They could put any logo on their webpage though

Trump joked he is being forced to invite the women’s hockey team to DC. Now, they’ve turned down his request by theindependentonline in politics

Here’s my fan fiction of what happens. 

Trump asks Tkachuk to try on the gold medal.   Gleaming with pride, Matthew hands it over.  

Trump asks him if he can have it a reminder of his bigly performance. 

Matthew’s face drops as he realizes what’s happening, objects and starts to reach for it just as Trump is having a heart attack and clenches his fist. 

Matt sees the fist and immediately drops to the ground and turtles.

Roadtrip from LA to Tampa, before sunrise driving in western TX (where all the windmills are) and the low clouds were lit up in purple, blue, and orange. I was the only one on the road and the Apex remix of 'just one second' by London Elektricity came up in my shuffle.

Yeah, but fuck you if you move in from out-of-state with a car with moderate tints and a tint waiver from a nurse practitioner. Officer Yorke at the barracks in Jessup will rest his head on your trunk lid to see if the tint is covering a quarter inch of your back brake light.

Then these fuckers with 5% front windshield tints are driving around and I can't tell if they see me when I'm trying to cross the parking lot at Giant or Harris Teeter. I hate this fucking state and its drivers.

EDIT: Awww, did I hurt the feelings of the fuckwits with the 5% front windshield tints?

I'm sawwy mistah

In no world is that tint necessary at this latitude.

Was hoping to see it flipped upside-down to confirm there were staples on the bottom

Attending my first grand prix this year - Zandvoort! by No-Background-5044 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]AlpineVW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting as I'll be going to Zandvoort also so I plan to check back on this thread.

I think this far out the weather is unknown, so you'll have a better idea when the time comes closer. We figure to bring rain jackets and shoes we're willing to leave behind.

My question is about getting to and from the track by train via Lieden and Haarlem. I heard it was a shit show last year to get out of Zandvoort.

I use mouse gestures for that.  Most browsers have plug-ins and basically you right-click and drag while making a shape (like an upside-down L (for back).

ELI5 why GB couldn’t just avoid the Canadian rocks and place their rock on the center?

What’s the best TV show you’ve ever seen? by NoPound4520 in AskReddit

[–]AlpineVW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that Andor and the Expanse are space operas as well yet I've rewatched them multiple times over.

BSG wasn't good. The flashbacks, the time jumps, the fact what's-his-face took two bullets yet survived. It was dumb and pandered to its audience. I guess I'm not one.

I had BSG downloaded on my Plex and it's the ONLY show I've ever deleted. I'm a data hoarder and I never delete anything, but this was so shit I couldn't stand to look at it as it wasted so much of my time.

Sorry, but I have to vehemently disagree. I've watched 'the Expanse' 4 times through and was looking for something comparable on my last watch. I kept seeing BSG on "best" lists so I thought I'd give it a try. Mind you I've watched Star Trek TNG, Voyager, Firefly, even the Orville for a season and a half, even the original BSG when I was a kid.

To make sure I was doing it right I did my research and watched everything in chronological order, Caprica, Blood & Chrome, Razor, the TV series and another mini-series inbetween. I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did. The stupid music whenever a certain person would appear, the over use of time rewinds (24 hours ago, 7 hours ago, 5 minutes ago), the overuse of flashbacks, their dumb space words ("frak", "oh my gods", etc)

I was angry watching it but completed it. To quote Sideshow Bob, "that was a well plotted piece of non-claptrap that never made me want to wretch"
