  1. So much this. I'm definitely not some super tough guy bad ass or anything, but I lack the self control to not do something horrible to a person like this in a position of power if it was one of my kids. I wonder if their tune changes if it's people that actually have the power to make changes start getting toe tags instead of innocent children.
  2. Jesus fuck that's hard to watch. With kids ages 7, 9, and 13 at school right now this made me tear up this morning. That poor child's parents will never get to hold them or squeeze them ever again. Dropped her off and school with her bright pink outfit on and didn't realize that would be the last time they would ever see her alive. It's just too much to take. We are a broken society with horseshit leaders. Thanks to the bravery of these officers only three children were murdered, but every child in that school is scarred for life. Don't look away. Shove this in people's faces that trot out the "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" line of thinking.
  3. The most obvious video of him I've seen involved some lower jaw action like I haven't seen since Club Some in the late 90's.
  4. Yea, the guy trying to eradicate Malaria without using mass vaccinations is trying to depopulate the planet. Seek alternative sources of information and then GFY.
  5. Damn. Real-deal badasses. And yea, "Expecting a fuckfest is worse than the fuckfest itself" is motto worthy.
  6. I've bought shares ranging from $30.40 all the way down to $6.17. <goofyI'lldoitagain.gif>
  7. She knew right away she was cooked too. If I'm going on a live TV show to discuss my book where I examine the dangers of woke culture, you better bet your ass I'm going to have my elevator pitch fine tuned and ready to go.
  8. This all hits a little too close to home. My relationship with my mom got really toxic during Covid/TFG's presidency. We had to basically make a pact to not discuss politics so we could try to maintain a healthy relationship. But she tells me she doesn't watch Fox News.
  9. We got a Volvo XC90 PEHV last December for my wife and we really like it so far. We live ~13 miles from the town where my kids go to school and she can drop them off, run an errand or two, and make it back home on battery alone (if it's not cold outside). She plugs it in when she gets home and it's fully charged when it's time to go back to town. I did have an electrician put in a 220 outlet and it cut the charging time down significantly. It would take almost all night to get a full charge previously. The real world battery range is ~32 miles or so, gas range is another ~400 miles I think? It's twitchy off the line too when the battery is fully charged.
  10. Pretty sure it is intentional. When your main goal is to scare the shit out of the rubes, then dark/ominous lighting is what you're going for.
  11. Good call Cucker! DEI was most definitely the downfall of SVB. 3 women on the leadership team, but not a whole lot of melanin in the room.
  12. He really needs his ass kicked. I'm not one to hearken back to the good ole days, but there was a time in our past when people that talked that much shit and ran their mouth constantly would get their ass kicked pretty quickly.
  13. Sorry man, really didn’t mean to be a dick. Just trying to save you from a lot of stress and anxiety. But maybe you are right and everyone else here is missing out.
  14. Yea, I'm not sure why you are so hung up on a canvas tent for camping in Texas, but I'm 99.9% sure that everyone (including yourself) is going to hate you if you buy any of those posted above. Those all have to be a royal pain in the ass to setup when compared to a modern/polyester tent. And trying to set up that pot belly stove and keep a fire going is going to be more work too. I have a 6 person tent from REI and have camped in it with all 3 of my kids multiple times. They sleep on single air mattresses and I sleep on a cot; wife stays home because it's not her thing. We've slept in it when it got down to 22ish degrees overnight and everyone, including my 5 y.o. girl at the time was fine. The one I have is the earlier model of this: REI also has an 8 person from North Face that looks amazing as well. I bet you could set this up in 15-20 minutes after your first try to figure it all out- https://www.rei.com/product/206321/the-north-face-wawona-8-tent
  15. The mother fucker has no shame. It takes about 1.5 seconds for him to eat the shit burger and keep plowing on with his next line of horseshit. “April 2022…”
  16. I hope to hell Dominion doesn't settle. I'm not even sure if they are considering that or not, but putting these fucks on the stand and making them say out loud what we know they already said in text messages may be our only hope to break people out of the echo chamber of bullshit. His closing is really the whole thing - a news organization in the United States argued that telling the truth would hurt their brand. What in the actual fuck!?
  17. Well said. I wish I liked more of it, but nothing comes close to grabbing me like Southeastern did. That might be an unfairly high bar as well though.
  18. Ho-lee-shit. An ad for this thing just popped up on my IG feed and sent me to their website. It can be all yours for only $249,900. https://www.vanguardmotorsales.com/inventory/4722/1979-ford-bronco-restomod-4x4
  19. I live on a pretty rural lake out in East Texas and see a lot of the birds posted up-thread by Anton. We have a pair of nesting Bald Eagles that have been around for a few years now and I see them quite a bit. I work from home most of the time and can always hear them chattering well before I can see them. When the lake was really low last fall I saw them hang out on the shore and pick apart a decent sized catfish with the quickness. I've been putting up Eastern Bluebird boxes for a few years and have an ongoing battle with the area rat snakes trying to get the babies. I put up a 5 foot section of stove pipe around the pole that the main box is mounted on yesterday and hope that puts an end to my problem. It's mounted outside the window to my office and I really enjoy watching the whole process. I saw a male scouting the other day but it was before I'd cleaned out the nest from the year before so they wouldn't take to the box. I really want to get a big set of Purple Martin pods but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Something like this: I have a friend that has some of these up out in the country near their pond and it's a lot of fun to watch them go to work. I've never noticed this thread before but will try to get some pictures to share.
  20. I just re-read the first page of this thread and it does a pretty good job of covering both sides of the argument. I tend to fall on the side of the argument that repealing 230 would make it very difficult to keep a site like Surly up. It would also make Tigerdroppings go away, so it might be worth it...
  21. After trolling around FB marketplace for most of the day this one looks like decent value. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/667210194948784/
