I grew up riding around on the tractor and was driving it as soon as I could stand up and reach far enough to push in the clutch. First time I drove the truck without anyone in the cab with me was because the cattle got across the creek that served as the back property line. We got all the cows back in the trailer and shuttled to our pasture easily but the bull was not happy. Plan was to open the gate to the trailer and start rolling so we’d get some distance quickly from the bull. Dad told me “pop the clutch and give it gas, it’s a diesel so you can’t kill it. Don’t stop until the bull stops chasing us. I don’t want to get hurt.” I was somewhere between 10 and 12. Farm life was fun and a hell of a lot of work. My kids don’t get exposure to that, unfortunately.

Bullshit.

You’re ignoring the obvious elephant in the room. If Russia is rewarded for their bad behavior in starting this war, what would make you think they would adhere to any treaty that was signed? They’ve told you who they are. Believe them.

While I agree with you on excessive sentencing, for me to feel 5 years to be appropriate for murder I would have to believe we had a successful rehabilitation program in place.

Wolfe City?

I would assume they have not enough pilots for the airframes they're getting, and will keep those that they do real close to the vest. I guess it also depends on the standoff distance of the ordinance they have. If we give them some of the fun stuff, maybe that kicks stuff off when the ground freezes.

Yeah, I've known several folks that have had it last 3-4 weeks. I got the Novavax this time around, I hadn't been boosted in a few years. I had not much more than a sore arm, which is nice because Moderna always gave me fever and chills the night following the shot.

Expecting perfect messaging from anyone when they’re dealing with a huge issue they have very little experience with is unrealistic. They were doing the best they could and weren’t perfect. Let it go.

What’s the use case for that? Give it to every kid just in case? Or would the plan be for folks who plan to have risky behaviors seek out the vaccine, basically meaning they don’t have to carry narcan

Wasn’t that a Tom Clancy novel?

The only way this happens is if cost of water skyrockets or regulation comes down due to a widespread supply shortage. Which is to say it would be fucking painful at a societal scale. People just don’t have a conservation mindset, and the average Joe won’t or can’t pay for a grey water system as it stands. I can’t imagine what a plumber would charge for the first time they tried to rig up a system, especially if it was piecemeal. Which is sad because at the neighborhood or apartment building scale, it wouldn’t be that hard or expensive to do. For a single house, when they’ve never done it before…good luck.

I get only having one set of pipes to residences. Utilities cost money. I think the lower hanging fruit is grey water systems for toilets and irrigation, ie using water more than once at the end of the line. Can also do rainwater collection for toilets as well, as that doesn’t cost much for treating and you’re looking at what, around 1000-1500 gallons a month to flush toilets?

You can’t blow the whistle on things that aren’t illegal, because we don’t have robust data privacy laws.

It’s not that hard when you look at rates of alcohol use and suicide for active duty personnel. Having lots of guns around is a bad idea. Now guard shack of a major installation seems different to me, but it is also located inside the city limits of a relatively safe American city.

Why the fuck is San Antonio that low when they have more water scarcity problems than Austin?
