  1. It's HIMARS o'clock, and Russia still sucks.
  2. It's the money. This is Texas, where only fossil fuels are acceptable to "right minded people". Anything else threatens their income, whether from their jobs or leases.
  3. This. The rolling stock is always the priority. Track is easy to repair. Bridges can be rebuilt with more difficulty, but still not too hard to repair or replace. But rolling stock, especially locomotives, take time and resources to rebuild and get to where they are needed. Replacing stock also competes directly with replacing armor and transport trucks for resources. Set up a choke point at the bridge, shut it down with a missile strike, then rain missiles and artillery on the backed up trains and the personnel trying to unfuck the situation.
  4. Ten days in and I feel good in general, but I'm tired all the time, and moving around even a little bit, like watering trees, exhausts me. You Covid veterans, please tell me that the fatigue goes away. Ironically enough, I got a text for my fourth Texas Cares blood draw the same day I tested positive. I'll go by there next Monday or Tuesday.
  5. I like to think it does, but others may disagree.
  6. I work at a wastewater treatment plant. If you get any of our product, it is indirectly, and has been further treated by others to meet safe drinking water standards.
  7. I overheard two coworkers completely seriously discussing how China is inflicting this heatwave on the world. They don't know how they Chicoms are doing it, but they are absolutely convinced that the evil Chinese are to blame. Idiots.
  8. Don't flush those goddamn wipes! They do not belong in a sewer system.
  9. That sounds hellish, indeed. Hopefully it will not happen again.
  10. Congratulations, Vic. I wish many happy years for you and your bride. I also await your additions in the wive's thread.
  11. Another turdlick cop. Disgusted, but not surprised.
  12. Dick Hickey. What a way to let the world know that your wife really can suck a golf ball up a garden hose. Between that and the reward, widow Hickey must have been popular with the gentlemen.
  13. I rag on cops, but that one kept his cool, did his job, and left, all while having to listen to that. Have a good day, officer. Can you imagine being that asshole's neighbor?
  14. Someone is going to call them, bet on it. When they arrive, guarantee that their first action will be to protect their turf. They did at Uvalde by detaining the one woman and pushing the agry citizens back. Cops cannot abide competition or outside direction. This could work.
  15. The cops would react more strongly to the response team than to the shooter. Cops cannot tolerate the thought of someone cutting in on their territory, especially if they might show up the cops.
  16. Our boilerplate contract for construction projects includes a requirement that all text in all documents must be in searchable pdf format. We have had contractors and engineers convert searchable documents to photocopy pdf documents, then submit that because they are confused on the concept. How is that hard to understand? We need a usable document, not a picture of one.
  17. That is beautiful. What great memories to share with your son.
  18. Lucky! I didn't even get the scent of rain. Well, that was because of the Covid. My wife smelled rain, but we got none. Folks a quarter mile away did, but not us.
  19. There's not enough money in the world to get me up there, let alone carrying that beam across that flimsy scaffolding. Nope. No damn way.
  20. Our HR didn't appreciate me expressing my relief that the discipline training didn't include whips, chains, gags, handcuffs, etc. With the women in HR, you never know.
  21. I got my mom's 1970 Ford Galaxie 500 station wagon up to 103 mph on a Farm to Market road near Brenham about a month after getting my driver's license. It could have done more, but the front end was feeling wobbly, so I backed down. My three younger brothers and the son of my mom's best friend were in the car, and were duly sworn to secrecy. We dropped the friend off, then headed home. As soon as we walked in the door I could see by my mother's face that the friend had ratted me out, and his mom had called my mom. Before she could say a word one of my brothers yells, "Mama, your car can go 100 mph! Isn't that cool?" No. No, it was not cool. I lost my license for three months. I couldn't drive to and from two-a-days, and it was seven miles one way from home to the school, so my oldest little brother and I got dropped off in the morning, went to the morning practice, stayed in town all day, went to the second practice, then walked seven miles home in the evening. It was brutal, but the lesson was learned. I never drove the friend anywhere again, and had to be forced to drive the loudmouth brother anywhere. Snitches.
  22. Smell, yes. I don't taste it.
  23. Aha! So she's right; you haven't checked the fuel level.
  24. Hopefully that telecommunications equipment contains location tracking for when it is inevitably transferred to the military.
