wrong read on a guy, right?

years ago, I was locked up overnight on some stupid bullshit because I was young and stupid. Pled nolo contendre, and got a 200 dollar fine, with a 50 dollar credit for spending one night in jail.
If those cops can't pay the million, lock em up and give em 50 dollars credit for each night in jail.
That's in addition to the years they get for abuse of power, illegal arrest, etc.
Cops.
Being held personally accountable.
Gosh, you are ADORABLE.

Yep. I'd like to get to a common sense agreement using certain parameters that allow transgender athletes the ability to play the sports fairly -- or as fairly as possible -- with their peers. How you define that, I don't really know. But this is an issue? In a country with 350 million people, how many examples are there of this? Less than 100?
This country has real fucking problems. News flash: This doesn't crack the top 1000.
Fucking....THIS.
Any issue/problem, even a small one, deserves a fair solution.
None of the dialogue about it is driven by that desire. None. Zero. Sure, what athletic governing bodies are trying is driven by that goal, but none of the "ZOMG we HAFTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE!" crowd acknowledge or accept that.
And the amount of energy and attention this is getting, in relation to how big an issue it actually is? Shit, it would make about as much sense to shut down the entire country to protect against bee stings (which actually KILL 50-100 people a year). Wouldn't you agree that something that KILLS 50-100 people a year is more important than something that tilts perhaps a handful of amateur athletic competitions each year? WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BEE STINGS??????
Stupid. Pure manipulation of the rubes, who are so feverishly dancing the music played for them they can't see how foolish they look.

Don't mean to be Debbie Downer on an awesome page, but Abbott is probably the only person that can save an autistic guy who was failed by the hospital/doctors that he took his daughter to.
Knowing Abbott, he'll let the guy die, even though Republicans and Democrats both believe he needs to grant him clemency.
3 hours ago, SubliminalHorn said:If anything he’ll speed up the execution
Speed it up? Shit, he'll want to go down there and push the button himself.
The cruelty is the point, because it's a display of raw power.
A government that executes citizens guilty of heinous crimes is powerful.
But you wannna know what's REALLY powerful? A government that can execute innocent citizens, without being stopped and suffering no repercussions. THAT'S power. The GQP loves exercises of power that are morally wrong and indefensible, because being able to get away with the "wrong and indefensible" is something only someone with absolute power can do. And "absolute power" is their only goal.

At the elite level, a trans female is free to compete in the group coincident with their birth gender.
Cool.
So, I have an athlete over here who was born with a vagina. She has to compete as a female.
WHOOPS....turns out she has a condition known as being intersex. So, maybe she has XY chromosomes (one possible result of being intersex). Or, maybe she has very high testosterone levels (another possible result of being intersex). So.....what is her "birth gender?"
Everyone who is so dismissive and functionally says "just check and see if she was born with a dick" isn't actually interested in addressing the issues that might give an athlete an unfair competitive advantage. Instead, it's all performative rah-rah my political team bullshit.
Again, this wasn't an important issue a few years ago. Now, it is THE MOST IMPORTANT CRISIS OF OUR TIME, AND WE NEED TO ELECT A PRESIDENT AND SENATOR WHO WILL PROTECT GIRLS! You're being played. Like you always are. And apparently, you like it. Dance, monkey, dance.

It was a combination of factors
Agree.
2 minutes ago, babysdaddy said:and believe that supply chain issues started the inflation issue
Agree. It was a cascading phenomenon.
3 minutes ago, babysdaddy said:and over stimulus by lots of governments exacerbated the problem.
Agree. The fact that functionally every government chose to use that tool should tell us something. The reality is often that you have to "pick your poison." There were no great options in response to the black swan event and cascading effects of same. EVERYTHING you could do, including inaction, would have negative consequences. You could pick WHICH negative consequences you wanted, but not WHETHER there would be negative consequences. You make what you think is the least bad decision. When you layer on the fact that among the observing public, there is a bias against inaction ("why aren't they doing something to help?!?!?")....well, there's the reason that functionally every government with the ability to do so used the tool of stimulus.
If you want to criticize the use of stimulus in response to the unfolding, unprecedented economic circumstances, you FIRST need to model what the alternatives (like doing nothing) would have looked like, and whether there's a realistic chance that such alternatives would/could have been accepted by the public. And then, you need to weigh those choices NOT in the benefit of hindsight, but based on information and expected outcomes that existed at the time the decisions had to be made. I suspect that when you do so, that will reveal that the rational choice was the choice made by most every government that could do so.

I clearly missed this yesterday
Not new.
And also.....if you published that plan and told them "this is what China is trying to do," 1) it would be kinda accurate (creating cities out of whole cloth is a thing they've actually tried to do), and 2) they would freak out, bug-eyed, condemning it as commie central planning bullshit and such.
But Trump proposes it, and it should be added to the Bible as a new gospel.
The dumbest. Fucking. People.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the cost comparison for buried vs. traditional power lines? Obviously digging is pricier, but wondering if there’s an “accurate” guesstimate that anyone has gathered that indicates that buried lines cost more by a factor 3/5/10 whatever.
For distribution lines (the ones you see around town), the consensus is that it is 4-6X the cost of aerial power lines.
The costs of electric infrastructure is always borne by the customers.
Electric customers will not pay for such dramatically higher costs; many customers on the lower end simply couldn't afford those rates. There's a reason that buried power lines are mostly a function of 1) newly built infrastructure 2) in higher-end neighborhoods. It's lower cost when it's done as part of initial construction (when the ground is already torn up and utilities are being installed there anyway), and buyers who will pay a premium are okay eating that extra cost.
"Bury all the power lines!" is not an economically viable solution, no matter how much we want it to be.

The Veep Debate - Walz v. Vance, 9pm EST Tuesday, Oct 1st
in Cloak Room
Posted · Edited by Brisketexan
Vance: Haitians are eating babies! Kamala Harris once nuked Iowa! Tim Walz wants college football to be played only by gay Panamanians!
Walz: Once told his wife that an outfit looked nice on her when it actually did not look nice and made her look a touch frumpy.
Media: "BOTH VP CANDIDATES HAVE BIG PROBLEMS WITH DISHONESTY!"
