  1. Dude, stop. No one worth a shit is questioning you. It's kinda late, everyone has had a few drinks. You don't have ta 'splain yourself. But...ya need to take a chill pill and give people some slack. You got to give a lot to get a little. I swear you are gonna have a cardiac incident. You're a good poster, but goddamn. CHIEF
  2. Coming from the oilfield, I have multiple friends in big corporate oilfield companies, they all drink like fish but can't smoke pot. Many of them smoked before working oilfield jobs. Pot synthesizes through your body quicker and there are no hangovers. Think of the productivity lost. CHIEF
  3. I've never understood the disdain, especially in states where it is legal. It's very simple, treat it like alcohol. Can't be drunk on site, can't be stoned on site. Workers would sleep much better as well, and I'm in my 50s. CHIEF
  4. What could some of the possible legal ramifications be for a physician prescribing prescription drugs to an addict, or someone that doesn't really need the prescription? Or to a pharmacist that lets just anyone walk in off the street and buy a few hundred Oxycontin? Liability is the elephant in the room. Do you just put in vending machines and let people self prescribe? CHIEF
  5. The only thing on the road to kill are mailboxes, you think these old fuckers are up at midnight? They can also call security, and they will drive them home. Free Uber. CHIEF
  6. The coaches are in a Catch-22 at the moment. The biggest problem is lack of execution. This is a highly respected staff, they have done great things at other locations. They didn't come to Texas and magically forget how to coach. I respect the staff for not throwing the players under the bus, and taking the heat for their players. Sark puts it eloquently, as mental issues, and psyche, but if you were in a one on one conversation with him, he would probably say the same things Michael Griffin, and Brian Jones are saying. CHIEF
  7. Yep, that was my group's reaction. It was a small town, all there was to do was drink beer and drive back roads. Luckily when I was pulled over for DWI in my early twenties, it was in a county where my cousin was the DA, and my aunt on the opposite side of the family was his secretary. No charges were filed, it cost me $150 to get my Bronco out of impound, and a six month licenses suspension for refusing a breathalyzer. Fast forward to today, CHIEF Jr. and none of his friends drink more than one or two beers at the bars in town. They come here to drink at the Country Club, and always have. All the roads are private and there are no cops. They are all entering professional careers after college, and are unwilling to jeopardize all of that hard work on a drunk driving arrest. They just come back to our house, crash, and leave out the next morning. LEOs pretty much stake out every drinking establishment in town. Our mayor got his 3rd DWI. He was marked after his first one, and had to step down. He didn't learn his lesson after the first one, they knew his car, and would simply sit and wait for the inevitable. A big music venue shut down several years back, sheriff's deputies would drive through and write down license plates of the vehicles that got there early and would be waiting outside the gate to pull them over. Really chickenshit behavior. CHIEF
  8. The equal of Hut's in Waco, is Cupps Drive In https://sites.google.com/view/cupps-drive-inn Cupps, George's, and Poppa Rollo Pizza are all exceptional. CHIEF
  9. Traylor should have been this hire. There are several threads where Surlyites brought this up, and were "poo-pooed" about him only being 7-4 last year and Texas is too good to go after someone with a resume as short as his, and at a non-P5 school. That motherfucker has a ragtag band of San Antonio and Rio Grand Valley kids sitting at #23 this week. CHIEF
  10. I use SuperATV.
  11. Darrell Royal or Mack Brown never won their division or conference before being hired by Texas, should Texas have passed on them? It's taking a coach with a mediocre record, and seeing if his sobriety and offensive genius can translate, and if his choice of assistants can turn the ship around. It's really very simple. We will know in the next couple of years. CHIEF
  12. I just know how I was in high school and college. Alcohol, hell yeah. A little pot, ok. That was about it in high school. Didn't have a real "big time" dealer until college, never had enough money to make my heart explode on coke. There were two things that I was offered but no way would I have taken them. Heroin. I even knew at that point, not to fuck with it. It came with physical dependency that you couldn't get away from, and you would be on Methadone from now on if you did. Also, a very high chance of overdose. PCP. Knew a guy that was a veterinarian's son, had beat his own brains out with a pipe when I was a kid. I had seen the videos of guys getting shot dozens of times, and it still took five or six police officers to wrestle them to the ground. I had absolutely no interest in either of those two drugs, I had been educated about them. The problem is now any street drug, no matter how mild or unassuming, can be just as dangerous or more dangerous than either one. Knowing that would have undoubtedly set me straight. CHIEF
  13. It probably won't until several of the "cool kids" and friends have multiple deaths at the same party. But you have to try something, so you can say you tried to warn them before the big wake up call. Do you think Jake's death was a wake up call for the team, and others at the University? CHIEF
  14. Education and fear. First day of school, send everyone to the gym for a frank discussion of the dangers of the possibility of street drugs being laced or coming into contact with Fetanyl. Give them facts and statistics (based on some I've seen here): More people die from coming into contact with Fetanyl each year, than Americans killed in the entire Vietnam War. In this student body, there is probably going to be one of you that dies from Fetanyl, maybe more depending on size of student body. Your dealer may unknowingly give you a drug that is laced, or has come into contact with Fentanyl. One pound of Fentanyl can kill over 450k people. Show the penny picture. List off the musicians, actors, rappers, and athletes that died from Fetanyl. You really have to work on instilling in them that the risk is not worth the reward, that it can really happen to them, and hope that mindset carries over into college, or after high school. For college kids, same thing, but through campus organizations. CHIEF
  15. We were fortunate to get our Ranger in June. When we went and put a deposit down in late April, no one had claimed it. At that time the dealership was full of UTVs. When we went back in June, they were cleaned out. Had a guy offer us our money back and $5k, to walk away. CHIEF
  16. Mom gave her a monthly allowance at the student center, free pizza. CHIEF
  17. One would think that the drive to find a mate would start to increase for women, while in college. Especially with their being more women than men. The statistics bear out that most college educated people find their spouse while in college. I bear that out, I know Brisket did, another mutual friend, several of CHIEF Jr.'s friends all found spouses in college. Women are going to have to change their concept of "educated" from only a classically college educated individual to also include men that are trained in technologies and highly skilled trades that may not have come from a STEM program at a standard four year college or university. Educated and financially successful are great, but so are other traits sexual attraction, honesty, trustworthiness, empathy, compassion, pride in one's self, etc. CHIEF
  18. Here is a good, but long, explanation by Jordan Peterson. The list is, that Women want equal or above. They are obviously more invested in sex, as they have the chance to get pregnant, and if they end up single (single mother) they slide down the socioeconomic scale. Men date equal or down, because they can leave. The video mainly chastises men, for not doing things to make them equal or better. CHIEF
  19. “I’ll pay you $350,000 for your house as long as a human can go out there, look around, and make sure that price isn’t wildly off” is an interesting model but it’s not quite the same as “push this button to sell your house for $350,000.” And “I’ll pay $350,000 for a house and then send out a crew to replace the carpets” is not quite the same as “I’ll pay $350,000 for a house and flip it 20 minutes later for $355,000, collecting a small spread for providing liquidity.” Computerization has come into the housing market, but it hasn’t taken it over yet. Zillow is ran by fucking idiots that can't even keep their website updated. I don't know how many calls I get from buyers wanting to look at a specific house listed on Zillow that sold 6-9 months ago with no update on status. It's no wonder they failed at this "market opportunity" miserably. CHIEF
  20. This OL is letting a defender through, untouched, at least once or twice a series. Be it a lineman, or linebacker. I would wheel route with the RBs until they stopped it. That's about the only play the offense has time to get off when the defense pins their ears back. Sark needs to go back and watch his own seminar. CHIEF
  21. Gundy moved the DEs outside eliminating outside zone and jet sweep options. This funneled every run back to the middle. Our OL is so shitty, they can't even run block in the A and B gaps when the DEs are outside. It basically shut down the run game. We have no answer for that. There was a reason we abandoned those plays, the shit no longer worked. They dared Casey to beat them with his arm with a defender in his face. CHIEF
  22. CHIEF Jr. spent hours researching game cams. We ended up with a Covert game cam. My feeder sits at the bottom of a 200 ft. cliff that it must shoot a signal over. Right now I have 90% battery life (about 35 pictures a day), and 60% signal strength, between Benjamin and Guthrie. https://www.amazon.com/Covert-CO8076-Code-Black-2021/dp/B08VQFZGY7/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1634748402&sr=8-1&srs=9517145011 CHIEF
  23. About 10 years ago we were hunting on the Swenson Ranch between Aspermont and Hamlin. A shot this big solitary sow (500 or so lbs.) from about 600 yards. I was proud of the shot, of course, but it was like hitting a large dinner plate. CHIEF Jr. was not with me, but I decided to go show her to him the next morning. We went to the location, and I couldn't find her. We started looking around for her, and found nothing but her skull and spine about 50 yards away. The other hogs had eaten everything else overnight. CHIEF
  24. When I was a kid, I knew a guy that used to make "trot lines" for coyotes. He would bait them with pieces of meat, and hang them high enough that the coyote had to jump to reach it, and would get hooked. Absolutely the most cruel thing I ever heard of. His rationale was that coyotes didn't care if a fawn was still alive when they started to eat it. I always thought humans were better than that. CHIEF
  25. That's all I got. CHIEF
