  1. Did you know that hippos CAN'T swim? They just run and jump along the bottom when they're in water.
    (Damn - someone beat me to it)
    So if make it to deep water without getting eaten, I can float on my back and taunt them?

    Yeah you first, buddy.

  2. Half of Americans age 16-74 read at a 6th grade level or below.   Which means a shit ton of them can't think critically.
    https://map.barbarabush.org/#:~:text=What does adult literacy look like in your state%3F,of a sixth-grade level.
    130 million Americans—54% of adults between the ages of 16 and 74 years old—lack proficiency in literacy, essentially reading below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.
     
     
    Meaning:  We're fucked.
    My brother has a Masters from Aggy and a great job; he should retire by 55 with plenty of money.

    He sent me a highlighted copy of Art of the Deal. Had a Maga hat in 2016. He's " not into politics now". Still, It Bottles the mind.
  3. except for the attempted thanksgiving or christmas trip there, we generally wait until jan and feb. seems like most get their game on around the stocking times but the fishing gets a lot better imo 4-8 weeks after. it also slows down, not a ton but enough. this year I'm taking my boys twice (I'll kayak maybe). then taking colleagues who I'm trying to hook into the hobby. doubt it will be successful but they enjoy it when they are out there.
    That's what I understand as well. I may go again before Jan and throw streamers only, there are always bass to be had anyway.
    It's a fun puzzle to try and cipher and you can't really lose...

  5. 1930s Germany had no real economic power and actually very little military power. Our version of nazism is going to be wild.
    Yeah it's going to turn out that us having more military spending than the next 5 countries was a bad idea when we are a country of idiots electing fascist. Shits going to get real when we go full retard in the parlance of a not so distant time. Its a frightening thought. But my Turkey prices!
  6. I've been listening to bits and pieces of Jeff Ward's show (and the Jeff & Ed show) over the last month.
    Jeff has gotten stupid.  His views on the college football playoff at this point are remarkably ignorant.  Maybe the last divorce scrambled his brain, but he is as obnoxious as ever yet almost never makes a salient point.
    Agreed, he comes across as a bitter, hyperbolic old man.

    And they can't help but meander into politics and really show how dumb they are. Cringy.
  7. Guad Report. Fished Friday. Caught a few nymphing very early then it got very slow. Only saw a couple holdover fish I kinda know the rest of the day. Very slow. No idea where the new stockers are. Buddy broke off a big fish that he was not ready to tangle with. Gear sucked, sticky drag etc.

    After 9 am saw no one catching and only saw maybe 5 fish until quitting at 3. Those fish missed a streamer or, with a nice one, had a streamer yanked away when I strip striked Before it ate.

    Moderate traffic. Amount of floating Cypress leaves is annoying as fuck. Nobody was catching much. My slowest day to date.

    Heard a theory that new stockers cause a spawn and they stop feeding.

    Second and final TU stock is Friday if anyone wants to help. Please avoid fishing until Sunday so they can recuperate.

    Otherwise, no fish on that river, it's terrible, stay home!

  8. Wife (no pics you pervy bastards) wants a new kitchen sink for Christmas and I'm happy to oblige.  Who would you normally hire to remove and replace a (likely) undermount kitchen sink?  I'm also looking to see if there's any room to expand the cutout (hence hiring it out).
     
    Second question...where would you go to shop for the one bowl sinks?  Just your standard big box?
    Hire a counter top guy so you don't fuck your existing countertops. It requires special polishing pads and precision. And a plumber if you aren't up for correcting the new drain.

    Big boxes have fairly limited selection. Check out Build.com or in person at Fergusons.

  9. Virgin Atlantic flew a 787 across the Atlantic using a fuel made solely from animal fats, and it could cut jet emissions by 70%. Vegans are going to lose their collective shit if this becomes a regular deal, and I’m more than ok with that.
    What about the emissions from raising the animals?
  10. A transam cost $6699 in 1979.  Obviously 1979 dollars are different than 2023 dollars, but man that’s not a lot for one of the premier recruits in that class.
     
    By the way, with the 400 V8 in it, it only generated 220 hp. My current F150 has double that. 

    If Dickerson wanted to get a replica today, it’d set him back around 50k. 
     
     
    Yeah but it came with a stick ti beat back the horny women's mobbing your ass.
