The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
Yeah and his days are numbered anyway. Can't get above LTC, he's being 'encouraged' to retire. I always get a chuckle out of military experts on TV 'retired LTC Soandso.' MSM is as guilty of this as anyone. My first thought is always 'couldn't get that full bird, huh?' OTOH, full bird and above, typically get my respect, with a few notable exceptions of course.

Gavin Newsom Recall
None of those conditions are new. None of the policy points are counter to anything he said while campaigning or demonstrated in previously held positions. Heck, there hasn't been an execution since 2006. CA has been notorious for high taxes since at least the 70's.

HBO Hard Knocks: Season 16 - Dallas Cowboys
Kid is cute. Didn’t need to see 100 hours of him being cute. At least that’s what it felt like.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Until Microsoft introduced auto-save, I would have agreed with you. Now, if I open a file from two years ago, accidentally hit the space bar and then back space, or even ctrl-z, it will have today's date as the last modified date.

Gavin Newsom Recall
He's Nancy Pelosi's nephew. He horribly mismanaged the reaction to Covid, unlike those great governors, Noem and Desantis. He is complicit with Cuomo...somehow, some way.

Whatcha reading?
Got this one about 2/3 through, it’s a quick easy read, short chapters makes it easy to put down and pick back up again. Good story thus far, hopefully the ending doesn’t disappoint.

Afghan prez fled the country. Where did he go?

Hilton Vacation Club
Timeshares in general never make 'financial' sense in that it will always be less expensive to piecemeal something together year after year. You just gotta decide if the benefits are worth the extra cost.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Depends on the pedestrian. Relatively young, healthy looking dude, looks like he has a clue, make eye contact and go for it. Little old lady, yeah, better to wait. Theoretically you have more time to go, but let her go just out of courtesy to old folks. Hot chick, let her pass, for all kinds of obvious reasons.

TEXAS AND OU TO SEC IN MS PAINT*
It's amazing how many of those gomers actually look like Clem. Check out the wide shot starting at about 13 seconds. BTW, am I the only one who didn't know his name was Clem?

Agree. A few times in this thread I’ve misread ACC as AAC and vice versa. It really doesn’t make a difference either way. Both are at-best second tier conferences at this point.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
The amazing part to all of this, is that she opened with "no thanks." Every other wife would have given you all that blah blah blah and closed with "no thanks." Or, not even said "no thanks" and just give you all the blah blah blah.

Aggy has, and will continue to aggy this up. Their first response should have been something like "we have heard the rumors and will monitor the situation and ultimately do what is best for Texas A&M University." Instead, it was "waaah waaaah we don't want tu." When it comes to the vote, they should follow along and make it 14-0, and say something like "we are acting in the collective best interests of the SEC and TAMU." Instead, it will be "we vote 'no' even though our vote doesn't make a difference because those sips don't deserve our support."
