  1. Ukraine has already sacrificed 10s of thousands of their people to destroy one of our greatest advisories. The money we've given them has been a drop in the bucket relative to the amounts we have spent on our military and other armed conflicts over the years. This has been the greatest use of our military budget ever with respect to fighting the enemy. Not to mention no US soldier has died to get to this result. I feel Ukraine has earned every penny we have given them and then some. I'm more than willing to lead reconstruction efforts after the war as a big thanks to the sacrifices they have made to destroy one of the most toxic countries on the planet.
  2. Not sure how accurate that Tactical Analysis is, but 1000 Russian KIA in the last 36 hours is mind blowing.
  3. Not sure it's a winning strategy for his attorney to be arguing that it's not child porn but rather "child erotica". WTF man???
  4. France supplied some bridges earlier this summer.
  5. This was actually super helpful. Very easy to follow and find.
  6. Not at all! Nice to actually be able to put a face to the Surly handle.
  7. I stopped by with the wife and my two boys - ages 8 and 12 before the game. This was their first Texas game. Grabbed a couple of beers and the kids put a dent in the fruit and cookie tray. Did anyone finish the White Claws? Thanks for putting this together!

    Beating Washington in the 4s is going to be tough tomorrow. As long as we can hold on to second there and take the 2 - 8s, we'll be golden.
  12. What'd you expect? He's ass my dude.
  13. Better get that into the shop - looks like the check engine light is on.
  14. Saw in another article that a pack of cigarettes in NZ will run you over $20. Pack-a-day smoker would have to shell out almost 8 grand a year for that, and yet they say that 10% of their population still smokes.
  15. It's day before - not 24 hours. From CDC:
  16. This right here. But Cletus and Jimbo down on the Va-Ky border don't understand nuance. Throw in a little racism fearmongering (CRT) and a large part of the state is a lost cause. I hope you're right but I'm thinking it's going to be within a point or two either way.
  17. It's going to be close and I'm not going to be surprised if Youngkin pulls it out. There's just a different vibe out there this year. Lots of people up here in the suburbs (where Dems have been dominant of late) are still pretty angry and fired up over how the school districts have handled Covid over the last couple of years. Add in some proposed watering down of curriculums that was being pushed earlier this year, it's just not a good situation. I think there are going to be a good number of voters in NoVa that are upset enough with the almost entirely Dem school boards that they will take it out on McAullife. Youngkin has run a pretty smart campaign - staying away form Trumpy issues and focusing mainly on schools. Little bit of crime thrown in along with eliminating the grocery tax. McAullife really fucked up at one of the debates where he said that parents shouldn't be allowed to tell schools what to teach. This soundbite has been all over the airwaves since and is unfortunately very effective - voters just don't get the nuance of what he was trying to say.
  18. ...from Covid.
  19. So I've been following everyone getting tested at Texas cares on this thread and had my mom who lives in Arlington go get tested last week. Backstory - she got her second Pfizer back in Feb at the Convention Center. At the time she was raving about how the local firefighters ran such an efficient operation, quick in and out etc... A few days after her second shot her arm was still really sore, painful to move, loss of motion... She also was telling me that the firefighter gave her the shot pretty high up in her arm. Her arm never fully recovered. Doctor's couldn't really figure anything out - still limited motion after PT. She just attributed it to "frozen shoulder". At this point she's close to getting back to normal. Fast forward to the Texas Cares study. She got her results and had an antibody level of 188. I don't think I've seen a number that low on this thread. She took her results to her doctor today and they now think her second shot didn't make it into her muscle and that could explain the low antibody level. Getting her a booster ASAP. Anyways, up to now she wasn't in any hurry to get a third shot but the Texas Cares Results have made her change her thinking on that thankfully.
  20. Couldn't you always just dispute with the credit card if Ebay doesn't make it right? Seems like a pretty slam dunk case if you were to dispute it.
  21. So for all you guys getting tested for antibodies. Are there testing locations around Arlington/Ft Worth area? My mom would like to get tested but knows nothing about this sort of thing and I live up here in VA so no idea how to go about it.
  22. Alternatively...what if there was a way to buy someone IN to purgatory? How much could we raise to have futureman banned?
  23. It's confusing because in a related NPR written article discussing the interview, they seem to imply that he was specifically referring to full approval - not to emergency use authorization. . I'm still holding out hope for October.
  24. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/24/covid-delta-variant-live-updates/#link-CFOWGQO7HJCP3CM4SOLOEUTT2Q This sucks. They really need to speed up the process to get the younger school-age kids vaxed. Anyone out there got a hook up with a doc that is willing to give my 11 and 7 year olds doses off-label?
  25. Have you guys reached out to main steam media? This is the first instance I've seen where someone has crowdsourced a funding source. You might want to shoot the statesman or espn something showing the plan and compliance office sign off. I would think they would be interested in running something on this.
