  1. How about one of them goes and jabs an ice pick or at least a ballpoint into Lavrov’s ear instead?
  2. Holy shit. I almost spent more on electronics for my bass boat than I did on the boat itself, so I can appreciate the sonar capability. Insane that you can pick up that much detail and that far out. I can see about 150ft out on the side imaging and it's mesmerizing to ride around and look at everything laid out on the bottom.
  3. Jesus. The tackle on on display there cost more than my bass boat. Badass machine.
  4. Sink that mother fucker wherever it is right now. Fuck.
  5. Distant explosions in Kyiv just now live on CNN.
  6. Fuck this pathetic mad man. I hope this is the beginning of Putin’s demise.
  7. These guys out of Lockhart make a mobile version of this that I'd love to have if I had $5k I wanted to set on fire: https://millscale.co/collections/cookers/products/open-fire-grills
  8. I hate to laugh at another man's misfortune, but..... that's some funny shit right there. I spent most of my childhood shitting in deer camp outhouses and have always hated it. We had a lease off of the Willow City loop where I shot my first deer and the outhouse was so rank that I'd hang on to the column holding up the roof on the back porch and shit into the canyon below instead of going in there. The deeper the better on the hole and keep a sack of hydrated lime or at least ash from the fire pit around to knock down the stench a bit.
  9. Yea, sorry. That's fair. I can just understand being proud of your daughter in that moment, however humbling the moment was for you.
  10. This is some awesome shit Mac, thank you for sharing. This has to be a great feeling that you are doing an amazing job in raising your daughter and you are doing the right thing.
  11. 80 degrees in east Texas today. The concrete and the windows on the house are all sweaty. Yuk
  12. Yea, those phones look old af
  13. I just ordered a few things. I like your style dude.
  14. Moar pics @troph! That looks awesome, it's on my bucket list.
  15. I'll just put this right here. No particular reason.
  16. Yea, this. I'm glad this dude saw the light, but why do they have to touch the stove to actually admit that the motherfucker is hot!? Maddening.
  17. Made it through another Nape unscathed. I drove back home this morning and skipped going to the floor at all. Pretty decent turnout and it was good to see a lot of people face to face that I hadn't seen in a few years.

    Yea man, I was able to sort it out and appreciate you bringing this to our attention!
  19. Yea, I think I have a Lamson reel on my 5 wt TFO. I've got a 7wt TFO rod and reel for bass fishing and it's fine for what I'm trying to do with it. I don't think I'd take it to go catch reds though.
  20. TFO is worth a look too. They aren't in the same class as some of the high dollar rods, but I feel like they punch above their weight for the price for sure. https://tforods.com/fly-fishing/
  21. According to who? If I can pay $300 in gas to avoid weeks of providing meaningless docs so some clerk at the title company can check a box, pay ~$1,000+ for title insurance, and I never have to leave my office to complete the transaction in a few minutes? Sign me the fuck up. It's not a shitty deal just because you say it is lol. There's definitely space to improve a number of different currently used "systems" using this tech. I'm not sure why you can't see that or won't admit it. It's far from perfect, but a lot of the socially accepted systems of ownership we are using currently are f'n clown shoes.
  22. Will keep watching. I'm a real estate investor as well and I find the process of buying new real estate to be horribly inefficient, time consuming, and generally a PITA. With every transaction I find myself thinking that there has to be a better way. It's just that it became the socially acceptable transfer of ownership to have that piece of paper in a file at the courthouse, sign my name 50 times, pay title insurance (f'n scam), etc. NFTs are a still very young and constantly changing and expanding into new applications. Dan is taking a snapshot and shitting all over it because it's not perfect right now - at least that is what it feels like to me. I'm more intrigued by what NFTs can become than by what they are at the moment.
  23. I watched the first half of the video above so far and will have to finish the rest later. Dan seems to really like the smell of his own farts...but he does make a lot of valid points. Where I'd disagree with him is that NFTs are only collectables/ponzi/great fool schemes. Similar to what gyro says above, there are a lot of other practical applications for NFTs that Dan doesn't discuss (or maybe I didn't get there yet). I could agree that the NFT collectable/jpeg Ape side of NFTs are a fad that will fade away. But as a way to efficiently pool funds very quickly and share ownership in something, I think they are here to stay. DAOs are very interesting to me as well and I fail to see the downside in them at this point.
  24. Fucking amazing story. Thank you for taking the time and effort to get all that into this form so we could share it with you. Also, here's an amateur sketch of Klaus, probably:
