  1. Takes hogging to a whole new level.
  2. Yeah, I know. Something else that jumped out at me... Buck Compton (Bob) and Rosie went on to have very distinguished legal careers followng the war.
  3. I'm disappointed in the finale but realize why they did it the way they did. I think Rosie walking into the death camp and Egan's flag raising were pretty heavy handed/sappy but then I have to remember that a lot of Americans really have no clue about WWII and the Holocaust. I would have preferred they just showed Rosie's conversation with the old man.
  4. Lindell's lawyer's office is in an office park wedged in between the Lake Ridge Dental Care and the Permaskin Beauty Center and Academy.

  5. For those that don't know who Presler is... He's just as bad as you think he is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Presler
  6. Just some light reading.... https://www.project2025.org/
  7. And now we're fairly friendly trading partners.
  8. It's a Soviet MIRV-6 from an SS-22N launch vehicle. The warhead contains 14.5 kilograms of enriched uranium and a plutonium trigger. The nominal yield is 30 kilotons.
  9. This is kind of off topic related to private gun ownership but is realted to guns... I realize this is sort of an out of date question but I am curious what people think about the Sig M7 as a front line replacement for the M4. I understand the idea behind it; more modularity and the ability to pop through body armor better than 5.56 or 7.62 rounds. But as I understand it, the plan would be to issue these to combat trooops while others in the rear would still field the M4. 1. That means two types of small arms ammo have to be transported in bulk. That was already being done with 5.56/7.62 for the M4/249 and 240s so this isn't a new issue but it still seems like a logistical issue. 2. Is NATO going to be adopting the M7 as well? Granted, depending on the future and U.S. politics, we might not even be in NATO but isn't this also a huge logistics nightmare? 3. This is an Army contract and the Marines could adopt the weapon but there's no current plan that I know of. So there's another logistical issue. Thoughts?
  10. Yeah, I read about those two earlier. Daleiden in particular is a piece of work.
  11. I do still watch football. I enjoy the game but the wear and tear on the players can be tough to watch especially the brain trauma later in live.
  12. Well, he has trouble with the curve.
  13. I know some around here like the UFC but I just see that whole crowd as mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging GQP assholes. I personally don't care for UFC or Boxing and even question liking football. The gladiator aspect of it is sad.
  14. Exactly. The BMDs care about power and profit. They don't give a shit about the rule of law.
  15. I'm curious why you say "I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott." I don't know much about their relationship other than Scott seems to be a bit electic and seems to have played with a shit ton of people in his band.
  16. Yes. He may have more information than the article mentions but loading some bankers boxes on to the play seems like not that much.
