  1. Fox News does this thing where they say something reasonable for a minute and then go right back to spewing dangerous nonsense 24/7.  This is one of those times. 
    Yeah I remember reasonable, measured, somewhat honest daytime coverage during the Bart Kavanaugh hearings.
    Until they got their talking points in order. Then it was back to the disgusting normal by nightfall.
  2. Florida fly guides in general have a reputation for being assholes. You're lucky he wasn't screaming at you all day. Good friend of mine booked 3 days with a kind of famous one a couple years ago, and half way through the first day he told the guide to take him back to the dock before he beat his ass on his own boat. 
    Edit to add my buddy isn't anovice, either. He's caught probably 1,000 bonefish and 50-60 adult Tarpon in his life.
    That ain't no shit.
    My buddy used to keep a boat in Florida and had a captain run charters on it to defray costs and maintenance.

    Mate finds Captains drug stash while headed with clients offshore, dumps the drugs over the side. Captain goes apeshit chasing the mate all over the boat first with a broken bottle then with a knife. Clients are hysterical. Mate jumps overboard and swims for it. Much legal shenanigans insue.

    Sounds like a good day.

    I feel for guides. You get all sorts of shitheads, drunks and slobs and you are at the mercy of the fish and weather. Tough gig.

  3. Well, you aren't a science person.
    A science person in the midst of a pandemic would first be concerned with controlling it.  The origin is useful only if it bears on controlling it.  We are a good ways toward controlling it, without knowing its precise origin.
    A science person wouldn't assume facts as you do.
    Science people aren't terribly concerned with assessing blame on other scientists.
    I have said repeatedly that the whole situation, not limited in any way shape or form to Fauci, is worthy of investigation.  Once the dust settles.
     
     
    Wrong wrong libtard. That's why ER Doctors focus first on the origin of the gunshot wound, prosecute the perpetrator fully, identify the caliber of the bullet used etc- then you can go about stabilizing the patient and stopping blood loss.

  4. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1127698/influenza-us-deaths-by-age-group/
     
    This site says 477 deaths for flu in 2018-2019, most of them aged 0-4. In any case, the numbers are minuscule. Going on tv and screaming about how the kids are in danger is largely false.
    If that analyst or whoever wanted to save more kids’ lives he’d go on TV and scream about the importance of your kids getting swimming lessons and safety around water. 
    Sounds like socialism to me, no thanks. Kids need to work hard and learn to swim on their own instead of always asking for assistance.

  5. God damn, the population of Surly is full of overweight balding old dudes with tinnitus and limp noodles.
    What is this place going to be like in 10 more years?
     
     
    6-1 175, fuck like I'm 18. At 46 sir

    Tinnitus like a mother fucker tho
  6. There will never be another republican president of the United States. And rightly so. Because it would mean the end of the country. We already luckily somehow dodged that bullet. That won’t happen again.
    Ha ha
    Holy shit.
    Pour me a glass of that Kool Aide

    I put the odds of another one in 2024 at a smooth coin flip. A little global economic decline or a dip in the markets and the independents go R all hurr durr.
    That group ways votes base on some blizzard of "feeling"

    Feelings aren't predictable

  7. Ted Cruz somehow thinks he can be president which is absolutely ridiculous. He’s battling Lindsey Graham for who is the biggest cuck cocksucker of Trump’s micro dick and at least ladybugs has the excuse that he’s gay.
    Even hardcore trumplicans hate Ted Cruz but he’s apparently unaware of that fact. Or just doesn’t care because he’s a psychopath.
     
    His own family hates him. He will die alone.
    When?

  8. If they don't shoot there, then the angry mob chanting Hang Mike Pence probably gets to Mike Pence. He was right around the corner. 
    Like if you storm the White House, and are heading upstairs to where the first family is... you're gonna get shot. The only question is why did it not happen sooner.
    That answer is that they were white folks emboldened and encouraged by 1 of our 2 major political parties.. End of convo.

    Definetly did that at duck camp with my pops (rip) and the fellas. Also played Many a hand of VC for bags of bass assassin's back in the day. Back when I was poor as fuck in college and steel shot was 20$ a box in 90s money or I was playing with my hot hot hand- load shells that shit got high stakes quick.
    Buying back your own shit at a premium the next morning sucked

  10. I'm headed to Santa Teresa next week. Any recs on that area? Flying into Liberia.
    I recommend that you should go there if you are in your 20s/early 30s and like hot fit women.
    Holy shit.

    Argentinian joint in Playa Carmen is great
    Food everywhere has been great

    Town is busy ,but curfew at 9 is pretty strict , shit shuts down promptly
  11. Cool.  I'm going there in a couple of weeks.  Guess I'll find out if the J&J holds up against Delta.
    That sucks man. You did everything right this entire time and got stuck at the J and J special kids table...

    Don't die because I enjoy the hiking updates

  12. Steve McQueen -- Marine.
    origin.jpg
     
    The actor who became known as “The King of Cool” had a rocky time while serving in the Marine Corps. Having joined the Marines in 1947, McQueen was promoted to Private First Class and was demoted back to private seven times, according to AllDay.com. Yes, SEVEN.
    It gets better, via Military.com:
    His rebellious nature came to a head when he let a weekend pass turn into a two week tryst with his girlfriend. Shore patrol apprehended him, but he resisted and spent 41 days in the brig; the first 21 were spent living off of bread and water.
     
    Cooler!

    Edit
    Too slow
  13. Moscow Mitch may be a completely corrupt piece of shit who doesn’t care if he wrecks the country to advance his interests and his corrupt political party, but he’s not a great tactician.  He totally blew this one and left a steaming pile of shit in the house republicans lap and I couldn’t be happier about it. Nancy played Moscow Mitch like a fiddle here. 
    I'm sure Mitch is up fretting ...
