The most stereotypical looking Texan businessmen possible bought it to turn into a data storage center.

Then he slipped on some ice and died.

Currently is owned by Univar Solutions, a chemical manufacturing and packaging company, which is a less exciting ending.

FYI Texans don’t dress like this, rich idiotic chuds dress like this

ShortBoweledClown,

Interesting because I see a whole lot of shit like this in Texas

Since the last hbomberguy video I’m a bit sceptical about long format youtube essays by random youtubers. Should I watch this? I havent heard about this broccoli guy before, but on tvtropes they write that the third part of this video was removed originally due to a copyright claim: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16506531…

Isn’t this just some wiki articles read out loud, right?

Bobby broccoli is legit.

I have a very small personal stake in one of the scientific fraud videos (I was a grad student with one of the profs that brought the Hendrik Schon thing crashing down) and we talked about it in the Reddit comments of his first video. He definitely knows what he’s talking about.

In fact, if anything, his videos err more toward the side of “insider drama normal people never heard of or care about” than “dry regurgitated facts”.

His channel has good presentation and organizes a lot of disparate information about a topic into a coherent structure. Much more than a “just reads Wikipedia” type channel.

I personally don’t pay much mind to copywrite strikes and uploads, it’s a lightning strike that happens to a lot of good channels for reasons that can be dubious.

flooppoolf,

Oof. I don’t have exact facts and evidence for my claims, but he does a pretty good job at giving his interpretation and summarizing various events while showing the sources he gets his info from.

Is there another tertiary source out there that wrote on this topic, not sure. Is his content 100% accurate, not sure either. But I can sure vouch for his videos being good and very well made. All the graphics in them remind me of studying for big finals, they’re easy to recall and keep you in the long ass explanation.

He has episodes on serial plagiarism in the scientific community, it would be very hypocritical of him to do the same.

I love broccoli bob

Ah, the SSC. I lived about 20 minutes from Waxahachie in the early 90s, cancelling the project messed up the local economy. My family’s house was suddenly worth way less than when we had bought it. We wound up moving away in 94 and had to pay the difference.

I think a lot about what the area would have been like if the SSC had been completed (and how bad the traffic might have been).

I wonder if this principle could be applied to voting districts.

unfortunately it sorta is in that we have just two options.

This seems fantastically sad. Maybe it wasn’t that big of an emotional deal for them, but it triggers something.

Hackerman_uwu,

Often, to gaze upon the bewildered is to gaze into the void.

How do I go about turning this picture into an NFT?

I was literally thinking about this picture today for some reason

"I graduated law school for this," muttered the judge.

Pons_Aelius,

"I'm still charging the full rate for this." Muses the divorce lawyer.

My last girlfriend took all my band stickers that I had spent decades collecting.

They’re of no monetary value, but they can’t be replaced.

People get petty in breakups.

Wrench,

My best friend broke up with his fiancee a month before the wedding.

She moved out while he was at work. She took all the toilet paper, and left him 2 squares.

echodot, (edited ) in Secret service agents moments after the 1981 assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan.

If it was a TV show set in the 1980s and it depicted a scene that look like that you’d say it was unrealistic. That is the most 80s photo I’ve ever seen everything about it is so stereotypical of action movies of the time.

I just love the fact that the US secret service used Uzi’s, a weapon that has always been about form over function I know it works, but there are much better options.

Given that overall length was a major factor, there was a short list of comparable arms that are 18.5 inches or less to choose from.

My favorite part of this picture is the expressions on everyone else’s faces. It’s a nice mixture of “'I’m never getting these hours of my life back” and "hmmm, interesting choice, i wonder how they’ll counter that decision.
