When I’m reincarnated, I want to play tuba or one of those giant ass guitars in a band like that…I bet those dudes can party like nobody else, know where the best food is, and get invited to all the cool Mexican parties. I’d stand there busting out my oompa oompa oompa oompa’s while eyeing chicks and trying to figure out who had the best weed.

Gotta love the rockets flying off in all directions after being hit…no bullshit propaganda of ‘children’s school for the blind were hit by the great Satan’.

Personally I’m a fan of a more calculated FAFO…let everyone know shit’s coming, watch closely to make sure they don’t try to remove all the hardware, listen closely to learn who is calling the shots and where they run to hide, and drop a bunch of JDAMs to make go boom stuff that isn’t easily replaceable. Make it hurt, remind them Global Strike Command exists, but don’t nuke/pave such that they face pressure internally to raise the stakes. Like when I have to yell at someone else’s kids for being an asshole at my house…cut that shit out. Let’s hope it works. We were at war in the Middle East for almost half my life. Let’s not do that, there are other problems to solve.

Oh shit we got little people…little bits

The dog has to be circumcised?

Surly Company, roll call!

“The good old days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems” - Wayne Gretzky The sheer utility of the internet has become astounding…recalling days when they were struggling to make any ad revenue and movie websites just had a phone number to call. Now I can plan entire vacations without having to talk to anyone which is just how I like it. Like anything else, once the money gets huge things get fucky

I mainly use Facebook to check our neighborhood page for news and post kid pics for friends/family to see…every time I do I’m amazed at just how much of it is ads or stupid ‘curated for you’ content like historical photo bullshit.

The B2 could be refueled midair as well. Beyond the basics you noted, no one in the public domain really knows but some key suspected changes: - Better stealth through improved materials, smaller size, and the planform is what the B2 was supposed to be (removal of extra sawtooth/duckbill tail) and thus higher altitude too - Massive systems upgrade…beyond a suite of broadband sensors embedded into the exterior and more compute, entire thing is modular to enable more rapid addition/upgrade of capabilities. Supposed to act like a flying network node along the lines of the F35 + electronic attack + control drone swarms - Expected to be much easier to maintain and deploy, and they better follow through with their build out numbers so it doesn’t become another low density, high demand, priceless asset like the B2 did. - A lot of the breakthrough is likely stuff you can’t see…like details on burying the intake / hiding the exhaust signature, how they integrate the sensors into the skin of the thing, latest composite tech, etc. The general idea is it’s not just a bomber, but a flying C3 node directing a collection of manned and unmanned assets while simultaneously vacuuming up ELINT data, interrupting enemy radar/comms, and attacking targets itself.

Pull it together Manziel, damn

Sorry know r serious thread but that pic reminded me of True Lies

Officially official for RRISD. Gonna go enjoy the fireworks on the Facebook comments now that it’s fully out there.

This. My wife works for someone at District who is in the know, and apparently they were all waffling the past hour…so guess they changed their mind recently to do late start. I’d be surprised if RRISD cancels while all surrounding are just a late start. Who the fuck knows.

Just got unofficial word through someone who would know that RRISD is canceled Tuesday and a 2-hour delay on Wednesday. At least that’s the latest word until they announce. Expect Austin the same. Every fucking year now.

Yeah I’m thinking 80% chance RRISD closed tomorrow at this rate. It’ll have nothing to do with the roads, which are fine, but the cold + wind chill. Seems like an every year thing now. What I find bemusing is the constant chorus of folks (90% women) flooding the district FB pages with calls to cancel school the next day…citing everything from safety, to lack of proper clothing to crossing guards. One is a district TA, as if they didn’t just get 3 straight weeks off + a long weekend If you feel that strongly just keep your damn kids home and take the unexcused absence. The rest of us have to work and don’t want to do it with the kiddos running around all day.

I drove around RR/Cedar Park for the hell of it, few bridges, etc. From my very limited excursion, everything seemed fine…so I expect schools closed until Thursday.
