I agree - but what I would guess “respectable” means to him would involve HOAs pretty much anywhere in the country. Every godforsaken cookie cutter subdivision in the world uses a HOA to offset city costs that would be passed on to the developer.

Note the “respectable” qualifier - suspicious that means new construction tract-McMansions here.

It wasn’t a good episode, but it was suprising - I was guessing the twist would either be that half the population are born female OR that the gender-reassignment surgery turned out to be superficial and that they were just bound up in believing everyone was ‘male.’

He HAD to work with the Republicans because you, yes YOU, fucking abandoned him in 2009. He had a Democratic super majority in 2009. Had you, yes YOU, shown up when he begged you to, we would have already had a fucking public option for healthcare.

I’m shocked that I like both equally. I can’t stand Seth McFarlane and Family Guy but Orville hews just close enough to straight Trek with a few gags that I’m enjoying it (for now), ST:D is closer to TV Trek than Pine Movie Trek.

It’s a good time to be a nerd who spent way too much time drawing ships that could fit in…

ST:D is commercial free.

I’d guess it’s the network shows they already had different licensing for that will have ads even under commercial-free plans.

Despite the touchscreens and such, I thought it did pretty well at looking like a Star Trek show (vs. the new movies). You can’t expect them to go back in time from what we actually have on ship’s tech and while the ship’s lighting was more dramatic than the other series, it wasn’t all quite as whiz-bang as the…

After my grandfather’s dementia progressed to needing to live in a nursing home, I talked the administrator into letting me leave his truck in a parking spot next to his patio. He had no keys and the patio gate was locked and too high for a 90-year old to get over - but the mere presence made him significantly happier…

Was Obama, a staunch pragmatist, a turd sandwich? Was Gore? Was Bill C? Was W. Bush? Was Dean?

Who understands the appeal of anyone else’s obsessive collections? Why would anyone want a room full of duck paintings and memorabilia or superhero statues or Republican Roman coinage or etc. etc. etc..

I would watch the shit out of an all-dog soccer game.

So a fair amount of time the Great White Hype argument would make sense... but Canelo is a pale-ass redhead and GGG is from Kazakhstan. MAGA hats don’t have an ethnic or nationality-related rooting interest here.

XBox One and Apple TV. Perhaps they have a grid option hidden too.

Tried out Sling and Hulu Live recently because I want to be able to DVR and watch Premier League soccer and Turner Classic Movies is a bonus.

Cancelled both in the trial period because they make finding stuff to watch way too complicated. Just use the same guide setup that every cable/TV service has used since the ‘80s…

Isn’t it borderline delusional to expect more from the USMNT for decades to come?

American soccer need elite athletes choosing soccer (possible, if football declines?) over the Big 3 (or 4) but it also needs those athletes to treat it as a year round sport while young, the academy system of top soccer countries, a…

There’s a 95% chance that a ‘watch guy’ is an asshole. I’ve never been able to figure out why.

Everything I’ve heard so far sounds kinda generic power-poppy, with so many musicians it sounds busy.

The biggest risk to Mayweather was breaking his hand (again) on McGregor’s face.

Huh? I don’t think Piana would approve of my workout routine of remembering to go deadlift in the garage once a week.

Sure, Felix doesn’t idolize him. He appears to find Piana fascinating. Of the two people in your link, the one he attempts to emulate in any way... is not Rich Piana.
