WEC might be a happier fandom for you. Definitely more exciting racing too. Though hopefully 2026 changes improve things over at the circus.

Well, even translation issues aside, we can have at least protestant, Catholic, and Jewish bibles.

And beyond the regular version, we’ll also need large print, pocket-sized, and kids editions with pictures. And a novelty podium sized edition too, and the “study” version with the footnotes, concordance, maps, introductions, etc.

Oh, did you want the red letter edition where everything Jesus actually says is in red?

And did you want hard or soft side? Leather? Which color? Or maybe a 365-day devotional edition.

Reminds me of my first day of intro to programming my first semester of freshman year at a small Christian Reformed college.

It opened with prayer and then a lecture on how technology is inherently evil. Then we started writing a java applet.

I applied to a state school within 2 weeks of starting.

They were famously at odds over that … at least publicly.

It’s also essentially the only thing on his platform today that counts as a “Democratic” position

This stooge is intentionally ratcheting the Overton window.

More neocons in the democratic party.

True! If the Democratic party apparatus can’t galvanize and find a better candidate, it’s just another sign that they’re beyond fully cooked.

I wanted something different from “knife fighter” Ken Martin, but either he’s getting the cold shoulder from the old guard, or he’s pandering to them. Come on Ken, be the Brutus/Longinus to Schumer’s (et al.) Caesar.

This fucking thumb decides to run to the center in a heavily democratic district with his only Democratic bonafide being anti-trump. This isn’t laudable at all. It risks losing a potentially progressive seat to a Lincoln project/bulwark conservative “Democrat.”

If he wanted to do some actual good, he could primary a MAGAt republican in a safely red district. But no.

Apologies, 6yr full service warranty, 12yr system warranty.

This is the debate we had when redoing our kitchen. It hurt me to add $8k to the bill (the difference) just for the fridge, but it really is genuinely a different experience. At least it came with a 6 year manufacturer warranty too.

The drawers glide smoothly on real hinges with a soft close, the shelves are individually lit and glass, what plastic there is is thicker and smoother. Everything is easy to adjust or remove for cleaning. It even has a cartridge that removes ethylene gas and produce stays noticeably much fresher.

And as a bonus, I got to support a union manufacturer in the US (subzero).

Definitely going on my list of “memes you can hear” … Or at least we olds can.

Cowboy caviar

I think we’re only missing Wham! Last Christmas for my nightmare list from working retail.

Well, and anything from the Amy Grant Xmas album, but that’s my dad’s fault.

Oh wait, can’t forget Christmas shoes… (Shudders involuntarily).

They have some very premium brands as well, that definitely deserve praise: hardin’s creek, little book especially.

Anything labeled Jim beam is swill to meh (except Lineage, but you’ll never see that on a shelf). The old grandad (bonded or 114) line is bang/buck.

Love it. Gives a new meaning to JBOD too: junk box of disks!

Makes for a pretty good song too.

Hey, you forgot his most important qualification: children’s book author.

Drei bier ist auch ein schnitzel und dann hast du nichts getrunken.

Three beers are also a schnitzel and then you drank nothing.

I don’t speak German, but this phrase spoke to me.

Sometimes you dialed the wrong number and somebody totally unexpected would answer.

You just apologized for dialing the wrong number.

I still have several of my childhood friend’s numbers stuck in my head.

Absolutely.

This irony, however, is delicious.
