  1. I'm on this side of the argument. When we are in my 4 door car, it doesn't really matter. But in my work van, it's a complete blind spot backing out in some cases, especially parking garages. I don't even like backing it out of my driveway and I'm on a slight hill so I have a very good view of street traffic.
  2. You don't want to use the flamingos yet You grind down their oil infrastructure. You make them use whatever supplies and equipment they have left. While stockpiling flamingos. Then you wait until December and hit everything left hard right before the coldest part of the year in Moscow. That's how you create a massive shortfall in heating and electricity in Moscow and st Petersburg rather than it being spread out to the "poor" parts of russia
  3. South Korea be like Wait you want to pay us for oil so you can ship north Korean soldiers to the front lines where they will die from drones with chips and parts we made that Ukraine and EU buy from us????
  4. Turning Point in my opinions: Logistics win Wars Military Knowledge : As Russia looses officers and NCO's, they are being replaced by even more sycophantic military leaders. Virtually every dictators downfall in a major war was because the Dictator chases the glamor rather than the actual victory. Compare that to Ukraine, as they replace military leaders, they are being trained heavily in the logistical side of warfare. Civilian Knowledge : Russia successfully exported its most intelligent civilians at the beginning of the war. And then sent their replacements to the front lines to die. Ukraine has imported intelligence. You can tell by their sophistication of drone and aerial warfare. Logistics win Wars. One country is is using it's civilian and military knowledge to attack refineries, factories, and transportation hubs. The other is attacking apartments.
  5. A walmart buggy being taken down the center of an aisle with 12 members of the family walking 0.5 mph
  6. On the flip side, nothing sucks more that sitting inside with AC going and it raining outside and you think it's really nice. Then realize you're in Texas and despite the overcast and rain it's still somehow 96 degrees outside...
  7. Don't overestimate my standards.
  8. Pics of Sis? I'm still looking for something for my drive between Dallas and Houston
  9. It's a lot more than a pet peeve of mine. I need receipts for gas about 3-4 a week. I'm going to start parking like this.
  10. This reply was better than mine. Can you put the link for the Constatine Videos? I'm sure its somewhere on this thread but I'm pretty lazy.
  11. These are both true. However, probably the largest reason for the banking deficit has more to do with them not having money to deposit. X customer withdraws $100, but if there is no customer Y to deposit money, you create negative balance. I think this could be a combination of a Depression era bank run combined with with the Consumer Debt recession of 2007. I'm okay with that.
  12. Explains TexAgs
  13. I guess I could add that overnight tent camping to my list. Preferably somewhere that I can take my dog. But I don't really want to stay in a hotel or anything.
  14. Oh I can definitely make it there and back without any problems. I regularly have to drive to San Angelo, Amarillo, and Lubbock. But a couple of years ago, I realized that I didn't need to rush. I've lived in Texas virtually my whole life and haven't really spent much time seeing Texas rather than driving from point A to point B and back. Last time I was in San Angelo, I detoured on my way back to go through Brownwood - which is kinda mine and @Knoxtnhorn home town. Next time I'm in Amarillo, I'm going to take a couple of extra days and visit Palo Duro Canyon. Want to do the same thing on this Drive, but apparently the State Prison Museum in the lone highlight of this drive....
  15. Well... This maybe the most accurate thread on Surly. There is not a god damn thing. Unless I stop and the Prison Museum. @Iceman Thanks for the heads up on the rest area. I think from now on, I'll just bring my dog and a couple of sandwiches and stop there. If anyone else knows a good park or something, I would like to stop and do a 2-3 mile run somewhere when the weather is nice.
  16. Left over brisket. And random stuff I found = high class trash nachos
  17. 2" - 2 Feet - 287 Feet I mean any of them will get rid of Florida right?
  18. Didn't really know where to put this. My son (12yo) is been really getting into hot sauce. So for his birthday I bought him a bunch of different bottles. The traditional stuff, like Cholula, Tobasco, Valentines, ect. plus a few ones that looked unique. Couple of nights ago, he pulled out a bag of Flammin' Hot Cheetos and covered it was some of the hot sauces. Next morning him : "Why is my asshole of fire???"
  19. Today Me: (trying to plan ahead so I can spend Saturday watching football) what time is my mom getting 7yo daughter (no pics sickos) Her :7 yo really wants me to go with her to the party, if I can talk her out of it she'll go in the morning but if not I'll take her to the party and your mom can meet me there and take her home Me : while I'm sure that was an answer to some question by someone at some point. That really doesn't help know anything about what the actual plans are.
  20. It's almost like some Nazi engineers were able to resettle in Houston/Downey, CA/ Cape Carnevale and avoid prosecution....Weird
  21. The thing that bugs me the most is when I see a pick up truck in the left hand lane. I can't tell you exactly why that bugs me more than any other vehicle. I think subconsciously, think that if you drive an F150 or something similar, you should either know the curtesy rules or you really don't need a pick up, you just have a small penis
  22. 6 drinks a week. Yeah, That's what I meant
  23. Well.... I guess hello football season....
  24. I started doing this about a year ago. Also, if anyone is wondering who the lady walking down the very center of the aisle at HEB very slowly while stopping repeatedly to check prices. It's my wife. I've given up. We don't go to the grocery store together anymore
