There are many billions of reasons Elon isn't entirely insane, but I know he rubs some the wrong way - not giving one side everything they want will have that effect.And Elon is not an example of sanity
About the wine, no hidden meanings on my part. The Burgundy shape looks better than the Bordeaux shape to me, at least among the assets I have.
We'd trade them Austin for.... Well, I'd have to do a little research on that - the pickin's a pretty slim. Hell, we might just give it to them.Well to borrow another Lord of the Rings reference. Californians and Texans get along like Elves and Dwarves (and I'm not saying Legolas and Gimli) or maybe like oil and fire. The two states are opposite in political ideology and american media likes to play up the divisions.
Given my avatar, I think of the Dwarves as more noble and true. Feanor, Morgoth, Sauron, even Legolas' dad, were all pretty shady and varying degrees of evil, so Cali can have them.I won't ask who are the Elves and who the Dwarves, as it would be a subjective answer depending on who I ask
What I meant with the Rivendell example is that, opposed to the Texan's perspective of Califordor, surely most Californians don't see their state as bad and perhaps perceive Texas, Idaho, or North Dakota (for example) as the real Mordor. You live in a country with high mobility, so it's not that hard to move to Idaho, Georgia, or Wyoming if you are not that happy with your state. That has consequences, obviously, but remember only 48% of the current adult Californians were born in the state.
Austin has always been lost. About every major city in Texas is falling one by one.We'd trade them Austin for.... Well, I'd have to do a little research on that - the pickin's a pretty slim. Hell, we might just give it to them.![]()

As for the Cupcake comment - it's typically pretty crappy wine, but, they are college girls and you have to get what you can afford. At least it wasn't Boone's Farm or Mad Dog!
Thanks for the chart - understand it a bit better now. Will have to look through the profiles next time and see if it appears I missed anything.

Because the gray matter between the ears of most of us here is more or less like a bag of cats...Why do I feel like I walked into a particular thread that recently had an off-topic forum started instead of the expected My Dorm thread ...
That would be Amarillo. I got stranded there durin winter back in '87.Austin has always been lost. About every major city in Texas is falling one by one.
That might sound good if we wanted extreme taxes, socialism and rolling blackouts every late spring through summer. But, nah!Money doesn't make one sane. Gadaffi's richness in his best times surpasses that of Elon.
If you don't want Austin, you can return it to us (with all the companies there, obviously). And also the rest of the state. You will get universal healthcare and a good power grid.![]()
I'm a dog guy, so that doesn't apply here.Because the gray matter between the ears of most of us here is more or less like a bag of cats...
To be fair, several of the Europeans here (and likely at least a couple of the Yanks) are probably at least quasi-socialistic... I get that sort of thing doesn't really fly in Texas... well, at least not outside of Austin...That might sound good if we wanted extreme taxes, socialism and rolling blackouts every late spring through summer. But, nah!
And it isn't the companies, it's the politicians and the group of folks that think "Keep Ausin Weird" is a mission from, well, not God, but from something supernatural.
I'm a dog guy, so that doesn't apply here.
And I'm really thinking that the Dorm needs a dog or two. A loyal and fierce pair of German Shepherds or similar to serve as guard dogs and pets - maybe they have a couple at the base that can move in with Amanda and Eva. No Chihuahuas, though: they're the cats of the dog world, but less smart. Also, no beagles - they're good dogs, but bark and chew things too much, and it might offend Kim.
I love Kim and am looking forward to her development and her scenes, so I'd never seek to offend her.
There are a few that I manwhore in and I did start a manwhore save in this one. But yeah. You're correct.Dark is a monogamist. He always seems to pick a single LI in any game.
Now we are talking about guard dogs... exception made for the Mute, they aren't territorial. But a nice big Rottweiler or a pair of Doberman would work just fine (just don't cut their ears or tails, that's barbaric).To be fair, several of the Europeans here (and likely at least a couple of the Yanks) are probably at least quasi-socialistic...

Oh, and I'd be cool with a Great Pyrenees or two... or a Malamute... or a Newfoundland/German Shepherd mix (had the latter growing up and he was a great dog).
That's not a dog. It's a floof.
When I worked at a pet store in HS, we'd attach those to a stick and use them to dust the floors at close.That's not a dog. It's a floof.
Eva would look great in that position in certain scenes. ;PI'll go with my rank:
#1 Martha
#2 Amanda (right now)

#3 is in order of appearance ¿Surprised by Eva's position?![]()
I honestly almost added a Rotty to my list; and, even though Mutes aren't territorial, they tend to be very emotionally bonded to the person they work for.Now we are talking about guard dogs... exception made for the Mute, they aren't territorial.
