  1. It's kind of always been like this. My dad graduated UT in 1965 when you pretty much flashed your high school diploma and wrote a check for something like $3 per credit hour (I'm exaggerating but not by much). Right out of college he bought a house in Hyde Park near 45th and Avenue D for what was the equivalent of around 1.5x his salary right out of school. A new grad would need to make 500k or so to do the same now.
  2. I assume they're in all shapes and sizes but I imagine ones can be built that are basically a missile loaded with explosives guided by a remote operator. Or just do whatever the hell the retired marine did in your example.
  3. Thanks, that helps. Still if I'm war gaming against the US, I'd simultaneously throw a few hundred kamikaze drones and/or missiles against a carrier. All it takes is a few to slip through. It would only cost millions to sink a carrier worth 10 billion, and you'd lose no men in the attack.
  4. Sure, but how does that fleet stop a swarm of drones or modern guided missiles?
  5. I know nothing about military strategy, but I have to wonder if aircraft carriers are now basically floating tanks. Between drones and javelin like missiles seems they would be sitting ducks. It would definitely be the first thing I'd take out if my enemy had one. I know the US used those since ww2 to project power to far away places, but what is the backup plan for that now?
  6. I read somewhere that wherever there are wolves there typically aren't coyotes because wolves take them out pretty quickly. It appears I don't know shit.
  7. Jerry's love child worked in the Trump White House? No CR, but psychologists would have a field day with that.
  8. Lada sweet child of mine
  9. Mostly dead? That's a corpse. Disturbing AF.
  10. China and anyone will never be anything beyond a relationship of convenience for China.

    Getting old sucks

    I went to catholic school in the first grade. I think the fact it was only one year is due to the nuns losing their shit when I set a bunch of those off during recess by smashing them with rocks. My reaction was a legitimate George Costanza "was that wrong?"

    Getting hold of THC gummies ain't hard even in Texas. Seriously, if you asked one of your grandkids I bet they have a hookup.

    You need some THC sleeping gummies. This. I've started taking THC gummies at night and it really helps. Problem is I often wake up a little foggy. Trying to wean myself off but damn I need my sleep. Anyone heard of something called bpc-157? It's a peptide you inject that's supposed to help tendon, ligament and other tissue healing. I had shoulder surgery on my rotator cuff and the pain was so bad after 10 weeks I tried it. 2 weeks later feeling great. It might by psychosomatic or it might be that weeks 10-12 is when the healing process really kicks in, but I'm happy with results.
  14. I'm an old but is delete this dialogue after reading slang for paste this conversation on twitter?
  15. Hank Hill has a narrow Eritrea.
  16. Actual story is only 15.
  17. To blatantly steal from Dr Strangelove, what's the point of having the dead hand if you don't advertise its existence?
  18. Meanwhile Major has already killed a dozen tanks with nothing but pure moxie and a few javelins.
  19. I'm willing to live with the removal of all the Russian content from pornhub. We're all gonna have to make sacrifices- kind of a victory garden for 2022.
  20. I could live with that as long as we retain the mineral rights on high school football talent.
  21. No elected bald president...
  22. Fuck you. As a claustrophobe the title should have been some warning, but still...
  23. I've told my kids that no matter how I die, the memorial biography should end with "in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the autoerotic asphyxiation safety society". Just to get people wondering what the hell happened.
  24. I thought maybe he was calling him a tenant. Cops hate that.
