  1. Check with a doctor. It could be rhabdomyolysis, which can cause kidney damage. I'm not a doctor, don't play one on TV, and didn't stay at Holiday Inn. I did have a coworker get rhabdomyolysis and have a bit of a hard time with it.
  2. When I was in high school (Brenham), our helmets were green with white paw prints on either side. A&M Consolidated, a district foe, had maroon helmets with white paw prints on either side. A few years later both schools got letters from Clemson and stopped using them. I understand protecting marks, but no one is going to confuse a high school in Brenham or College Station, Texas with a university in South Carolina. Work something out, guys.
  3. That is very cool. Imagine tables like this with a great white, Nile crocodile, or alligator. Lots of possibilities.
  4. Fisher should be sending Winston 10% every year. He couldn't be fleecing aggy without Jameis' help.
  5. When we interview for a wastewater operator position we take the applicant for a tour of the plant at the end. We've only had two react like this, one as soon as they stepped out of the door into the plant. Some folks have tender sensibilities. Rotten shrimp shells are at a whole other level of disgusting, though.
  6. They could be used that way, or they could be programmed to hit in slightly different points at the same location. Remember the lines of holes in the bridge near Kherson? Or they could be programmed to hit in a pattern on and around a command post. Lots of possibilities.
  7. My understanding is that the range of HIMARS is much greater than the longest range tube artillery that Russia has, and that Russian rocket artillery with similar range to HIMARS is not nearly as accurate. At the range they are from the Russians, the HIMARS may be able to be out of the impact zone before the return fire is even halfway there. Having two launchers that close together says to me that Ukraine is pretty confident that no effective return fire would be coming.
  8. Ah, ok. I didn't remember it going down that way. Thanks.
  9. Isn't Putin supposed to be at his place in Sochi? I guess that he could have returned to Moscow, but surrounding Moscow without him in it doesn't make sense to me.
  10. Am I the only one who refuses to click on the "Click here if you want to see boobs" thread when they see that the last post was by @Your Mom? Just kills my desire to see boobs. Aw, who am I kidding? I click anyway. I always want to see boobs, and I know that it isn't really my mom.
  11. Not yet. Russia still holds most of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, parts of Zaporizhia and Kherson oblasts, and all of Crimea. Absent a political decision to cease hostilities by Russia and completely leave all of Ukraine, there's lots of fighting left. Zelensky has maintained that this isn't over until all of Ukraine, including Crimea, is free of Russians, so if Russia offers to quit everywhere except Crimea, or the February 24th lines, even such a decision by Russia won't end the fighting.
  12. Top Tweet - Airborne one last time.
  13. I wonder if Miami would be interested in protecting their mark over those shirts? It would be funny for aggyland Outfitters to lose more money than they made on them. It will also be interesting if any of the idoits choose to wear them to Miami next year.
  14. Not quite Yuri Gagarin quality launch, but a good effort.
  15. So, is Putler's Sochi mansion within ATACMS range of any of the freed territory? Russia went after Zelensky repeatedly; turnabout's fair play. Yes, I know that it would trigger a state of war for Russia, with all of the attendant uncertainty. Still, I'd love to see that bastard blown to hell.
  16. Reading the comments, apparently the Russians want to withdraw with their weapons intact. Fuck that. Unconditional surrender or keep getting your shit pushed. Your choice.
  17. What color is the sky in their world? That's just first class delusion.
  18. We've both read A Bridge Too Far, and had just watched a YouTube video about the failure of Market-Garden. It covered the tactical, logistical, and strategic failures well, but we discussed the strategic failures in a little more detail, as she didn't understand the reason that a usually very cautious Montgomery would propose such a risky operation. I am a lucky, lucky man.
  19. Victory has many fathers; defeat is an orphan.
  20. No, I have them right. Part of the reason that Market-Garden failed is that the planning for it assumed that the German Army was collapsing and would not be able to defend the Son-Grave-Nijmegan-Arnhem corridor effectively. This assumption was based on the collapse in France continuing into Holland. It did not, and Germany was reinforcing their forces in Holland. British planners refused to believe that reinforcement was happening, again based on the collapse in France.
  21. I understand the sentiment in both of these, but they also sound like the same lack of respect for the Ukranian forces that got Russia where they are in Ukraine. Easy victories come from knowing your enemy's strengths and weaknesses and assuming that they will use them competently. I first heard this applied to baseball, but it applies in all of life: You are never as good as you think you are when you are winning, and you are never as bad as you think you are when you are losing. That also applies to your enemies.
  22. My wife and I were discussing Operation Market-Garden in WW II last night, and it reminded me that the German Army in France collapsed rapidly, just like the Russian Army has in the Kharkiv region. Many thought that the rout would go all the way to Berlin in short order, but the Germans had other ideas and turned and stiffened at the Rhine. I'm not saying that it's not possible that the Russian collapse will spread across all of Ukraine, but don't be surprised if and when the Russians form up and stabilize a front somewhere. The Ukrainians still have the recipe and ingredients to cook up another breakthrough elsewhere, but it may take more patience.
  23. It's a good thing that Pyle Field is so intimidating. Otherwise Appalachian State might have put a real beat down on aggy.
  24. You are not a very good advertisement for the quality of a Georgia Tech education. I suppose that you would have encouraged England to just surrender to Hitler's Germany in 1940.
  25. I agree. Hiding behind boxes of ammo under fire is not a good idea. At least the coffins are handy for the Ukrainians to bury the Russian bodies.
