  1. Seriously. Imagine that you come into possession of ironclad proof that there is ET life and it is visiting us. You don't run fucking teasers about your event in a month, sell merch, etc. You fucking go wide with it, right then and there. Trust me, if an alien craft crashes in my backyard, y'all are seeing it all over the interwebs minutes later. Okay, maybe an hour later. Depends on how gentle they are with my anal probe.
  2. Elon - the richest man in the world, with a global platform that he controls absolutely, who is not shy about his anti-immigrant and anti-Islam sentiments - endorses AfD, saying "only AfD can save Germany," thus using his global platform to feed the hate and rage that AfD needs. Hours later, AfD fanboi who is pissed that Germany isn't anti-immigrant and anti-islam enough, murders 5 and injures 200. Classic stochastic terrorism. I mean, imagine if someone of even close to that high a profile said "Germany is anti-islam, and must pay for its crimes," and hours later, an islamist terrorist committed the exact same act. We'd be ripshit pissed about that stochastic terrorism. Elon is a terrorist. He's pure, distilled evil, and is perhaps the most dangerous man on the planet right now. Oh, and my daughter is currently in Germany, was at the local Xmas market (about 2 hours away) twice last week. Tuesday, and then Saturday. She commented, sadly, how much tighter security was on Saturday. We're a shitty species.
  3. Or, I mean....we could simply be a good NATO partner and have all the access to Greenland we want or need that way. TLDR; Why buy when you can rent it for cheaper?
  4. Dude. White people’s pollo asado. Go to Pollo Regio if that’s what you want.
  5. Wait…this post isn’t satire? Seriously? Europe, for example….hasn’t provided any major advances in pharmaceuticals and devices? China, Japan, Korea…nothing from them? No question American advancements are a big player, but 1) we’re IT, and 2) other countries wouldn’t have undertaken similar efforts if we weren’t a major player? Jesus, the nearsightedness of Americans is breathtaking.
  6. It’s the closest we could find to Texas cue. And if you think we won’t also be indulging in all the German delights, you don’t know me. From our last trip.
  7. Well…that was a month’s worth of goals in one match.
  8. I do love the “American exceptionalism” that dominated the discussion. Like no other country or system has introduced or innovated a kajillion elements of life-saving medical care and the like. Yes, the world would still have amazing, innovative care and treatment WITHOUT massive profit-taking in the US. And…employers are skimming money off the top too? WTF are you talking about? I’m an employer, we provide healthcare (we have a broker, we pick a plan, we pay for it). It’s a cost center for us, and only a cost center. I don’t get what the hell you are telling about, but I assure you that I don’t get an extra check at the end of the year if we fuck over enough of our employees by denying them care. Sure, our loss ratio affects our collective premiums, but…we then pay them, pretty much whatever they are.
  9. Shit. The boy is currently on a train home to Mainz from Frankfurt. We found what seems to be a legit barbecue joint in Frankfurt, and that’s what we decided to do for our “second Christmas” dinner (we’re headed over in a week because the kids can’t make it home; friends of ours are hosting us for new years, so we’re going to provide dinner, and thought bbq would be ideal). So, he bought a whole brisket to take home and freeze till we get there. 1) people on his train keep asking him what’s in the bag, because it smells amazing. 2) check out the price…comes out to around $36 a pound. Sheeeeeeit.
  10. Was hoping to watch on a TV, but my plan was pretty basic: run an HDMI cable from my phone to the TV.
  11. So, we have to do “second Xmas” over there this year, due to kiddo travel issues. We will be at a friend’s house on New Year’s Day, and would love to watch the game there. My spectrum app won’t work over there, and I tried to test it out using my VPN (NordVPN), and the app won’t let you log in through that VPN. Anyone know a workaround that actually works? Am happy to download and pay for some other app that grants ESPN access, but I suspect that I’ll need to use a VPN ultimately, because unless it’s a native app over there, it won’t connect. Or…is there a VPN that works for these purposes?
  12. Goddammit. Just let em walk down and score. 3rd quarters suck. We shouldn’t have event anymore. Just two fourth quarters.
  13. Need our defense to be…our defense. Giving up way too much yardage.
  14. Elon feeds anti-immigrant rage. Elon endorses new Nazi party AfD as “Europe’s only hope.” Hours later, enraged AfD sympathizer launches terror attack at Christmas market, killing 5, injuring 200. Elon is a stochastic terrorist, openly and proudly evil, and the most dangerous man on the planet. If you stand with him in any way, you stand with stochastic terrorism and open naziism.
  15. This “let Elon run the world” thing is going fucking GREAT. Two days ago, he wholeheartedly endorses the new German Nazi party, AfD: “"The traditional political parties in Germany have utterly failed the people," he wrote in another post. "AfD is the only hope for Germany.”” Less than 48 hours later: https://apnews.com/article/germany-christmas-market-attack-magdeburg-taleb-31987cebcd72ab6781da2edf15dc6538 Attack on a Christmas market. 5 dead. 200 injured. Attack by whom? The suspect: “On social media, he appeared to have expressed anti-Islam views and support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).” Fucking apartheid Nazi endorses new Nazi party, feeds anti-immigrant rage, sympathizer of new Nazi party promptly murders innocents in act of rage. Elon is a stochastic terrorist. Elon Musk is the most dangerous man on the planet, and is pure evil. Oh, my daughter is presently at a Christmas market just a couple of hours away from the site of Elon’s stochastic terrorist attack. She messaged us to let us know that security is MUCH higher than it was when she hit the market Tuesday night. And people are a bit on edge. Gotta love this timeline. Yall Elon stans, keep supporting an open and proud stochastic terrorist. Know that you stand with the terrorists. And know that we see you.
  16. [surly] It’s piss. [/surly]
  17. 100%. If you don’t realize that if Elon said “armed patriots, you must attack the evil liberals at Berkeley to save America!”, we’d have dead people at Cal before the day was out, you haven’t been paying any attention. He’s the most evil, dangerous man alive.
  18. There’s lots of other good stuff on the menu. Solid CFS and CFC, really good meatloaf, good catfish. When they have gumbo on special, it’s good. Will always have a soft spot for Hoovers - we were having dinner with friends there the night my wife went into labor with my daughter.
  19. Allowing Tesla to do whatever it wants in Austin will be made a condition of Austin retaining its municipal status. The governor will make that clear to city leadership. “Allow whatever Elon wants, and we won’t turn Austin into a ‘state district.’” Mark my words.
  20. Yeah, the rest of their bbq is fine. But the chicken is genuinely outstanding. If you want to get a side of jalapeño creamed spinach, that would be a good call too.
  21. Best bbq chicken in town? Hoovers. Yes, Hoovers.
  22. Blah blah blah “watch episode 3.”
  23. God. I miss the days when our crackpots were benign and fun. Used to LOVE listening to that show. I still remember the caller who went into a detailed explanation of the Galactic university system, and how different universities specialized in different things, and once Earth fully entered the galactic community, we’d have incredible educational opportunities. It was delusional insanity, but damn…it sounded nice. And I bet Texas woulda fared well in the expanded CFB playoff there.
  24. Not complicated. Simple message. “Because fuck you, peasants. Especially you lesser black peasants.” Seriously. This is first-order message sending here. Same with Abbott’s pardon of Daniel Perry. These are not coincidences.
