    say what? Costs $25 with insurance, brother. I tell people it's like Tamiflu but for Covid.

    My specialist told me I was the 5th person in the last 24 hours when I reported I got the 'Vid. I got the Paxlovid and it took about 2.5 days for me to feel much better. Honestly it kicked my butt about the same as the first time I had it (OG strain, pre-vax). The Delta variant, my second covid, was easily the weakest and easiest. My neighbor has it, two of my kids friends have it, and I joined a work call yesterday where 3 of the 7 particpants had it. As disparate as Cali, Texas, New Jersey, so it's not just a regional thing, it seems.

    This is epic. How do you parlay this? Do you wait for them to come to you tail between legs? Or do you proactively send an email or eyes emoji their way? Either way, get your flowers on the next company All Hands

    To be honest I’m not that informed to get into a deep political conversation with this guy, but it was a shock. And this isn’t a neighborhood with any political signage at all, but certainly you wouldn’t think would be Trumpy. I’ll bring it up next time we speak; I’ve been hesitant

    I love the sentiment, but is it true he went golfing day after? I thought that was debunked.

    What is literally insane to me is I have a neighbor three doors down whom I love. He’s such a great guy and has a great family— they are Palestinian and by all accounts have been very successful financially in the 25 years they’ve been here (and I’ve seen their adult son with a Free Palestine shirt once when he visited). This guy told me last weekend he doesn’t like Biden and is voting Trump. wut

    Here is the irony in DFW: Darden buys Chuys at the expense of ole Eddie V’s, the original “sold out and got crappier” The Dallas location of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood is closing after 14 years on Oak Lawn Avenue. The restaurant’s last day of service will be July 28, CultureMap reported. Eddie V’s, which is owned by the same group over Olive Garden, Yard House, The Capital Grille and Seasons 52, first opened in Austin in 2000. The Dallas location opened in April 2010.

    I’m an idiot and old and not tech savvy so forgive me for being wrong here— it was cloudflare not crowdstrike who had the public flailing for mismanagement of a RIF.

    Remember, this was the company who mismanaged layoffs and made national news just mere months ago. This company doesn’t seem well run…. I think competitors will start eating their lunch (if they aren’t already I know next to nothing about the industry they are in. Maybe Splunk or WIZ or someone like that are competing?)

    Biden still has a lot of bullets in the gun before election that can give him tailwind: There WILL be a rate cut, which he can tout for fighting against inflation, the stock market will continue to do numbers, so he can keep talking about the best economy while inflation drops, the USA will dominate in the Olympics which always boosts patriotism and morale that Biden can ride, and the general incumbancy strength will be a buttress-- don't change horses in midstream.

    To be honest I was surprised a narcissist like Dotard who said POW's were losers would even honor the guy. I assumed he would give a passing mention, or worse yet, not mention at all, because that is who he is. I know the Fire Chief garners little (if any) sympathy because of his horrible tweets, etc., but at the end of the day he was still an innocent bystander and victim of gun violence, however thick the irony. He and his family didn't deserve his death. As I thought about it, I think the fact that he died by a bullet with Trump's name on it gave Trump a deeper appreciation and "kinship" dare I say, to the guy which is why you got the whole memorial pomp and circumstance.

    Trump's disastrous performance last night I think SHOULD have sealed the deal that Biden ain't dropping out. He can beat that.
  13. Vegas64
    Also, "The Wall" that Trump is ranting so much about has been funded and built by Biden more than himself. Yet another thing he falsely takes credit for. The worst is that the stock market is at an ALL TIME HIGH, almost daily it sets new PR's. How do you reconcile "the best econmy ever" with having lower stock market? I kept waiting to hear him try and address that but of course he never did.

    5 to 1 betting odds, you say.

    As a young man when I had the metabolism of an Olympic swimmer, I would pound the Chili's chips with their ranch. So maybe that explains my affinity for Chuy's chips and cilantro ranch. I've been conditioned.
  16. Vegas64
    The chips at Chili's are as close to perfect as one can get. Fresh chips at Chili's still wet from the grease is perfection, so I don't take your attempt at a dig, as a dig. That said, the chips of Chili's and Chuy's ARE actually quite similiar, and their strength.

    The Bee movie was really creepy too, now that you mention it. The only thing I remember about the promo of that ws Seinfeld being a jerk to Larry King (who may have deserved it).

    Speaking of Tex-Mex. I lament that Taco Diner is officially dead now with the last few spots being shuttered I believe now, but I was at HPV the other day and noticed that the cousin restaurant Mi Cocina's as taken the one thing I loved and incorporated it: Los Cabos Salad. Other than that, Mi Cocina's sucks. Their chips are stale and the salsa is average and the food is below average. I'd rather eat Chuy's than Mi Cocina's.
  19. Vegas64
    Their chips are fantastic and that creamy ranch stuff is like crack. Super underrated Tortilla soup as well.

    We really need the "eyes" emoji. This post gets that.
  21. Vegas64
    I'll caveat by saying 1) I agree with you competely just playign devil's advocate and b) I think our best bet is Biden/Harris still. But the question from your post is-- is she ATL / Detroit / Philly type black? To take from the recent reports from the other VP, she seems more likely to have a kid named Vivek than Darrel, and she was a former cop which the GQP memes as a horrible thing while also purporting to be the party of "Back the Blue" so the irony is THICK

    I know it's 30 years later, but somehow the Drudge Report gets inside information and leaks it first, so maybe this is something! I'm thinking, as memory serves, they were the ones that leaked the Monica Lewinsky back before "leaking online" was a thing.
  23. Vegas64
    Forget it you are wasting your breath. Women in politics are harrassed and body-shamed, whether it be this woman in the SS, Katie Porter, or Huckabee and even as ugly as going after children like Chelsea Clinton and Monica Lewinsky back in the day. This is who these people are.
  24. Vegas64
    I don't think that is Reese tbh.
  25. Vegas64
    I got about a 1/3 of the way before bailing for some reason and forgetting I was watching it. Definition of a "forgetable" movie. I wonder if it's not some avant garde, alt-next level satire, irony humor I don't get because I'm old.
