  2. Now, with AI, you can have all of your strongly worded messages directly sent to delete.
  3. I have a former employer who has a 10 bedroom place in Aspen he bought about 25 years ago. Two years ago he put in AC mini splits. He said in 20 years, he never needed AC and then there were several heat waves in the mid high 90s that made him have to put AC in a home where AC was not anticipated or designed for
  4. it’s like that guy who failed with Steve Scalise- I keep harping about the importance of range time.
  5. “ Windage and elevation….”
  6. “Not when Dow Chemical sells it - then it’s a really expensive secret thing…”
  7. I still call MK-77 napalm, but the guy in the trench may not care about the technicality.
  8. As it seems like 70-80% of the radar and AD facilities taken out lately are either in or near Crimea, it does seem like they are softening the area up for some major sorties. I know I may be in the minority here, but I like the idea of large trenches filled to the brim with Russians saying “hi” to F-16s carrying napalm. if you don’t wanna die a horrible death by fire then don’t go to Ukraine and kill and rape the locals and bomb children’s hospitals. Your choice. I would limit napalm use to Ukrainian territory, with a clear message being if you go home, you’ll live, if you stay here, you’ll fry.
  9. “Ground control to Major Tomski…” ”…. later we’ll provide you protein pills so keep your plastic helmet on….”
  10. I have always found an interesting that we bag on Russians for not demanding that their elected leaders not be total shit-stains, but that same response seemingly doesn’t apply to our own glasshouses
  11. Truly, an incredible performance from 54 years ago. I thought the lyrics were pretty appropriate for Texas today.
  12. 32% on a Lada car loan. Sounds reasonable. it would probably cost more if it still had airbags.
  13. Can someone post a link to those two Russian bloggers that were posted many times a year or so ago. It was the saga of them trying to escape Russia, getting out and trying to survive as expats I think one went to Georgia but I can’t remember. Is there such a thing as a friction power generator? Does Austin’s mom have a passport?
  14. Do we get the nice thing? Do we touch ourselves? I think you have your answer.
  15. Governor Huckabeast might do that too. And yet, I intend to die never having seen it.
  16. cosign everything everything you say. The moccasin below has some face striping as well. This guy also has The brown mask that comes close to covering his eye, which Nerodia won’t have. I thought the original picture we were looking at had that brown mask but it doesn’t look so pronounced Unless I can see a pit between his nostril and eye it is difficult to tell. and I sure don’t wanna get close enough to see the cottonmouth’s vertical cat eye pupil versus the round watersnake one. The original snake picture is a great lesson not to get too close until you are really sure what the heck it is. But looking at it closer, I think I would fall off the fence on Nerodia. I just wish I could see how skinny his neck is - and if I could see the top of his head from above, if I could see his eyes.
  17. We are apparently twinsies. I was a Scout of Troop 703 in Wichita, Kansas back in the day and that was our summer hang out. I do not remember racers. I do remember thunderstorms and funnel clouds.
