  1. Stripes. Still funny. Droll Bill Murray is so good. Army recruiter: all right, now if you’ll just give Uncle Sam your autographs right here.... Winger: Sammy, get well soon
  2. I keep asking that question in my head and to my close friends and we can't find a good answer. A close black woman friend asked me that and truth be known, I was embarrassed at what she was asking. Why did it take us this long? Maybe years from now philosophers or sociologists will figure it out but until then, all I have is this august body of intellectual heavyweights. I didn't see the Floyd video until late the day it happened as I was busy. As bad as it was (and this will sound horrible), it didn't seem any worse than the others over the past few years. I cynically thought we'd have a weeks worth of internet memes and we'd move on to something else like we always have. Yet, much to my pleasant surprise, we decided we ain't havin' it anymore. The question is why now? Was it a culmination of recent cases? Is it that we're all sitting at home anyway? My personal theory (and this applies to me) is that we as a country are on our last fucking nerve right now for obvious reasons. We then looked up one day and saw that some people think it's still business as usual. That's my best offering. What does everyone else think? Thanks. I'll hang up and listen.
  3. Now hear me out- it would take some getting used to, that's for sure, but I think the long term benefits of doing away with Wednesdays would outweigh whatever temporary adjustment period there may be. Here's how and why: We divide up the 24 hours from Wednesday evenly among the other six days. Days are now 28 hours long, necessitating a switch to military time. Instead of working five days a week/eight hours a day, you now work 4 days a week/10 hours per day. The work week is M, T, Th, F, and the weekends are still Saturday and Sunday. Now everyone has more time to get shit done, and more time to sleep as well. With 28 hours in a day the need for 8 consecutive hours of sleep will be a thing of the past, as twice-daily 4-6 hour naps become the norm. And all because we did away with dumb old Wednesday, everyone's least favorite day of the week. So who's with me??
  4. "Playing with the Yankees? " "Yes, playing with the Yankees. You lose good men to trades, unruly fans...i don't want to talk about it "
  5. Let's set the parameters as, football will be played. Normal season as scheduled. You have to wear a mask, take it off and you get tossed. Do you go?
  6. I think AMC May be first https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/4/28/21240637/amc-theaters-universal-trolls-world-tour-disney-warnermedia-digital-streaming
  7. Dr. Schlotkin! What? We're done with you. Go back to the golf course and work on your putz.
  8. Other than cedar oil and a flame thrower what is the next best option?
  9. I forgot to ask mine a question and she's a pain in the ass to get in touch with. She said bifocals would help with reading next time I got new glasses. She put "Can add 1.50 bifocal" on the RX so I can order them that way, or not. I have contacts that are -2.50 in both eyes. Not progressive or for astigmatism or anything. What kind of readers, if any, would help for up close shit while my contact are in? I usually have to take off my glasses to read really small print, so obviously if i have in contacts, I can't see small print very well.
  10. I pretty much know the answer to this – no, we should not – but I'm curious what people's thoughts are on dog ownership and I'd love for someone to play devil's advocate. Our family of four ( with a 2-year old and 4-year old) lives in a 2,200 sq foot house in the middle of the city. We have a fenced-in backyard and there are tons of trails and parks nearby, though the closest off-leash park is a couple of miles away. We love to go on long walks as a family and I jog as well. We would only adopt a rescue that's at least 2 years old and good with children (at least according to their foster family's description, which I realize might not be terribly accurate). In non-pandemic times, we both work outside the home, though I work from home at least once a week. Are there any dogs that are actually okay by themselves, or is every dog going to be generally miserable living in solidarity for 40 or so hours/week? Does having small children make it a non-starter? I'll hang up and listen.
  11. Site will have planned downtime 04/14/20 Does anyone have any details on this? What am I supposed to do during this outage? WORK.....thanks Obama @immamac
  12. Now that it's on Netflix it's getting a whole shit-ton of new viewers, and deservedly so. Amazing show for the first three seasons. Great characters, great writing, and some of the best singular episodes of sitcom TV i've ever seen. Also a whole bunch of great gags. Here's one of my favorites- "Notches"
  13. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/09/us/politics/coronavirus-is-threatening-one-of-governments-steadiest-services-the-mail.html I haven’t been following this but alarms are being raised. Hope rural America is ready for the death/privatization of the mail.
  14. And Ring catches a lot of the action.. One gets his ass kicked in the front yard and the other dies from a gunshot to the gut.

  15. I thought about putting this under the "economy thread" from last year but the pressure on oil prices make Houston unique in the potential effect. And it's not going to be good. The only other economy that might be impacted as much by oil prices will be Louisiana. Now I'm an old fart and I had just come up to UT in '79 and saw the collapse of the oil industry and the devastation that the oil downturn took upon the town. Many of the people we had know from Church and other activities lost their jobs because they were the older better compensated people at the oil and gas companies, my father included. With Russia and Saudi Arabia now going to simply pump all the oil they can trying to keep their economies afloat, oil is now officially in the shitter. Malls had no foot traffic and the cascade of lack of disposable income made a once vibrant city a ghost town. Parsley energy here in Austin mainly a shale player had their stock open down 50% this morning. Shell's off another 15% on top of last weeks losses and shale oil today is now more expensive to produce than to sell. It's been great for the Texas economy growing oil and gas production, but the moves in the oil industry alone are extremely concerning. Add in the likely world wide reduction in need for oil and bloating supply as a result means downward pressures on price is not near the bottom yet. I bought and flipped a house in Corpus last year (world's slowest flip, with the most fishing for me in my lifetime) and I have been looking hard at buying another one. Today I just put the brakes on that, wanting to see what shakes out. Lots of worker bee oil and gas money in Corpus still, but I think a lot of those jobs are now doomed to disappear on OPEC's actions alone. We are in a strange way about to be the victims of our own success. Putting downward pressure on oil prices with less regulation, and increasing in production has made us the largest producer in the world. Unfortunately our gains were made using new technologies and drilling techniques, to reach oil that was previously unprofitable to recover. So the dip in prices wipes all all profitability, on shale production in the state. I am very afraid that Houston is going to get pounded this downturn. Factor in the added stresses on the industry and the city of coronavirus. The 1980's oil bust left lasting mark on Houston . 2016 article on the downturn I am really worried for my old hometown. Houston has diversified, but oil and gas is still the life'd blood of the city. With no pressure in sight that might push prices up (unless a war starts) not sure where the bottom will be for oil. Nervous for Texas this go round. We largely avoided the real pain of the last recession. Think we might get a real whammy this go round. Why Saudi Arabia has started a Global crude oil price war Just more info on part of the political why behind the collapse of oil prices.
  16. Purge alert...again. A purge of princes and aides continued across Saudi Arabia on Saturday after the kingdom’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, claimed to have foiled a coup being plotted by two of the country’s most senior royals – widely seen as among the few left standing in the way of his ascension. Prince Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz, the only full brother of the monarch, King Salman, and Mohammed bin Nayef, who was heir to the throne until being ousted by Prince Mohammed, face treason charges after being accused of organising against the ambitious heir. Their arrest on Friday shocked the country and sparked a new round of speculation about the 84 year old king’s hold on the throne. Exiled dissidents suggested Prince Mohammed’s announcement masked an imminent push to take power from his father. The claims were given impetus by royal court insiders, one of whom suggested through a source that the moves against the two princes were made as a preventative measure, following a sudden deterioration in the King’s health. However, those claims were firmly denied by officials inside Saudi Arabia. King Salman, is believed to have signed the warrants that justified his brother’s arrest and that of the man slated to replace him until Prince Mohammed was drafted in, following a palace coup in 2017, and named crown prince. Since then Prince Mohammed, now 34, has assiduously eliminated threats against him, most famously by later that year locking up much of the country’s business elite in the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh, including senior royals, who were forced to sign over assets. Some were also stripped of their positions. A year later, in the aftermath of the murder by Saudi agents of Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, Prince Ahmed was lured back to Saudi Arabia after many years living in exile in London. Known as a critic of the crown prince, his return was hailed as a sign that the hard-charging heir was prepared to tolerate dissent – a claim widely rejected by critics at home and abroad. Prince Ahmed’s status as a brother of the king, and Mohammed bin Nayef’s former role as heir, had been thought to afford them both protection. Since being ousted, Mohammed bin Nayef had been prevented from leaving the kingdom and had spent much of his time at a country property outside Riyadh. His movements and those of his former aides have been closely monitored amid an expanding crackdown on dissent across all aspects of Saudi society. Throughout Prince Mohammed’s rise, King Salman had remained largely quiet, deferring to his son on extravagant state building projects and a cultural re-engineering that disavowed the hardline gender segregation and piety that had defined the modern Saudi state. He is known to have been at odds with Prince Mohammed over the Khashoggi murder, which the CIA believes was ordered by the crown prince, and on several appointments, but has made few decisive interventions amid the political purges. The Saudi leader hosted the foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, in the Saudi capital on Thursday and chaired a meeting of the council of ministers two days earlier, appearing composed in both meetings. His health has been the subject of repeated rumours, but recent visitors suggest he remains engaged with most subjects. Security forces set up roadblocks across the Saudi capital on Saturday, sparking fears of unrest in the wake of the arrests and unsubstantiated suggestions that Prince Mohammed may soon assume the throne. The king is known to be aiming to receive dignitaries for the G20 summit in Riyadh in November, a landmark event on the Saudi calendar. “It’s difficult to be 100% about what is going on,” said a former aide to a Saudi minister. “The bubble has been so well prepared. The king is so cloistered that no one knows for sure.” A former senior diplomat, well versed in Saudi palace intrigue, said the latest purge appeared to be part of a systematic approach to eliminating dissent as Prince Mohammed’s ascension drew near. Using an Arabic term, “Bani”, to suggest “tribe”, he said: “So he’s gone for the Bani Abdullah, Bani Fahd and Bani Sultan. Now it’s the Bani Nayef. There’s still a son of Saud bin Nayef [Mohammed bin Nayef’s brother] at the General Intelligence Presidency. He’ll have to go, too. This is like Baghdad in the 1960s.” In the late 60s Saddam Hussein launched a coup that purged Iraq’s monarchy and consolidated himself as leader for more than three decades.
  17. The fam and I are going to Europe this summer. We found out my Cards nut fan BIL and his family will be attending the Cards Cubs games in London, and he has an extra ticket, so I'm going to one of those games also. Anybody else going to be there? I'll be the guy in a UT cap. And the bigger question is: But why? Why have MLB games in London?
  18. Bernie Bros being toxic. Anti-Bernie Bros being toxic. Media figures being annoying. Giving ourselves emotional disorders online. Let's do it all here, outside of the primary thread where maybe policy and values discussion can happen and not be drowned out by discussions of who is being mean to whom. I'll start! Pod Save Jon Favreau, fresh off of siccing his 1.2M followers on a 7k follower nobody for dunking on Beto, is bemoaning Twitter for... being Twitter. Every day, I get up, get dressed, walk into a Waffle House and loudly say, "Boy, this sure isn't getting a Michelin star anytime soon!" and every time, I feel a little bit smarter
