…here’s the thing most folks don’t realise: as a metropolitan area, austin skews far more conservative than san antonio…
(we actually meet in the basement of the alamo)
As a European, the whole registering to vote thing is honestly one of the wildest parts of the US elections to me. It’s so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation.
…what the electorate consider a bug the politicians consider a feature…
…so you’ve never played waverace: that’s the look of the brightly-lit tropical island environment for the first course, which immediately shifts a hazy muted marsh on the second course, then a stormy industrial-port waterfront, then a spectacular urban night course, each presenting entirely different takes on ambient lighting, dominant environmental color pallets, and even water and atmospheric weather conditions…
…that’s some clever gastroetymology…
…i’ve done a buck fourty-five in my convertible with the top down: it’s LOUD…at one fifty-five, pushing with all two hundred horsepower, my car can’t make any further headway against the wind and buildings are a lot less aerodynamically efficient…
…i’ve ridden out a half-dozen hurricanes but category fives are get-out-of-town devastating…
…the elise’s 2ZZ-GE is nearly as highly-strung as the F20 (splits the difference from the F20C at 8500 RPM) but it’s also 10% less displacement, which may make the most difference in fuel economy compared to pushing 40% more weight in the S2000…
…i wish my mazdas revved so high!..
…i’m surprised to read that; my elise and MX-5s all get around thirty miles per gallon on the street, it’s only on tracks where fuel economy drops precipitously…
…tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini…
…hey, that’s just like my library’s old PET 2001, my first computer!..
…all that and you don’t even mention that he’s been an open russian asset for eight years?..
…the blunt truth is that he’s in too deep, as are most of the remaining republican party, and the only way to keep their heads at this point is to double-down on seizing the apparatus of state to dismiss their criminal culpability…
…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…
…i bought a mazda 2 ten years ago and it was fantastically practical, agile, efficient, and affordable; came time for a new car and they’d replaced it with a f*cking SUV…
…ah, i may be conflating contextal menus with opening new tabs, since that’s the primary UI mode i use to do so: regardless, any kind of shenanigans which aim to disable application-level UI get under my skin…
…and now you’ve hit upon my other peeve: (mostly shopping) sites coded to disable browsing links in a new tab…
…i don’t know that i shouldn’t’ve seen it, but the 1978 invasion of the body snatchers was my introduction to existential horror at the ripe age of seven years…
…what shouldn’t i have seen?..about a year earlier, a family friend handed-down a big brown grocery bag stacked to the rim with pre-code EC horror comics: that was some teeth-gnashingly gruesome stuff…
…are you presuming her gender?..it’s a woman’s right to grow a beard if she chooses…
…just ripples in the carbon cycle, momentary standing waves until we lose coherence…
…if someone’s been banned on the order of twenty times, it may behoove them to contemplate whether they’re the problem rather than the communities which keep banning them…
