  1. Wish shit like this got more publicity. Too many people fail to remember that the US does the whole military industrial complex thing pretty well. A huge amount of spending in Ukraine comes out of our advertising budget. See how good our old shit works? Imagine what the new stuff can do!
  2. Am I mistaken, or was that first round through Austin kinda unexpected? When I looked this morning, I thought I only saw storms expected this evening
  3. If there’s a silver lining to be had, it seems like the humidity has been greatly reduced. Feels pretty damn nice outside right now
  4. Gotdamnit! Pool guy left just before that system came through. Looks like an entire crepe myrtle in my pool, but not a drop of fucking rain. And my kids left the damn water slide on last night (runs from a garden hose) so now the water is above the skimmer level
  5. Yeah, maybe not "external" lawyers, but she does have clerks, two of which were presumably replaced recently with folks that may see that particular clerkship as beneficial to their future endeavors in Trump World...which means they're likely pretty Trumpy themselves.
  6. He’s the worst
  7. Sadly, it isn’t the original plaque. Font is different
  8. He should’ve been awarded home due to the catcher’s bullshit as he rounded third
  9. I think the word was “faggotry” not fuckery
  10. It isn’t. It IS assumed that any species capable of traveling here is more advanced than us though
  11. Username indicates you’re probably immune by now
  12. Was Texassports.com being all borked yesterday caused by the same issue? It was a really weird feeling when two of my most accessed sites were down. And I’m currently in the middle of The Last Stand book series which is about an EMP blast, so my mind went to some weird places for a bit.
  13. How absurd would it sound if we said we’d nuke China, NK, or Iran if Russia used their weapons against Ukraine? We would never say that because we’d never follow through. So stupid that we haven’t let Ukraine unleash hell on military targets at this point regardless of location
  14. In the comments somebody found the original author of that post
  15. Dick move. But maybe be less poor and go play at a better course that doesn’t have tee boxes 10 feet from a public road
  16. Overall, seems it would be better for them to use our stuff in Russian territory. Not that I actually give a shit about their civilian casualties, but it matters in theory. Our shit is more accurate and would be much more likely to hit the military targets they’re aiming at
  17. Maybe there are STDs in heaven. You ever consider that, smart guy?
  18. What? They won’t provide HO insurance of any type just because there are solar panels? I understand excluding them from a policy, maybe even excluding coverage for any damage to the property resulting from the panels (thinking roof damage or leaks around the mounting points). But no coverage at all seems crazy unless they’re just looking for excuses to not cover a specific property for another, more legitimate reason
  19. What happened to the others? You can put two of the same models in parallel with minor expense
  20. Was there some recent change in law requiring some variation of “new driver” stickers on cars? “Student Driver” has always been a thing for driver’s ed, but I don’t recall seeing the “new driver” ones until pretty recently, and they’re all of a sudden freakin everywhere.
  21. I would absolutely prefer sleeping in 50. But during the day, 50 inside would be fucking miserable. At 80, I’d have to go sleep outside with a fan. That’s perfectly fine camping weather
  22. Uh, helium makes things go up. Duh
  23. Similar thing happened to me and a buddy kayak fishing on the Colorado east of San Saba. Pretty much in front of one of our poster’s properties (sorry, can’t remember who has that spot). Shots came from the other side of the river, so it probably wasn’t him. One of the weirdest experiences of my life. We knew they weren’t trying to actually hit us, but that shook me for a while. Guy I was with was a recently retired Tier 1 operator, and it took everything I had to convince him NOT to go up there and try to whip their asses. Luckily he knows I’m a pussy that maintains a healthy concern for my own mortality. Also, he’s scared of my wife
  24. Uh huh. Sure. Mossad was known to be working in the area, so they put a couple of their highest ranking leaders on a fucking helo without any escorts? It’s crazy how little they even bother trying to craft a believable story. At best, if that was the truth, they are completely incompetent. At worst, that’s essentially admitting that someone in your own government arranged for them to be taken out.
