    It's probably Carhartt and Patagonia from here on out.

And will outlast everything in the Kohl's but at least a decade.

First poll out with Beto beating Zodiac WARNING AUTOPLAY

A Dem winning a state-wide race in Texas is a shock to the system that gives me a bit of hope.

It is interesting to pick a small county in BanjoStan and see where the kids fled to. Even still, I was interested to see that most people stay in the same state.

I'd touch myself if the Trump rally on October tanks him. I'd do a happy dance at least. Cruz hates Trump and now is counting on Cheeto to save his ass.

He's working 200 hours a week and his personal life is unraveling into a divorce and who the hell knows what else. The guy needs to go to Switzerland, sit on a mountain off of all human interactions and just vegetate for a week to recharge or he's gonna lose at least one of his companies.

Sorry for the snark, but glad I can help? lol.

Buying fake dislikes is a thing as well. One of the channels I watch ran into the problem debunking garbage Kickstarters.

Which means increases in personal debt. Which means we are right back to 2007, don't it?

Sabaton has a music pack for Europa Universalis. So lots and lots of Swedish Metal \m/

Musk's goal is to make enough money to feed his ego. If he breaks Wall street in the process, builds a viable space launch system, sends people to Mars to accomplish goal #1? I'll give him a small pass.

Less than 2000 votes separated the winner from 2nd place. And we get to do this again with the same two people in November.
