I agree with everyone when they talk politics and then I try to change the subject quickly. It is the easiest way to deal with it in my opinion.

Hopefully. They removed all our oil rigs off the Texas coast and we need some more structure.

Wyoming alone has enough coal to power the us for 500 years or something ridiculous like that. I am for reliables still though.

Too much stuff to do today, i wish i could sit around the house lazy though.

For anyone that cares, one of the reasons that it is so poor for the environment in the OP is because the processing is being performed in a country with lax environment laws. I am very pro mining of everything, including lithium. When done right it is not an environmental issue, no more than any other mineral. https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/projects/greenbushes-lithium-mine/

The DUI guy i completely understand, there is nothing you can do except keep locking him up for a few years in prison.

When I was a dirtbag skibum in my 20's i had some real winners of some roomates. One was a guy who got busted selling a kg of cocaine to informants, he got a month in jail before I knew him, then I met him working construction and he moved into our party house . He also spent 3 months in the halfway house years later for the crime. He had to spend time in the facility where they transition people from prison to real world. However, it messed him up because it caused he already had a job and the halfway house in montana is in butte so he had to move to a different city for a bit and find a lesser job. The other guy spent a year in prison for his 6th dui. After I moved away i found out he got his 7th and was back in prison, but i am not sure how long they put you away. An internet search gives conflicting numbers on actual percent who are non-violent. Either way, my personal opinion, not that it is worth anything, is to put less people in prison for a less amount of time, and also greatly increase police presence to maybe ~10% higher than it was before all of the national cuts. Edit, the guy who got busted for cocaine did turn his life around and owns a construction company in Oregon, however I don't think the other guy ever will.

I think smaller penalties, but stricter enforcement would be the way to go for non-violent offenses. Increase the police for and try to catch more people. But handle more punishment through community service than incarceration. Make someone clean trash up alongside the highway for a week rather than lock them up. This is not a topic I care a ton about though to be honest. I don't think imprisoning more people will help deter theft though.

Because recycling plastic is a scam.

Generally money from court imposed fines goes to the states general fund. Same fund where most taxes go.

We have the highest rate of incarceration amongst the 1st world countries. I don't think locking people up fixes the problem.

Glad you are feeling better.

Not the right move, it ruins ever thread and keeps other people from checking the site as much. Too much collateral damage if you troll ever thread.

Zapp's hotter than hot jalapeno chips are my favorite, but not too many bad chip flavors imo.

I have never had a TV break. Also, why the hell am I getting always feminine product ads in this thread. This is why I avoid the site like the plague on my work computer.

Go cheap and skip the extended warranty.

Sorry, that truly sucks.

Since I live in Texas and my presidential vote does not matter I will vote 3rd party. If I lived in a potential swing state I would have more of a decision on my hand and I do not know what I would do.

Prepped the pizza dough this evening. Nothing outside of that.

My wife took the kids to a school event. Probably first night I have had alone in a year. I don't even have the TV on. Just surfing the Internet in peace and quiet.

People who live in normal houses should not throw stones either. Let's face it, throwing stones in almost any building is a bad idea.

I have Texans pajamas since pajamas is what I am usually wearing on a lazy Sunday afternoon around the house in the fall.

Top selling jersey in the NFL in december. Houston and dallas metro area are very similar in population and Houston has the young stud QB, yet 3 Dallas players in the top 6 all ahead of Stroud https://www.nflshop.com/top-selling-jerseys/x-249520+z-98608802-3043109587

I voted for rusty because he was in last place and i felt bad for him. What am i voting on again? Worlds tallest midget?

I had 4 wheelers and a dirt bike and one of those books for both Wyoming and Montana. Jeep is good too, but slower on the trails than a motorcycle. The really good fishing still required hiking once you reached the end of the jeep trail.
