    The 2024 GQP Thread: Because Deutsche Gopher Fan ENDED the Last One

    The GOP must be running scared in Iowa. The governor just called the legislature into special session in a week to pass tax incentives for a supposed steel mill to be built in southeast Iowa. Never mind that just yesterday Trump said it was a done deal and local politicians said it was going to...

    Gear Grinding 10: F-You! F-You! F-You! You're cool! F-You! I'm Out!

    New laptop was supposed to be delivered today. Requires a signature, but no worries since I work from home on Mondays. Wife and kiddo both get home around 3. At 3:45 I leave the house to head to the store for 20 minutes to get provisions for dinner. Of course FedEx shows up during that 20 minute...

    MLB 2026: The dying of the light

    PCA capped off the season with his 40th stolen base, getting him into the 40/40 club and likely guaranteeing he'll be the unanimous NL MVP. I was lucky enough to see him and the Cubs twice this year, including for his first career 3 HR game against Cincy. His swing reminds me a lot of Griffey...

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    Everyone on a normal municipal water system is drinking recycled sewer water. That's why we have water treatment facilities. It's like the morons who dumped an entire reservoir because one guy peed in it (and tried to charge him for it), ignoring both 1) all the wildlife that do the exact same...

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    Until i see something about this on a non-social media site, I'm skeptical that it's real. Everything appears to link back to either Twitter or Instagram. It's allegedly from an event on 9/10 in the Quad Cities. Not saying it couldn't be real, but I would think a week out it would've hit the...

    MLB 2026: The dying of the light

    Read an article about Mets fans giving Alonso a curtain call and some current Mets being butthurt about it. You're being paid millions, while the fans are paying thousands. Suck it up, Sallies.

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    This is from 2011, so the actual inequality is worse. There's also a 3rd graph somewhere which shows people's estimated actual distribution, and it's still way off.

    Gender Studies 2: Boogaloo

    But was it about ethics in journalism? (Not sure if that's too deep a cut for this audience or not).

    Leopards Ate My Face! The Official Thread.

    Except one of the fundamental duties of government is to ensure the populace is fed. To the extent farm subsidies ensure that basic function, I have no problem with the subsidies themselves. But farmers need to say thank you and shut the fuck up about other socialist policies rather than acting...

    USCHO Music: That's Me Inside Your Head

    People watching before the BTS concert at Soldier Field has been amazing. Early leaders in favorite outfits include the guy in the Snow White dress, the girl going full Taylor Swift, and the woman in the Harley Quinn getup. Also finally realized who is keeping the entire pleather industry in...

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    Put another way, I abhor the designated hitter and agree with Crash Davis that there should be a constitutional amendment outlawing it. I still want the Cubs to employ it so long as their opponents use it, however.

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    I understand that one side gets away with them and will still get elected regularly while the other side gets scolded for having a fraction of the extremism of the first. The double standard has been in place and been bullshiat for decades.

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    You mean like all Republicans (and the establishment Dems who take AIPAC funding) are doing? Fark Independents(tm) who somehow always fell into BSABSVR were a joke 25 years ago with W. These days they're just rebranded MAGAts.

    2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

    Most margins of error in any polling are based on a 95% confidence interval. So in the long run, about 1 out of every 20 polls should miss by more than that. Then there are rarer and rarer outliers beyond that. But the point is they still happen even when everything is done correctly, and...

    Hobbies - A thread for other things we kill time doing.

    With the daughter away at summer camp for a few weeks and my wife doing the full week of RAGBRAI, I decided to indulge the definitely-not-a-midlife-crisis (because I don't believe in such things) and did a motorcycle track day out in the middle of no where Nebraska. 30 minutes on track/30...

    World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

    My idea to fix the offside rule: Extend the line marking the top of the penalty area to the sidelines. If the ball was legally played between that line and the goal line, then there's no offside call. Essentially a hybrid blue line from hockey. Keeps the rule in tact for anything played from...

    Cars: 2015

    I had a 2006 Civic for a decade before the kiddo was born and currently have a 2016 CRV with nearly 180k miles on it. Both were bought new and they've treated me fine. Hoping to get to 200k on the CRV before replacing it, especially since I just had the timing chain replaced a few months back...

    Investing

    When you die, your estate gets a stepped up basis for all assets. So your executors can sell what they need to pay off your outstanding debts without any capital gains taxes. So you own 1,000,000,000 in investments. The bank loans you 10,000,000 at 1% secured by some fraction of your...
