    The simple fact that proves all the mythology of Texas exceptionalism false is that they continue to elect Ted Cruz to public office. 

    You have the wrong myth.   You're looking for the myth of Texas fuckery.

    Ha ha.  I'll trade you gerrymandered Lance for gerrymandered VanDuyne.

  3. The Song of Achilles (2011)

    I guess I liked the idea behind the book, but Patroclus was such a dud of a character for most of the book it just didn't work.

    Perhaps more importantly.

  4. I think it's simpler than that.  I think they feel like they can get people who actually like this shit to move here.  You keep the home grown minorities down and uneducated and replenish the white power areas with assholes who want to move to an asshile state.

    So at what point is this fuckery a direct violation of our states constitution? It is part of our state governments mandate to "make suitable provision for the support and maintenance of an efficient system of public free schools"

    Your UT degrees aren't going to be worth shit in a couple of years.

    Cannot encourage peeps to get one enough. I did my first one back in 2014....scored a 70 and my GP said, work on your diet, etc. fast-forward to last year it was something like 700 or a 1000. Went to a Cardiologist and he ordered a Nuke Strees test which showed a healthy heart but Arterial Occlusion. went to the CATH Lab...LAD was 100% occluded, CRX was 90%, RCA was over 80%. Mind you....I felt great and had no outward signs of heat issues.

     

    Want to know what the survivability rate is for a LAD Cardiac Event if you are not in a Cardiac Care center? 12%

     

    I had three stents put in, in and out the same day, two sessions. Now its as if they were not occluded. crazy shit

    Sweet Jesus.

    How have the stents limited any of your activity?  Although my GP wanted me to just see what the statins and weight loss did, and didn't recommend seeing a cardiologist, he agreed when I told him I was ruminating and surfing the web and freaking out a bit. 

    I don't kill myself in the gym, but I enjoy a 15 mile bike ride and a 20K steps walk and a 2000 yard swim without really thinking about it.  If you told me I could continue those activities even with stents/bypass, I probably wouldn't be so anxious. 

     

     

  7. Yeah, from a dietary standpoint, the biggest issue I have, now that I've gone from thinking all I have to do is not be stupid is now to be proactively smart, is going to be the baked goods.  I've always been a bread guy, and now I'm trying to limit myself to some whole grain stuff as a treat now and then. Yay avocado toast.

    I got to an Iraqi bakery to pick up Samoon bread, so I'm gong to have to figure out if that can play into things a bit.

    My GP told me not to worry, that as long as I was feeling healthy, and still losing weight, he didn't think I'd need increased testing or referrel to a cardiologist unless I had issues with getting the LDL down after taking the statin or just developed some other issues. 

    I'm thinking with the test results I got, I am going to feel better finding a good young cardiologist who is not going to retire before I win the Cenenarian Decathalon. 

  8. Fabelmans (2022)

    Pretty disappointing I thought.  I thought the problem was the two lead parents.  But mostly Spielburg's usual gift for the comedy of youth seemed really spotty at best.

    I thought the Aggie Christian girl was the only great thing in the film.

    Trump: I’m scared to go to Ireland.
     

    What an alpha. 

    We just got back from Ireland last month, and a big surprise was on the way driving back to Dublin, our gas gauge was at 3/4 full, so my wife was panicking about petrol.  We pulled off at Moneygall, and were delighted to end up at the Obama Travel Plaza.  It was totally unexpected and fucking great.  Would love to see one in Waco.

    I'm hoping Biden gets his own Plaza.
