  1. Do you understand the difference between "internet message board users complain" and "elected officials with a lot of power make sweeping changes to the right to vote for millions of Americans"?
  2. Feels like a lifetime ago, but ya, this.
  3. Anyone waiting on Creasy to give a well-informed reply based on facts and reason should just settle in and get real comfy for a long while.
  4. Another "obvious to anyone with an IQ even approaching the triple digits" type thing.
  5. You didn't answer his question, and thus completely proved his point.
  6. This, a thousand times over. He's the whiniest little snowflake bitch this country has every seen in the presidential office, but he says he's not and all his followers go "oh ok."
  7. This is so blatantly obvious to anyone with an ounce of reason within their skull. But damn people love to cling to their cult beliefs.
  8. Old coyote with the broken leg again (he can put a little weight on it when walking slow). Learned this weekend that the rangers call him Tripod.
  9. It never does. Each trip is different.
  10. Lots of luck involved. I've been to Yellowstone 30 times in the past year, and on 5 occasions I've seen wolves within photographic distance.
  11. Annoying background noise from one truck on the road that wouldn't shut off, but you can here them here VID_20211126_071049.mp4
  12. radio-collared wolf in Yellowstone
  13. The trend of black uniforms has really leaked into the NFL, and I hate it.
  14. Bullock was in it for both Baylor and Tech. Ann gave no fucks and has said so more than once.
  15. I think Houston is "fine." I feel they were obviously choice #4, and of the available options for choice #4, maybe I would have gone with Memphis or Boise, but UH is fine. All teams probably like more games in Texas, and UH vs Baylor/ Tech/ TCU will be fun for those of us who remember the SWC.
  16. My favorite animal in Yellowstone, an old coyote that broke his leg a couple years ago. He still can't run on that leg, but he just keeps on keeping on.
  17. Texas schools + OSU + BYU would be a pretty fun division after UT and OU leave.
  18. Ya when I had to put down my old cat Jack last year it was truly the hardest day of my life. Harder than losing my grandparents or Dad or anything else. The overwhelming sense of responsibility just got to me. With Charlie, he occasionally had small "wheezing" spells, but only immediately after running around like a madman chasing laser pointers and whatnot. I always took it as just breathing hard from the exertion, but now I see perhaps it was something more. Just so unexpected for such a young and (outwardly) healthy kitten.
  19. I appreciate y'all. Wife is a doctor who's lost patients, done CPR to patients, etc.; she still said the 5 minutes of processing what was happening while trying to save Charlie was the most traumatic of her life. Just a rough day. Thank y'all for the words and encouragement.
  20. I'm not sure this is the best place but needed to let out some emotion today. Last night, our 7 month old kitten suddenly died. He was a stray we took in off the streets at less than two months old after he nearly got hit by a bus outside my work. He looked every bit to be a Maine ****. He was hyper and silly and so so affectionate. He loved people and followed you around everywhere you went.Yesterday he was completely himself. Last night, he suddenly let out a cry, collapsed, and was unresponsive. We tried everything we could, just in shock and my wife screaming. We did CPR and mouth to mouth. He was a limp body in our arms. After trying for several minutes it was obvious he was gone. His normal, healthy and hyper self one minute, then literally gone the next.It was so traumatic, so shocking, so crushing. Such a loveable little guy with so much life in him, suddenly just gone. Maine Coons are prone to heart disease, but even so, to collapse at so young an age isn't typical. It happens, but isn't typical. But to be so sudden, it is difficult to find any other explanation besides something blood or heart related (cardiomyopathy, aneurysm, thrombus, etc.). The entire time from him acting normal to unresponsive was less than 30 seconds. He had all his checkups, all his tests, all his vaccines. We did everything we could to make sure he was healthy and ready for a big long happy life. I took him off the streets to give him a good life, and boy did he deserve one, and then he just gets taken. My wife and I are crushed.Last year I lost a different cat, a dog in a cat's body, that I'd had for 13 years. That was like losing a best friend.I have no point in this post. If anyone has had something similar happen, please feel free to share/ I'd like to hear of it. I've never heard of anyone losing a healthy young kitten like this. When they're super young, sure; when they're old cats, sure. But not when they're past infancy and doing so well at several months old. The unexpected/ rare nature of this is so shocking to us. Or if people would like to make this a memoriam to lost pets in general, that's fine too.Again, apologies for the rambling post. Just need to get this out and vent somewhere. It's been an awful 24 hours. RIP Charlie
  21. Good god
