  1. Shit. A big Canadian goose or a swan can send you to the hospital. Wing force of a baseball bat swung at full force. I concur. Especially when they hunt in packs. Get o e on your back. Game over.
  2. Only thing I can wrap my brain around was a scouting event I took my son to years back. He got sick and we had to leave. As we were driving out a massive storm hit and washed away many of the tents/campsites and parents later told us they had to hide in their vehicles. We spent the day trying to reach dads and family members to make sure everyone was ok. But this. I just can’t.
  3. Been out of state but following this. Truly, truly terrible.
  4. You knew here? It’s a complete shit show as this thread clearly illustrates
  5. I have a pair of those old, wooden shoe stretchers that work great on boots. I just slide them in there, crank them open and leave overnight. worked on both mine and my son's new boots. Might help?
  6. Agree with this, but I go back to the earlier and much more recent example of the histrionics about the advent of the internet. It spawned many more multiples of jobs in fields never before imagined than it eliminated. This is only a few decades past.
  7. Let's be fair, "most" blockbuster movies are light on plot & character development and high on explosions and actors dripping with HGH and peptides. Harry Potter doesn't fit this mold, but that is because it's a book adaptation. Same with GOT.
  8. "Maybe" - they said the same thing about the internet. How it was going to replace tens of millions of jobs, only to see hundreds of millions of new opportunities arise. One of the best quotes I've heard about innovation and disruption was along the line of asking people a hundred+ years ago what they all wanted: a faster horse.
  9. Hollywood is going to be even more bifurcated with their movie types - you'll have your lower budget shows that feature actors together focusing on plot and character development, and then all your big, blockbuster stuff will be mainly AI driven. All your fantasy, superhero, Jurassic park, etc. stuff will be AI driven where plot and storytelling give way to animation and special effects.
  10. Obligatory what is your boot size......asking for a friend.....;) I kid, but have you look at stretching them? I did this for mine and my sons. Are they rubbing on the heel or the toes?
  11. Don't. They're an absolute ass beating. It's already fucking hot, even in the morning. Now get into a wicker basket with a rocket engine a few feet above your heads. It's loud, hot and you can't control the damn things.
  12. The "Gibraltar" of the South was about as decisive as it goes in terms of Confederate losses. Grant running his gunboats at night, up against the Confederate shoreline, was a stroke of genius - especially in light that they were unable to depress their guns low enough to engage them.
  13. Yep - anything on the head and it's a mess. I've got scars on my chin, cheek, hands, forearms, and knees from doing dumb shit at the ranch. Mostly from barbed wire, sharp rocks, mesquite thorns, livestock, and power tools. In that order. Pops had a gnarly scar on his knee that looks like it was from replacement surgery - chainsaw accident. Old fart was cutting mesquite trunk low and parallel to the ground, hit a knot and the blade kicked back, caught him square on the knee and "bounced" on the patella. Few inches in, your talking softer tissue, and of course the femoral artery. Cabin looked like a Civil War infirmary. Blood and bandages everywhere. He treated the cut and drove into Ballinger and got medical attention.
  14. The boy is through his freshman year. Biz school. ROTC. Fraternity. Lot to pack into a 1st year. Lost weight, got sick a lot, but he's back and working over the summer and finalizing his Guard contract. Daughter headed to San Diego for the ECNL soccer playoffs. She has offers in hand, but we'll see if anyone reaches out. Then we're done. I might have to get a puppy....
  15. Liver King apparently....
  16. The "King" is all coked and roided out of his head. I would love to see him roll against ANYONE that is a high level BJJ fighter. Love him or not, Rogan is a black belt in Gi and no-Gi and would twist him up in a matter of minutes.
  17. Yeah, I was the "breaker-bar" kid for the longest damn time. Just a solid metal bar with a chisel tip on one end. Has to be 50+ years old. Still have it. T-post driver is also a big bucket of suck.
  18. My arms are sore just from looking at that picture....
  19. How many beer we talking about, because I'm liable to wind up in that damn hole the next morning....
  20. I get it. Story of my life.....
  21. Well, that's because there are no Walmarts in Iran. Only Targets.......
  22. That was in April of '21 - prompting the Natanz Attack on April 11th '21. You apparently need enrichment closer to 90% for a weapon, but they are close - hence the recent movement. All the internal IDF sabotage, drones, and personnel identification/targeting that takes years and years of preparation and planning obviously stems from this achievement in enrichment.
