remember when texas had a big lead and thought they were going to win and advance even though they aren't really even in the big 12 and shouldn't be allowed to participate at all?

my cheap old grill has died and i've decided to replace it rather than try to fix it. any recommendos? not looking to spend an enormous ammount and i will probably 99% just use it for steaks and burgers. natural gas, if that matters.

all the rivian suv's look great. i love the clearance you get with the r1. pretty leary of putting money into a new vehicle/company with such low production, but in a couple years i might get comfortable with it.

« on: March 08, 2024, 02:11:03 PM »hello friends. Making some changes to my Portugal trip and I was in computer smashing mode last night. A friend recommended a nice beach area outside of Lisbon so we decided to book a few days there. I haven't used Amex MR points much and Mrs SF has a crap ton due to a Platinum promotion. I was going to book through the Amex site but Mrs SF looked at the place directly on her phone and it was available for like $150 less a night for the same room!!! Is this a normal thing? I didn't even bother using the points because of the price difference.
it's pretty normal for the capital one travel site to give you higher prices. chase is usually a little better. haven't used amex.

my guess is that dems will be able to hang onto the governorship in north carolina through another election cycle.

there isn't very much in american politics that is enjoyable currently, but one moment to savor occurred last night when california democrats told katie porter to get mumped.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: Possible WW3 thread
« on: February 26, 2024, 02:11:07 PM »Putin blames US for invading Ukraine because they expanded NATO.If only we could have kept double tapping weddings with drone strikes, we could have kept Putin honest on Ukraine!!
what is the most peaceful period in world history against a high school teacher's overactive conscience, i ask you.
Putin blames US for invading Ukraine because they withdrew from Afghanistan.
How are these different?
the first one is a motive that is an invention of a variety of analysts and ideologues that is refuted virtually every time putin speaks on the issue.
the second is reporting (admittedly not first hand from putin himself) that describes a signal (not a motive) as perceived and interpreted by putin that costs for invading ukraine would be acceptably low/short-term.

« on: February 25, 2024, 06:49:37 PM »I think it is hard to say that Ukraine would have for sure prevailed if the US and other allies continued the same level of support.i don't think the tone of this thread reflects the current reality in ukraine (us aid stopped, ukraine running out of munitions and men, russia advancing) very well.
things have only gotten worse over the last month. it's incredibly depressing how badly we've mumped up. i suspect we will endure the consequences of these mistakes for the rest of our lives.

I think the sanctions not really working and Russias war time economy being so good has been hardly discussed.
1. the world would take a completely different message from america being unable to supply/abandoning ukraine and ukraine falling despite solid american support.
2. i'd push back some on the latter points. i think the oil restrictions have meaningfully cut russian oil receipts (especially earlier, but still some currently) and import restrictions have been helpful in hampering russian military industry, although obviously not to the level one would like.
