  1. Art was just on the news saying they’re investigating and will overturn every stone. “They owe that to the officers, the deceased suspects families, and the community” In that order. Protect and MF’n serve! I want to know if citizens’ with Beretta 686 with a trap stock need to get an auto with a mag extension. Not sure if I want to know if the Beretta was an O/U or not or if that would make me laugh or cry.
  2. What the hell is a Beretta ALS? Adjustable length stock? Google doesn’t show a model. A400, A300, A391, 686. These are numbers that should follow Beretta.
  3. Eh, we see the world practically if nothing else. And damnit y’all are making me agree with Icono. A decade is a goal, but passing a non-binding resolution ain’t going to do it. Sending a man to the moon is an engineering project. One goal. One agency, government funded. Tons of support. Here’s the GANTT. Here are the problems. Here’s a RACI. Here’s the crazy big budget and project controllers. Talk to the department heads every week starting next week. Go. Go. Reducing or replacing the world’s dependency on fossils fuels (the most cost efficient energy source man-kind has ever known until unlocking the power of the atom a generation ago, I might add) isn’t even a massive international geopolitical infrastructure project funded by no one and led by no one. It’s bigger and more complex than that.
  4. Disclaimer 1 - I agree no-knocks are bullshit. Do real actual police like McNulty and Lester. Devil’s advocate, contrarian below. Disclaimer 2 - I’ve never flushed narcotics down the toilet. Obviously, the quantity of narcotics one is trying to quickly dispose of is going to dictate the multi-flush. That being said how many American homes have tankless toilets? And how many of those homes are the residence or “office” of a drug distributer/seller, less than 1%? The low-efficiency high-volume day-after-thanksgiving-turd-gobblers at the Estacado house could flush a couple pounds of organic matter, floating or sinking, with the volume in the tank.
  5. Grass is there now. Swimming same lane same place everyday is a drag. Let’s extend the facility that’s hosted nationals numerous times to include an outdoor pool at least on par with what’s at Gregory. Eddie wants an outdoor pool build the man an outdoor pool. Consecutive conference titles since before I was born, won’t someone build the man his pool! Ps Can we name something the Reese-Robertson, already?
  6. Randy was an RTF major. Had a garden radio show in Houston forever. I don’t think ever got any sort of ag or bio degree. He does know SE TX and the gulf coast though. His calendar gets thrown around a lot because in theory you apply 1 thing once a month, Feb to Nov. I weep for your St Augustine on the Texas gulf coast if you don’t stay ahead of fungus. Gray spot, brown path, Take-all, if you’re treating it after it’s symptomatic you’ll be treating it all year long. Thrives during humid nights and mornings from 60-80 degrees? Cool, we only have those 11.5 months a year. “An ounce of prevention...”
  7. Sorry that post came across a little stronger than I wanted. Dr Norton knows more about nutrition than I ever will or ever care to know, no doubt. I’m not going to pay to subscribe to his plan to get the latest and greatest. This was his conclusion from a paper he wrote in 2014 I recalled it from when I was trying to cut weight in ‘15-16. I found it interesting particularly the last sentence, when the guy selling refeeds says I need to study the efficacy of refeeds I took notice and it left on impression on me. “To accomplish these goals, it is recommended to approach weight loss in a stepwise, incremental fashion, utilizing small energy deficits to ensure a slow rate of weight loss. Participation in a structured resistance training program and adequate protein intake are also imperative. More research is needed to verify the efficacy of periodic refeeding and reverse dieting in supporting prolonged weight reduction and attenuating post-diet fat accretion.” The top athletes and body builders in the world trying to go from 5.1% to 5.0% bf may be affected by mitochondrial efficiency and exacting hormone balances when trying to maintain ounces of muscle and LBM and lose ounces of BF and H20. The idea that Joe Blow trying to lose 20lbs of belly fat stalled at 15% bf 10lbs above his goal due to metabolic damage is and always will be BS. Joe Blow has miscalculated his caloric intake or his TDEE. The biggest component of TDEE is BMR. Re-baseline every few weeks. You’re digesting less, pumping blood and oxygen to a smaller area, moving less mass when your performing the same cardio circuit you did 3 months ago to start your diet, etc.
  8. Can you just leave Black Swan playing in a loop on every tv in the place?
  9. Big money donors pay the bagmen. That’s day 1 stuff. And you owe me $9.95.
  10. Pro tip: The Crown Carmel comes in a burnt orange crown bag. I use one of those for trinkets and have a regular crown bag stuffed with other liquor bags in a drawer by the liquor cabinet. In your face Marie Kondo.
  11. You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it. (No CB or optional rally fun pack)
  12. Llano Estacado married white male bachelor degree looking for a career in surfing the internet with 1% income and executive council stock & benefit package ...in a dynamic team environment... emerging... synergy yada yada. I’ll be checking my PMs for the offers to roll in.
  13. Just meant it was likely super bowl shenanigans and his alcohol consumption was likely for hours upon hours so he probably lost count (if he was counting), and had no concerns for his BAC. .2 @ 0400 Monday is a long way from, “just had a beer with dinner, officer” @ 8pm on a weekday.
  14. “Starvation mode” and “Metabolic damage” are myths cooked up by Cosmo and Men’s Fitness to sell diet plans. BMR is based on mass and body composition. If you reduce your Leanbodymass by 25% by being in a calorie deficit for months or years, your body isn’t in “starvation mode” you’ve lowered your BMR by reducing your over all mass. Look up the Michigan starvation experiment. Our bodies don’t all of a sudden get more or less efficient based on inputs. When comparing a 94 Caprice with the 305 to a 69 with the 454 does anyone say the 94 is in “starvation mode”? The caprice has undergone some sort of fuel efficiency damage and the engine needs to be reset?
  15. Lulz. You couldn’t handle the Rollamech 1000.
  16. Where’s the presidential tweeting device? ...Or is it assumed he’s watching Hannity on the opposing wall?
  17. My guess was going to be “as many as it took +/- 5 between 7:30 PM EST to 03:30 CST.” 4 am arrest when the east coast Super Bowl wrapped up earlier than most expected isn’t a normal party guy mistake.
  18. This resume is very impressive. Let me be the first to say "abibu gazini".
  19. BSME. Sailor multifunction pen in red, blue, black and .05 HB #2 gets carried during almost all working hours (pencil function has a little too much give for my liking) Zebra M-301 in .05 and .07 at the desk. (Also like the zebra ball point) Pentel Sharps in backpack and around the house in old school matte blue and #2 yellow, do they offer a black? Pilot ultra fine felt tip and highlighters in red, green, blue, and black at the ready on the desk next to architecture and engineers scales.
  20. Couldn’t find any before leveling stock tire pics, and don’t feel like digging through old flash drives. Think this is 2” spacer, ranchhand, running 285/65 KO2s, but can’t enhance enough on my phone to be sure.
  21. I ran them with no rubbing on mine with 2” spacer upfront. Liked the way the look. Be forewarned Discount doesn’t like to install “oversized” tires on the stock rims anymore. 10s of thousand of miles ago I requested 285/65 after push back the manager cooperated. This last time thousands of miles ago manager was trying to sell them to me there, but send me offsite to his buddies for install. No thanks. Throw the 275s on.
  22. It’s a da Vinci of some dudes all sitting on one side of a table.
  23. Reinheitsgebot! Meeler lite was my favorite “adjunct” lager for a long time until I learned, that tons of the beers I’d come to love are “adjunct” and I should quit using that word. I don’t think those ads moved the needle for MillerCoors, AB, or even Mich Ultra drinkers. In 2019 does anyone run out because “rice” is healthier than “corn syrup”, I’d have to think the market share for beer drinkers at all moved by those ads is a crazy small market. RIP - Aspen Edge, you were ahead of your time and missed the keto craze
