  1. Past hour
  2. Yes, but we gave them enough aid to survive, and they've had to build a homegrown defense industry that includes the means to hit Russia deep, hard, and where it counts, and that nobody can tell them how to use, and Europe is finally starting to step out of our shadow. It's unfortunate that in our lifetimes, we are watching the US give up our world leadership role, the "arsenal of democracy", but the kids are...errrr..Ukraine is going to be all right in the long run. We gave them the bare minimum, and they pulled themselves together and are hurting Russia far more here in 2025 than we could have imagined at the end of 2022. They may have just lost Pokrovsk, but Putin was going to do anything possible to get a victory ahead of all of these bullshit peace talks to anchor his claims over Ukrainian land and to try and lay the groundwork for something before the 4th anniversary comes up, but guess what? He killed or wounded almost 15% of the entire Russian Army just to take this town of 60,000 people. Imagine if we killed or wounded 15% of the United States Army to take a city the size of Pflugerville. And Finland and Sweden joined NATO.
  3. Harvey and I went on a long early morning, Thanksgiving walk.
  4. It differs, in that the Covid vaccine was an Experimental vaccine, that had only been given Emergency Authorization to be given. Such a vaccine should be totally voluntary, and forced on anyone.
  5. My sister and her family live in London and have for 17 years (they're dual citizens now) - she told me this morning turkeys were running £80-£100 this year. She said to hell with it, chicken it shall be.
  6. I avoid Stout because it gets nuts. I have gone to Horns Hook Tavern (UES) and enjoyed it. Blondies on UWS is NOT an official TexasExes game watch bar, but it is a sports bar and a good place to catch the game. I assume there is still a crew that watches at Hill Country as well.
  7. Did that aggy guy ask to have his thread deleted?
  8. Today
  9. I just bought AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation from Amazon for 99.99. Good enough for me. Cheapest they've ever been. And being delivered between 4 and 8 am.
  10. What a clown comment. Perhaps there was nothing for your parents to come see you do, but parents should be there for their kids on Senior Day.
  11. If something like this went to court, would it be possible to volunteer to sit and listen?
  12. Saw where the girl passed away earlier. The guy charged him with a damn pocket knife. That’s wild.
  13. Anti-purge season is here. Time to love your amigo. Time to love your neighbor.
  14. Same. Order placed but used the Surly code instead of the poll discount.
  15. How was that an illegal order and how does it differ from the dozen or so vaccines currently required under the Trump administration?
  16. Sort of disagree. I think this is the expected pace of this show, which will gradually set the stage for this bizarro dystopian world, and the viewer gets to contemplate the problem through Carol’s eyes. The story advances by revealing small bits of information about the conflict, rather than major action sequences. Last episode, we learned that they cannot lie and their condition is likely reversible. This episode, we learned that they are willing to withdraw for either emotional reasons or their own safety, and that they most likely consume the dead. I think that’s the expectation for the average episode.
  17. Wordle 1,623 4/6* ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🙂 Daily Quordle 1404 3️⃣6️⃣ 8️⃣5️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/
  18. Tech barely lost to a very good ASU team and Tech was w/o their starting QB. They are at full strength now and have a nasty defense. They will be trouble in the CFP.
  19. Hopefully it was with Les Miles wife.
  20. Always amazed at how the the ruby red suburbs of Houston are full of swingers and wife swappers
  21. The only things people should use YouTube for are cat videos, cooking videos, and learning how to set the timing on a 392.
  22. I mean ... it really is just that simple.
  23. So what has really changed? Case in point. So NOW he is going to take land if he does not get what he wants? Putin says US plan could be ‘basis’ of a Ukraine deal but threatens to take land by force if Kyiv doesn’t withdraw Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a US plan to end the war in Ukraine could “form the basis for future agreements” but renewed threats to seize more territory by force unless Kyiv withdraws. Speaking to reporters in Bishtek, in the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan on Thursday, Putin confirmed the Kremlin was expecting a US delegation headed by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to visit Moscow early next week, adding that the Kremlin was ready for “serious discussion”. But chances of a swift breakthrough appear slim after Putin repeated his maximalist demands, saying the war in Ukraine will only end “once Ukrainian troops withdraw from the territories they occupy.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/27/europe/putin-trump-ukraine-peace-intl
  24. Not sure where you get your info, funds under management are pure speculation. Let's say it is 200B+. You ever heard of the Parable of the Talents? We are good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. Deal with it. The current president of the church was formerly the president of BYU and supports BYU, but BYU athletics are self-funded and supported by generous donors. No church funds are used for athletics. We run our athletics in the black, unlike many in the Big 10 and elsewhere. We have a number of billionaires (mostly quiet about it) and lots of multiple-hundreds-of-millions millionaires that generously give and support. You sound annoyed that BYU is ranked higher in both football and basketball than UT.
