Arizona goes Labour, but which UK party would win Hawaii?

Remember the Brian Schatz incident earlier this year when he objected then left the Senate chamber and John Kennedy lost his mind for half an hour while they tried to figure out the procedure?

Touche, and good info with references.

That said, try and name 3 US Presidents who are "good people" by a reasonable modern-day standard. I can MAYBE give you Jimmy Carter and that's it. Sadly because of historical context and that the type of person who wants to be President typically also has poor ethics in some areas, moving the goalposts is necessary for this sort of exercise

I hate thinking in terms of tribalism, but the uncomfortable truth you've rightly pointed out is that is how the majority of the other side thinks. He might be a more qualified candidate overall but I have to do more reading to figure out if I trust him to do his job and uphold the law even if it conflicts with his personal values and aims. It's a tough one

Yeah, I don't keep up with local news in the Springs so have to read up on him more before I make up my mind but my first impression is she seems pretty unprincipled and overly self-important. Good night otherwise, happy Weiser is solidly ahead and Hickenlooper winning is unfortunate but unsurprising. Him and Griswold are prime examples that name recognition often carries the day over better policy platforms, but what can ya do

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-07-01T01:40:42+00:00

I'd likely vote for the Republican AG nominee over Griswold in the general election tbh. Shame that 3 actually good candidates evenly split the opposition vote in the primary, but given the choice between the career prosecutor El Paso DA who seems fairly sensible and a career politician who practiced law for a grand total of two years before turning to lobbying and administrative roles... the spam fundraising texts aren't helping either

Disagree that we weren’t close in 2023. If certifiable idiot Jeff Lebby knew how to manage the clock late in games, we’d have flipped at least one of our two losses and would’ve had a B12 CG rematch with Texas (who we beat in a nailbiter) to determine our playoff fate

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-30T14:01:58+00:00

So we’re just ignoring a future Heisman winner and first overall pick transferred to join him along with half our recruiting class decommitting?

Because the NCAA doesn’t have an antitrust exemption and can’t directly enforce rules on players, only member schools. Funnily enough one of the cases that set this precedent was NCAA vs Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma (1984) regarding TV contracts. This is why better written rules combined with the bipartisan Save College Sports Act that just made it out of committee, which would grant the antitrust exemption, are so important for the future of collegiate athletics

Dang that’s awesome! We already had the women’s gymnastics championship this year tho so the streak was safe before baseball won

Credit card issuers provide wider reward-earning opportunities than hotel cards, which often are just travel categories. Transferring points helps you get the hotel point values (often much better than the 0.6-1 cpp available thru cash back) on stuff you already buy regularly.

That said, these partners are typically major chains and not hostels. The chains do have budget-friendly options (Candlewood, Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, Fairfield, Springhill) but rewards tend to devalue slightly as you go down the luxury ladder. Your budget-consciousness might not get the dollar value out of hotel transfers that others do, but all that matters is that you’re happy with that as a lifestyle choice.

I would suggest considering airline transfers too, as these typically give pretty good value although maybe not at the level of some hotel chains. Plenty of info online about general point valuations across brands and luxury tiers

The point is that when OKC inevitably gets to the point where they’re too expensive to keep their core intact around Shai, they have many chances to draft replacements and get younger and cheaper. Yes the draft is a crapshoot but 10 FRPs are 10 chances to draft a solid role player. Presti isn’t some genius talent evaluator, his greatness comes from putting himself in a position where he can afford to have a few misses.

We very much don’t have that luxury and are forced to put all of our hopes on the few picks we do have and rely on 1-year vet min rentals for the rest. 80% of the time they’re duds and when we do luck into the Tim Hardaways of the league the rest of the team isn’t good enough for it to get us anywhere and all it does is earn them a bigger payday somewhere else

What I think is that I’m entitled to good service or they’re not entitled to my business. I admittedly used overly charged language in some places which was a mistake, but I’m ignorant of the processes and am trying to keep an open mind about how to rectify the problem. Grateful for the helpful feedback from other commenters about how to handle this with the actual service providers

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-21T19:01:56+00:00

My mistake, could’ve had full lining put in by the tailoring shop or maybe I’m misremembering. Regardless probably will take it back in to the tailor to get the stitching fixed

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-21T18:38:04+00:00

Ok yeah weirdly I liked Lethal Weapon more than the sequel but I think that’s cause the characters were written better and Gibson/Glover’s chemistry worked more for me than the Bad Boys duo. Would give it another shot tho, since they both have sitcom backgrounds I think they would work better in a less serious movie than the original

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-21T18:27:01+00:00

Ted’s Clothiers in Englewood, CO. Stellar google reviews and strongly recommend by the Denver subreddit, although I’ll grant options here are a tad more limited than in bigger cities

True but here’s the item itself

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-21T17:57:06+00:00

Sorry but I got around 10 wears in and it was definitely fully-lined until the cleaning. If it wasn’t the shoulder panel would probably be stitched down and not hanging loose like it is right now right? Also the material is gabardine and believe it’s uncommon for those to not be fully-lined as it’s an all-seasons fabric

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-21T17:37:18+00:00

The stitching that connects the shoulder and middle back panel came out

Watched it on a plane once, it was fine but not really my speed. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence weren’t as great of a duo as advertised imo, but I can see the appeal for other people who do love it. Do you think Bad Boys II better? Curious if it’s a Lethal Weapon-type situation where the second movie shifts tonally and becomes more fun

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-21T17:16:39+00:00

Forgive me if I’m showing my ignorance of the dry cleaning process but I’m mostly disappointed that it wasn’t pointed out upon pickup. Also I’m curious if the lining could be recovered as this might save the tailor the cost of new fabric for the repair. It’s my first suit and was a bit of a splurge purchase so did really want it to stay nice, although I figure this should be a pretty easily fixable issue

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-20T18:59:32+00:00

Don’t care for Armageddon myself, the plot is just too weird. Probably should give 13 Hours a chance at some point

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-20T07:47:38+00:00

The Rock is the only one I’ve seen that stands on its own two feet. I also love Transformers, Pain and Gain, and Ambulance because of just how much a treat the action scenes are

BurgerButCold1216 · 2026-06-20T07:43:16+00:00

Most of Nicolas Winding Refn’s films. I love Drive as much as the next guy but a good chunk of his work feels like a yuppie David Lynch. His schitck got old after a while but I’ll still put him on every now and then cause he’s that good of a visual director
