  1. Track men doing what the swimmers couldn't. Closing strong all over the place.
  2. Holy fuck, I was in pain watching that. Insane willpower.
  3. My dad grew up in rural Minnesota, is incredibly handy, paid his way to technical school and gave us a comfortable and caring upbringing. He is so like Tim Walz in many ways, yet very likely is disgusted by him, for reasons I will make him articulate before this election.
  4. Question about painting baseboards... They're in decent shape, outside of door frames and windowsills, which have a decent amount of chipping. How thoroughly do I need to sand the chip-free areas prior to painting?
  5. Basically the only cycling I've watched this olympics was the last 8 km or so of that race. Great time to tune in.
  6. Oh yea, I guess she's been ok...
  7. That is absurd.
  8. Douglass and Huske carrying team USA in swimming.
  9. I know jack shit about soccer but that seemed clearly not a foul when I saw it live, and even less so on replay.
  10. Frenchman absolutely crushing it. That underwater on the last lap of a 200M butterfly is nuts.
  11. My wife has been laughing almost constantly for the last 2 days about how Trump says Pete Buttigieg's name at rallies.
  12. Ceremony grew on me as it went along, especially as it got dark. I missed the speech part, fortunately. Celine Dion crushed it. The Eiffel Tower looked amazing.
  13. Tiles are 1/4". At the hardware store I only ever see the diamond-edged hole saw bits, which is what I thought I need to go with. Is that correct? And the mounts you linked look pretty much like the ones that came with the shelves.
  14. Is there any specialized anchor that would be sufficient? The shelves are pretty heavy by themselves. I've also struggled to find anchors of adequate depth, as I believe I would need 3/4" for the 1/4" tile + 1/2" drywall(??).
  15. I brought this up briefly earlier, but does anyone have experience hanging floating shelves on a porcelain tile backsplash? I also only have one stud available so would need to use some anchors. The more I research this project, the more confident I feel that I will fuck it up.
  16. I love that Vance probably thought he was a piece of misswallowed Big Mac away from POTUS a few days ago. Now he's looking like a dumbass on the campaign trail and is a failed election away from hopefully dashing any hopes of sniffing the oval office in any capacity.
  17. Make it to the Gulf? They're already here
  18. So you're saying putting all the power of electing statewide officials in the hands of the 7% of Texans who live west of the 35 corridor is a bad thing?
  19. We have way surpassed House of Cards. Veep is less absurd than our current situation. Idiocracy is one choice, but we are reaching South Park levels of nonsensical.
  20. No, it didn't. And of course it does. An elderly narcissist is trying to pretend like he cares about anything other than himself while sprinkling in the hits for his base.
  21. I haven't been paying too close of attention, but Trump's speech has been pretty boring, honestly.
  22. PT Barnum was about 180 years too early. These are the real freaks.
  23. Icono/Macklemore playing the super long con. He's had to say truly despicable things to get us all to buy the bit, but this can no longer be a real person, right?
