  • Joe Rogan's friends followed him to Texas. They all seem to hate it.

  • Nah, I lived in Texas for three years, Austin was the best of. If I had to move back to Texas I'm going to Austin.

  • Yes, I forget what the phenomenon is called but you wete actively driving and engaged. Your brain just didn't bother to take any notes because nothing note worthy happened during the commute you take nearly everyday, in the same car you've been driving for years.

  • I'm glad my two anecdotes of 25-ish years of driving have given you a complete picture.

  • Did I say it doesn't count? The cop didn't issue me a ticket so he didn't think so.

  • I was once pulled over for doing 50 in a 30 and I was just coasting down a long hill. I've also been pulled over for doing 35 in a 25mph zone (a classic Texas small town speed trap where the posted speed went from 65 to 55 to 25 in a very short distance with a cop posted at the 25 sign. You had to be on the brakes to make it.) Some cars are quite quick, foot on the gas pedal a moment too long and you've blown through 8mph. Some people spend more time with their eyes outside the car than on the dash. Hell a lot of you drive around with highbeams on and there's an indicator light for that too.

    But also, "Watson already had nine points on her licence before the speeding incident occurred, the court heard."

  • Not exactly. We all saw how the recent votes went.

  • What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?

    Jump

  • But I like Waterworld.

  • What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into?

  • Later seasons of Clone Wars is quite good, same with Rebels. They fleshed out and/or introduced some of the best characters in the universe - with some of the best story arcs.The Andor trilogy (including Rogue One) is phenomenal. Even if you don't like Star Wars.The Madalorian starts out strong but degrades over time.The Bad Batch also not bad.

    But most of it has absolutely been quantity over quality. I mean, Episode 8 was so bad I still haven't seen Episode 9; haven't even bothered to pirate it.

  • You can go buy those old washing machines. They're still out there. I got my washer and dryer used for 100 dollars each.

    Nothing digital on them, all analog. Fixed a washer overflowing issue by replacing the $20 pressure level switch. Twice I've had to replace the heating element for the dryer, $20 bucks for those. Everything is replaceable with a flat head screwdriver and a youtube video.

    Go buy those old washers and dryers.

  • Saying “I fear we are there” is a direct call to violence

    No it's not.

    Razor bumps can now get you kicked out of the marines. Black men will likely suffer the most

  • Dang, man, that sucks. But anyways, good news, these guys should be getting honorable discharges which grants them full access to VA benefits.

  • If their condition doesn't improve within a year following a four-step treatment plan, Marines with PFB may be discharged with an honorable discharge for "incompatibility with service" at their commanding officer's discretion,

    You could just read the article, it's in there.

  • There's some verses in the Bible that tell you to be wary of those that come dressed clean and godly, that pray in public, and make a spectacle of their worship.I forget exactly the words but it is basically that yeah, they're filthy and ungodly inside.

  • I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they're cool.In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn't have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We'd have people bucking rivets and I'd walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.

    My site manager didn't like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn't wear them. I said, "Motherfucker, they're finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No."This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.

  • The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I've noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.

  • Now, I've read that horses were native to the Asian continent and migrated elsewhere, eventually to the Americas. However, I was at the San Diego Natural History museum last night and they had a display that claims the opposite, that horses are native to then migrated out of the Americas.

    *37 seconds of Wikipedia browsing did teach me that native horses went extinct in North America about 8,000 years ago, then were later reintroduced.
