  1. I don't fault your logic in forming that opinion, but 10 months is a long time, especially for our goldfish-sized attention spans. I've got no doubt that a Trump victory is dishearteningly conceivable, but it's far from a done deal. IMO it's simply too early to tell.
  2. He would've shared it, but he forgot it in the safe with Trump's Obamacare replacement.

    Andy Bongo

    Her music isn't my personal jam, but there's no denying she's a superstar and I can't help but admire the following she's amassed by having some genuine talent and working her ass off.
  4. I'd prefer him in a cell, and not having to listen to his stump speech. Another self/elf alternative, for the Canadians/Letterkenny fans
  5. It's pretty rich that you say this then go on in the next paragraph to make a false/moronic accusation about the Ukraine prosecutor.
  6. Even by your standards, that's pretty weak dude
  7. You're asking why they're not using wind and solar to build the equipment to build out the infrastructure for wind and solar? Again, Brent makes the case that wind and solar aren't here to support 100% of our energy needs right out of the gate and so they're not viable options. And again I'll ask: did you keep the receipt for that MBA?
  8. The Fox 'n Friends got all bent out of shape when Target had a gay Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is many things, but straight ain't one of them.
  9. I watch a lot more Fox News than I'd like to. In TX it's often on in a restaurant if we go out for lunch, half the time it's on in the lobby of my office. If that's your source for 'real news', Democrats are incompetent, weak, authoritarian, super-evil-geniuses, country-haters and bad-breath-having pedophiles (it's a fun game they have, you can mix up those options in different combinations). I think if that's your reality as a starting point, then why would you ever support a Democrat? I imagine this stunt by Paxton will be a bit of a wakeup call to some, but I wouldn't bet on it being enough to move the needle.
  10. An unnamed author of a story in a South African news site talks about declining sales for one month and that's the best you can do. I guess you're scraping the bottom of the interwebs for anything that supports your position. Meanwhile, after 12 consecutive months of record-breaking temperatures and you're still denying that pattern. Who says trolls can't be at least mildly entertaining?
  11. Another reinforcement of our decision not to have children...I'm off to write a thank-you note to my urologist.
  12. There may be an easier way to stop being called a troll. Think hard and deep, it just might come to you.
  13. That's some Grade 'A', Tucker Carlson level chicken-shit BS....
  14. You're starting to sound like Winsor with that talk. EV's are the future for a number of practical reasons, before you even factor in the environmental impact. You seem dead set on charging ahead as if climate science is bunk, and there's an infinite supply of fossil fuels to continue on our merry way. Not to 'I know you are but what am I?' your post, but the climate deniers have a lot more in common with religion. Facts and science be damned, you're holding fast to your beliefs! You'll be old/gone before we're out of fossil fuels, so no point in trying to make life livable without them eh?
  15. BH was on here roughly 3 months after the Inflation Reduction Act was passed, clutching his pearls at the lack of change after spending all that taxpayer money. It's the shit that makes you wonder if he's legit trolling or if he really doesn't understand.
  16. So you're part of the lefties' war on Toyotathon!?!?!?! Let's not lose sight of the reason for the season!
  17. Thereby having his cake and eating it too. He got in a sound bite for everybody!
  18. I partly agree with what you're saying, but one part of the flip-side argument is that Biden represents 100% of people who have defeated Trump in a presidential election. If it comes down to Biden v Trump, it's a question of 'successful statesman politician grandpa' vs 'vindictive insurrectionist grandpa'. It's not like Trump is representing the youths, and despite his doctors' claims that he's healthier than any olympian they've ever examined, I'd put money on Trump popping his clogs ahead of Biden if a gripper's gonna take one of them down. Not that my Texan vote will matter, but it'll be for Biden.
  19. Nah I think King's on a time-out, haven't seen him in a minute

    Cats

    It's just 'cause they forgot to neuter the little fuckers

    Cats

    Fair enough. I don’t like the thought of dead birds either, but cats are predators and hunters ‘gonna hunt. The best way to minimize the damage is to control the feral population, and the best way to do that is TNR.

    Cats

    TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) is the most effective way to deal with feral cats. Take a trapped cat in to a TNR facility and they'll give them shots, spay/neuter and cut off the tip of the left ear...The tipped ear is an internationally recognized indicator that the animal is fixed. TNR lets the animals go about their business (after a shitty day or two) and keep living their best kitty lives, killing rodents and other pests (and unfortunately, the occasional bird) while keeping the population from completely ballooning out of control. Years ago I built a jig that could be bolted onto a live animal trap. It had a solenoid to actuate the door of the trap, and a Bluetooth SOC where when an animal entered the trap, I'd get an alert on my phone and then could confirm what animal was in there and if it's the one I was trying to catch, actuate the door from the app. The idea was to keep from trapping a possum or trapping a cat that's already been fixed if there were multiple cats around. I think part of the reason it never went much further than my back yard and a few people in the local TNR community was that most TNR people are retirees volunteering their time, and they weren't super huge on new technology.
  23. A good economy doesn't mean every single company is growing like gangbusters. Looking through that list, the majority of companies are tech firms that grew like gangbusters during the pandemic and are now adjusting to the new normal where people are actually going outside more. Some of them are new leadership coming in and shaking things up. Some are Binance: if you wanna pin layoffs at a crypto exchange with a fraudster CEO (yeah, another one) on the general economy then there's no point in going further. The one thing on that list that does get my attention is Opendoor laying off 22% of their workforce, citing the high interest rates that are keeping the real estate market cool. With inflation coming under control, here's hoping we can stick that soft landing...
