    Has Anyone Ever Dated A Liberal?

    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.

    Why are MAGAturds so whiny about wind energy?

    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.

    New truck

    I just traded in my 2021 wrx with 5k miles and I got 2,500 more in trade in value than what I paid for it. Got me a 2022 taco 4x4 TRD off-road for MSRP and no dealer add-ons. That is an average deal before the shortage, but is best I could do at any of the ~7 Toyota dealerships in Houston.
  5. https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-tv-series-begins-production-this-year Amazon Prime Video's adaptation of the Fallout franchise of video games is entering production this year, and its two lead writers have been named, according to reports in Deadline and Variety. It was previously known that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (who worked together on HBO's Westworld) would be executive producers, and Variety and Deadline both report that Nolan will direct the first episode of the show. But Nolan and Joy will not be the primary creative leads on the series. Rather, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner have been attached as showrunners. Robertson-Dworet wrote the screenplays for the superhero movie Captain Marvel and the 2018 Tomb Raider film adaptation. She is also writing a future Star Trek film planned for release in 2023. Wagner is best known as one of the main writers on the sketch comedy series Portlandia and for work on modern sitcoms like The Office, Silicon Valley, and Baskets. Robertson-Dworet brings the science fiction and action/adventure credentials, and Wagner brings the comedy, covering two foundations of the Fallout franchise's narrative style. @mmmmm...beer @crackattack

    Lithium Mining & Disposal vs Gasoline

    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.

    Things that make you go hmmmmm

    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.

    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.

    New Chips

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

    Geeks who think Biden and Trump both suck

    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.

    Friday Night Boredom

    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.

    What Geek Has No Teeth

    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.
