That’s cool but I just can’t get into the muscle truck thing.



Not my bag either. They kind of defeat the purpose of performance. If I want something fast and powerful, I don't want it to be heavy and have bad weight distribution and a high center of gravity.

But hey, to each their own.

For older individuals those drugs have an increased risk for pancreatitis and can have other significant side effects. If he's not diabetic, there's no need to be on it at his age.
When I was a kid, around 7 or 8 years old, I would go to the grocery store with my mom we'd commonly see a guy there that had Tourette's. I thought that guy was hilarious. We'd be walking down the aisle and hear someone scream "hairy count!" from a few aisles over. Made me laugh every time and my mom would give me a nasty look and tell me not to laugh.

Don't think I could go on a date with someone doing that over and over.

It's much easier these days to identify digital attempts at fraud than physical. Digital fraud detection happens in nearly real time as well. You have your risk scenario reversed.

We've moved from identity politics to grievance politics and these tax laws are just an extension of the grievances. They're foolish and short sided and will only end up punishing the people that can least afford it.

Lane and Coach O look a lot healthier now than they did at UT and USC.

Also, is Lane wearing golf shoes in that UT pic? Interesting choice.

It's a mixture of mental illness and drugs. Could be one, could be the other, many times both.

One of Reagan's great mistakes was closing the mental institutions. Did they have issues? For sure. But they at lest gave folks like this a place to be and potentially improve their lives without being and everyday drain on society. The financial impact would likely be less than what it is today with all the programs and grift around the situation.

Trying to keep up with this, Fallon and Colbert gone and Kimmel remains?



Fallon hasn't been cancelled, that I know of. He had a side project show called "On Brand" that was cancelled. But not his late night show.

Fallon is the least nauseating and political of the shows.
Won $50 a few times in the NC lottery scratch offs. Bought a bunch of tickets as sort of a throw in for gift for Christmas one year and a friend won $1,000 on one of them.

Interesting to see him win a seat and what he does politically. Thought he's done such a great job organizing, I'm not sure I want him out of that role.
I bought an Amazon type knockoff. Have to say that it works really well.

re: Why is the NBA so sloppy?

The NBA has become a game of winning a one on one matchup or playing for a three. That's it, that's the entire game right now. Barely any ball movement, barely any player movement. Just run down the court, see if you can win a matchup or look for a three.

Watching Spurs footage from 2000-2005 will show you how pathetic the game has become.

Pretty wild. If they're capable of shite like that they're essentially capable of like reprogramming reality.


The ability to exist in two places at the same time through an entangled partner is wild. Especially if there is an ability to engineer them. Truly messes with reality.

He says that the closest thing he could get to providing a description a human would understand of how it's done is if you imagine a rubick's cube, but on each of the tiles of the cube is a periodic table. He says if you want to go to Alpha Centauri you just configure the cube to match Alpha Centauri and you're there.

Anyways, it was a neat thought experiment if nothing else.


Kind of like Stargate the movie. Dial up the right coordinates and tap into the right frequencies and pass through the barrier. The discussion around UFOs, aliens, potential technology and the other stuff is fascinating to me. Inter-dimensional, teleportation, gravity manipulation all very entertaining.

I've kind of landed that there's a lot beyond our knowledge and what that all is, is just that, beyond our knowledge. Real of fake, there's no way to tell what any of it really is.

Suit buying is a pain in the arse.

If you spend all your money on one really nice one then you end up being that tub who wears the same suit everywhere


I used to have a job where I had to wear a suit every day. Mens Wearhouse, Jos. A Bank and Brooks Brothers were like a second home. I legitimately needed 10 suits and shirts or they would start to break down by the end of the year. You could tell the shlubs that went cheap an only bought 2 or 3 and bought them off the rack. They'd look like they were wearing old paper bags by the end of the year.

The MW are perfect for this. Go there, grab a couple when they have a sale, have them tailor it and you're good to go.

There is no underestimating how much more comfortable it is to wear something properly tailored.
They are definitely serviceable and if you either have to wear a suit everyday or only have to wear a suit a couple times a year, they are perfect.

if you wear a suit a few times a month, you probably only need one or two suits and it's probably better to spend a little more and get one that has material that lasts a little better and can hold up to extra rounds at the dry cleaner.

They may not be the most fashion forward suits, but they keep up decently with styles and cut. Overall good stuff for what they are.

Don't miss the Porsche Supercup races or like back in the day Ferrari Challenge races. They'll be the most exciting races of the entire weekend. Very aggressive driving and a lot of muscle pass type scenarios.

Sometimes the F2 and F3 races are much more competitive. Especially at a place like Monaco.
My cousin is an actor, he has a few friends who are or were A-listers in the 2005 time frame. Around that time I went on a trip out to LA with my girlfriend at the time and met him and one of his friends for lunch. His friend that came along was one of the said A listers.

Two things happened. 1, I saw a side of my girlfriend that had never been shown before. 2, we had a time in bed later that night where I know she certainly wasn't thinking about me.

Unassociated to this we didn't date much longer, but a few months after we broke up she did ask for my cousin and his friends phone number. She was going back out to LA for a trip and wanted to see if they could meet up again. You can imagine the hilarity that ensued.
