  1. And instead of learning & growing from the experience and holding anyone accountable, they will instead celebrate the sacrifice of those lost.
  2. Same here, except growing up in NM. We paid for the family plan because the kids wanted to try learning some new languages. I'm diving into Spanish, but my crazy teenage son is deep into Mandarin now.
  3. Why the fuck do I keep seeing advertisements for ATM's law school? And not even for a law degree, just some related shit to support the big money guys/girls. As soon as I hear the music for that stupid thing I'm skipping/changing.
  4. Ugh - thanks for the link. Like the effort, but he knew he fucked up right away...
  5. Can't watch at the moment...Felix's red justified?
  6. RIP. Agreed with the above - he was the original GOAT...
  7. A) your avatar is incredible B) Agreed with Dry Elbows, above. Not sure if this is your first brisket, or just your first on a pellet grill. I like Aaron Franklin's brisket vids on youtube, if you're new to brisket in general. Congrats on the new toy!
  8. Glad to hear the boy is home. My mom was a kid in England when Germany was trying to reduce England to rubble. The juxtaposition of normal life going on with bombs/missiles falling from the sky is insane. Just having heard stories from her, it is ridiculous that we have to convince anyone that this has to be stopped.
  9. As my 2016 Silverado sits at 55k miles, this information does not please me...
  10. I go back to early thoughts (from some), that we needed to treat Putin as a "rational actor", and try to find ways for a peace he would accept. In those early days, many thought Russia's military power was going to overwhelm Ukraine, and we had to somehow do all we could to prevent a human tragedy. We've already failed in that goal. Once it was apparent that the Russian military was not going to just roll over Ukraine, focus shifted to making this crime too expensive to continue - to make the cost/risk not worth the ill-gotten gains for Russia. That hasn't worked either - and continues to cost the lives of Ukraine. It is time for another focus shift. As others have discussed above, Russia's/Putin's end goal has not changed. And the cost does not seem to matter. Whether it is perception, power, people, or natural resources, we are not going to be able to "convince" Russia to change their objective. So now we have to remove their ability to pursue that objective. Accelerate the ongoing destruction of the Russian conventional military force. Remove their capability to invade any more of their neighbors. Send ATACMS. Send more Patriot batteries and more anti-drone systems. Help send more Russian warships to the bottom of the sea. Anything less means (even more) prolonged misery for Ukraine, and a repeat for some other country in a decade or so. I've moved on from "let us be careful not to start WWIII" to "let us make sure Russia can't keep raping it's neighbors".
  11. I feel like this could be the response for all of their screenshots, and a candidate for the title of this whole topic...
  12. Hook 'em!!!
  13. What a glorious fucking day!!
  14. Mostly this: https://www.angrybbq.com/best-dry-rub-for-ribs/, but double the brown sugar and coarse ground pepper (I prefer it over fine). 235 until 160 internal, then wrap and finish at 250.
  15. You guys inspired me on the pork...similar experience as @Butch Had Not: great taste, texture, moisture...would have liked a little darker bark...
  16. Hard to blame him... Hook 'em Bijan!!!
  17. LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hook'em!!!!!!!!!!
  18. I may well have spent the night with Margot Robbie. Not everything is public.
  19. Dad had a '68 LTD boat that I loved as a kid. 390 cubic inch v8 that drank a gallon of gas if you glanced at it sideways. I thought those hide-away headlights were the coolest thing on the planet. If I ever find myself with piles of cash laying around, I'd love to build a custom cruiser version... (representative pic) Mom, at one time, drove what I'd argue is a candidate for this thread...1978 Pacer, in maroon... (also representative pic)
  20. I always use ghee, but may have to give avocado oil a shot next time...
  21. Brisket should always be the answer. Congrats on the new toy!
  22. hell yeah!!!!
  23. Even our ex-, too-old-to-contribute-anymore, players are scoring...
  24. I'd like to take the money for the service I've promised to provide (so I can eventually retire), but I could get in trouble if I actually deliver it, so...yeah. But thanks for the $!
