  1. There was also evidence that their Blue Angels equivalent group was being used for combat, which also says a lot.
  2. Nice, but no shots of tractors towing tanks?
  3. Dude, the tweet you posted said they were denied due to their skin color? I guess that's not racism now?
  4. New episodes of Bluey out. I'm pretty sure the kids just binged all of them this morning.
  5. Yep, I did this last year as well.
  6. Next time ditch the manual screw drivers and just use a power drill.
  7. Yep, we should all take a moment to remember that denazification has nothing to do with eliminating Nazis as we think of them and everything to do with eliminating those who they perceive to have betrayed them, or just enemies.
  8. I thought the greater powers confirmed that nobody else was posting from the same IP address? Seems like we need some confirmation.
  9. Remember, they hate the Nazis because they betrayed them, not because of what they stood for. They could care less about all the atrocities the Nazis committed. All they care about is that they betrayed them.
  10. It was more mid 1800's when the Buffalo robe (plu bone and everything else eventually) trade really kicked off. The beaver trade started declining in the late 1830's, with the last rendezvous in 1840 I believe. Beaver was still being trapped, but fashions in Europe started drifting away from beaver hats and more towards silk hats, and at the same time there were more and more trading posts established on the frontier. During all this time, Europeans were trapping out the areas, but there were still plenty of natives trading for furs as well. As beaver fell out of favor in Europe, American immigrants were crossing the country, and buffaloes robes grew in demand. And it wasn't the French who were supplying them. It was mostly Anglo Europeans with a smattering of native help.
  11. So is her axe supposed to be metal or stone? Because if it is metal, I'm not sure that there are any examples of axe heads like that in any historical records. If it was stone, it would have shattered in the first scene. Also, thats not how you sharpen a flint edge. Fun movie, but my interest in the period kind of makes some of these "little" things stand out. I will say I think they showed a decent job at showing the Comanches in a sort of transition period where they were just starting to aquire horses to become the tribe that we think of today, even if there was one scene with a clearly modern saddle that didn't exist for another 100 years minimum.
  12. And if you are just running around town to get groceries and pick up/drop off kids from school and stuff you should use less gas than that as long as you plug it in.
  13. True, but the feds like to have a very thorough air tight case before they make a move.
  14. The HEB's in Monterrey are glorious. I highly recommend a road trip.
  15. Finally caught up on the last couple of episodes. Like said, that was pretty much the perfect ending for the series, but if they can push out that kind of quality for another season or more I am in.
  16. Gotta get out and clean up these two feeder pens. Probably going to cut the top foot or so off of them, as the deer never jumped the fence last season and we ended up just feeding raccoons and a few other varmints. Hopefully that will be enough and I won't have to buy more cattle panels to make the pens bigger, as they were almost twice the price last time I checked. We also have to move these two tripod stands. And build a base for this blind (also gotta add a funnel so we have somewhere to pee without opening the door). I was planning on fixing up an old feeder in this hay enclosure, planting a small food plot, patching up the fence, and adding a bypass gate, but the guy running cattle on our family land has already done most of that so he can store hay there, so I gotta talk to him and see where we can build him another one as I know the deer frequent this corner. All of that is going to involve a lot of manual labor, and it's just been so hot this year. We've had decent rain, but it will probably have to wait a month or so for it to cool down a bit and fingers crossed the deer won't care. This last picture captures pretty well what it feels like about now. We gotta put the work in now so he will have a place to grow up hunting.
  17. Yeah, but it would take some time to work it's way through the courts. There would probably be a few years where the courts in some districts grant a stay and some don't before SCOTUS would take it up. And you also need cause to apeal to the federal courts, so someone would basically have to be arrested for defying it to even challenge it. At least that is my understanding of the process.
  18. Too dry and too hot. I've got a small enclosure where my grandfather used to put his round bales that I need to fix the fence and add a by pass gate to so I can put a feeeder in the middle and plant a small food plot, a couple of tripod stands to move, and a box stand that I need to build a base for and set it on top. It's just too hot to do that kind of work right now.
  19. Six is probably a little young for a handgun, but not out of the ordinary for something like a .22 while under strict supervision. Maybe they showed him how to shoot it thinking he would realize how powerful it was and have more respect for it? Regardless, they should have kept the keys to the safe somewhere where he wouldn't have access to them.
  20. Takes all day too cook up them birds, eh?
  21. She was reliving her memories as her present self. Any time she looked in a mirror the reflection was her younger self. They weren't trying to pull off her being a kid anymore. I assume because of the cost of de-aging her would have been too much.
  22. Maybe it's just really low octane gas?
  23. Daughter got sick last Friday, followed by me starting to get sick Saturday night. I had chills all night and then was fine by the next evening with just a lingering cough. She recovered about the same time. So about a day for me and two for her. Wife started to get sick night before last along with the two boys. She was sick enough she could barely get out of bed yesterday and took a test. Positive. I took a test this morning and tested positive as well, despite having been mostly over it for half of a week. She is still pretty sick, along with one of our sons. The other is only halfway sick still.
  24. It was still a subspecies, but I believe the population wasn't large enough to maintain healthy genetics, so they had to introduce a little outside blood.
