So many things with this story. Iranian chic stabs dude in Vegas as payback for Qasem Soleimani...
Didn't we have a thread for when this originally went down? Seems like we did.

So I guess we can mark down Valentine's Day, a holiday that is supposed to represent love, as the day that Brisket was fully radicalized? Or was it earlier? Change out a few words and he would crowd sourced pretty swiftly. It's pretty depressing seeing that kind of language coming from someone who has themselves been exposed to similar hatred as a mixed minority at a time when we are dealing with an increased level of hatred towards people like him. I hope his general predilection in this area doesn't catch on as my own children might be dealing with the same sort of stuff he dealt with growing up. Counterpoint: Longview was the origin of the Big Inch pipeline that played a big role in winning WWII. Just because it isn't big doesn't mean it isn't very important.

The Gun Owner’s thread
There are lots of convicted felons who were convicted of non violent crimes who should have all there rights restored once they've done their time. Just my opinion.

If nitpicking is what you've come here for, a couple points. 1. He has plenty of time and wherewithal to swim inside the boat to retrieve his rifle, but doesn't bother to grab some blankets and stuff to make a shelter from the sun? 2. Homegirl has presumably spent weeks traveling through the African bush with him, but lack of plumbing gives her pause?

Offering incentives for folks to have more kids is just kicking the can down the road. Same with immigration, and I'm all for immigration. The reality is that a certain generation has structured our economy in such a way that there is no other option but pain. They would rather the younger generations feel the pain, so that is what is going to happen. So thanks, I guess.

Lizard and ostrich are both nice. Lizard are a bit dressier, but ostrich is more durable. Can't go wrong with either unless you are planning to use them to do actual work.

Arrowhead Hunting
We have some springs on our property that feed into a creek named "Indian Creek," but I've never found anything there. It's all East Texas sandy creek beds that are deep enough that the drilling company had to put in eight foot culverts to keep it from washing out, but I'm not sure I've even found a rock in there that wasn't washed off from the road. I guess maybe I need to make a screen and try shoveling.

I haven't really looked into the history of logger boots, but I would tend to gravitate to the common ancestor theory. High heels in men's footwear was common as far back as men have been fighting wars on horseback with stirrups. They were a thing during the reign of King Louis IXV . The arch support is a necessary component of such construction.

I don't have any sources to pull out of my hat, but before the ACA a lot of churches provided childcare. After the ACA a whole bunch of them shut down their childcare businesses. I asked about it at the time and was told that there were new requirements which made it impossible for them to run a non-profit childcare business. So we lost a bunch of those, and of course supply and demand reared it's ugly hand and now childcare costs so much that it really doesn't make sense for a mother of two or three or more kids to work just to cover child care costs. Now, I could be wrong on the causes and the ACA and all that, as that all happened before I had kids, but the fact still stands that the cost of child care is so high that it discourages families from having two working parents.

They were probably banking on Europe not being able to come up with supplies of natty gas on their own and hoping to use that as leverage.

Controversy in Singapore
And in a move that is in no way a surprise to anyone, Brisket once again demonstrates that he has exceptionally high self esteem.

Twelve months ago the consensus was that it would take five years to wean Europe off of Russian natty gas. I'm not saying we can flip a switch, but when the incentives are right things can move along much quicker than we think.- Cowboy Boots
Pretty decent summary, Twice. I would add that one of the speculative reasons for square toed footwear back in the day is that it was easier to make on a straight last and fit decently on either foot. Most footwear even for wealthier folks was made on a straight last up until the mid nineteenth century or so.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
I believe there was a Twitter thread posted last week or so that was showing the Russian tanks had been retrofitted to use older optics from the previous generation of tanks.- The Gun Owner’s thread

Did he state that in the movies, or just the books? Because if it was just in the books I'd imagine they are following movie cannon and anything not in the movies is fair game to mess around with.- 1923
You clearly aren't familiar with 1883.- The Gun Owner’s thread
When we bought our house a few years ago, I asked about the guns and of course had to give an estimate of the total value. Life pro tip for all of you single fellows, have that conversation without your wife present if at all possible. At the very best it's an invitation for her to spend a bunch of money on clothes or shoes that she won't wear after one season. Some of my most "valuable" guns are old beat up family guns that can't be replaced (you should see the muzzle crown on my grandad's pre 64 .30-30 that he always stuck muzzle down in the floorboard of his truck), but I'd like to be able to replace them with the same model and caliber if anything happened to them.- The Business of Hollywood & Streaming
