That's a conspiracy I can get behind. I have noticed a lot of times one of them grows a conscience for half a moment something damning comes out about them soon after.

Some cults use a similar tactic. You've joined, you're sucked in, and suddenly if you really want the inner mysteries you have to do something terrible on video to prove your loyalty. Then it's impossible to get out without destroying your life.

I need to train my grip strength to combat my alcohol misuse.

I'm having a ribeye, gratin potatoes, brussel sprouts, and a slice of pie. I'm having a glass of Maker's 46 to cap it off.

I chose to eat alone tonight so I didn't do all the fixings, but it's enough for me. Last week was a tough one and for three days I've chosen not to deal with people. I may go out for a nightcap later but I'm not going to be dealing with anyone while I do.

Apparently, SpaceX has special tactics to stoke his grandiose ego and trick him into giving them the freedom they need.

It's a tale as old as bosses. Many of them have big egos and think that because they're in charge that magically gives them expertise. So if you want to do something you either get them looking at something shiny or you make them think it's their idea.

I had a boss like that ages ago. If I wanted to work on something out of the ordinary I would plant the idea, then a few weeks later I would remind him that he brought it up a while ago. I used the fact that he had a million things going on so he never really remembered who brought it up. I didn't care that he got the credit because I got to work on cool things and expand my repertoire.

That's a great way to go. There are also still some budget options (Sceptre comes to mind) that don't have any smart features in some models. My buddy just picked one up.

It's an absolutely terrible TV, but for his use case it's perfect. He's using it as a karaoke monitor for parties at his house. It's mounted in a covered patio and is dumb as hell.

I wish it were 100% in tomato hornworms. Seeing that 99% of them die before turning into moths makes me think all of the surviving ones just hang out in my garden.

Why do you think we have mostly terrible "journalism" these days?

You have women friends? Have them make your dating profile if you want to date online. Seriously. They'll make you sound awesome while telling the truth. Chances are at least one of them is good at taking pictures.

Can you not have a bit of respect? Some of us are tryin' to bask in moon glow!

They do it so I'm not as ugly. I apologize.

Same. They're both perfectly valid opinions. If it's 4 in the afternoon and I want a burger before a night of hard drinking, keep your damn egg to yourself. If it's 4 in the morning after a night of hard drinking, a runny yolk on a greasy bacon breakfast burger is just what the doctor ordered. But for me hard fried or scrambled just don't feel right.

The Bible perspective and the religious nutjob perspective are two different things. Jesus was too woke for some of these people.

Black lotus, channel, fireball. That was the crazy meta abuse with a 1 turn kill. By the third turn you'd have to have a terrible draw in order to not win.

I thought, though I could be wrong because it was a thousand years ago, that the 4 card rule came between beta and unlimited, but it could have been unlimited and revised. I started with beta and it definitely wasn't in effect then. Folks coming at you with a hand full of lotuses, dark rituals, moxes, and fireballs.

Theoretically, someone could have baked the sugar from lemonade onto their pipes by riding with a cup of it in a cup holder attached to an engine guard. Then hypothetically that person could have had great success removing it using Bike Brite, then taking 000 steel wool to it after the bulk was gone.

I'm not saying it happened, I'm saying you can't prove it happened to me.

In Texas? Eddie Cruz sounds like a guy who drives an El Camino and has a cousin named Cooter. He'd have been the presidential nominee in '16.

"Did you hear about Eddie and Cooter? They running for the big house! Get in the pickup, we're gonna go vote!"

I'm approximately your age. I assumed the same thing. Hell, I thought crazy conspiracy theories were just people pretending "What if..." together.

In my younger days I would have been on a lot of bandwagons just to joke about the people who "didn't get the joke". It turns out I was the one that didn't get it.

Which one of the Cenobites are you?

Yeah, Infinity hates it. I've still got a Firefox browser app pinned that works fine though.

Fitz the Cat happened in '72.
