  1. Buddy called from in between Gainesville and Tallahassee. Has about 10 acres. Already a few pines down.
  2. You saw my ride. 98 Cherokee. Runs like a beast. And I could strap MIA on the roof if need be. What brand charger?
  3. Does it come with a jump seat for @MissingInAction? And I don't see any Longhorns on it. I think that is just a box you put over your Tesla. (I know you don't drive one, that was more aimed at those who do.)
  4. State Department announcement. United States Announces $5.55 Billion New Military Assistance for Ukraine Press Statement September 26, 2024 Today, as part of the surge of assistance that President Biden directed ahead of his meeting with President Zelenskyy, the Department notified Congress of the intent to direct the drawdown of up to approximately $5.55 billion in defense articles and services from DoD stocks for military assistance to Ukraine under Presidential Drawdown Authority. This drawdown utilizes the remaining authority of the Presidential Drawdown Authority under section 506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance for fiscal year 2024 provided by the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, which will expire on September 30, 2024. We are taking this step to ensure this Authority does not expire and the United States can fully utilize the funding appropriated by Congress. By doing so, the United States will be able to continue to provide a surge in defense articles and services to Ukraine from DoD stocks under planned drawdowns in the weeks and months ahead. These drawdowns have been made possible by strong bipartisan support from Congress. The United States is committed to supporting the Ukrainian military with the equipment they need to strengthen their position on the battlefield, defend their territory and people from the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, and prevail in this war to secure a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace. As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine.
  5. Read the article. Proof Russia sucks at navy things. Scandinavian authorities, including those in Norway and Denmark, have denied entry to the MV Ruby following significant damage to its hull and rudder sustained when the vessel ran aground shortly after departing the port of Kandalaksha, Russia. Also, heading to Malta but only if it unloads? Where is it going to unload? Imagine that fucker going boom in the Straits of Gibraltar. Um, yeah, that could impact global trade.
  6. Interesting thought. But there is always a way around doctrine. So you fund a proxy who then funds a proxy.
  7. Here ya go. I am going to send her your number.
  8. They do a good job. The FEMA office in Atlanta already has scenarios for response and focus areas ready to go. Though the private groups are welcome, they get in the way sometimes. They are better coming in 7-10 days after, but then it is not in the news. During the Bastrop Fire (#1) insurance companies took over a parking lot at a cross roads. caused a massive back up in traffic there right on 71 when people were trying to get out and assistance coming in HEB pulled in and did they good thing. Not only food, but they came in with laundry trucks. They coordinated with the State and Locals and went where told. The Church groups fucked lots of things up. And interesting they did not want goods, they wanted cash. So ended up with storage units full of shit and they bought property.
  9. Tell that to the soccer mom getting her pumpkin latte.
  10. New Nuke doctrine in the making. Vladimir Putin says Russia would consider an attack from a non-nuclear state that was backed by a nuclear-armed one to be a "joint attack", in what could be construed as a threat to use nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine. In key remarks on Wednesday night, the Russian president said his government was considering changing the rules and preconditions around which Russia would use its nuclear arsenal. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yjej0rvw0o
  11. Do you have your patagonia vest ready?
  12. What a whiny little bitch. Last line. "Let me say what I want and maybe I will give you some money." The world's richest person, Elon Musk, has hit back after not being invited to the UK government's International Investment Summit. He was not invited due to his social media posts during last month’s riots, the BBC understands. "I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts," Mr Musk claimed on X. Earlier this month, the government released some prisoners to reduce prison overcrowding, but no people serving sentences for sex offences were included. Following disorder and rioting across the UK in August, some people were jailed for encouraging unrest on social media. Violence spread across the country after a stabbing attack in Southport, in which three children attending a dance class were killed. At the time, Mr Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, predicting civil war in the UK and repeatedly attacking the prime minister. The summit in October is the key moment that PM Sir Keir Starmer hopes will attract tens of billions of pounds in inward funding for business from the world’s biggest investors. Mr Musk was invited to last year's event but did not attend. However, he took a starring role in November's AI Summit, including a fireside chat with then-PM Rishi Sunak. The government declined to comment on the tech entrepreneur not being invited to the summit and the billionaire's backlash to the decision. But Jeremy Hunt, the former Conservative chancellor and now the shadow chancellor, told the BBC it was a "big loss" not to have Mr Musk at the summit. "He told me last year he was planning a new car plant in Europe and had not decided where but the UK was a candidate," Mr Hunt claimed. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c756d56d2dro
  13. Meh, fuck argentina. I will be nice when the world realizes their regime was just as bad, if not worse, than Pinochet. That is saying something.
  14. Yep. One of the clients I support is moving their FEMA support team to Georgia tonight. I know we joke about FEMA, but the first groups in, those who direct what is really needed, do a pretty good job. I am pissed since I used to have that job and only got to deploy a few times. I asked if I could go, but nope, contract does not start until the first. This storm is going to be a beast and the turn left adds another issue. Lot of water going into the river basins.
  15. Nah, they are cool. But the Falklands.... That is where their rebirth shall begin. Like holding madagascar with 5 armies in Risk. You know you can make the counter attack and take back the map if you can hold onto it. Just never think Ukraine is weak.
  16. Buddy just finished redoing his 10 acre farm and converted the horse barn. He is fucked.
  17. Damn man, I am not included in the B&B group? Guess I need to up my game. And to think, we were going to go get beers.
  18. If it happens will be south of Austin. Kyle/San Marcos. East of I35 probably along 21. It can be X Stadium, sponsored by Tesla. Call it the Austin Ego's after the main sponsor.
  19. Herat? Helsinki? Hong Kong? At least we can look up zip codes.
  20. Sucks, it is real hard. My ex-wife and me were both Juniors at UT when my son was born. Fuck having football practice. Just class for both of us and working weekends kicked my ass. I searched for his Go fund me, did not find it.
