  1. Now, can someone explain what the fuck this means?
  2. Can someone explain the difference between damage done by wind speed and that done by mb atmospheric pressure?
  3. In addition to typical social safety nets (SS, Universal HC, Maternity and Paternity leave), in Texas they made it pretty much legal to not give out door water breaks to to employees UPS drivers don't get AC in their vans. These are thing union have to fight for here that Western European countries don't have to worry about. They have a lot more room to maneuver for the good of their employees than Americans do
  4. Why don't all the teams playing Wyoming say they have a trans person on their team. Pick up the easy win and move on.....
  5. yeah. seems like a bunch of tackles should have been near the LOS and wind up getting 5 yards. Like watching a Cowboys game
  6. My Father in Law only had girls. And I was the first serious adult-ish (I mean Im still here), And we hit if off really well from the beginning. I took him to lunch around 7th month of dating, which wasn't too unusual, he and I would grab lunch about once a month. I asked if I could marry his daughter and he was kinda thinking "yeah sure sometime in the future we should maybe talk about that." Then I showed him the ring. The look on his face, when he figured out I was serious, was one of the best memories I have.
  7. I wonder if our kids in their 20's will ever know how much even a brief visit to dad is. A couple of weeks ago my 27 yo (who has a kid, so first Grandkid for me) said "You know, I don't see you as often, but I think of you more often than I used to." I think that was pretty accurate for me and my Dad around that age. Also, My 5 yo girl was sitting at the island in the kitchen with her tablet. Mom had her covid/flu shots and passed out. Turned on something about LBJ, and they played the UT Fight Song in one of the scenes. Out of the corner of my eye, she was still watching her tablet but with her hand in the Hook Em Sign.
  8. I think it is (maybe was) a fun movie to watch. I think it now falls into the category (like Pearl Harbor, Last Samurai, ect), that people on this site just dismiss it since so historically inaccurate. That's probably why movies and tv shows like Band of Brothers and We Were Soldiers are popular on this thread because they are as close as possible to historically correct while being entertaining. In other words, we're history snobs
  9. I too enjoy a two point conversion that is thrown to the 1 yard line...
  10. Guess we at the part of the game where the opponent plays prevent and Dak gets numbers that make him look good
  11. It's amazing how far I've come from being a die hard watch every play fan to, it's back ground noise while I do something else
  12. your right. We watched Pearl Harbor, the new Midway Movie and, Men of Honor, and The Guardian. Pretty sure there were more
  13. We spent a week watching "navy" movies Started with: Master and Commander Then went with U-571 Hunt for Red October Crimson Tide Greyhound Seems like there were a couple others Finished with Down Periscope
  14. YES! Watched it twice already. Trying to think of any other movies that have come out since 2019
  15. I love the fact that I thought about making this thread and there already was one. I want to add: Darkest Hour Dunkirk
  16. "It's 11:00 in the morning. And OU still sucks... But Hezbollah blows!!!"
  17. Every year this team looks unstoppable, then looks like the Varsity Blues team after the strip club night. Only we don't get to watch "Hot for Teacher" or whip cream bikini scenes
  18. If it's all four of us (me, wife and 2 kids) we always take my truck for the room. If it is just us or maybe one kid we take her car because it gets twice the gas mileage.
  19. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/russias-ethnic-minorities-disproportionately-conscripted-to-fight-the-war-in-ukraine I understand the need to kill any Russian soldier they can. I'm not a fan of hitting civilians in Moscow. But, I may be wrong and probably am, but I have more empathy for the ethnic minorities than I do the civilians in Moscow. Moscow citizens remind me too much of the elites in Germany who knew what was happening turned a blind eye to the Holocaust. I think Putin is purposely using the certain groups as meatgrinder soldiers to effectively ethnic cleanse larger parts of Russia
  20. Without reading the indictments, could someone tell me or explain which laws were actually broken?
  21. Put it another way. If you only watched highlight videos for football on TexAgs, you would probably think they've won a NC more recently than 30 years before Pringles were invented. Videos can be just as easily cast into a certain point a view as any other medium.
  22. When the game is advertised as starting at 7:20, would be great if it started near that time.....
