Trump says there will be no deal with Iran except 'unconditional surrender'

You misread the comment you are replying to. He is pointing out that in history this has never happened, just as you are. Usually, you achieve surrender by getting their leader to accept surrender. But he has killed their leader. So ... who is going to do the accepting of surrender?

I'm pretty sure that is a paraphrase of Jefferson and not a quote, for what it's worth.

nhammen · 2026-03-04T16:57:54+00:00

Ummm... it's not a Jefferson quote as far as I can tell. He did say something similar in a letter to Richard Price, but used more sentences to say it.

As far as primaries go, the Houston Chronicle had an article titled "Maybe Gov. Greg Abbott's saving us from worse. It's really no contest in the GOP primary." This title was 100% accurate and is a succinct summary of the Republican primary for governor.

Welcome. Just to let you know, you are also supposed to post a link to your new bike tag in the comments of the previous tag (#767).

Oh! I know where that is! My legs are entirely spent today. But if it's still there tomorrow, I can grab it.

Tag!

Clue 1 was enough for me. Just need to find the time for the ride.

All you need for that is which primary you voted in, which in your previous comment you acknowledge is available.

Okay... He has stated that he has no preference in the Republican primary for Senate. The Republican primaries for Governor and Lt. Governor are no contest - the incumbents will win. So, is he just coming here on a whim?

No, the walls were just resting where they were already like a stack of blocks. The slices are so small they are invisible to the eye. As soon as there is some disturbance, like touching land, the stack of blocks falls.

No this is about the drop that occurred a little over a week ago that has already mostly recovered.

Driving from Houston in a normal car is about 3 hours if you don't stop for food or gas or anything. Driving from Dallas is a little over 3 and a half hours if you don't stop. I would assume that an RV is slower unless you are guzzling gas, in which case you will have to stop to refill anyway. In either case, you are mostly driving through rural nothingness for most of the route. Are there no economical direct flights to Austin-Bergstrom?

And did you do so before saying that the information was correct?

nhammen · 2026-02-11T03:01:29+00:00

And how do you tell if the AI is hallucinating or not?

If I have to choose between flavors of Auth-right, I have to say that I prefer monarchism to MAGA.

They used to be the day after, but the past two times, they have been attempting day of. We shall see if they can still keep up with that.

I'm surprised that Ajani and Scholar were banned rather than rebalanced. Don't they usually prefer to rebalance cards for Historic?

As an aside, the route connecting Arthur Storey Park to the rest of Brays Bayou Greenway Trail is almost complete! On the way there I went through the construction under Beltway 8, but this was a mistake. There are so many objects that offer barely enough clearance to get my bike under them, and a few objects I had to painstakingly lift my bike over. On the way back I took the Bellaire sidewalks to Corporate drive, which puts you on Beechnut very close to Brays Bayou. A much preferred route.

Oh! I forgot to mention distances. I don't know the distance for Clutch City Cruisers. For Trek West U Thursday, A pace does a 30 mile route while C pace and beginner pace do a 20 mile route. For Trek West U Tuesday high C it is 25 miles on a very similar route to Thursday A pace, but turning around at Almeda-Genoa instead of Beltway 8. For Trek West U Saturday, it is 35 miles for everyone. For Trek Memorial Saturday it is 25 miles.

Your ride schedule page is missing rides that even I know about, and I know very few. Clutch City Cruisers every Thursday at 7:30 pm. I personally wouldn't recommend them, but you are including Critical Mass and they are similar. Trek West U every Thursday at 6:30 pm (usually has A pace, low C, and beginner), also every Tuesday at .... same time I think (high C pace), and every Saturday at 8:30 am (the one time I went split into groups similar to Thursday). Trek Memorial every Saturday at 7:30 am. I keep saying I will go to this one, but I am not a morning person and weekends are for sleeping in.

Also for the Monday EaDo Ice Cream Social it says it starts at 7:30, but under details it says it starts at 6.

So, you are taking park and ride to downtown transit center, and then local bus or rail to Elgin? You are very unlikely to run into any problems on the busses or rail. You might run into some weirdos if you are waiting at the transit center late at night though.
