I don't know what this is but as a Buffett fan, give me the Pascagoula reference.

I like Vans a lot. Probably my second favorite shoe. Most of them I find really comfortable and stylish, especially the Soft Cush and Pop Cush old school style.
I agree on the heel for the slip ons being uncomfortable, at least at first. That's why I'm not high on that style.
But they need longer laces!!! 🤣

2024-07-09 20:28:09

- reply

valid.
I don't hate their slip ons but I don't love them either.
But my dress shoes are slip on and those I would never go back.

2024-07-09 19:54:29

My newest conspiracy theory is that Vans intentionally sell shoes with short laces so that you'll buy longer ones.
Prove me wrong. 🤣

I don't know if they did or didn't. There's nothing wrong w asking for conservation. I also know most people are selfish & won't listen anyway.
Largely what people have heard is bullshit. Sure capacity gets close to trouble from time to time but there hasn't been anything like 2021 before or since.
That's not to say there isn't room for improvement. But, Texas Rs.
It's also pretty fucked up that people sit around in blue states rooting for the Texas power grid to fail.

not sure how widespread 2011 was. I live in the biggest city in Texas and there was nothing significant from that.
People like to make so much from one event but the truth is Texas' grid isn't really any more vulnerable than the rest of the country given the ever changing climate concerns.
For us specifically winter will always be more of a risk than summer bc of solar power.
Now just imagine if Texas leaders actually talked about renewables like they matter. (They know they do)

There has been one major outage in my entire life and it was over 3 years ago in the winter.

2024-07-08 17:23:24

it really does. Most of the shitty policies they've enacted (or want to) the majority of Texans don't even support.
The problem is convincing people to vote accordingly.
Most of the time they end up focusing on one thing and that one thing often tends to be, do they have an R next to their name?
It's all pretty dumb.

without a doubt the extremist politics are absolute horseshit and they get the headlines. And it's deserved.
But the truth is there's a few really terrible actors speaking on behalf of millions and that's what really sucks about it. Bc in terms of daily life, it is a pretty great place to live for the most part.

I thought Paramount Plus was going away and merging with another streamer.
Can we FF to that?

No idea how close to reality this movie was but it's a damn good movie!

I remember not liking the movie - same reason. Only recently, decades later, did I read the book and I thought it was petty good! I did them so far apart I couldn't begin to recall the differences.

I mean, it just looks preposterously stupid.
I'm looking around for movie cameras bc surely we're filming a sequel to The Running Man and that's the only way this can be real life.
Right?

I saw my first Cybertruck on the highway today (I have previously seen one on neighborhood roads) & it somehow looks even another level of ridiculous on a highway.
I'm sure there are other items that accomplish this as well but this has to be top of the material list in terms of announcing to the world all at once ...
- I have lousy taste
- I'm not smart with money
- I'm probably a political infant
- I have a small penis
- I'm definitely a huge douchebag
- I deserve to be laughed at

you're certainly not wrong but I think we also have to come to grips with how many people, companies, businesses, sports teams, celebrities, on and on and on.... remain there in spite of it. The site has not crumbled away and died. It's still constantly referenced on shows and in the news. It's still thriving.
People still use it. A lot of people.
Hard to believe, but true all the same.

I saw one of these just this week and I truly couldn't believe they still existed.

there's no relaxing with investing. It's akin to gambling and most people are guessing.
The only retirement plan that ever made sense was a company pension and they stole them from us.

Texas Republicans have announced their new platform and in it is a resolution to deny any majority vote winner from taking office unless they also win a majority of State Counties.
This, of course, is an impossibility for any Democrat and they know it. Say nothing that some of the counties in Texas literally have less than 100 people in them.
How do you ensure changing state demographics are never a worry? Change the rules & eliminate a true Democracy.
Dark times, people. Dark times.

I dunno, I used to have to get up to change the channel and use a rotary phone and now I have a phone, millions of songs, a computer, a camera, and a camcorder all in my pocket.

A LARGE percentage of people I encountered who hated the ending didn't understand it.
And while I'll never understand those people.....I don't know how it could have been more clear .... the most annoying haters were the ones who were mad about every little question not being resolved bc they completely missed the point of the show.
It's the greatest finale and the greatest show in television history. The. End.
Pun intended.

2024-05-23 18:51:45

that's no maybe about it. That WAS the point of LOST.
I always said the greatest mystery of the show was how everyone thought it was about all the wild island stuff but all along it was really about the people.

Yea saw that. 90210 is far far too low. The cultural phenomenon of that show ALONE deserves a higher ranking.

2024-05-10 23:12:38

This list probably starts with the original 90210 and My So Called Life for me. Pleased to see Glee and Felicity on the list. Those would also rank very high for me.
