  1. Shows you how often I go there. Fuck that place. Overpriced ammo and jerky.
  2. It is very real. Peruvians (mainly Lima) say they speak Castillian. Ex- MIL (Dominican) was one of those. She would iron her hair to remove any crinkles. Called any hair not straight "bad hair." my daughter with her bad ass curls brought shame to the family. It was illegal in El Salvador until the late 1970's to enter the country if you were black. Exception made for Brazilians who could play soccer. This is still very real.
  3. Why do they all look like they bought their sunglasses at Bass Pro company?
  4. Yeah, probably he does. His dislike for USAID is interesting. Back to assistance. I noted earlier to watch the pivot in aid to be channeled through the church groups. Sounds good on paper I guess, until you see how they work in the field. CARITAS, World Vision, etc. run like corporations including nice R&R, salaries (WV was amazing to consult for) and such. I was in line for a field gig with one of them. During the interview I was asked if I was married. I said no, divorced. "Did I have a GF." Yes I said. "Did we fornicate," the recruiter asked. Yes I said. Silence. "Oh, we will have to look into your background to make sure you fit the moral requirements." I laughed, ended up consulting for them instead. All I will say is it was borderline lawyer pay. I lasted 4 months before being told I did not fit. Rationale? we had a deadline and I mentioned we were going to miss it if the entire US based team went on the retreat vs. finishing the project.
  5. tree fifty in credits.
  6. Round up. Profit.
  7. Betty in purchasing can explain it to you. Corporate America loves Dell.
  8. but of course they will round up.
  9. Make them into pendants and sell them as pieces of Americana.
  10. I like cats. But they don't belong in a bar/cafe. Nor does your obnoxious puppy or rottweiler. Next time I hear "can you watch my dog" going to say sure, then leave with it.
  11. People who say bye by waving both arms. Oh, and stop carrying your cat around in a backpack.
  12. Let it go. He is reliving his Stalin dreams while on a ketamine high.
  13. Yep, covid is making a run hard through my town. And no one gives a fuck. Cool, ya got covid? Meet me at the bar and lets catch a game. I will get you a hot toddy.
  14. Efficiency. Tens of thousands of tons of food purchased through a federal program to feed hungry people overseas is stuck at a warehouse in Houston's port after President Donald Trump ordered a 90-day pause on foreign aid, according to an email from an international food agency and an employee with the U.S. Agency for International Development. The pause comes as the Trump administration moves to dismantle USAID, one of the world's largest government aid organizations. The organization spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year through its Food for Peace program to distribute surplus crops from American farmers around the globe, according to the Congressional Research Service. The food stuck in Houston totaled more than 31,000 tons and was part of more than 500,000 tons of food valued at $450 million now at risk of going to waste, according to the email from the international agency, which was reviewed by Hearst Newspapers. USAID food shipments are also being held up at seven other U.S. ports, including Boston, New York and Miami. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/article/usaid-trump-houston-port-20152041.php
  15. I can live with 4 lights. Fuck the idiots who run their roof fog lights on the highway. I just automatically put them in the Cajun Swamp ass category.
  16. It is not how many, it is who that matters. No one in the US cares what illiterate mongolians think. The impoverished masses making up most of that 8B are not decision makers. Shit most don't know what twitter is if they even have a phone. Twitter is western oriented. TikTok was, now we love it. Twitter allows for targeted messaging.
  17. I approve the naming.
  18. About those South Africans Trump says can come. They said nope. On Saturday, two of the most prominent groups representing Afrikaners said they would not be taking up Trump’s offer of resettlement in the U.S. “Our members work here, and want to stay here, and they are going to stay here,” said Dirk Hermann, chief executive of the Afrikaner trade union Solidarity, which says it represents around 2 million people. “We are committed to build a future here. We are not going anywhere.” At the same press conference, Kallie Kriel, the CEO of the Afrikaner lobby group AfriForum, said: “We have to state categorically: We don’t want to move elsewhere.” Trump’s move to sanction South Africa, a key U.S. trading partner in Africa, came after he and his South African-born adviser Elon Musk have accused its Black leadership of having an anti-white stance. But the portrayal of Afrikaners as a downtrodden group that needed to be saved would surprise most South Africans. “It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the U.S. for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged,” South Africa’s Foreign Ministry said. It also criticized the Trump administration’s own policies, saying the focus on Afrikaners came “while vulnerable people in the U.S. from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship.” https://apnews.com/article/trump-south-africa-afrikaners-0120efec17122b47e3371e0e39fe1db8
  19. Adding a small little collection of trees around the garden. Will be in containers for few years then plant at my FiL's place. I don't expect much fruit if any, but the flowers alone on each make it worth it. Dad, wife and the two kids each picked their favorite fruiting tree. Already found the Santa Rosa plum.
  20. They opened for demonic consigliere right?
  21. I loved my ASUS 17 inch laptop. It was a beast. I have hated every dell I have worked on. Cheap plastic, feel flimsy, etc.
  22. Demon hobbit porn not going away. You all should meet up at the Rock store near campus and start a book club. This thread is for Leopards eating faces. Remember the Afghan dude I mentioned during the election? First time to vote, well he went trump. His brother's application to study in the US is "halted" and the kid is stuck in Pakistan.
  23. Anyone remember Election Dejection? Written in 1999. Had some good one liners, but doubt it got out of Austin much. I have searched for it and nada. Had a copy of it about 15 hard drives ago.
  24. Again, you never tell us what type of indians. It is important for us to know to determine our actions. or
