  1. Well he is South African and would see it as a way to reduce payment to his workers. Also, how does he always happen to find these hot takes? He have a staff searching for shit he can respond to?
  2. The Great Game was mainly the Brits. We were busy conquering the West and getting ready for the Civil War.
  3. Whereas Argentina is a BRICS nation, not sure this President really is.
  4. Yep. Another system I used and liked, just not in the US, are underground cisterns for each house. The water is not potable and if the power goes out you have none unless you drop a bucket. Wonder if these could be installed in backyards here for just simple uses. Toilet and plants. They basically become a rainwater supported well.
  5. Yep, that has always been my experience. I helped my dad install the system you described for his gardens in New Mexico. Worked quite well.
  6. Wish we could defund Musk's companies. And if he takes them out of US I am sure it violates industrial security.
  7. And saw a short mention of another arrested in Poland scoping out the base used for the movement of aid.
  8. So lets just kick their ass in their Soviet era looking stadium.
  9. Dude is smart, but in academics. I have seen quite a few people do that. They think job hunting is easy.
  10. One relatively inexpensive option is rain water collection for homes. Fuck lawns. We are not South Carolina or Kentucky. @troph you have a collection system correct? Have seen a few very nice systems. Collection tanks with automatic drip systems for small lawn areas. Roots work folks. I collect in buckets. Amazing how much water I can collect just off the back patio roof. I have heard this is illegal in some areas. My father's HOA does not allow it on homes. Why? It is going to replenish, just at a different rate and reduces rapid run off from big rains.
  11. I plant a lot of natives and sunflowers. Love working on the back patio in the mornings hearing them. Add to that the butterflies that seems to always be in the yard. I do have a 20 gallon water feature, shaded by potted mandarin trees. I keep that for them to be honest. And when we are dry, they appreciate it. Cannot remember last time I washed my car. Wife washes hers about once a month but she works in marshes and bugs do fuck it up.
  12. Buddy from school is an engineer focused on green energy. Has his Masters from LBJ/ILAS. Smart dude in school. Wife was tired of him traveling, convinced him to go work at the Tesla plant. So he applies, they tell him he is in, he quits. Gets a call saying well we are not sure when you will be onboarding. So he is properly fucked. Sick kid, no insurance, and no income.
  13. When they announced the plant was going into Del Valle I sat back and thought. Well shit, few of the people who live there can get a good job for good ole'Elon.
  14. "Fund a second Marine Corps." Yeah, we used shit from the 1990's sitting in storage.
  15. Saban Vs. Jimbo. I will pick Saban to recover from a loss.
  16. Nice. Total domination: Houck tosses MLB's first 'Maddux' of '24 That term, in honor of Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, refers to a shutout accomplished in fewer than 100 pitches. Houck did the honors in 94 pitches, 69 of them strikes. It was the first shutout by a Red Sox pitcher since Michael Wacha on June 6, 2022 at Anaheim. And the first “Maddux” by a Boston hurler since Clay Buchholz on Aug. 31, 2014. https://www.mlb.com/news/tanner-houck-throws-shutout-vs-guardians
