  1. Why didn’t they put in their running QB?
  2. It would certainly help our position if we fuck up the aggy game.
  3. Is there any reason to believe Ewers won’t play? It was a minor sprain. Gotta assume he plays and he’s 85% as mobile as usual.
  4. Oh, I see this is the prong horn shit posting thread. Fun!
  5. Minivan driver was all, “if that thing kills me, I guess it was my day”
  6. Impressive spree https://www.fox7austin.com/news/multiple-austin-gas-stations-robbed-police-high-speed-chase.amp
  7. I needed a cigar ash tray and needed to donate. Thanks!
  8. I wonder how much of this recent surge in bitcoin is Russian oligarchs fleeing the ruble.
  9. Yeah but if we say enough bullshit up front, in a 2-5 years, when the consequences of todays policies are finally clear, how can we possibly say who is to blame?
  10. Because one of these things can genuinely go to zero.
  11. I mean if this current cycle follows the others, yes, this is the bubble phase. It may go significantly higher before it deflates to something like $75k or even $50k, but then it will slowly claw its way back up. I’d rather have precious metals as a currency hedge than bitcoin on a cold wallet, but it’s easy enough to buy/sell bitcoin in ETF form with simpler taxes than buying and selling BTC itself.
  12. Huh? The one we’re preparing for right now over Taiwan? The one that will occur in Europe if Ukraine falls. You know, the future we can see right in front of us that will be dominated by long range missiles, long range jammer-proof drones, unmanned expendable hardware instead of floating cities. $500 to $50,000 devices that have already rendered tanks and warships obsolete; already been used to overwhelm western air defenses. The most cost effective defense against them is ultimately going to be OTHER drones. $1B carriers, $100M jets, $10M tanks… the drone swarms required to destroy these assets will always cost orders of magnitude less than them making it financially foolish to keep building them. The ones the drones don’t destroy will be pushed so far from the front line that they’re far less effective or totally useless (see Russia’s Air Force, Black Sea fleet).
  13. Yeah the F35 is great at what it designed to do. Fuck Elon but he’s not entirely wrong (blind squirrel, whatever). If the US is going to win the war of the future, it won’t be with $100M manned jets with $50M unmanned wing men jets that all cost a small fortune every single time they’re used. Be real, what’s going to be more effective: a single F35 with a couple wingmen drones (NGAD) or 2,500+ purpose built UAVs? Our obsession with expensive hardware we simply cannot build quickly needs to end ASAP.
  14. Quinn is currently screaming career ceiling: NFL backup. Do you see something more?
  15. Pick your spots bud. You made one probably wild post that got folks hot and bothered and then dug in over it. Sometimes you shoot from the hip, miss, and drill a dog. Just ignore the lady losing her mind over the dog and go about your day. Fuck that dog.
