  1. Didn’t buy a ticket because I wasn’t sure what the weekend held for me. Space still available?
  2. Prepare your anus?
  3. They’re about 15 weeks old. 99% sure about the rooster. It’s just started its noisy morning routine the last couple days. Still hasn’t perfected it, but it’s getting pretty loud. I’m in West Lake Hills. Never seen a coon around. Plenty of foxes and coyotes though!
  4. I've tried editing to remove some of the duplicate pics, but they keep coming back. Blame immamac
  5. Pretty new to the chicken game. This is our first "flock." Got 12 eggs from a friend of a friend. Five hatched. My wife was told the possible breeds, but she forgot all the names except Easter egg. Looking for some help on a few things... identification, concerned about the health of one, and I need to get rid of the rooster(s). Identification: After a bit of digging, I've got some ideas, but looking for confirmation from those of y'all that have been in the game longer. I'm guessing the two white ones are leghorns? The speckled white one... that the easter egg? The plain brown one...no idea. Then the one that's obviously a rooster, I don't really care. He'll be discussed below. Health: The plain brown one. Doesn't really have a comb, and its beak is all over the color spectrum. Anything to be concerned about? If I knew the breed, I'd probably be able to answer this question on my own. Should be able to zoom in on this one to get a better look at what I'm talking about. The rooster(s): I think there's only the one, but if any of the others look like roosters let me know. I'd rather deal with them before they piss off the neighbors. My wife thinks it's a great looking cock, but I've never seen one in person so I wouldn't know. First, is there enough meat on this guy to be worth the trouble? Second, if not, anybody wanna take him off my hands?
  6. 24-7 Our defense scores more than their offense
  7. We already have a common enemy. Problem is half the country keeps voting for them.
  8. They don’t need cops. I have it on good authority nobody would try that in a small town
  9. I think that's been shown to be false. But in any case, she wasn't doing deep enough chest compressions to cause any harm.
  10. Oh no. Not again
  11. 6 of 8. Blue Bloods don't change
  12. I’m so happy these rural school districts have so much extra cash laying around they can just change school names on a whim. Meanwhile in Eanes, we lose an elementary school so my kids lose some of their best friends to rezoning, the class sizes have increased, and one of them now gets to spend most of her day in portables in the parking lot. On the plus side, the ac in the main building is constantly shitting the bed, so at least one of them gets reliable ac in the portables! All in all, I’m much happier my tax dollars go to these backwoods mouth breathers that don’t realize they lost the war.
  13. Ya know, that may be one of the only ways someone uneducated on the matter could rationalize a) tariffs are great for us!, and b) the other country will pay them. As awesome as Trump makes them sound, I understand how a simpleminded person could come to this conclusion.
  14. You should be embarrassed about this post
  15. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at here or what this is trying to say. But I assume the color of each X corresponds to the chart in the upper left corner which indicates the probability that a TS would form? And almost all of them are purple, blue, or green, meaning they was less than 50% chance anything would form. Does that really indicate a "false positive"? What am I missing here?
  16. You talking about that big black square-ish spot on the bow? If so, you can see in other videos that was there before they booped.
  17. That sounds pretty damn American to me
  18. Spent the day with a crew in Hunt yesterday. I’ve seen hundreds of pictures, videos, and read of the personal accounts, but nothing can really prepare you for it. Pictures and videos don’t do it justice. Surprisingly, I only teared up a few times. It’s just so overwhelming that you almost instantly go numb. The destruction is beyond words, and the amount of work still left to do is incalculable. Most humbling thing I’ve ever done. Roughly a hundred combined man hours amongst us, and at the end of the day, you wouldn’t even know we had been there. It is pretty amazing to see so many people from different walks of life all over the place just doing what they can. You’ve got guys running heavy equipment, folks with shovels, rakes, chainsaws, groups of women/children/olds sifting through debris recovering personal belongings, came across several groups of foreigners that hardly spoke English (obviously a lot of Mexicans, but I heard some Germans and then another group speaking a language I was unfamiliar with but sounded Slavic), groups running long rows of grills cooking up free food for volunteers…all just doing whatever they can. If you have the desire to help, there’s plenty to do. But no rush, they’re going to be at it for a very very long time. Wasn’t something I really thought about, but with the destruction basically just running in a long line its, at the same time, easier and harder to do. On the one hand, you can just close your eyes and point at a spot on a map, go there, and you’ll have the whole area to yourself. On the other hand, it’s hard to stage and move equipment up and down a riverbank. Anyway, I’m mostly still numb from the whole thing but felt the need to put something in writing. Figured this was as good a place as any.
  19. A Boy Named Sukhoi?
  20. It’s not ad hominem if it’s true
  21. Well, that’s the thing though. Those do benefit them. They’re just too dumb to recognize it.
  22. That’s the same shit every fucking MAGA tool spouts. Since that specific thing doesn’t personally matter to you, then good riddance. As long as you get yours, right?
  23. The radar is pretty interesting to watch. Intense looking storms just popping up all over the place and not moving at all
  24. Yeah, let’s just shutter everything in America that isn’t a profit generator. That’ll work out fine, I’m sure
