  1. You sure have a lot of pent up hate for people who are merely seeking to pay honest money for a room and maybe some meals.
  2. There's a significant number of government officials and military officers who have been involved with this stuff who have come forward and said there's a lot going on that certain people have worked extremely hard to hide. At this point we've crossed from conspiracy theory type stuff to the point where there is a significant likelihood that we are not alone.
  3. If youve already taken the class, isn't submitting the same paper just showing proof that you've already learned the material?
  4. FYI, The Phenomenon is on Tubi to watch for free. It's well worth the hour and a half it takes to watch it.
  5. You wouldn't even need that. Pump dirty seawater through a shell and tube exchanger with clean water on the other side, then pump the clean water through a radiator type exchanger with forced ventilation. It probably wouldn't be as cool as a freon cooled system, but you wouldn't have to worry about coils freezing up or any of that.
  6. Couldn't you just pump seawater through a heat exchanger to cool off the inside?
  7. A deterrent to making money? What's the point in being rich if you can't drive as fast as you want? I guess I'm not planning to be rich anymore.
  8. Interesting. Homeboy with the helmet cam is running an M16 variant, while his buddy to the right has an AK variant. I'm sure Russian logistics is having no problem keeping them supplied with the proper ammo.
  9. Just rewatch Deadwood, The Wire, and the Sopranos. Should pretty much get you through summer.
  10. Give soldiers just a little spare time and they will come up with some crazy stuff. My brother said when they were in Afghanistan they used to wrap grenades with C4, then wrap it with barbed wire, and then duct tape.
  11. Need to get an actual stock for it now.
  12. So how many form 1's are getting filed tonight, and what happens when the ATF's website can't handle the load?
  13. I told my daughter I had to finish BOTW before we could get the new Zelda game, and she's been obsessed with playing it ever since. The only problem is she just finished kindergarten, so she is constantly asking for help with what they are saying or how to get one of the horses to some random village she wants to live in.
  14. Anybody else having problems with it not showing shows that you've been watching on the continue watching list? I've been watching The Sopranos and it doesn't show up, and it doesn't keep track of the episodes I've watched since the switch.
  15. That actor must have been in some sort of serious financial bind in order to agree to film that commercial. That or they threatened to kill his family if he didn't.
  16. So, this tmshould probably go into one of the Star Wars threads, but I've recently started a rewatch of The Clone Wars. There are a bunch of lists out there about essential episodes I've found, but not any for those who want to watch like 90 percent of the show and only skip the episodes that are clearly filler and have no bearing on the overall plot or character development. So I've been taking notes on episodes that are mostly worthless and a few that could go either way.
  17. Martin Creek is probably the worst state park I've been to, but still it's a state park that is close to a lot of people for a weekend getaway and I believe the fishing is supposed to be pretty good due to the power plant.its probably worth saving just for those reasons. With a bit more funding, they could probably make it decent. It's pretty sad that Oklahoma and Arkansas have much better state park systems than we do. Obviously they have mountains and stuff that we don't have in much of Texas that makes them more attractive getaways, but there is still a need for places to get away and go camping nearby and educational facilities to teach kids about nature.
  18. It's all worthless, of course. Send it to me and I'll at least provide a place to put it out to pasture so to speak.
  19. Ok, so I said I would update this thread last summer after our trip down there and I didn't. Apologies. So here is an installment. We went up to Pinal de Amoles coming from the Queretaro side and spent a night. The town itself didn't feel too remarkable as far as beautiful buildings and stuff other than you could feel the potential for lots of cool stuff to explore in the area. Restaurants were spotty and the roads were narrow because it was basically built on the side of the mountains. We still had our big Nissan NV van at the time, and there were a few places where we had to roll down the windows, pull the mirrors in, and cross our fingers just to make it to our Airbnb. The town was up in the clouds, so it was pretty misty the whole time and I couldn't get any pictures that did it justice. The drive up, however, was pretty awesome. You go from dessert all the way through several transitional ecosystems on the way up with great views the whole way. Sucks to be the driver, however, because the roads demand attention unless you pull off and spend a bit of time to take it all in. Anyhow, we went to this place called Puente de Dios (Queretaro, not San Luis Potosi) nearby. More sketchy roads of course, but nothing you can't handle in a normal vehicle unless you get caught in a situation where you actually have to pass someone going the other way. You have to pay a reasonable amount of Pesos to get a tour guide to take you up the trail, but you are rewarded by a stream flowing through what at times almost feels like a slot canyon. The path is often suspended on the side of the canyon. After a decent hike in which is easily accessible for young kids you get to the Peunte de Dios. It doesn't look like too much from this view, but what you are basically looking at is a land bridge over the stream with shafts of water flowing into it from giant rock vaginas in the ceiling. This is the view from inside, looking the same direction as the previous picture. There are also active silver mines on the trail down to the Puente de Dios, and you can buy rocks full of silver ore from the locals along the trail. Also, Pulque. On the drive down into the valley you will see lots of maguey being cultivated on the sides of mountains that are far to steep for any sane person to try and cultivate anything. After you get done with your hike, take a bit of time to enjoy some locally and traditionally made pulque. Apologies for the sideways pictures, that happens whenever I upload them unless I edit them in some way and ain't nobody got time for that.
  20. Probably not, but are somewhat likely to look at the description of the show in the app to see who made it, who's in it, and what it is about. If you just randomly include the drivers who were the creative vision behind the show/movie who made it happen along with a bunch of random other folks, then it kind of hides their importance.
  21. As far as condiments go, stuff like Whataburger Spicy Ketchup stays, because we don't always have it on hand (no HEB nearby, unless I go out to the family land to put out deer corn or swap the batteries or memory card on the game cam and drive ten minutes out of the way each way to stop by a paltry HEB Pantry Foods store that is mostly just depressing). Random stuff that we already have, well it probably stays also until the fridge purge that happens every couple months or so. You were doing good until the last sentence.
