  1. It's awful. Please don't move here like the entire state of California seems to be. We're full.
  2. Thanks all. Time to update my homework.
  3. So, it's almost football season again, not to mention the Olympics as an early appetizer, so it's time to subscribe to a live TV streaming service again. The past few years I have done YouTube TV from August to January, and antenna plus other streaming subscriptions in between. Almost exclusively used for sports. DVR is nice but not a deal breaker. Should I look at any other options before renewing with YTTV yet again?
  4. T minus one day to Foos and Pretenders in Cincinnati. Four tickets, three going, so we will have elbow room. Stoked.
  5. This is the kind of karma I can get behind! I haven't voted in the poll, bad juju, but I'm expecting a 5-7 type season and fingers crossed all you Nostradomuses (Nostradomi?) are accurate.
  6. Oil export talk STILL not going away...
  7. I plan to drink heavily this Fall.
  8. No more callers, we have a winner.
  9. Man, you guys are spoiled when it comes to Tex-Mex. I haven't lived in the Lone Star State since I graduated college in 1991. Six states throughout the Southeast since then now finds me in Nashville. Chuy's blows pretty much everything Mexican or Tex-Mex around here out of the water. No exaggeration. There is one Uncle Julio's, but that's about it for competition. I miss competition for my Mexican food dollar. If it becomes more Olive Garden-esque, they may get a Molotov cocktail through a window.
  10. The comment under the meme is better than the meme. Nutjobs abound on both sides.
  11. You chose wisely.
  12. Apples and oranges comparisons here. Both of those were close contact, not direct asset protection. Both were likely suicide by cop, heck Saturday's probably was too. In direct asset protection scenarios they tackle the suspect (if possible) and cover the asset ASAP simultaneously.
  13. Can you think of an incident where SS took the first shot? Imagine the shitstorm if the SS sniper fired first and the guy on the roof turned out to be some local LEO who decided he was more 'help' from an elevated position? That would have been an extremely tough shot call for the incident commander to make.
  14. 99% chance this is the case. Whether it's actually true or not, 100% chance this will be the narrative once SS is talking to the media.
  15. Maybe I've been on Surly too much this weekend. As soon as I saw this thread bumped I assumed it would be a joke about DT making a contribution yesterday. Time for a break.
  16. As a former ATL resident, this isn't that much of a stretch.
  17. Is it wrong of me to wish the Trump shooting thread could be in DT and not CR. After reading all that I need a shower.
  18. I'm no munitions expert, but that appears to have not been a small ordinance.
  19. Republican base is galvanized by this happening. Democratic base is less than galvanized by what has been happening. That may flip the traditional turnout results.
  20. I get that, and it paid off, but even he would feel awful if shooter #2 opened up right then and killed or wounded a few of them.
  21. The first time I saw the video I thought (and still think) that Trump pausing for the fist raise photo op was selfish and put his security team in danger. He's not a small dude, so they may have been unwilling or unable to physically overpower him and force him down the stairs without risking injury, but he should get an earful from somebody within Secret Service for that moment. He has had a detail for close to 8 years now, he knows the procedure.
  22. See that sniper's head pop up? I suspect he saw muzzle blast and realized shit just got VERY real.
  23. If this audio is properly synchronized, it looks like the assassin and the SS Counter sniper may have fired almost simultaneously. When the details come out, I wonder if multiple other SS/LEO shooters got off shots and the bad guy only got off one or two. This is surreal video right here. Edit: This might also explain why the guy just grazed his ear from 150 yards, if a bullet was traversing his brain right as he pulled the trigger...
