  1. Way past time for a full Western embargo. Nothing should be going in, or out of Russia. Want to trade with the West? Don't trade ANYTHING with Russia, otherwise, get fucked.
  2. Elon has already interfered in the last Turkish election to help budding dictator Erdogan get "re-elected", censoring and blocking opposition tweets before the elections. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/05/twitter-musk-censors-turkey-election-erdogan https://fortune.com/2023/05/15/elon-musk-twitter-turkey-elections-erdogan-free-speech-censorship-wikipedia-founder/ Elon blocked a BBC documentary critical of Narendra Modi, another budding autocrat in India. https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/25/23571103/elon-musk-twitter-india-social-media-bbc-documentary-modi-censorship Elon has also blocked hundreds of opposition accounts in India. https://theintercept.com/2023/03/28/twitter-modi-india-punjab-amritpal-singh/ Elon has made abundantly clear that he intends to wield Twitter as a weapon, spraying disinformation and lies, while interfering in elections on behalf of wanna be dictators. No one should trust an "election integrity" team at Twitter, when over and over, we've seen Elon himself has zero integrity.
  3. Also think about that the next time you accidentally drink the water and Tijuana rages through you.
  4. The Mississippi isn't going to stay in it's channel long term and there we are limited in our ability to stop/slow it. Rivers move back and forth across their floodplains. These curves are all abandoned meanders of the Mississippi. Anyone who thinks we can contain this kind of power forever is completely delusional. Further, many of the Army Corps of Engineers previous attempts to increase navigability and control the channel of the Mississippi River have been extremely counter productive. One of the big reasons the delta is eroding is that the Corps made the river too deep and the flow is now too fast, so now a huge percent of the sediment that would deposit and rebuild deltas and wet lands shoots off the continental shelf into the deeper water instead. I had a hydrogeology professor that was apoplectic about it, because the Corps wouldn't listen to him, or any other outside experts and the flow ended up doing exactly what they predicted. I had a hydrogeology professor that was apoplectic, because the Corps ignored all of their warnings and created an even bigger mess. It's not just life that finds a way, Nature eventually does too.
  5. Chinese Elon Musk is a diabolical weapon made to defeat Western Social Media. Every time he says something racist, he's just going to want to do it again in 30 minutes. On second thought, that's no different from actual Elon.
  6. That's amazing. Two Bushes invaded the Middle East. Two Bushes served in the military (sort of for GW). Neither one of those Bushes is named Jeb. Both of them being named George makes it even easier. You don't even have to specify which one, just George is fine. But no, Trump goes with Jeb. Please clap.
  7. How did I miss DeSantis pulling a Pence and referring to his wife as his mommy 5 months ago? Was it posted on here? What a fucking DeSaster this dude is and what a lost opportunity. He had a chance to pick up some of the Pornhub vote if he'd said "My step mommy".
  8. If ST is going to have a horrid game, glad they did it today. 2 muffs and a missed field goal and we're still winning going away. Banks can coach, he'll get it cleaned up.
  9. Love having a defense again.
  10. They're wearing Genera Hypercolor cleats today.
  11. Which is weird. It's usually aggy that cradles the balls.

    The Supremes

    Every time anyone digs even slightly into Clarence Thomas, that surface scratch turns up blatant corruption. Would sure be nice if the Senate would hold hearings into this scandal, because digging in depth is almost certain to reveal shocking corruption for multiple Republican "justices". They won't consistently have covered their tracks well, because they don't expect to be caught. Even if caught, they know their fellow Republicans will never hold them accountable. This is one of the biggest scandals in US history. We all know there is no amount of corruption that would get the GQP to go along with an impeachment and that they'll scream bloody murder about even investigating, but the public needs to see the Dems fighting for us, while fighting back is still allowed.
  13. Baylor should have lost their basketball team over the murder coverup scandal. They should have lost their football team for covering up institutional rape. A baseball player beat a friendly stray cat to death with a bat at Taco Cabana. RIP Queso. That's just what's public. Fuck Baylor. They should not be allowed to have an athletics program.
  14. I assume this is in regards to me saying Arkansas and aggy do nothing for me, or for UT, since the past few pages have mostly been drag worm vs. drag rat chat. First, I'm quite familiar with our history and have been going to games since both Arkansas and aggy were conference opponents in the SWC. I'm not sure why you would assume any differently on a message board filled with mostly middle aged male Texas fans. That said, I absolutely stand by the post. They do nothing for us anymore. OU is our rival and we are OU's rival. We are also aggy's rival and Arkansas' rival. They are our second and third rivals, respectively, with both rivalries long dead. They don't make much of a shit to me, or our program anymore. OU and UT have national aspirations. Arkansas is limited to regional aspirations, at best. More likely, NIL kills their program. aggy will forever have national aspirations in their head, but never achieve them. I can understand why you might feel differently and feel affinity for playing them, but I think a lot of us view Arkansas and aggy as problematic exes that we rather enjoyed not having to spend time around anymore.
  15. Some of these suggestions are absurd...we need to stack up a bunch of empty milk crates, instead of a crossbar. If you knock over the crates, the field goal is good. You get 4 points if you break all the milk bottles.
  16. This feels weirdly personal. On a serious note, the best set up for Texas would have been a protected OU game and rotate the others. Playing Arkansas and aggy yearly does nothing for me and does nothing for UT. Everyone would be much better off if we launched the Arkansas and aggy fanbases into the sun.
  17. I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. I'm fairly positive you've been to West Texas and seen all the dead armadillos. That's what the rest of the SEC is going to look like after we show up. Flat, bloody and riddled with leprosy.
  18. Once again, the Simpsons predict the future. Hopefully it leads to the same result.
  19. The Ukrainians have been really impressive in their ingenuity and they are only going to get better. If the Russians are freaked out about drones made of plastic pipes and plywood, just wait until they get hit by Ukrainian popsicle stick Himars.
  20. Also appears to have reserved and set aside animaltobacco2 on August 15th. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/profile/8141-animaltobacco2/ What a fucking loser.
  21. The Navy has been working on drone swarms since at least 2011. I've shared a few times on the board that I had a colleague working on this on a Navy grant that started around then. I obviously don't know a lot of details and my information is old and non-classified, but I'm not comfortable fully disclosing the research question, because it has very obvious National Security implications. Eventually, we'll get evidence China or Russia have answered a similar question and I'll share it when there is no risk it could help them. I will say it was FAR more advanced than just launching and defending against swarms like we are seeing in Ukraine and that the complexity of the question they were asking strongly implies to me that they had already been preparing for that basic stuff for a while. I can't speak for the rest of the Armed Forces, but anyone that tries to fuck around with the US Navy is going to find out. The Navy is not going to be remotely surprised by a simple drone swarm.
  22. Proud to be the first murderer of handles checking in. Add a new user name to the minimum of 5 we've already banned. Donkey Cigar, Monkey Cigarette, Turkey Chew, Longhorn snus, animal tobacco, now anime tobacco. I'm there are more and I missed some. Fucking ridiculous this asshole troll won't take a hint. How many bannings should it take before he is auto banned on site like GRUHorn? It's not my site, but I would argue we are way past it. This dickbag is one of the biggest sources of dissension and actual conversation derailing on the the entire site and the whole place is much worse for his posting.
  23. The inside of that German Vulcano is way bigger than you'd think. Looks like the rumors of the US recovering UFOs were true and NATO now has Tardis technology.
  24. Hey, don't sell him short. Donkey Cigar, Monkey Cigarette, Turkey Chew, Longhorn snus, animal tobacco has a long history of not really putting together much/any analysis of things he posts in any thread.
  25. +100 Internet Points. The judges also would have accepted a submission with the goat subbed out for DON DON DON.
