The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
I hadn't thought about a "Box 13" situation, but that is also an opportunity for them to monkey wrench elections.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
I don't think that they want more accurate counts. In fact I think that they want to introduce so much inaccuracy that they can just throw out the results and declare a winner of their choosing, or delay their reporting such that it cannot be accepted by the state, then complain about how they are being cheated. Either way, they want to throw our election process into chaos so that they can undermine confidence in it. They are not acting in good faith.

Tell him that a fagot is a bundle of sticks. That has been its usage for far longer than the other.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Not a pilot, but an aviation fan. My understanding is that most, if not all, four engine aircraft are designed fly safely on three engines, some on two for short times. Whatever set that engine afire and caused it to fall off probably catastrophically damaged the hydraulic control system. Without hydraulics, most planes fall from the sky pretty quickly.

Helping your wife through The Change
A woman wouldn't suggest the addition of the chain mail. I do live with a menopausal woman, so I'm just passing along her demands (the first part) and my observations (the last part).

Getting old sucks
The only way that I know how to respond is to let you know that I wish you comfort and love while you are on this journey.

Helping your wife through The Change
Just like with teens dealing with hormone floods, keep in mind that no matter how miserable your experience is, hers is far worse. Be there for her, be patient, supportive, and comforting, and get fireproof Kevlar armor, with a chain mail overlay.

What if there were no rhetorical questions? (Old as shit, I know. Still, what if...)

Woman shot and killed after car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway
Thank you. I thought so, but sometimes things aren't always as they seem.

Woman shot and killed after car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway
A question for the Surly Law Brigade: Let's say that the person taking that video sees the old man pull that gun, feels that his or her life is in imminent danger (as seems likely they did due to their rapid displacement to another location), and instead of running pulls a firearm of their own and perforates the shit out of the old guy. Would that not clearly be a case of self defense and justifiable homicide under Texas law? If not, why not?

My neighbors are going to lose their minds when I do that here. Don't try this at home my ass! That's fucking awesome!

I ended up having to change out the pump, too. I have a spare contact switch, and am looking for a more robust pump for my next replacement. Pumps from Tractor Supply and other local stores have plastic impellers, which wear out pretty quickly in my well. I'm looking for a good pump with steel or brass impellers to run down the well when I have to replace this one. Hopefully that one will last longer than a few years. I'm getting too damn old to pull that pump up by myself comfortably.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
This time has been a journey. The points are good and I was getting power all the way through, so I had to pull the pump out of the well to check it. 90 feet of pipe later, I find that a wire has rubbed against the side of the pump and parted. I spliced the wire and bump tesed it and it still wouldn't run. I found that the capacitor in the control box burst, probably due to the parted wire, so I need a new box (the burst capacitor made a real mess). I am now searching for a new control box, but I need to help my dad with some stuff today, so it will probably be late tonight before I get the well back into service. I love living the easy, relaxed country life.

Indeed. And when I got to my first appointment, I found out that it was diarrhea. At least I have been places this morning where I could use someone else's water for that. Now I'm back home, and it's time to dig into the emergency stores. At least we have that.

What an asshole thing to do.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
When you are on a private well, you will always find out that your pump went out while you are taking your morning shower and the pressure drops to nothing. On a related note, your well will only go out when you have other important things scheduled for that day that you cannot defer, delaying the start of the necessary work on the well. Shit.

Mass Shootings
All of these involuntary sacrifices to the gun god so that some people can continue to have their fantasies of murdering public officials that they don't like or anyone whom they consider "thugs". Fucking disgusting.

That's what would happen if my oldest younger brother tried hang gliding. There could be only one tree for 100 miles, and he'd hit it. His scars have scars.
