January 30, 20232 yr Spend $50 to nap for an hour at an airport layover and probably get AIDS and a bad rash, or $100 more to get the non-stop flight and arrive sooner, cleaner, with less AIDS?
January 31, 20232 yr Why couldn’t I make a business renting retail space in airports, chopping it up into little cubbies, and selling a nice quiet comfortable room to take a short nap in for $25/half hour?Too late.
January 31, 20232 yr My friend Bob Sacamano invented this very thing for weary Japanese businessmen. Only to save money on real estate, the rental bed was actually a large drawer in a Karl Farbman dresser.
January 31, 20232 yr The MV Astoria is going to take her final trip to Rotterdam next week where she will be broken up for scrap. She is currently the oldest cruise ship out there. Astoria first went to sea in 1948 as the SS Stockholm. In 1956, the Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria in heavy fog off Nantucket Island. The Andrea Doria sunk, 52 people were killed. Among the people aboard the Andrea Doria was 14-year old Linda Morgan, who was in bed in cabin 52 at the time of the collision. Cabin 52 was right above where Stockholm struck Andrea Doria, and Morgan was launched onto the deck of the Stockholm. Her mother and step-sister were killed. Twelve years after the collision, Linda Morgan married Phil Hardberger. They moved to San Antonio in 1970, and Phil became mayor in 2005. Linda is still around at age 81. She's a very nice lady.

So I went on a little Google dive, until I came to the story of Mrs. Hardberger, when I was like

February 1, 20232 yr In France, you have to pass a medical exam to get a home mortgage. If that was required in the US, there would be no real estate market to speak of.

February 2, 20232 yr Bought some cookies from Girl Scouts this past saturday. There was an alpha one that was maybe 11 that was super cheerful & talkative, and was telling me to try that toffee ones if I liked trefoils, so I got a box of those in addition to a s’mores box instead of trefoils. Sure enough the toffee flavor was terrible. I bet they were low on trefoils and she was trying to unload the toffee or something. Fucking bitch.

Ask them if they are made from Real Girl Scouts or artificially flavored.
February 2, 20232 yr Cheeseweasel, "Real girl scout cookie, Eddie?" eddie, "Ah, nothing but the best..." the French requiring you to live at least a decent amount of time to payoff your mortgage does make some sense. But it also seems unnecessarily intrusive. Just require proof of life insurance substantial enough to pay off the note at some pre-determined time (30 days after closing to 30 years down the road), or have them pay into Escrow to some sort of "aggregated pool" (basically insurance). I mean, we kinda do the same thing with homeowner's insurance here in the U.S. Where either show you can recover from a total loss, pay your own policy premiums, or like most---pay into escrow to cover the asset now jointly held by you and the lender/government agency. It's actually one of those concepts in government and banking that kinda makes sense either way. And that's fucking rare. My random thought---I need more firewood if this outage is gonna persist for another 24+ horus.
February 3, 20232 yr Posted similar in the past but I enjoy watching these types of videos, a lot of BTS we fans don't see much of...
February 3, 20232 yr Man that Alamodome turf looks like assDidn’t know there was a base of dirt underneath the infield. Fuck the outfielders though, I guess?
February 3, 20232 yr It did look like shit. Was that a practice run or some shit? They didn’t leave it like that for a real game did they?

Baseball in the Alamodome is an absolute joke. The best configuration had it like 250' to straight away right which is like a Pony League field. It was so short I think they had to put up a net in right to protect fans. This pic looks like they at least weren't letting people sit in the first several rows.

February 3, 20232 yr How stupid is it that Chuck Berry's only #1 hit was My Ding-A-Ling? One thing that John Lennon got right was when he said that if it wasn't called rock and roll, it would be called Chuck Berry. So many great and influential songs, and that's the one that hits #1? Silly.
February 3, 20232 yr Samoas or GTFOThis guy fucks. My kid and nieces love Thin Mints and Lemonaids, which are quite tasty until you grow up a bit, and your balls drop and possibly dip the toilet if you are not careful.
February 3, 20232 yr Why were two military cargo planes slow rolling low as fuck in West Austin just now, came over Mansfield dam, down Lake Austin so low they were below my balcony, then lifted up, buzzed the middle school in Steiner before meandering towards City Park? Two planes, four props.We get a lot of Helos buzzing by between Mayby, Brack and Ft Hood. Planes not so much.
