Bought 8 seats for game 1......Then a message pops up and says my credit card info was invalid even though the charge had already gone through to Chase. Double checked and the Astros charged my card twice and then canceled both transactions. Fucking bullshit

It feels like it

Damn...He might be the coolest Stone.

This may have already been posted but if not I would highly recommend this doc. It highlights everything wrong with what was happening in Afghanistan militarily, police, and infrastructure wise. Local corruption, heroine addicted soldiers, child sex abuse, kidnapping, etc. The marine interviewed gets very candid about the situation and apparently a follow up interview is now being set up. Worth a watch -

Is Massoud the son of the Mujahadeen Massoud from the 80's?

Reading the numbers of the Afghan army were greatly inflated and it was confirmed by an inspector generals report. As Afghan army routed, officials say Pentagon vastly overestimated its power | The Times of Israel And barely 60% of the Afghan army troops were trained fighters, the West Point analysts said. A more accurate estimate of the army’s fighting strength — once the 8,000 air force personnel are taken out of the equation — is 96,000, they concluded.

Not always a big Vice fan but they still do some solid stuff. Good watch -

That Hat store usually has some inventory in stock.

I just realized you said you trained in Brazil...That's incredible

He was a brown belt I think in 2019-2020 and got the black sometime in the last year. I may be wrong on those dates. I haven't gone to a Gracie gym yet but I do know the Gracie students that visit our gym tend to have a tough time finishing the class. He does focus on a lot of fitness and cardio before drilling and from what the Gracie people have said they don't do that in a regular class. Like I said, I don't know that to be a fact it's just what the 2 people that have come in have said so I'll take that with a grain of salt. If you get a chance Rogan had on a guy named Todd White who I guess is famous and also trains BJJ. Great listen and they talk about the early days of finding schools. Below is a small sample of the podcast and also a clip I found of the instructor at Stillwater. Todd White on Finding Jiu Jitsu in 1993 - Bing video

A place in Alvin called Still Waters. It was between this place and a Gracie Barra gym in Webster but Still Waters class times fit my schedule a little better. The only thing that's frustrating right now is due to the fact it's a smaller gym we don't get a lot of new people so converting the skills I learn in drills over to live training can be tough since everyone has more experience then I do but it's a fun challenge so far.
