Someone sent me a link to a movie on YouTube called "Best in Hell". (No CR here but still fuck the Russians...) But politics aside, in terms of an intense battle flick and you want to see 2 solid hours of urban combat - room-to-room, grenades, point blank machine duals, artillery and mortar fire/counter fire and drones, this was pretty damn intense... The movie is like a Wagner "our best battle ever" History channel propaganda film but the battle and scenes are pretty much 50-50 between the Wagner Russians (white) and Ukrainian s (yellow) any you don't really see a political bias- just that war sucks... Think 2 hours of the best combat scenes in Blackhawk Down, Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers but set in the current conflict... (Oh, its in Russian and Ukrainian but has English subtitles..)

Wok glowing red last night for stir fry - sichuan salt and pepper shrimp.

https://omnivorescookbook.com/mala-chicken/ Found a Sichuan place in the Woodlands that makes the chicken similar to Mala Sichuan but the link above is what I used to use when I made it myself...

So he got paid about $8m since he was hired April 2021?

I picked up a similar burner in Asia from a shop that built street food cart stands. It gets up to 100k BTU and makes my wok glow red. Same wok on an gas cook top sucks...Wok burner

Its Entergy,not ERCOT so fuck Louisiana... I'm just south of that area and have been getting power "hickups" all morning but not enough to trip on the generator...

Attack Force Z...

Binged The English last night and really liked it. My only hang up was the accent of Chaske but that probably a bias of all old westerns where Indians spoke broken English and not with a Ok accent.

I'm starting E4 tonight and am enjoying it but I also loved Rat Patrol as a kid and this brings back memories... Agreed, the music is great in this...

How the hell do you use Avios miles for domestic flights? I've got a few 100K on BA and need to plan a trip to DC from Houston in a few weeks and wanted to use miles. I tried to search for flights from the BA site using Avios miles and no flights are available with either miles or by paying cash... Tried to then book on AA but the miles it shows aren't Avios miles but rather AA miles... Went to the Avios site and it kicks you back to the partner airlines... Getting frustrated...

Reminds me of my freshman year at DKR…Bar-noculars

Game experience there- I haven’t been since going to a UT game there in the 80’s. Damn that campus us huge especially compared to the 40 acres - I thought we had parking close to the stadium but had to hoof it almost a mile. The little brother complex is strong - besides the whole stadium singing the “saw off the horns” song - I sat during it- every screenshot of fans on the screens had people doing the “horns down”. I don’t really care but these fuckers were playing Florida- not UT…. Tailgate right next to the stadium was nice but not as nice as the loss by them and then getting home in time to watch the Horns and Astros win. And damn, that upper deck is way the fuck up in the clouds and is steep as hell- never have had vertigo or a fear of heights before but maybe I was thinking about aggy engineering and how fast I was going to die when the structure collapsed… Hearing the comments about Jimbo from the diehard, hunch over and grab your nuts on third down crowd was better than most of the posts here…. Salty tears seen live…

Whatever the term - enlisted/commissioned - he's been "signed up" to the Army for the past 2 years and reports for his 6 year commitment this summer. He's a commander/leader(?) of one of the troops/corps(?) and is leading the "march" for this game hence the cult requirement we need to go see him... (I have no clue on this shit other than the kid is a good kid and I'm happy he has found something he wants to do...)

Proud of my nephew as he's actually enlisted and isn't fake army like most of his peers... (and his brothers are Horn grads). And I'll be home in time for the Horns and Astro's games as well as the kids needing hours driving to get their licenses. Plus is aggy BIL having a tailgate so I get to drink/eat on his dime and not worrying about driving home...

Wife's father and sisters all aggs but she was the smart one and went elsewhere...

I get they joy of attending the aggy game tomorrow... (Nephew in the corps and it's the one chance to see him "march in" before he graduates...) Told wife I was gonna wear burnt orange but was told by my aggy BIL it might not be wise...

Totally agree and the pool of actual oil finders is rapidly shrinking as exploration budgets are cut or disappear all together and a lot of talent is retiring and not being replaced. Not seeing those who have been doing unconventionals their whole career really having the skillsets or experience to fill these roles either... And for recent grads, there just aren't as many slots available...

I'm a second generation O&G geologist and when one of my STEM-strong kids asked if if he should also be a geologist, I strongly discouraged him and said if you want to be in O&G, go the production engineering route instead. Much more stable career as we are always - at least for next 30+ years - going to need someone to manage existing wells and production but keeping a job putting the "X" on the map will always depend on the commodity price...

Also having an interest in the well is better...

Only episode in quite a while...

Those were actually fun days - we had a company sponsored "brew club" and used the campus kitchen to brew beer every month... Of course, the 53% income tax (expat discount!) rate sucked but a great place to raise kids...

I was a division "head" at DONG Energy 10 years ago before they sold their E&P assets... My friends love calling me the "Dick Head" or the "Head Dick"... Much better place to work than Maersk in DK but they f-ed up when they went all "green" with windmills... It actually stood for Danish Oil and Natural Gas but I'm convinced it was some guys wearing capri pants that were drinking wine on a sailboat that said "Let's call it DONG and see what people say..."

Same here but if I go to a tab that was already on a Surly page, I can refresh to see new posts or to go to other newer pages.

Found it, thanks! I missed a bunch of bits in BCS since I never got past 3rd season of BB...

Never watched the end of BB - so what happened to Mike or did I miss his departure in BCS?
