  1. But I guarantee you he knows that color they are.
  2. Had to clean out our closet so we could finally get the full closet re-do that the wife has wanted. In the back of my T-shirt cabinet, found this gem, that had gotten shoved to the back and forgotten after being worn maybe once: It’s at the front of the new cabinet, and is in the rotation now.
  3. Just remember: this is who they are. All of them. Some may tell you “that’s wrong, and I don’t support it”….yet they will continue to support it and vote for it without fail. Right, @Enchubben ?
  4. “People call him the Great Gatsby. I don’t know about that, I’m greater. But he really is a tremendous gatsby, maybe the greatest gatsby, lots of people are saying. Really great.” Holy fucking shit. Seriously, what in the actual fuck?
  5. Being racist pieces of shit is their entire identity. But the GQP isn’t racist, right @Enchubben ?
  6. The boy’s girlfriend is German-Georgian (and thus…hates Russia). He visited her for Halloween, thought yall would enjoy the costumes and theme:
  7. Sigh. A true passing of an era. Hook ‘em for eternity, Scott.
  8. No ghosts for me. But two visitations on the night they died. First was my childhood dog. He still lived at home with my folks. I was on spring break with my now-wife in NOLA. Woke up, and told her about a super-vivid dream I had about my dog. We spent a log time in the open field behind my house, where he used to love to run. Again, it was so vivid, I told her about it. A couple days later, we head back to Austin and make a stop at my parents’ house. We get in, and I ask about my dog. My mom shakes her head. “He died in his sleep while you were gone.” Yep, on the night I had my dream. But the one that still bugs me is my friend who was in my dream the night he was murdered (he was beaten to death by a crooked cop he’d gotten mixed up with, but nobody could make any charges go anywhere). We were not super close, but we had a friendship that was based on mutual respect and deep trust. He was a smart dude. In my dream, we were being chased by some sinister dudes through West Campus. It was fucking intense and terrifying. At one point, we made it to an alley where we caught a breather, and we decided that it made sense to split up. We did, and after a while, I realized nobody was after me, I’d shaken them. So I started looking for Tom. I couldn’t find him. I looked all over. I woke up upset that I couldn’t find him. He was found in a coma that morning, after being beaten overnight. He died two days later, never regaining consciousness. I’d never had a dream with him in it before or since.
  9. Resign? Dude is a MAGA god: "Fuck you, I got mine!"
  10. It's not complicated. He's just another embodiment of the Republican id. No loyalty to any values or person other than himself. An entire party built around the virtues of being a sociopath.
  11. Imagine a job where you literally only do the parts you like, and none of the parts that you don't, and you're not answerable to anyone for it. Now, imagine that among people in this state who hold that job, you are the most highly paid. If that sounds good to you, you should march down to APD hiring posthaste.
  12. Seriously. Everything about him is "petulant toddler," including his tastes. He's locked in on shit that 8 year olds like. Fuck, I remember thinking I liked musical theater because we took a school trip when I was 8 to see Oklahoma, starring John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame. Turns out, I was just a fucking idiot 8 yr old who liked the Dukes of Hazzard. "Featuring John Schneider!" ain't nearly the selling point to me that it was when I was a kid. Trump? He never got past that mental era.
  13. But then, one would be mistaken to think of Tesla as a "major manufacturer." Seriously, they fail at much of the elementary blocking-and-tackling parts of being a car manufacturer.
  14. PREACH. Not entirely wrong, but some of us think the toxic stew of "entitlement but no accountability" that is the time-honored recipe cooked up by our leadership class needs to be tossed out whenever it can. And yeah, I get the irony that if more of us would just show up and vote against some of these candidates (don't blame me, I vote in every election) it would help. But I innately fucking bristle at the constant approach of "give me everything, and don't you dare expect me to account for shit." Actually.....going back to your first comment, that might as well be APD's motto. Give us all the money, and unlimited power, and zero accountability. In fact, if you subject us to ANY accountability, we'll "quiet quit."
  15. Be careful where you're treading, motherfucker.... Hitting a bit close to home and all that.
  16. ....until the Kennedy Center starts featuring a slate of wrasslin', UFC fights, and indoor monster truck rallies featuring the "Dildozer."
  17. This is la verdad, my friend. That said, when my wife pulled up to the house one day, and came in and asked me "what is that coat hanger sticking out the back of your car?" And I answered "you mean my new antenna?" She just shook her head and said "sometimes I forget how mexican you really are." I couldn't have been more proud. But yeah.....that's just classic working-class engineering all the way around. Which, again, is a class that Elon has nothing but contempt for.
  18. This works in Texas, too. And add "parking lot full of police cars" to the list of good signs. EXCEPT....for a super-shitty (and apparently, now-defunct) "barbecue" joint in Comanche. Saw 5 squad cars in the lot, and pulled over to grab a snack even though I'd eaten lunch. Was served a sad slice of gray, wet brisket out of a crockpot. It was actually worse than it looked. Every one of those cops should have their peace officer's license revoked for eating at that place.
  19. Also the home of Jackson Heights' own Randy Watson.... So, that's pretty good.
  20. You can bet against an AI bubble through various strategies like shorting individual AI stocks (especially those with weak fundamentals like C3.ai or BigBear.ai), shorting AI-focused ETFs (like AIQ), or using options like put spreads on high-beta AI stocks. Another approach is to invest in traditional, non-AI sectors expected to perform well during a downturn, such as utilities, commodities, or defensive sectors. A more defensive strategy involves reducing exposure to big tech stocks and rebalancing portfolios toward cheaper, more stable assets, like value stocks or bonds. I mean.....that's what Google's AI search result told me.
  21. Also, when you reach the "we're going to use some creative and maybe/maybe not legal 'financing' vehicles/mechanisms/schemes for the sole reason of avoiding transparency/mandatory disclosures" phase, you're entering the end-game. These schemes are not being deployed because the companies can't get financing, because there's no money, etc. They're being deployed so that the disclosed picture does not reveal the actual debt load behind the curtain. When you have to start hiding shit, things are about to get fucky.
  22. It'll be released. In two weeks.
