  1. This has been the correct answer since 2014 and it will remain the correct answer until we do it. Bullies will keep escalating until someone escalates back and beats the shit out of them. They only understand strength. The longer it takes, the weaker the long term outlook for support from the West becomes. This will only encourage Putin. His plan is to ride this out until his agents derail western support. That's the only part of his invasion plan that is working. When Russia invaded in February, there was broad bipartisan support for Ukraine. After less than a year, polls show 52% of the GOP is willing to let Putin rape, pillage and genocide Ukraine. A much smaller percentage on the far left agrees. Similar patterns are playing out in other NATO allies as well. I'm going to leave it there, as statements of fact, so it doesn't get too far off track into CR territory, but this is quickly trending the wrong direction and the prognosis for long-term bipartisan support for Ukraine is extremely poor. We do not want to fuck around with this conflict persisting into 2024. While we still have some bipartisan support, we need to give Ukraine what they need to decisively end this conflict by the end of the summer and throw Russia out of the Donbas and Crimea.

  4. It's honestly surprising more companies haven't moved on their own sooner. They lose enormous amounts of money and market share to Chinese intellectual property theft. China has spent decades now blatantly ripping off our science and intellectual property. In exchange, we get a more competent Chinese military and a whole lot of cheaper, shittier, counterfeit and knockoff products on Amazon. We need to stop funding our adversaries. The sooner we move our manufacturing back to our hemisphere the better.

  7. Let’s do this for the 100th time… Back in the late 90’s before 12 game schedules were a permanent fixture and before FOX had college football, there were only so many broadcast windows. Texas football was popular, Baylor (for example) was not. Texas had most of its games broadcasted and Baylor had very few. The UNEQUAL revenue sharing was to compensate Texas for having more games on TV. Yes, as a reward, but also because without unequal revenue Baylor and the other less popular schools would have made MORE money off PPV than Texas did because they did not share 3rd tier rights. Texas would be lucky to get access to one football game a year that it could sell on PPV, while Kansas and Baylor could sell most of their games and keep those profits. Obviously that was the reason for unequal revenue sharing. Not because the Big 12 was thankful for Texas. Texas didn’t like this system and wanted to push for a joint network (before the BTN ever existed) to share those 3rd tier rights, but the smaller schools shot down that idea and said it would be a failure because they didn’t want to risk their PPV income. When the Big12 voted down the conference network Texas tried to do a joint network with aggy and later alone but neither were successful as Texas didn’t not have a lot of guaranteed inventory to make that was predictable year in year out. When the conference blew up thanks to corn and aggy, Texas offered to go full equal revenue with the remaining schools, in exchange for some guaranteed third tier inventory which ESPN quickly gobbled up. This was completely predictable and Texas never hid its desire for a network but when the news came out it was as if Texas had somehow fucked over the Big 12 despite just giving them a shit load more money each year. The Big 12 didn’t β€œallow” any of these things. They were obvious decisions that had to be made at the time. The Big 12 have never in its history been a forward thinking, progressive organization. The other schools are only self interested and never think past their immediate gratification. Start a Big 12 Network…nope…NU/CU leave…let’s give Texas/Oklahoma more of the exit fee to stay (which they declined because they knew it would be thrown back in their face years later)…EQUAL revenue sharing for guaranteed third tier rights…ABSOLUTELY…LHN started with those same rights…let’s bitch about that for the next decade and bemoan the lack of a conference network (despite voting down that idea years ago) and pass rules and restrictions on what they can and cannot do. The Big 12 has no one to blame but themselves for their incompetence.

  11. Adding to my above comment- I feel like one of the slickest bits of diplomacy the US has applied was after 9-11. We were going to attack by air, and wanted to fly from Pakistan. Powell communicated as much. Pakistan- β€œI’m sorry, Secretary Powell, but we can’t let you fly from our country. We would like to help, but the political situation is incredibly delicate.” Powell- β€œThat’s fine. We’ll fly from India instead. Your air defense radar is going to show a tremendous number of war planes taking off from India and flying over Pakistan, en route to Afghanistan. I advise you to not shoot any of ours down. We’re not really in an understanding mood right now.” Pakistan- β€œMaybe we can accommodate your desire to fly from Pakistan”. I’d like to see a similar approach with Germany (and some other European nations). Let them know what is going to happen, and let them know they can either get in the tent and piss out, or stay out of the tent and get pissed on.

  24. We lost my grandmother this morning. It was her time and we are all relieved. She loved music, knitting, crossword puzzles, Fawlty Towers, Ireland, the ocean (she came from a line of at least four straight sea captains), Mexican culture (esp Mariachi Mass), Cajun/Creole culture, Big Thicket lore (her mom was from the Greater Kountze Metroplex lol), the Astros, genealogy, good books, Perry Mason, dogs, and children. She was one of a kind.

  30. Well I just spent a couple enjoyable hours down at the guitar shop plotting. When I got this '58, I was on the fence on what to do with it. The price I got it for made me confident I could always get the money back out of it plus some, so at the least I'd play it for awhile and flip it. Well, it turns out this is a really, really good guitar. It was the best burst I played from an admittedly small sample. After I had bought it, I was exchanging emails with the sales guy at Carter's, who flat out said the '60 they just sold for twice as much was markedly inferior playing, it just had original paint while this one was a refin. So the question became what to do here. The fact I have a guy here that can not only do a real vintage finish, and more than that realllly cares about this sort of thing tipped the scales. We are going to take it down to bare wood and give it a proper refinish. This is the third one he will have done, the first '58, the others were '59s while he was at Gibson. The plan is to have a photographer document the entire process with the eye on probably doing a magazine feature on it in the future. Once the work it done we are both going to head to Nashville and Gibson will stamp a new serial on it with the real tooling. This should kick off in earnest in April. I will post up progress, I'm honestly super excited to watch this process unfold. Also, gratuitous pic of the old milling machine from Kalamazoo he has, plus old lathe.

And you're going to need one. Yes, you, Mr. Clarence Accessorytodistributechildpornography. In fact I'd just ghost this account right now. Maybe if you ask immamac nicely, he'll delete all your posts. Assuming imma's attorney doesn't say "No, we can't do that, that's evidence, now." Seriously. Shut the fuck up. For your own sake. This is like super amusing for the rest of us, but the more you talk... the worse things get for you and your friend.
