Our dock seems to be broken. It only works intermittently and you basically can't play any games on the TV with it, so I can't school my kids at Mario Kart or Smash Bros anymore. Are there any aftermarket docks that work well and won't brick my console?

Russians have experienced a lot more brain drain over the decades. There's just not very many people clever enough to do all that left.

Did they show how many shifts left on any of the characters that we can see how much time passed there?

We have reservations for Thanksgiving weekend at Robber's Cave State Park in Oklahoma for the second year in a row, so it looks like this may become a family tradition. Hopefully the wife won't forget to pack the ham in the cooler this year like she did last year. Robber's Cave is probably one of the best underappreaciated state parks within reasonable driving distance of lots of folks in Texas. Whenever we decide to go on a last minute camping trip, we can almost always find reservations available there when they are all booked everywhere else.

Gonna head out in the morning with all three stinkies to give momma a break and cruise around on the side by side with them, maybe explore some creek beds, and just do some fun stuff out at our family land. The flintlock is gonna have to chill for a bit, and I'm going to bring along my .243 that is set up for longer range shots as well as my .300 BO for when we are exploring the creek beds in the brush after last weekends monster buck for the property casually crossing the road 250 yards off while I was cruising around with my flintlock episode. Anyhow, the plan is to spend some time with them just hanging out, not really looking for anything, but being ready, and then take them back home to momma in time to get back out for an evening hunt and then another in the morning after spending the night in the camper. After that we'll take the camper home (we are going camping over Thanksgiving break, which looks like it might become a family tradition, so I gotta make sure everything is ready) and head out to the inlaws' place where the middle kid will probably want to go sit in the blind out there with me. It's dang near as complicated as sports season just planning time to hunt and balancing family as well when you have young children. I'm just glad I have one who wants to go do that stuff with me at only three years old.

Maybe what Chekhov didn't count on is that in some places pretty much everyone has a gun?

Just finished the last episode of The English, and, man, that last scene really kicked up the dust in the room. And on top of all that dust was the acknowledgement that the circus is exploitative, but it's also the only way that some people will be exposed to some things. Such a great ending.

I mean, you pretty much know as soon as they introduce some characters. Chaske Spencer gives some Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds) vibes. He also reminded me of Tommy Lee Jones in a lot of scenes. This guy needs more roles in quality westerns, but he would probably get typecast since he is native.

It probably sucks worse if it is unsuccessful. Hats off to them.

I learned that months ago from graffiti in a port-a-potty.

Ideally, you could pick what kind of goats arrive, but realistically it would have a be either live or completely processed. I'm not sure the optics of delivering a freshly slaughtered goat to a stranger are very good.

Speaking of, I'm thinking of starting a site called goat fund me where you can raise money to have goats delivered to a person of your choosing.

Her kids are named Aiden, Liam, and Declan? Sounds like child endangerment just giving them those names to me.

Using immigration to compensate for a stalled population is pretty poor policy, as it is just kicking the can down the road. Maybe we need to fix how society is structured instead of just screwing our youngest generations.

The Peripheral is pretty good Sci fi, but I'm gonna have to hit up this The English stuff while I'm waiting on the next ep to drop.

Yeah, why can't the rebels have more of those?

Would air defense missiles still have an armed warhead if they missed their target and hit the ground somewhere?

This feels like a "I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something" kinda situation to me. Hanlon's Razor, except there was actual malice, just likely directed at Ukraine.

Looks like my plans to eat the birds won't be interrupted by nuclear holocaust after all.

I wonder how many defenestrations have taken place today in Russia?

Imamac clearly a Russian agent!

It's poland. Any surgical strike is likely to be an amputation.

Just started this. I like how one of the neon signs in the bar in the blueridge mountains had Texas on it.

Was out this evening crossing an oil road, and paused to watch this guy go by... He was about 250 yards out according to the google earth's. I had my flintlock handy, so the shot wasn't going to happen. For this property in East Texas, that's pretty much a monster.

My three year old has been talking about deer all week. The wife asked him earlier in the week what he wanted to eat for dinner, and he said "cone." She didn't get what he was saying and asked him a couple more times. Then she looked in the rear view mirror and he said "cone" again, but with his hands up next to his head with his fingers out. Little dude wanted to eat deer corn for dinner because he has been coming with me to fill and check the feeders and looking at the pictures from my game camera. So tonight we went to the inlaws place because we were in town and I took him to go sit in the blind with me to go "hunting," figuring he'd make all kinds of noise and it would just be a chance for us to spend some time together. He was quiet the whole time and did better than anybody could ask a 3 year old to be. Nothing came out for us to see or anything, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience with him. One of my earliest memories was standing in the back of my grandfather's truck out in the pasture and watching him shoot what was probably a huge buck for East Texas at the time, so him doing so well going hunting with me is one of those memories I'll cherish and hope he does as well.
