  1. Kenya should send some actual leopards (trained to attack of course) just to mess with Germany.
  2. There were more US plates than Mexican plates on the road all the way from San Luis Potosí or Matehuala to Nuevo Laredo. Probably between 30 and 40 different states represented. My inlaws crossed Sunday night and only waited 2.5 hours. I guess all the people from more distant states had already crossed. The drive down before Christmas was pretty interesting too. Everybody was loaded up with a roof rack and a hitch rack stacked high with stuff that's cheaper here, and almost every vehicle had at least one new TV strapped down in their load somewhere.
  3. Between this and Biden's visit to El Paso, it must have shifted a lot of traffic to the east. We crossed back into Texas at Laredo Saturday night/Sunday morning and from the time we got in line to the time we cleared customs it was 8.5 hours.
  4. NFA weapons like suppressors. IIRC, your spouse cannot even legally possess a suppressor without you present (or possibly even know the combo to your safe, depending on how ambitious the ATF gets) if it is legally registered to you. Having it in a trust allows multiple people to be trustees and alleviates some of those issues. Also, estate planning is greatly simplified for NFA weapons versus registering it as an individual.
  5. It appears to have a sagittal crest, which indicates that it most likely belonged to a carnivor. Those spurs sticking out on the sides were from the eye sockets, the rest of the sockets have rotted away or were broken off or both. Doesn't appear to be based on size, it looks like a medium sized predator, but it could be a juvenile as well. I'd look at pictures of any known predators in the area to see if I could find a match.
  6. Prince Harry actually served in a combat tour in Afghanistan, so he deserves a little respect for that at least.
  7. At least whatever it was is on board with your management strategy.
  8. I can reply now. I couldn't earlier. I had at least two witty comments that deserved rep, so can we get back rep?
  9. Yeah, but that is assuming they use logic and reasoning to guide their decisions. If all they know is mafia type tactics, but their decisions are guided by religious fanaticism, then you could easily get this. I'm not saying it is likely, but it wouldn't be particularly surprising, given that they've already basically gotten away with bribing FIFA to get the WC and using slave labor to build their stadiums.
  10. I actually prefer coffee that has been sitting on the plate for a few hours, but maybe I am weird. Of course it never lasts that long at home, but occasionally I'll find a pot that has been sitting there for a few hours at work. With the crappy Folgers they have at work, it really improves the flavor.
  11. You're assuming they are competent and know anything other than mafia type tactics.
  12. Probably these: Sometimes made with some sort of weight like a steel or lead ball in the center.
  13. I mean, we have writers here. We just need to get one or more on board to come up with a proper screenplay and then shop it out or however it works.
  14. The abuse of too and to in this post is a good example of FA. Maybe there will be a FO?
  15. I'm pretty sure there's a thread for that in IPIHB.
  16. I think your gonna have to tag one of the mods to get them to change it. For now, any real discussion of the show probably needs to be in spoilers, but maybe after a few weeks when people have had a chance to watch it all we can get them to add a "spoilers starting on page 2 (or 3 or whatever)" tag to the title and discuss it openly.
  17. Some assembly required, but the fit is supposed to be extremely good, so it's mainly just finishing the wood and metal bits to how you like them. https://kiblerslongrifles.com/products/woodsrunner-rifle-kit-pre-order?variant=39687164821622
  18. Yeah, this isn't exactly the kind of show that lends itself well to threads where people might be at different stages of watching it. I enjoyed it.
  19. 95% of the squares on the front line can easily be identified as to whether or not they have a mine just from what you can see from what is already revealed there.
