Why is this here? Crockett is one of the loudest voices on the left in Texas, and along with James Talarico the closest thing to rising stars we have here.
Crockett has come under fire from Republican members of Congress because of her often terse criticisms of President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, she called the president an "old white nepo baby" and a bully.
I saw Master and Commnder at 10fps on a 2" screen because I managed to get video working on the iRiver H320 I got because even 5(?) years later I was still part of the generation of nerds who thought iPods were just "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
Even then... pretty good movie.
HTC had quite a run there. I still miss my HTC One X, back when it was actually interesting to get a new phone. These days I routinely forget which iPhone it is that I have.
Can't contaminate the motor oil, soot, rubber, broken glass, microplastics, litter, and accidentally-spilled coffee with purposely-spilled coffee! I hope the enforcement officers didn't damage their pearls, or let them slip into the drain, from all that clutching.
More seriously, this smacks of citation quotas to me.
Rumor is that Stephen Jones is as football-blind as Jerry and twice as cheap. Cowboys might finally stop playing chicken with every major free agent contract, but that won't help much if they turn into the Raiders, Cardinals, or Bengals.
It's unlikely she'll be returning to school before the end of the year. So I think the only thing we can do now is...
Pray for her?
No, what use will that do?
It's the utter bafflement that sells it. The nun not only disbelieves in the power of prayer, but can't even comprehend why someone would believe.
Unexpected Derry Girls. Well played.
This one is way below $100, but about ten years ago I bought a roll of twist tie wire at a dollar store. It's fifty or a hundred feet, with a little guillotine cutter. It's still just a bunch of twist tie, but it punches WAY above its weight with quality of life improvement. No more hunting for the one you dropped, or wondering how you'll close up a veggie bag. Also good for (fairly light) pictures that use wire instead of sawtooth hardware, and I've used it in a pinch when I didn't have cable ties. I dunno. It's just an oddly useful substance to have lying in your junk drawer.
I haven't, but it looks interesting and even more bonkers than the movie.
Because it's mildly transgressive to a certain demographic, and tools and internet speeds of the day allowed for visuals that were close enough to the inspirations for people to find them interesting. Subverting "innocent" characters has been a trope since at least Tijuana bibles of the 1920s and I assume much longer. Specifically portraying beloved animated characters as adult and jaded would also have been directly evocative of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
Eventually, most of that demographic comes to realize that the transgressiveness itself is only so interesting and there is usually something of value in the interesting property that distance lets them appreciate, so a spoof needs to have other things going for it to hold an audience's interest (e.g. Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which is still brilliant). That said, there is a certain durability to the low-hanging fruit when the subjects of the satire remain popular to continually cycling cohorts of kids who have the unmitigated gall to begin growing up. :-)
I haven't really thought about anything remotely in spitting distance of sim racing since I was playing XBox One Forza games (mostly the Horizon one that is set in the Riviera-ish region) with a Thrustmaster TMX (I think?) clamped to a Home Depot Fliptop table.
This looks really cool. May I assume the Moza drive unit was the priciest component?
Not low effort at all!
Because heeler, that's why.
We would also accept "Ed Zeppelin."
From the "No Ideas of My Own" Department...
Ahhh, that makes some amount of sense. Jasmine is a breath of fresh air, and one way or another I do think we'll be hearing from her for a long time, but yeah, "hopium" is probably the right notion for this run.
