    We talking South African swallow and Eurasian crag-martin or what? Monty Python really could have used some work on his taxonomy.

    Question about the Hispanic vote that may or may not be a thing. What is the greatest factor in the significant Trump support in Texas? Machismo culture that's attracted to Trump specifically, fuck you, got mine or highly religious group of people voting against abortion?

    After having some pre-term labor scares early, now that we're at 38W3D, seems like it's never going to happen. Really nothing to complain about making it well into term, but time is craaaaaawling (says the dad who isn't lugging around an incredibly active baby in their abdomen).

    Current neighborhood sign count in my Round Rock neighborhood... Trump/Cruz: 2 Harris: 2 RFK: 1. We'll see if they decorate their yard for Halloween with scary whale skulls and spooky bead carcasses

    I guess I misrembered. I'm all for it, just thought I remembered it was a random line you had drawn for some reason. Apologies.

    I seem to recall you saying political apparel is lame not too long ago. Hypocrite.

    I'm sure this had been discussed multiple times on other threads, but when are game times announced?

    This will either be my last game with only one child or my first game with a 2nd child. Either way, I will be sober and tired.

    Is there any way to record the game? This is so stupid.

    If Kamala wins 400 EVs, I will find out what my true minimum refractory period is.

    You're a fucking idiot. Get the hell out of here!

    Goddamn, I wish I could vote in September.

    Vanity light installation question. I'm replacing a super dated fixture and was going to use the same light I had placed in another bathroom, as seen below. However, it mounts onto just the little metal strip that fits in the outlet box, or whatever it is called. Unfortunately, as you can see, it is not aligned with the bathroom counter and this sort of mount does not allow me to shift it the couple inches to the side I need to in order to center. For other vanity lighting with longer bases/covers for the wiring portion, do they typically come with a mounting system that would allow me make that 2-3" shift? The previous light was definitely centered, and I believe it came with some sort of mounting plate that I guess allowed the light to not be centered directly over the outlet box.

    Thanks @Js1 for collecting all the polling info and dropping it here. Also, what's the drinking strategy for 11/5? I'm thinking nurse low abv beers all night, shots for swing states, then champagne if it's a Kamala win and pure ethanol if it's Trump. I won't know what to do if it drags on for days.

    It was surprisingly nice out this morning. And now that it's 930, I will not be venturing out again.

    My kids are 2 and nearly born, so perhaps they won't remember when things weren't entirely fucked. Silver lining!

    In answer to the new site motto, I don't know what the fuck a warhawk is, but I would suggest ULM to give their name a little tweak to firehawk. Imagine, you're on your ranch in the Australian outback, watching a wildfire make its way to your property. Then, by a stroke of luck, it starts to burn out. You're safe! But what's that, a fucking black kite picking up a burning stick and carrying it past the extinguishing fire line, to start a new fire in order to flush up prey? God damn it...

    His #26 and lean frame are really confusing at first watch, but he certainly took advantage of the time he had on the field.

    After Michigan, IrishWristWatch came out guns ablazing about how the Mannings weren't going to be happy. Leading up to Saturday's game, brojangles didn't know if he could get up for the game, after happily doing so for a decade-plus of mediocrity. Now we're #1 and Arch just put up 5 TDs. Looking forward to see who has got the hottest take this week!

    Hopefully on 1/20/25, right after he watches President Kamala Harris get sworn in.

    Toward the end of grad school, when I was basically just waiting to graduate and wanted to get out of my parent's house, I worked a few months at a dine-in theater near Greenspoint. It was the first time at a job, school or residence that I was in the minority. It was great and I wish I had that experience sooner/more frequently. The people who find themselves around other folks who don't look like them and find it unsettling are... weird.

    No response emoji available encapsulates my feelings as I started reading this while bringing a spoonful of yogurt and granola to my mouth. Maybe the rage emoji flipping a middle finger while projectile vomiting?

    Would be nice if this could be a campaign topic at all. But in order to appease as many potential swing state voters as possible and save our democracy, climate is taking even more of a backseat than usual.
