  1. No, it’s about the 2012 aggie football season.
  2. Or we are truly on the backside of Russian military culmination, and the fuel shortages are hitting, and the vehicle shortages (witness the introduction of donkeys) and manpower are as well. And there's a chance that some Russians were pulled back to deal with Kursk. Putin probably needs Kursk to be clear of Ukrainians if any lines are frozen.
  3. <russian> holy shit comrades, this food just walked 20km straight to us, while carrying our supplies, looks like meat is on the table tonight! <russian> Still can't believe that young me worried about these idiots. Are they even the 2nd best army in Russia? We sure the Norks aren't better?
  4. Interesting. The flu tends to really fuck up the olds. Some of those fuckers were of the "Ivermection is my COVID vaccine" variety, but they'd still get the flu shot. Glad an Ivy League trained lawyer makes vaccine decisions. It'll work out just swell.
  5. I was vaccinated, boosted, whatever, when my first kid was born. My wife was before she even got pregnant. This will probably get taken down by the Bear Cub Killer, but most women wanting to have kids were told to get the MMR vaccine, so that the babies would have a little protection against rubella and measles.

  6. Which means there’s dozens or cases in Rockwell, but I have a solution.
  7. And we pronounced them like “gifts” and not this bullshit like “jiffy” peanut butter.
  8. It’s unfortunate that a kid has died, because that means they are in the finding out phase of things, but hopefully this will be the wake-up call some need. The anti-vaccine morons seem to think this is just the flu with spots, but that whole brain swelling thing can fuck somebody up. While there are plenty of people willing to roll the dice with COVID and their own health, the idea of little kids dying from measles will wake up some of them. Unfortunately it’s too late to shun the Mennonites. That’s a pretty fucking big community out there, and we could easily have a few hundred kids infected - 20% of the kids in that area are not vaccinated.
  9. You’ve probably stumbled across a public sex stall at Bucees and didn’t realize it.
  10. The article won’t say it, but probably made the rounds in the private sex stalls at Buc-ees.
  11. It’s worse than you think, and I might have to watch it Noel's recollection: "The day of the performance, Liam hadn't turned up and there were rumours that he'd been out drinking for a couple of days... and nobody knew where he was." "About an hour before we were due to go on, he turned up absolutely shitfaced. We said, well look, let's see if you can sing a couple of songs, and it was fucking dreadful." So the band - at the very last minute - performed the MTV Unplugged show, with Noel singing his own lyrics. It was an amazing solo performance by Noel, but I wish Liam had arrived reasonably sober to the gig and had participated in a few songs despite claims of a sore throat. Always felt this unplugged show was a moment of anarchy for Oasis. ——- >>> Was there not a story from this that Liam he had a sore throat but he was seen on camera drinking and smoking and heckling Noel from a balcony? Yes, this is correct. Noel makes reference to him a couple of times throughout the broadcast. Late in the show, Liam attempted to come down and sing an encore, but was kept off stage. There's a video about this somewhere on YouTube with clips featuring people from MTV who were working on the preparation and production of the show. —— And Kurt Loder said something to the effect of “Oasis without the lead singer, or Oasis as it always should have been”. That was a fucking magical performance and I’m listening to it right now. And Noel has such a great sense of humor. Before Cast No Shadow, he says “I’d like to carry on with one that I wrote…”. He wrote all of them 🤣🤣🤣 he was basically trolling Liam at that point, probably knowing what an absolutely brilliant performance the band was having. Man… 1996 was a such a great time to be alive. —— The day before the show, MTV taped the full rehearsal. Liam sang all the songs he was supposed to sing. MTV contemplated using that footage mixed in with audience shots from the night Noel sang. In the end, they decided to just use the Noel performance and save money on the editing that would have been needed.
  12. From a purely historical perspective at 35,000 feet looking down, ironically since we are talking about empires, it feels like we risk a diminished role as a superpower (similar to England post-WWII) but the war in Ukraine itself feels like it’s right out of World War I, which saw empires upended (or put them on the path to be upended). I don’t think a lot of people realize how much it resembles WWI at times, but we have a helluva lot of static fronts/trench lines thanks to technical innovations in drones, vs WWI with gas, accurate artillery fire, and machine guns ready to cut down advancing troops. And the wonder weapons here in 2025, drones and extremely accurate artillery, that could clear the way for troops coming out of trenches, is also the weapons that can keep them in trenches. And we are somewhat back to square one with armored suffering heavily at the hands of Javelins and other weapons at the local level. Your typical Russian soldier coming out of their trench or crossing an open field looks something like this
  13. Chris Del Conte ain’t going anywhere, the BMDs are happy with him.
  14. Paramount+ just added a shitload of MTV Unplugged and VH1 Storytellers https://kotaku.com/mtv-unplugged-paramount-plus-streaming-nirvana-oasis-1851766377 A bunch have not been available in 20+ years, and hopefully it’s in high quality.
  15. https://kotaku.com/mtv-unplugged-paramount-plus-streaming-nirvana-oasis-1851766377https://kotaku.com/mtv-unplugged-paramount-plus-streaming-nirvana-oasis-1851766377 Well, here’s some cool news. Paramount has added 50 classic episodes of MTV Unplugged to its streaming service. Some of these episodes haven’t been officially available to watch for over 20 years. And now Paramount+ has added a ton of classic MTV Unplugged episodes, including famous performances by Nirvana and Alice in Chains. As noted in a press release by Paramount, many of these Unplugged episodes “haven’t been available in 20+ years.” Sure, you could find some of the most famous ones on YouTube in various levels of quality, but most were much trickier to find and the versions floating around online looked and sounded terrible. So it’s really nice to have a large chunk of music history accessible again. Well, accessible if you have Paramount+. I have the service because I loveStar Trek and Survivor, and I rewatch Frasier. If you ask nicely I’ll share my account with you. One of the Unplugged episodes added to Paramount+ features the infamous 1996 performance by Oasis. That episode almost didn’t happed because days before the event, Liam Gallagher reportedly complained of a sore throat. And when the band finally showed up an hour before taping, he was apparently very drunk. Noel Gallagher, his brother, ended up singing the entire show on his own. This episode existed in some low-quality forms online already, but now you can watch a pristine version of this famous concert that almost wasn’t. Beyond Unplugged, Paramount+ has also added a ton of VH1 Storytellersepisodes, too. This was a similar show to Unplugged, but even more stripped down and with the artists talking more about their lives or the origins of their songs in between numbers.
  16. I get trying to grow a beard to compensate for a receding hairline, but if you can't grow a proper beard, you're drawing attention to the fact that you just suck at growing hair. If you asked me to play "name that occupation" based on just that photo, I'd have used card salesman first, realtor second.
  17. Austin Regional Clinic is emailing out commonly asked questions about the measles vaccine. Because a bunch of people have probably been bugging them.
  18. You’re talking about the Irish, not the Amish, and actually the Amish are not the same as the Mennonites, who are the problem, so let’s focus on the Mennonites who apparently like Texas State and Twin Peaks.
  19. Carlsbad Caverns affected by federal layoffs | News | abqjournal.com Tourists hoping to see Carlsbad Caverns National Park during its peak season in March may find that more challenging these days, potentially impacting the local economy. The federal government laid off 14 out of 25 seasonal interpreter rangers — who lead tours of the caverns, man the information desk and sell tickets — according to a terminated employee who said Carlsbad Caverns may struggle to continue operation. Additionally, 11 out of 14 seasonal workers were laid off, which may cause a concern during the cavern’s peak season, the person told the Journal. Carlsbad Caverns has already ceased guided tours for 30 days, the person said, but believes it is the beginning of an indefinite pause on tours, among other things. Only self-guided tours are currently available. All Lower Cave, King’s Palace and Slaughter Canyon guided tours have been canceled, according to Recreation.gov, a website where visitors can book tours. “They were talking about having to possibly close a couple of days a week, so closing the gate, so nobody can get in,” the person, a former probationary employee, told the Journal. “Right now, they’re trying to do 30 days, but they don’t know if staffing is going to allow them to bring those back until they’re allowed to hire again.” According to the former employee, Carlsbad Caverns hits a peak season in March. The source added that many people working in the oil and gas industry in the region invite their families down to Carlsbad, driving economic development. “Their families come out and visit and there’s not a lot else to do, so they take them to the park,” the person said. “I know it will definitely affect that.” Carlsbad Caverns National Park brought in nearly $32 million to the local economy and supported 359 jobs, according to a National Park Service report from 2023. In 2023, the caverns brought in 384,121 visitors, and 98.6% of visitors, and therefore visitor spending, were not local. “Such financial contributions significantly enhance the quality of life for Carlsbad residents,” the department added, “making the Caverns a vital economic engine for the community.” ----- Carlsbad Caverns Timed Entry Reservation, Carlsbad Caverns National Park Tours - Recreation.gov The following tours have been cancelled. We regret any inconvenience. Lower Cave Kings Palace Slaughter Canyon Beginning on March 23, 2025, the 8:30 self-guided tours are cancelled. Visitor center hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Last tickets will be sold at 2:15 p.m. ----- Hey kids, we can pay to enter the park, and then we can go and look at the entrance to the caverns, but we can't go in!
  20. A lot of people who bitch about us sending aid, even our retired shit that's sitting around in storage, have conveniently forgotten what was promised in the 90s for them giving up our nukes.
  21. So you want to party with pretty much every Irishman?
  22. And just wait until we find out the Russians reverse-engineered/hacked the Starlink systems they use.
  23. What kind of tattoo is it?
