  1. Based on those β€œBrits” parading around, they may have to pack the stadiums with locals dressed as foreign fans. Of course they wouldn’t want to give them easy access to booze
  2. I understand that fracking is necessary. I'm not questioning that. I'm pro-O&G, for both personal and professional reasons. I'm only restating a yes or no question that was either being danced around intentionally or misinterpreted. I honestly don't know the answer, and I don't particularly care, but it's fair to admit that one process may have more negative effects. No reason to hide it or deny it, and that's BECAUSE of the points you made in your last two posts...the pros outweigh the cons (if it's even true that fracking produces more wastewater).
  3. All of the bolded part is irrelevant to the yes or no question I asked. Fair enough, then let me rephrase...
  4. This was my initial thought as well, but the more I think about it, the more I'm questioning it. If I'm in the position where I'm having to leave my child alone with a stranger outside of my supervision, such as a sleep center, I would hope that the hiring requirements at such a place would be "you have never been found guilty of OR plead "no contest" to a charge of child abuse, endangerment, etc."
  5. Got me thinkin so I looked it up. I had to walk .4 miles to the dang school bus stop. So AISD actually forced this apparent child endangerment on me. Anybody know the SOL on that? I demand reparations!
  6. Getting a little heated here so I'll try to rephrase the question I think some are trying to pose. First, set aside the argument about recycling since that is not universal and injection wells currently exist. Second, any method that creates wastewater, leading to the need for an injection well, does occasionally increase seismic activity. Now, doing a side-by-side comparison between "traditional" drilling and fracking, does either method - more often than not - produce noticeably more wastewater than the other? If the answer is no, then your point is 100% valid that fracking does not have the downstream effect of increasing seismic activity (as compared to the other method). If either method typically produces more wastewater than the other, it is then fair to claim that such method leads to increased seismic activity (again, as compared to the other method).
  7. I just googled both under the shopping tab. Results were as follows: "purple felt covered chair constructed for sitting in front of piano” - The fifth result was a purple felt covered piano stool. "piano stool" - Near the middle of page 4 was the first result that sort of met the requirements "purple piano stool" - the 12th result met the requirements "purple felt piano stool" - 7th result Sooo...who's the dumb dumb now? Other than me for taking the time to conduct this stupid experiment, of course.
  8. Counterpoint, if you maintain a casual pace and only carry a few bags at a time, a well trained wife and children will have everything put away by the time you finish...which should always conclude with the paper towels or toilet paper that just get placed on the shelf by the garage fridge, leaving you in the ideal location to crack open a cold one.
  9. So stupid. "...directly or indirectly related to its military potential" isn't even a caveat. There ain't a single thing you could point to and say it has no indirect impact on military potential. Kindergarten class on the playground? Yep, they could potentially grow up to become soldiers, so fair game. Old folks home? One of them could potentially win the lottery and then use some of their winnings to buy socks for their grandkid who is serving in the military.

  11. Edit: I'm just going to stop talking here since I clearly don't know what's going on
  12. So ~450 cured ballots, plus somewhere between 1000 and 1400 other ballots, for a max of ~1,800 ballots. Frisch would need something like 80% of that, and he's currently at 53% of the counted ballots. That doesn't sound too sweat inducing, but I'll continue to hold out hope!
  13. Lol. Five shell casings and four pistols found next to his body. Maybe he was just testing the lethality of different rounds.
  14. Have at it. Cause No. 2021-1772-C2. Call up the McLennan District Clerk and ask for a copy of the indictment. It'll only cost you a few bucks, think $1 per page.
  15. Would that actually be the case? We'd put a bunch of our Navy in between China and Taiwan? Then what? Politely tell them they shall not pass? Would we get directly involved in that as opposed to just providing assistance like we've done with Ukraine?
  16. I, for one, CAN. NOT. WAIT. until I get the opportunity to say "Don't make me assume my ultimate form. I will fucking wreck you!"

  18. JFC, Vic. That's what the meme was about. DADS at Christmas. In what situation did you picture a bunch of adults sitting around unwrapping tons of presents?
  19. Saw that too. Pretty crazy since bodies don't really hold that much blood. Also, just saw the victims for the first time. Dude used up all his luck getting to live with what I can only assume are 3 Idaho 10s.
  20. This. Just getting around to watching it, and holy shit this guy is a jackass. "The pointy end is up, and the burny end is facing down." That's just shameful considering the efforts of so many brilliant people around the world.
