  1. I mean.... It's all fucking insane. Every single word, every single second. But none of it fucking matters. We've handed the entire country to a deranged lobotomized lower primate who is steering it based on misfiring neurons, and nobody seems to give a shit.
  2. If we had any of those....my grandpa sure as shit didn't provide me any. He took great pleasure in subjecting us "soft city kids" to the grittier parts of ranching life. Wouldn't have done any good anyway. Once everything flew out at once, I looked like the end of Men in Black.
  3. Yep. Had to pull a calf with a come along, and had to pull one with my grandpa's LTD Crown Vic. Both calves lived, both mamas died. Heavy duty and messy shit both times. Especially when we pulled with the car, because that calf popped/flew out, hit me in the chest, and I was covered head to toe in cow gunk. Just walked over to the stock tank, took my boots off, and walked right in to wash off the worst of it.
  4. He's a royal. All royals should be beheaded. I'm an American. Fuck kings, fuck royalty, fuck all the way off. I bow to no man. Sharpen the guillotine.
  5. I looked into it, and it appears to be mostly true - Bojangles is phasing out bone-in chicken. It's still available at some locations, but none of the newer ones. That's some commie America-hating bullshit.
  6. Well, when reality is stealing all your best bits of satire, it's a fucking challenge.
  7. Pretty sure a lot of their "solution" was buying them a bus ticket to Austin. Not sure Austin can use that strategy. Oh, I don't know. I can absolutely see our leadership deciding that we should give homeless people in Austin a bus ticket to Austin.
  8. All it takes is for one time -- one fucking time -- for the Dems to call their bluff. The Repubs keep putting a gun to the head of the American people, saying "we'll shoot the hostage." And the Dems, because they actually care about the American people (to some extent at least) always fucking cave to the threat. Well, fuck that. Call the bluff. Give the Repubs two choices: (1) come to the table and restore the ACA spending, or (2) go ahead, shoot the hostage. The Dem mistake has always been that they've thought that capitulating could avoid pain. It can't. It just means the pain is slower and more insidious. Rip the fucking bandaid off, and make the Republicans be terrorists in broad fucking daylight.
  9. Yep. That's the evil hell of wars of attrition. It's less about who wins, than it is about who loses the most.
  10. This is the play. Militarily, Russia can continue to make gains -- small ones, but gains nonetheless -- at a heavy price. Ukraine's strategy is, and must be, NOT to recapture/capture territory, but to make the costs to Russia across the board so steep that their economy and/or regime collapses. Ukraine is not at war with the Russian military as much as it is at war with the Putin regime and the Russian economy. Defeat those things, and the Russian military becomes irrelevant.
  11. I'm thinking that the new training component is the "shoot American civilians if we tell you to, do not question your orders" part. That's the really, really important part. Truly the only important part.
  12. And if you’ve ever had to do that….yeesh. Not a fun experience. Cow juice up to your shoulders.
  13. Yeah, our family's shitty metal peeler from the 1970s had that. But the Oxo blade is serrated, sharper, and more robust, and the wider grip genuinely helps. But I peeled plenty of carrots and potatoes with this back in the day, it worked okay.
  14. Well, of course not. That's a tufted titmouse thing.
  15. That's genuinely one of our amusing side notes when we travel, esp. to northern europe: any of their takes on mexican or Texas food. It's usually.....quite sad and funny.
  16. First time I went shopping in the UK, I wandered the Sainsbury for 15 minutes looking for eggs. Finally gave up and asked. They were sitting on the room-temp endcap right next to me.
  17. I've been involved with a couple of MDL matters, but none where a suit was filed this late in the process. I presume their will be some movement to remove this new case to the live MDL?
  18. So....yeah....being that Paxton based his suit on RFK's positions, that quote will be the opener of multiple motions by the defense.
  19. Voted yesterday. Yes on 1, 4, and 10. No on everything else.
  20. And every single one of the Jade Helm No Gestapo in Bastropo types will masturbate furiously to.....EXACTLY what they were complaining about back then. Every "constitution-loving, liberty-loving" conservative is actually a simpering fucking liar. They love neither. Tread on me, daddy.
  21. If we're going to start giving naming rights to Texas schools, the sponsors should match the quality offered. Welcome to Dollar General Elementary. Do well, and you'll move up to Golden Chick Middle School.
  22. Vic Mackey's interest is piqued....
  23. Dude. Profits, PE ratios, all that shit? Those are for woke losers. It's all vibes, and only vibes these days. Do you FEEL like it should be worth $1 trillion? Then it IS worth $1 trillion! Which is actually a true statement and thing, but embedded in that is the bubble. Because profits and PE ratios are real things. They exist, are empirical, and do not change (that is, your PE ratio last quarter is what it is, and your PE ratio next quarter is what it is, based on actual measurable metrics). Feelings, on the other hand.....can go "poof." Today, we feel like it's worth $1 trillion, and it is. Tomorrow, we feel like it's worth $1 . . . and it is. That's how you bubble, that's how you burst, and that's how you crash.
  24. That McMahon quote isn't real, right?
  25. 100%. Checking out local grocery stores is a whole thing for us. Gives you a real snapshot into local culture and life. Some amusement from Finland, for example:
