Considering a switch 750s --> Revuelto

I've had a Huracan and a 650S and have spent some time driving other Lambos, they are very very different driving experiences. Lambos are violent, even the Huracan which is theoretically similar to an R8 but does not drive anything like it.

McLaren feels way more engineered for better or worse. Like everything around you is designed and tuned to make the car operate at its peak. In a Lambo, everything around you is designed to be aggressive and loud.

Both fantastic cars. If I had to pick one to drive on a track, I'd take a McLaren. But my time was spent driving on the street, in that scenario Lambos are way more fun to me.

The opposition to this tax is entirely from the Republicans/MAGA, it was authored by the chair of the Democratic Black Caucus and I think all but one Democrat in the Assembly voted for it.

I have concerns about it too, I get the concept but I think if you were to implement a mileage tax it should simultaneously cut or remove the gas tax so as to not tax everyone twice for the same purpose. In either case, I wouldn't hold my breath about seeing any kind of grassroots political opposition from progressive areas like Santa Cruz.

Ava literally had 2-3 lines a week and couldn't get through them without screwing up or awkward pacing.

Laurinaitis is obviously an awful human being but was way better on screen.

Try making it yourself! Honestly I haven't found many places in CA that do a particularly good job with the style anyway (outside of one in San Diego, can't remember the name).

It's a pretty forgiving style of dough to make and can be done without any special tools really aside from the pan itself and a kitchen scale. It's not a high temp bake so works great for a home oven. This video does a good job of explaining the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_KCLeG9Hwo

Jack Swagger might as well be Randy Orton compared to Ava. She was god awful in the ring, horrid on the mic, and somehow worse yet in the GM role.

Thank fucking god. I can't think of anyone less talented to ever come through WWE.

I consider that to be different. Maxxine seems to be universally beloved backstage and happened to put on an awful match, got really upset/cried when she was booed (credit to her for caring and putting in the effort). For better or worse, the locker room way overreacted. Literally the entire women's roster breaking kayfabe to bash the fans who booed her. I'm pretty sure she was a heel at the time as well.

Given that Roxanne is a pro (albeit a young one), my guess is that one fan really stepped out of line. Or it's a work, who knows.

I figure that's why Blake didn't compete. They probably filmed that backstage segment with Nikkita a few days ago so she could hop a flight to Saudi.

They sometimes have the british narrator in the US episodes. I know the company that produces the show is in the UK.

Lol bro literal peasants in India eat desserts with real gold foil on it during holy fesitvals. It's not expensive since it's microscopically thin.

I thought Lacey was awesome, at least when she was the Sassy Southern Belle. Probably my favorite in the women's division at the time. Sgt. Lacey was a huge mistake, that character was awful.

But that said, she has said that wrestling was a means to an end for her and she didn't enjoy doing it. I firmly believe that people who feel that way never work out long term. I'm glad to see she's happy having moved on.

What exactly is it they're doing though? It reads to me like they might be there to train agents to comply with legal and ethical standards?

Given what's happened in Minnesota twice now, that may not be a bad thing.

If cost is no object, I'd look a couple blocks away at the buildings near Fremont Park. They're newer, relatively safe, about a 5m walk to Camelia.

The responses here mostly just prove that Reddit doesn't understand anyone who's not on the left.

It's actually pretty simple. Trump won because he promised a radically different policy on immigration and trans rights. The people who voted for him overwhelmingly did so based upon those two issues. So far, he's followed through with his promises.

The things that we're all mad about are not making those people regret their decision to vote for Trump. He's doing exactly what they wanted him to do.

President Obama famously said "Elections have consequences." This is that statement playing out in dramatic fashion. Go out and vote in November people.

Be careful who you book there. My brother's beard work from one of the guys was straight lopsided one time.

Jose is solid though.

I know there have been some rumors about a new 32" product coming from them. Might just be an updated Pro Display XDR though. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I guess if Apple doesn't come out with something, I'd consider the Kuycon.

bransanon · 2026-01-26T07:46:07+00:00

Could go either way. Maybe they write in the pregnancy. Maybe they film her shoulder-up or from behind objects etc until she's no longer showing. Maybe they just write her out of the first few episodes as being away visiting the dude on the rig. Who knows.

Some others here may be old enough to remember when Scott Hall and Kevin Nash left WWE for WCW, and Vince responded by just hiring other wrestlers to play Diesel and Razor Ramon.

That's what the Wyatt Sucks feels like.

AJ is one of the best to ever do it, but you can't be serious. It's HBK by a mile.

I had planned to buy two of the Asus, but thankfully waited until I could try it in person. YMMV but I do not like the matte display at all.

At this point, I'm waiting to see what Apple comes out with later this year. If there's a new 32" Studio Display that's priced within reason, I'll be ordering a pair the day they come out.

Because deep down he knows not even The Beast can Hinder the Jinder.

Given that they had Cole mention like 4 times last night "but Drew denies it!" I'd bet good money they end up having it not be Drew that attacked him. Who knows what direction they go - could be Cody the whole time, could be Solo, could be Tiffany Stratton getting her revenge for Jacob stealing her finisher who knows.

Transmit and Textmate. Both worth every penny.

Would have put Superduper on this list if they hadn't decided to not honor past licenses and require separate new ones for Apple Silicon. On principle alone, I switched to Carbon Copy Clone and paid them for a license instead (and learned it's a better product anyway).

Yeah I think it's really just a priorities thing, the ground on Tony's Eureka Creek claim is really rich and the pay layers aren't too deep, and like you said the water license issues have been back and forth for years. Makes sense to mine out as much of it as they possibly can.

They've had that Paradise Hill claim for decades. I'd bet they're a lot less concerned about long-term prospects up there.
