He is also serving a California sentence concurrently with his New York sentence.  So he will remain in a New York prison regardless pending his New York retrial.

AZ, Is the spoke nipple OEM weird or what? Can't you just get a replacement from Buchanans or some other wheel builder?

Aprilia's wheels on the Tuareg are tubeless spoked, with the nipples in the hub and the head of the spoke in the side of the rim.  I'm sure other builders use similar or the same components, but I didn't know where to source one other than the dealer and my immediate google-fu was insufficient to the task.

I happened to luck out and the dealership only took a week to get the parts. 

It may only be commuting to work, but the day is SO MUCH BETTER when I start it on 2 wheels instead of 4.  I loathe traffic so much, and the motorcycle makes it so much less painful.  Add the raw glory of an Arizona morning in April or May, and it's honestly just a great way to wake up.  I missed it quite a bit, and today felt wonderful.   =D

I already thought Brandon was funny from YouTube (I'm a suscriber), but after watching Tony, or more likely his media team, stumble around Twitter the last couple weeks outright lying and calling names, I really hope Gonzales get's his ass handed to him in the run off.

Brandon Herrera didn't win, but he forced Gonzales into a runoff.  Herrera would need to pick up almost all of the votes that went to Clark, Lopez, and Avila to have topped Gonzales.  Doesn't look great, but who knows.

Gonzales calls Herrera a "known neo-nazi" and throws monkey turds at Rs in general.
The article calls Gonzales a "centralist"

U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, ripped into his party’s right flank for voting against billions in foreign aid for U.S. allies last week, castigating his ultraconservative peers as “scumbags” and klansmen.

“These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime,” Gonzales told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview Sunday. “It didn't surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel.”

“It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags like [Florida Congressman] Matt Gaetz. He paid minors to have sex with them at drunk parties,” Gonzales said, before calling out Rep. Bob Good for earlier this month endorsing Herrera, whom he called a “known neo-Nazi.”

Update on this...

Students at the local school have maintained a memorial at the intersection where the two girls were killed. Recently they were also maintaining an announcement board with trial information on it.

Yesterday, the driver of the car was convicted of two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Of note, the same is also true for sugar pills.

AFAIK, sugar pills don't work on dogs because they have no expectation that they'll do anything except taste sweet.

For humans, if you think a treatment works but it's all you're imagination, indirectly it's still working, right?

K Frame's knee feeling better might just be because he's gullible and/or stupid, but he still feels better so it's a win.  Seren walking and standing better is a lot harder to dismiss even if the science seems dubious.  It could be his imagination again but that's less likely than with his own knee.

The Roundtable / Re: "Fallout" on Amazon Prime
« Last post by Ben on Today at 10:37:38 AM »
I just finished it yesterday. I am in the "never played Fallout" crowd so came into it tabula rasa.

I will say that I almost turned it off after episode 1 because of the tranny. I have so absolutely had it with the gender stuff being injected in everything, that I am just scorched Earth whenever I see it in something I might otherwise enjoy. I did, however, trudge past it and watched the rest. It took a few episodes for me to get invested, but I ended up liking it by the end.

I thought the "alternate Earth" 1950s stuff was kinda neat. Also, while I'm normally not a fan of "the bad guy is really the good guy and the good guy is really the bad guy and there's a bunch of grey between good and bad", I thought they did that pretty well with those characters.

It seems they set it up for a season 2, so I will certainly watch that when it drops. Okie dokie then.

I finished the available episodes.

I liked it.  At first the characters didn't feel right for Fallout, but the atmosphere was well done and I think the storyline ended up fitting.  Ish.

Definitely suspect we'll see start seeing tweets parroting the "[Communism is] just a dirty word they use to describe people who aren't insane" line, though.
