    Over the years, our Game Wardens and TXPWD biologists have told us that most "mountain lion" sightings are sightings of bobcats. This is in both Austin and Edwards County.

    My 11-year-old daughter took her first whitetail from our place in Cat Spring (Austin County) this past weekend. 80-85 yard shot with an AR-15 chambered in .223. She has sat in a blind with me, my son, or my father maybe a dozen times over the years, but this was her first time to shoot. We were after does and she took one with a heart shot.

    This is all just testing. Getting BLOWN UP, SIR! in this phase ain't nothin' to worry about.

    Your envy of rich people is weird but entertaining.

    Why not all?

    While I don't think the goal of Vivek or Elon is to maximize their wealth via this DOGE, I also don't care all that much if, in the end, the government spending gets a big haircut.

    It'll be interesting to watch it play out. I've recently listened to several long-form formal interviews or conversations involving Elon and Vivek. I think their concern for the government's financial state is real. Sure, they will play it a certain way in the media, but I expect them to positively affect America's bureaucratic bloat.

    OTOH, a friend of mine has been at Mar-a-Lago since Election Day and says Musk is well received. It's all anecdotal.

    Probably. None has surfaced yet.

    I knew that was you stalking my LinkedIn!

    Shotwell is awesome. As I wrote before, I worked with Spacex for over a decade. No question about who is in charge. It's Musk. That doesn't diminish Shotwell. She performs her role exceptionally. Being #2 at such a large force of a company means she's also in charge....after Elon.

    That's admirable. Good for his family.

    Oh, this line again. (Ad hominem - a fallacy employed by someone with no argument on the topic at hand) What predator did I defend again? And where have I claimed to be holy? Anyway, Spacex is cool and Musk is leading it.

    Flat out amazing.

    It's also a dumb criticism without foundation in reality. I worked closely with Spacex for over a decade. Most of the people I interacted with voiced respect for Musk and Shotwell. They are not worried about the spotlight on him. They are trying to change the world/universe and having a blast doing it. Puns intended. I'm sure some employees don't like leadership/Musk. That happens in every company of this size. Nothing burger.

    If you move the goalposts...

    I've probably defended someone along the way. Especially if I know the truth and others only know out of context stuff and/or rumors. Is defending my friends against lies bad in your book?
  20. jkates
    That's simply not true, but I'm not going to try to change anyone's mind. I have my disagreements with both, and I know both personally, but I'm sure random people on the internet are a better source. Carry on.

    They are father and son, but neither is a piece of shit.

    Pretty boring race today.

    Praying for your friends right now.

    I didn't say he drove perfectly, but he didn't INTENTIONALLY wreck himself and Perez.

    No way Sainz intentionally wrecked them while they were battling for a podium spot on the penultimate lap.
