What's weird is The Big Sandy Shoot, an event where machine gun collectors just shoot their machine guns for days on end, strictly prohibits anyone from carrying personal guns.

I just don’t get guns. If I could fire an RPG that would rule, but I don’t see that happening in this country, let alone in my area code. Shooting bullets is either super boring or everybody but me knows why it’s fun.

They bring everything from little submachine pistols to actual tanks with firing cannons. They fly drones across the range occasionally for people to try to shoot down and at night they fire off thousands of tracer rounds and explosives to create as big a light show as they can muster. It's nuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EUmQ719wy0

What are they gonna do next? Make people buy drinks at the stadium? Put a giant talking adolf Hitler head in the middle of the speedway that spouts out the wine list on loop at 105dB during the whole race? And the wine isn’t even chilled, it’s actually a little warm by the time it gets to you? They are slowly phasing this poo poo in and people are COMPLACENT by lack of VIOLENT PROTEST!

No, you have to drink coffee and at least watch back to school to the scene where he’s holding books up in front of the dudes face in the shower and pouring coffee down his throat while he’s cramming for exams.

I think the funniest loving poo poo i ever saw was god drat nascar drivers embracing sim racing as an alternative to being on the track during the pandemic. I mean at that point *gently caress it* Put them in the stupid Fanatec setups again, and turn off the rules. Let em get as aggressive as possible, and lets have a real fun time, give everyone what they want, and no one gets hurt or has to sit their rear end in the texas heat to listen to the most aggravating example of the doppler effect in the world.

Same with fireworks displays.

is there some kind of new 'thing' that Texas is the place to be for bitcoin mining or something? i've seen it brought up a few times but I just figured it was people making fun of our idiot governor's posts about HEB and bitcoins, opposed to anything real. other states have lower electrical rates so i have no idea why on earth you would want to mine bitcoins in Texas. of course everything involving bitcoin is stupid as gently caress so i guess that shouldn't matter

It cannot be that stupid. after 2020 i don't think i can ever again say "it cannot be that stupid". it can always be more stupid, 100000x edit: looks like the average kw/hr cost in Texas is 11.36¢ / kWh for last month, average of 11.49¢ per kWh for all of 2020. maybe if you commit to the huge use plans you could knock it down 1-2 cents, so lets say its about 9/kWh. all the bitcoin mining forums and blogs i can find use assumptions of for power cost at like 6 cents or less to breakeven (depends on bitcoin value as well). how the gently caress does anyone make money on mining unless you steal electricity?

Texas is attempting to set itself up as a new California but for more conservative types. Tons of people have pulled up roots from California and moved to Texas especially since Covid. No idea if it confers any actual advantages though aside from feeling 'more free' then California.

No idea if it confers any actual advantages though aside from feeling 'more free' then California. No estate tax in texas etc etc. I found this out when a bunch of youtubers / internet people i followed mass exodus'd to Texas a few years ago for tax reasons. Its basically a big tax haven with internet infrastructure. Cause deregulation. With the huge uptick on our grid, our grid being isolated from the national grid/under supported with any sort of real mandate to update it enough to handle the influx of people, and climate change, Blam, im expecting the entire thing to completely fold this summer and texas to turn into the movie Dawn of the Dead except its just texans, living texans, eating texans.

Back in 2001 and I was in high school I was playing Quake 3 all afternoon at my friend's house, and we kept dominating this guy named Dale Earnhardt. Like, it really stood out. Just complete domination. The next morning I'm getting driven home and find out that Dale Earnhardt died from a crash around the same time this was all going down. We did this. We killed #3. Turn left Dale....NOOOOOOOOOooooo!!!! Nelson Mandingo fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jun 22, 2021 |

Simple solution: coolers are allowed, but can only be filled with guns and ammunition. Everyone at the race is required to bring a gun for entry. When the green flag drops, everyone has to fire their gun at other spectators. Last person standing gets to pick the winner of the race which is never actually run.

Texans are the dumbest people I've met in my entire life. By far. From anywhere. And not just a one off thing. At least 20+ of them just absolute painfully dumb. I still am sort of in disbelief. How could so many people be so stupid but all come from the same geographical region? But I saw it with my own eyes. Coolers isn't their problem. Grade school education is.

The dumbest person I've ever known is a Texan and it was literally traumatic for me to realize slowly over a period of years how deep the dumb goes. I am still processing it to this day.
