Hut's finally closing
Is Dirty's still there? My daughter used to live a stone's throw from that place, but she moved so I haven't been there in a while. I hope it's still there. No offense, Whataburger.

DNA tracking through commercial services
I'm reminded of the Oracle in The Matrix. You know what's really going to bake your noodle? AI. Skynet. That shit is coming. Quantum computing. VR. Mankind is going to evolve itself right out of existence.

Who has an American flag flying outside?
Norman, Oklahoma. Or Hell. But I repeat myself.

Hut's finally closing
Nooooooooo!@11!!!1! It's not like Huts had the best burger (they didn't), but it was good. Good enough. But this is yet another part of the (old) Austin that I loved (still love) that is going away. And it reminds me that I'm getting old. Noooooooo!@11!!!1!

Who has an American flag flying outside?
Wrap the flags up in a dignified box and leave it on the steps of the VFW. But if the flags are nylon-based, you shouldn't burn them anyway. Or just wrap them up (nicely) and put them in the trash. Really. It's not that big of a deal. It doesn't mean you're a bad American.

Agree, that was a very good show. Actually, it was great.

DNA tracking through commercial services
Yeah, to answer your question, in this particular case I think you're overreacting. Don't be a serial killer. Or even a cereal killer. The toothpaste can't be put back into the tube (or some other bullshit law school saying you wish to apply here). DNA. Facial recognition. Cell phone location data. But look on the bright side. Global climate change will kill us all before Big Brother ships us off to the Gulag.

No WAY is that the Same Actor/Actress
I've always thought this this movie was better than Silence o' the Lambs. I mean, Hannibal using the innards of some pen to escape from his shackles? Give me a break. Manhunter was much, much better.

What's the Shag (Surly) consensus on the HPV vaccination?
I'm really not picking on phd, really. He's so "with it" normally. But what exactly are the kids "telling dad"? This kinda goes to the heart of the matter. It seems that phd thinks his kids are "telling" him that they are having (or want to have) wanton and indiscriminate sex. Me? It tells me that they want to lower their chances of contracting, wait for it, ... cancer. It tells me those kids are making a sound and rational decision. Am I wrong?

Oberlin College hit with $11M judgement in libel/defamation lawsuit
You know, as ugl, er unattractive as that Dunham woman is, I get the vibe that her looks aren't the ugli, er most unattractive thing about her.

Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College
There are raging dipshits on both sides of the political aisle, and these buffoons at Oberlin appear to have the dipshit tag down quite well. And some will use these dipshits to excuse/validate/justify Trump. They're doing it wrong, imo.

are there any anti-vaxxers here?
“God gave us a wonderful beautiful body that heals itself,” one anti-vaxxer said. How do you reason with people like that? Sadly, it seems that you can't. It would be a bit different if those idiots were the only ones who paid the price for their stupidity (yeah, it's the kids that really pay the price) but this is a public health issue.

Happy 98th Birthday to Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh
You realize that the Queen doesn't run the UK, right? Or Canada? If you can't see anything of value then you're just trolling.

Filling in driveway expansion joints
Lol. I hope it is. I still have some of that wood in place. But yeah, that stuff can't be all that waterproof.

Filling in driveway expansion joints
I started out overkilling it. 1. Clean stuff out of the gap. 2. put down the backer rod (for me, this was mostly used to fill up the space). 3. used clear waterproof silicone caulk on the backer rod to attach to concrete sides (this was the overkill, I stopped doing this pretty quickly). 4. applied the self-leveling caulk. If you're doing any amount at all, I recommend buying the big (about 30 oz) tubes of the self-leveling caulk (instead of the smaller about 10 oz tubes). At my Lowes, the smaller tubes are about $8.50, while the bigger tubes are around $13.50, so (almost) triple the amount for less than half the price. You'll also need a bigger caulk gun. And you can go through a lot of this stuff if you aren't careful, hence using the backer rod stuff. Also, the backer rod will float, so ideally you'll shove that stuff in the gap and it will kind of be jammed in there. 5. I don't like the look of the self-leveling caulk, so I put some play sand (can get at Lowes) over it. Don't know how that will do over time. Like I mentioned, if you're not careful you can go through a lot of that self-leveling caulk. When I started I was buying the smaller tubes ($8.50 a pop) and could use 2.5 to 3 tubes for about a 10-12 foot span. Ouch, considering I had a lot more than that to do. So, get the bigger tubes, use backer rod (you can even fill some of the gap with sand if you want, just leave enough space for the self-leveling caulk), and try not to be messy with it. Oh, and you might want to wear gloves or latex/nitrile gloves to keep the stuff off your hands. *** edit to add *** I used Sika Grey Self-Leveling Sealant. My guess is that it's pretty close to SL1 quality.

Amen, brother. And yet, yet, we still have posts like phds. Shake my damn head. Mankind is really fucking stupid sometimes.

Yeah, I sho will miss my local retail coal mining store. Black-Lungs-R-Us, I'll miss ya.- What's the Shag (Surly) consensus on the HPV vaccination?
Not only that, but like I mentioned, what about 30 years from now when your (virginal) so has died and you marry someone else? Jesus, pull your head out of your ass and get a shot that can prevent CANCER. I don't give a fuck if your "doctor" agrees with you and doesn't recommend it. What. The. Fuck. Bizarre, yes. This is just a grade-A, prime example of poor thinking. (unless there's a valid medical reason not to get the shot) This shot can PREVENT CANCER. Stop rationalizing why it shouldn't be given. What's next? You telling me that the bible disproves evolution?- Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College
And by "reward" you mean having the US consumer pay less for tomatoes and lettuce? Gotcha.- What's the Shag (Surly) consensus on the HPV vaccination?
I would like to see phd address my above post, specifically: And what about these kids whose parents don't have them get the vaccine who, for some reason lose their (virginal) partner? Death, divorce, glorious assumption, alien abduction, whatever, and then meet someone in their later years and (gasp) have sex with them? Not saying that he's self-nominating himself for a parent-o-the-year award (but his "doctor" sure seems out to lunch) but really?- Teenagers breaking into backyard
Yeah,... no. Unless you want the pool to heave up. Sit out there a few nights with a shotgun. Stand your ground.- Executive Action...no more pennies
Then where will all those aggy-mentality students go? OU? - The Retail Bloodbath
