Kenny Paxton/Dave P's Impeachment Game Day Thread
I always have very mixed feelings reading the threads on Texas politics (and the blast furnace thread). Surly is one of the main ways I 'keep in touch' with it all. On the one hand there is the relief and the reinforcement of 'man did we do the right thing getting out,' even if my primary reason was beautiful nature and a better climate for me, not necessarily politics at the time. On the other hand I still have so many friends and family back in Texas. Some of whom really and truly want to get out but can't find a way to afford that move either finanically or emotionally. Others who want to fight the good fight, damn the odds. And while I don't know most Surly folks in person, I have been entertained and educated by so many that I root for them to continue to have the best they can in life. So that other side of the relief for me getting out is just pure sadness for those who are left. Sadness and anger that this system and the assholes who wield it are beating those folks down.

Joe Biden 2023: The Dark Brandon Rises
lulz at 'extreme progressive.' like really. just goes to show what i've said in another thread. i don't want to really get into it and derail here, but maybe it's worth doing some self-refelction and historical study on why you think that's the case. but yeah, changing up the ticket would be seen as a sign of weakness and indeciveness, sure.

Holy shit, Mitt got abused by the cult tonight
Yeah, I was conflating some things there, but admittedly badly made point is that there is no real threat anywhere of some kind of leftist dictatorship in this country. Not only that, but we've so skewed the ideas of left and right over these past 20 years that even things that seem relatively common sense are only opposed due to the corporate brainwashing from our real overlords. Anything deemed remotely progressive has to be 'kept in check' and it seems we're pretty good at doing that.

Holy shit, Mitt got abused by the cult tonight
It would really suck to be under a leftist cult of universal health care, women's rights, proper taxation on billionaires, and moves to reduce man's impact on climate change. Then again, free college is also probably a looney left idea. I keep waiting for one of those 'crazy leftist' ideas that actually makes me say 'nope, sounds bad.'

One isn't a "loonie on either side" if one disagrees with that assessment. From Wiki: that's tip of the iceberg. fuck all that.

Joe Biden 2023: The Dark Brandon Rises
Its funny you mention Sammy, I was thinking about him the other day. Of course, only those of us who knew him could call him Sammy without getting punched in the nose. He was not exactly a push over. One time he and I were having lunch at The Muse, which I'm pretty sure is closed these days but only due to Jack Nicholson being stingy with his tips. Anyway, a little known fact about Sammy is he was really crazy for a good tomato bisque. Also, he truly loathed the Lakers. Now, The Muse didn't have tomato bisque on the menu, but they would run to the nearest 7-eleven and buy a can of Campbell's and trick ol Sammy into enjoying his meal. Well this particular day Kobe walks into the place and everyone but Sammy loses their marbles and starts fumbling. The waiter messes up and says "here's your campbell's sir, err, I mean." Well, too late. Sammy storms into the kitchen, finds the Campbell's can, and then storms back to the table, fuming. I tried to calm him down and offer him some of my eggplant parmesan, which seemed to be helping. Well, then a chorus of laughter erupts at Kobe's table and Sammy's face just reddened, like you know he did in the movies. He stands up, lobs the soup can towards Kobe's table. Luckily he missed Kobe or things could have got really ugly. Then Sammy started screaming "I GOT THE RIGHT STUFF! YOU AIN"T GOT IT, YOU CANNED SOUP SLURPER!" Kobe just stared and shook his head, went back to eating. The waiter and owner and chef all came out to apologize, and after a foot massage Sammy calmed down. So maybe instead of you know Trump dies so Biden dies like you theorize it just could be some angry but harmless can throwing, followed by some hollering of nonsense and the right foot massage to calm everyone back down.

Markets still falling like whoa
Thanks, I appreciate it. It seems massive computing scale and GPU demand should stay reasonably high for the near foreseeable future unless I'm blind to some kind of drop off.

Markets still falling like whoa
I'm curious what thoughts are in regards to 'gold rush' and 'AI bubble.' To be clear, I'm not asking from an investor's POV, but it seems most of the talk and knowledge comes from investors. Potential job offer with a company that is in the field and dependent on the current demand.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
https://www.salon.com/2023/09/11/has-his-own-age-problem--and-it-terrifies-him/ Editorial theorizes he's scared of impending dementia. This bit just completely cracked me up. "Senior Club Championship at a big golf club" put me in tears. Normally I just rage at the man, or roll my eyes or what not. But this one, whew, thanks Donny, that was funny.

Star Wars - Ahsoka
I hope I'm not in the "HURR DURR" category. I really am enjoying the show. Edit: good to read the different take oSuJeff97.
-
Star Wars - Ahsoka
Obviously not on her side. I type w/o thinking deeply sometimes. Probably the wrong word to use. I didn't mean it judgmentally (although he did kill a bunch of folks already), but his very stated goal is the return of Thrawn. As a viewer that's going to be awesome, but as a New Republic person that's not great. I stick with my opinion, the Rebels era Sabine wouldn't have done this. I mean, maybe she would have tried (and been unsuccesfu) to just run away with the map. But it is only my opinion, ofc.
-
Star Wars - Ahsoka
Fair enough. Can't recall if Sabine had her light sabre or not at that point in time. And the whole Baylon telling her she lost everyone again to me wouldn't have played with Sabine previously. Oh, I know, I'll give this thing to an obviously evil Jedi and hope it all works out. Which, I guess thanks to plot stuff it just might. It just really felt out of character for her imo.
-
Star Wars - Ahsoka
I know that they need some kind of plot vehicle to get to Thrawn and maybe Ezra, but boy was I disappointed that they turned Sabine into a weak willed dumbass in order for it to happen. Rebels era Sabine would have spray painted that Jedi's face and shot the map, imo. If you love Ezra like family, why undo his sacrifice? How many times did Ashoka ask if she could trust her? Otherwise enjoyed it.

Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth RIP
If what I read can be trusted he lost a six month old to lukemia in 2001 and many think his alcholism/downward slide stemmed from that. I can't judge. Sad all around. RIP.

Mass Shootings
Not to mention the whole 'well armed militia' bit. And that the 2a has been interpreted differently through out the years. I'm for confiscating the guns myself. Will never happen but I would not feel sorry for one hobbyist. Let the dudes living in the wilds of Alaska keep what they need to surive.

This.- Ski Season 2023/2024
I don't follow the ski threads like I should but this is my home mountain. I got 36 'days' in last year. Now unlike most of you I took up snowboarding at age 49 (before Covid closed the mountain) having not done any winter sports at all prior. Also, when I put quotes on 'days' its because some days are just a few hours after work. Kind of spoiled with a season pass and a local mountain. So I'm not great, mostly blues, a few blacks, and plenty of skiers and boarders are way faster/much more skilled than me. There's just a difference between people who learned at a young age and someone taking it up in their old age. That said, I have fun and I've given my son the gift of lessons in a sport I never got to participate in. So hopefully as an adult he'll have a level of skill I never did. Also fun being part of the culture and occaisionally catching some pros riding around (in snowboarding, I wouldn't know the pro skiers). Anyway I do forget to check the hobbies board but if any of you make it up to Bachy, ping me and maybe I can join you on your warm up runs before you move on to the bigger stuff. - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
