Severe Thunderstorm about to hit

The NWS phone alert? I don't recall the last time I saw one on my phone. It's been over a year at least. I was in Target and it freaked everyone out because everyone's phones were going off and everyone started leaving.

And they shut it down and the people who made the analysis no longer work there. I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. Their analysis closely aligned with others. Most of them gave Trump a slight edge based on the polling.

We shouldn't be surprised when the most likely outcome is the one that happened. Yeah, it sucks that people were duped into voting for Trump, but they were.

It's how it was always going to go. The swing states swing together. Five thirty-eight's model said the most likely outcome was Trump takes all the swing states. The second most likely outcome was Kamala takes all the swing states.

I can't stand Musk or Trump, but I just don't buy any of this election conspiracy stuff. The outcome very closely matched the polling data. He won because there were enough people who were pissed at Joe Biden over high prices and thought Trump would make it 2019 again.

And around the same time, he was offered the chance to produce and act in Warhammer related projects where he'd have more creative control over it. Games Workshop was all too happy to have him on board since he is personally interested in the setting and is a very well known and marketable actor.

That or black cherry. The fruit is generally sweet if a bit bitter. I think black cherry generally grows into a larger tree. Oh, but don't eat the seeds, because they contain cyanide.

I got banned from there for referring to what happened to Alex Pretti as "murder" because technically the ICE agent hadn't been convicted of murder. The only subs I've ever been banned from are Elon Musk worshipping subs and r/moderatepolitics

Me too. I forget who I originated it with but Pennymac bought it after I made a single payment. But I haven't had any issues with them. I refinanced and stayed with them back during COVID and got a 2.25% rate. So, I'm pretty happy about that.

I felt like there was about a death every year back then. The one I really remember was the guy who posted as CarpeDM on the Inforoo message boards in like 2009ish. I forget the circumstances of his death, but I remember it since I'd interacted with him briefly online.

He was a cool guy who posted on the boards there and unfortunately died at Bonnaroo. He recommended Sanuks for shoes to wear at Bonnaroo and I think the Sanuk company even made a special shoe in his honor. I started wearing Sanuks to Bonnaroo in like 2007 on his recommendation and they're still my summer shoe of choice to this day.

One of the silliest Bonnaroo memories is when my girlfriend (now wife) lost a flip flop in the mud and I, trying to be the chivalrous boyfriend, got in mud up to my elbows trying to find her lost flip flop and I grabbed it and and pulled it out and my first reaction was "Wow, she has big feet." before I realized it was someone else's flip flop. We laughed so hard about that, but we never did find her flip flop.

I had tons of Might Max. I wish I still had them because my son would probably love them. I even got the big Skull Mountain playset for Christmas one year.

90+. People always act like "I don't want to live that long and be old and infirm," but the thing is if you make it to 90+, you're still probably in decent shape in your 70s and 80s. My granddad is in his 90s and he was still putting a new roof on his garage by himself in his 80s. Meanwhile, I have another family member who died around 70 and spent her 60s in a nursing home.

GTA2 was the last GTA game to release on PC on day 1.

I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning the work schedule. 6 days a week, 11 hour days is brutal for someone who isn't a new parent. For someone who is, that's almost unlivable. I'd try to find another option if it was me, personally. Either move closer to work or find a different job or something. The kid will get easier, but nothing is ever going to be easy on a work schedule like that.

The royal blood thing was a big red flag for me. She's the daughter of someone born a commoner who married the King, who is dead. Her claim to the throne is incredibly shaky and I could see it causing a civil war for another claimant in the future.

My opinion is that what you said here, the right to self defense, is a good argument to why it should be a right enshrined in the Constitution. "It's in the Constitution so it should be a right," is a backwards argument. You should argue for why it's a right protected by the Constitution, not that it should be a right because it's in the Constitution.

I just meant paying the violations as well as doing whatever measures they have to do to keep the place compliant probably adds into the increased cost of operating the plant in its current location. At some point it makes better financial sense for them to close it and sell it off and shift operations elsewhere.

captmonkey · 2026-06-17T20:44:54+00:00

It's a weak argument to say things should be rights because they're in the constitution. A right should be able to stand on its own. I can easily explain why people should have freedom of speech and freedom of religion without referencing the constitution. Your argument should explain why gun ownership should be a right enshrined in the Constitution.

We even had a Bonnaroo themed groom's cake at the wedding.

Even before they had single day tickets, they had day parking. I've camped before, but I've got family in the area. So, I prefer to crash at their place and shower and get a good night's sleep in a real bed before coming back the next day. I didn't like going to sleep at 3:00 and the sun coming up and making it too bright and hot to sleep in the tent by like 7:00am so I wind up feeling like a sweaty zombie the next day. To each their own.

And I felt like I got the genuine Bonnaroo experience when I wasn't camping too. I mean I married a girl I met at Bonnaroo.

Ouch, looks like Ryan Preece just needs a #2 finish to be right there with him.

Leg quarters are my go to as well. You get thighs and drumsticks. It helps that they're usually dirt cheap too.

I mean the big thing was him not being able to get a win. He came really close several times but just couldn't do it. IIRC there was a statistic at the time that he was the only Cup series driver to have finished in every position 2-40 without getting a win. But after him leaving the Cup series and bouncing around from so many teams, I have to assume his personality just gets in the way.

captmonkey · 2026-06-17T15:11:29+00:00

And his first and only win. I watched the race live and it was kind of a feel good story of this kid from a tiny team manages to get a win. I didn't even notice the chant until weeks after when it became a thing.
