  1. Here's what I think happened - he wants to bomb or invade or both, and was talking to the military folks, and somebody told him that there are a lot of flights in and around Venezuela - flights up and down the continent, flights in and out of Colombia (that cross over Venezulea), plus you have Aruba and the Antilles right off the coast with lots of tourist flights every single day from Europe and the Americas. There's probably a healthy amount of air traffic in that part of the world. They probably told Trump they have to be careful about civilian flights if they start bombing or trying to move troops in and supporting them, and that if they issue a NOTAM Venezulea will be tipped off, and Trump being Trump, said "fuck it, you all are useless, I'll shut down their airspace and the surrounding areas and we won't have to worry about civilian aircraft" and then he goes on Truth Social and declares bankruptcy their airspace to be shut down.
  2. There's a joke that goes something like "Trump is the second-most powerful person in the world - the most powerful person in the world is whoever last talked to Trump."

  4. Fine, you've convinced me, let's tuck our tails between our legs, try to get out of those big OOC games and look like fucking cowards. Because that's exactly what aggy would do.
  5. High profile game, gives the players a real game with real pressure, facing off against some solid offense and defense. Versus a scrimmage against kids that are not far away from playing at Division II or III or even Jucos.
  6. They will expand the playoffs pretty soon because it pays everybody well, network included. I don't want us scheduling the Colorado School for Blind Basket Weavers because we dropped a game to Florida that we shouldn't have. The Ohio State game had a lot of benefits that beating the fuck out of the University of California - Ferndale would not get us.
  7. My kids will always watch Polar Express at Christmas, no idea why. So I'll have to watch Spielberg's 1941 by myself again this year. Maybe next year.
  8. 'One of our greatest writers': King leads tributes to Sir Tom Stoppard
  9. How dare you talk about Ed McMahon, Ruth Buzzi, and Dan Haggerty like that!
  10. Let's examine that so more, it's a story from 2019 (so the mom is now 48, she was 42 in the photo). From Target to Saks, retailers are banking on ‘mini-me’ fashion - The Washington Post The fashion trend that won't go away: Matching clothes for the whole family | Human Interest | unionleader.com From Target to Saks, retailers are banking on ‘mini-me’ fashion - The Washington Post Still doing the matching clothes years later
  11. If the reports are correct, Trump told Japan to chill the fuck out about defending Taiwan, so I think we know where that's headed. Also, I have absolutely no doubt he wouldn't give a fuck about Taiwan, even though it would completely wreck our economy, because he doesn't understand simple economics and why Taiwan is so important. Everything is just fucking real estate to him, that can be traded away.
  12. The answer is always OU if it's about hurting them.
  13. Or we just fucking beat all of the shitty teams and not worry about it. We should not have lost to Florida. Consistent teams don't lose those kinds of games. And it's fucking crazy how far and fast we've come in less than a decade where even a single loss could keep us out of playing for something significant, and now we are debating whether we should be in with 3 wins or not. We should be in if some of those 2-loss teams ahead of us lost today but they didn't.
  14. Or maybe the #1 team didn't matter and it was about losing a game that we should never have even come close to losing.
  15. I wish more of them were like this (this seems so dated now, even though it's less than two weeks old, but more crazy shit has come out).
  16. @Armybrat and other fans of The Browning might get a chuckle out of this - out field testing a ground drone with an M2 and ran into a Russian troop transport (it probably survived, since the M2 didn't seem to have armor piercing loaded). A Ukrainian ground drone armed with a Browning M2 machine gun engaged a Russian MT-LB in a direct frontal encounter on the frontline. According to reports, soldiers of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade were conducting tests of the unmanned ground platform during a mission on the front line when a Russian armoured vehicle unexpectedly appeared.
  17. Tankers still afloat, but yeah, it's going to really make a lot of companies/countries rethink the Black Sea. Meanwhile, China is buying stakes in Russian defense companies Financial Times
  18. If we can't be in the playoffs, I just want aggy to get beat by Texas Tech in the first round. That's all I ask for. Their last two games of the season to be losses to us and to Tortilla High. That would just be piling on all of the self-loathing that the aggy collective has endured since last night.
  19. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/williamson-county/williamson-county-forms-regional-coalition-to-tackle-water-needs/ Williamson County will conduct a comprehensive water study to forecast and address water demands in the decades to come. The study will be led by a newly formed regional coalition that consists of local water providers in the county, such as Round Rock, Georgetown and Cedar Park. “Everyone is concerned about the future of water in Williamson County,” Williamson County Judge Steven Snell said. “Our water supports everything. It supports our homes, supports our businesses, supports our agriculture.” The Integrated Water Resources Plan aims to analyze population and employment projections for 2026, 2040, 2060, and 2080. Among many other things, the plan will identify gaps and opportunities and create regional scenarios ——— They are still screwed. The Chinese bitcoiners and the big-ass data centers are thirsty.
