  1. Lol. The massive cooler under the table isn't visible. The "beer pumpkin" was just to get everyone's attention. Definitely a conversation starter and a good way to meet new neighbors.
  2. Check the first page....
  3. Can't get enough of "We have ways of making you talk" WWII podcast. Two British guys. One is a historian and the other a comedian that happens to know his stuff. They turn out a ton of content, do long series formats and keep each episode close to an hour.
  4. My little Weber tailgater is indestructible. 20+ years old, great for burgers, dogs, etc. Last Halloween I had a bunch of leftover jalapeno & cheese venison sausage so I made a "Dad zone" at the house to hang out while their kids ran around the neighborhood. I bet we had a dozen guys in lawn chairs and went through most of the sausage and beer. *pumpkin is full of ice
  5. Alpha man Suburban hero Don't you already have an oven in your house?
  6. How is this news? It didn't "suddenly" become credible. Josh Rogin wrote and entire book about this. It was brought up at the time and dismissed away as wild conspiracy. In the wake of the SARS outbreak teams were actively investigating bats and potential viruses. The issue was the containment lab in Wuhan. The US Embassy Health and Science personnel sent three teams from 2017-2018 to meet with WIV scientists, including the infamous "Bat Lady". Upon learning how dangerous the understaffed lab was, two additional cables were sent to DC. Then Wuhan scientists themselves were hospitalized in 2019 with Covid-like symptoms US officials at the Beijing Embassy prompted alerts from the lab about a series shortage of trained technicians to safely operate such a high-containment lab. When it did "leak" into the open, the original scientists claiming it came from the wild were vested Chinese from the lab itself. It was EcoHealth head Peter Daszak that sent the original letter back to the US mirroring this narrative who's own scientists were working in tandem with them and tied together. GOF specifically, which Obama blocked domestically back in 2014, was being partially funded in China by the NIH.
  7. Doesn't A&M have that trademarked?
  8. I suffered through YEARS of it with both kids.
  9. So basically it's little kid soccer....
  10. Shit, Verdun is still killing people a hundred years later
  11. I wish all I had was a tire sensor issue. Fucking rats ate the fuel injector wiring harness on my truck. There's a grand. Next day truck's throwing multiple codes. Turns out the EVAP system is F'ed. I go back and forth and back and forth with the dealership. Got them down from $1,300 to $820. Still not fixed. Have to find the time to take it in. Such an asswhip.
  12. Late to the party - sweater-hitters are on point.
  13. It's pronounced allla-meeee-dah
  14. It’s not that bad. I can carry two big as kettlebells up and down and back and forth. It’s the hanging that is hard.
  15. If you really want to just say fuck my life, someone hit me with a car.....get or go to a gym with aerodyne bikes. Tabata's on an assault bike are puke worthy. Combined with farmers carries, oooffff.
  16. Look up Peter Attia and his suggestions for women and fitness as they age. Guy's amazing. Per Attia and others, muscle mass for women is hyper-critical as they age. VO2 Max, grip strength, mobility, bone density. All critical indicators of physical performance and a radical decrease in all-cause mortality factors. I used to scoff at heavy weight farmers carries. Now I can't get enough of it.
  17. Bring us back some...
  18. FBI had an old drill called the Tueller Drill they used to train agents with. It's up for some debate now, but the basic premise was someone with a knife/bat/etc. can cover 21 feet before you can clear your holster and get off a shot. If you are expecting it, sure you can make the shot. Out and about your normal life, I put some merit into it. Your brain can't process what is happening fast enough to react. But again, you "fell" to the level of training your subconscious, monkey brain remembers. And I remember the Kempo movie "The Perfect Weapon" having just about the baddest assest scene ever for the time when four dudes tried to take his wallet
  19. That's called adrenaline. It's why couch-cowboys who buy a gun, or a knife, or a baton think they are just going to "see red" and be able to perform. Doesn't work like that. Your fine motor skills go to shit. It's why a sport like BJJ, even if you are not any good, get you to experience having other people put their hands on you (and try to strangle you) helps inoculate you to some extent. I've never been mugged, but I was in think brush and was charged by a very large, very angry boar. I don't remember clearing my pistol, firing, and most certainly missing each and every shot at almost point blank range. Luckily he ran right past me. But I get it. The shakes last for what seems like an eternity. What's the expression - you don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your lowest level of training/preparation. As a gun guy, I'm talking to all you other gun guys.....adrenaline is a motherfucker, and @Gatorubet you did well thinking on your feet like that. Use the hose. Douse everyone and everything. Don't try and be a hero.
  20. Glad you're ok
