  1. I really thought both were pretty snappy and I would have no issue wearing both. Paying for both... eh, not so much. I would love to see immamac get some Surly swag based on one of those "jerseys" though. Front left chest: Surly Rollers Back: There are Rules MuleDick Edit- OR... Burnt Ends On the back and price it where there is a margin for contribution. Well.... shit @immamac maybe for real? Sweet ass Surly Roller Team Burnt Ends shirts
  2. I have to pimp one of my favorite podcasts here. Dan Cummins is a stand up comedian (might be was as he's now focusing on his podcasts) His team does incredible research and he tells the history of multiple serial killers (along with a lot of cults and other items) He always adds a curious amusing twist to the tales. It's very different and very fun listen. You can find links in the page beloww. Link to Dan Cummins' Home Page The Fred and May West one was disturbing for sure. I'll watch it on Netflix too.
  3. I know fuck all about bowling. Your question made me curious. Admittedly, I picked the high end on all this shit assuming thats what you'd want in a perfect world as a college team... the answer, before travel, is a lot more than I expected.
  4. Are you trying to tell me aggie created a myth based on zero factual information and repeated it to themselves until it became cannon and reality in their delusional view of the world? Inconceivable!
  5. Hah! I shared this very video with a friend earlier this week. I like that creators content broadly speaking and that's a great piece of his.
  6. I can say Reed won't be the savior by the end of October, rather he will have shifted to a POS and whoever is behind him will be the new savior.
  7. Wait, losing 5 in a row kills momentum? Someone needs to get this visionary on ESPN.
  8. You're correct, its been a hot minute. I transposed the two. In the game its Joel lying about her rescue. Sorry. I'll see myself out.
  9. I fully agree. I get why he sent Ellie outside in the game, I don’t fully understand why he lied about it to Gail. Even if he did, Joel could have countered that he was trying to protect Eugene's memory FOR Gail and to protect Ellie from judgement not lying to make himself feel better. However, that path actually makes Ellie look like the bad actor because had she been mature enough to keep the the last story of Eugene as a brave man who took his own life, Gail has a better perception of his end. Sometimes, people don't need to know the truth as there is no upside and Joel's actions weren't with ill intent. Eugene and Ellie are the bad actors. Eugene should have manned up, given words for Joel to share to gail and, well, taken his death like a man. Ellie should have understood or been mature enough grasp her knowledge was hurtful to Gail. Exposing that truth that served nobody, accept Ellie's own conscience.
  10. Are you saying I shouldn't like bacon, ham and pepperoni? Are you a fucking zealot fundamental Muslim? Why should I not cheer for more pig?
  11. I don't know if it was covered in the series but I'll explain what happened in the game in spoilers regarding Joel's reaction. Your call if you want understanding
  12. Speaking on behalf of non-maga/non-incel straight males... we don't claim him either. I truly hope the scumbag pos ends up getting all the "love" he can "take" in a Romanian prison. Or British... wherever..
  13. Yeah this is all accomplishing 2 different goals for old "loveable" orange slice boogaloo. First, he's shitting on the department that formerly employed him (2 times) because he's a spiteful, petulant little fucking bitch made fraud. Second, he's laying the ground for "reasons", in advance, why Bill was successful when Mack wasn't, should it come to pass. Mack is a fucking cancer and anyone that doesn't understand why he should have zero association with Texas athletics is a moron.
  14. I think you continue to miss my bigger question which comes simply down to money. Russia is running out if it. How long can Russia keep throwing money on tech vs Russian soldiers to make a point of "we can do this longer than you can". The time may coming when Russian quite possibly simply can't afford to keep throwing drones at the problem given the financial factors. There is also a lot about what Socom does regarding ground troops you are dismissing or aren't aware of but that discussion isn't for this thread.
  15. I boiled it down to simplest terms. To that end, your very point that Nork troups are getting experience has some issues as well. I don't dismiss it in broad terms but what they the Nork soldiers face aren't exactly a foreign enemy at it's peak nor a peak foreign enemy. To my knowledge there are zero US SoCom ground troops engaged in this combat. Granted, open knowledge vs reality can be a big variance in SoCom. So, as for a look at Western tactics, yeah true in a broad stroke but not relative to a true full engagement with Western tech, troops and power. Not even close. Further, they primary military tactical leadership is Russia not Un or North Korea. However, all of that misses the entire point of my post. I actually mentioned that I thought the use of the Russian tech was more for propaganda that tactical aspects. So let me restate the broader query. I am interested in a CBA and ROI of Russian and Nork troops vs the air attacks. The Russian threw a lot of tech at Ukraine and didn't get a lot of tactical advantage based on what I've seen. That's a lot of financial investment for a country with financial issues vs boots that, while not unlimited, can engage at a lower cost and achieve potentially better tactical gains. Its a military strategy question based on known issues and strategies. I dont want to completely derail the thread and it wasn't my intention. Rather it was a curiosity that admittedly jumps into a rabbit hole of deeper discussion on Russian tactics and Ukrainian/Western response. I fully believe that Putin is not quitting/signing a truce and will continue the attack on Ukraine until he is pulled from office by death or coupe which could come in many forms. I'm curios about the deeper dive from a military/tactical/financial perspective. That was my broader point. Again, perhaps its a separate thread from the broader discussion.
  16. Bro, aggie online academics are brutally difficult.
  17. Showdown was my Cheers and it was played a minimum of 1 time per night. On weekends nights/days it was played in HEAVY rotation all damn day/night. I love the song, but had a cringe response for a number of years after.
  18. Yellow jackets nest in the ground. Their nest burrows can be really difficult to spot as they even use camouflage occasionally. If you're running a bush wacker on a hill and step on them you won't hear them swarming you. They WILL chase you so you might want to consider killing the engine on your portable circular saw and drop it before you tumble down the hill fighting off the 20-30 yellow jackets stinging your leg. Particularly, if you are allergic to wasps. Does that sound like an oddly specific story? It happened to a guy I know.
  19. The was a thread there when Ricky won the Heisman. I made a complete tl:dr about my interactions with Ricky and how much I honestly liked him as a person. Ricky's mom actually sent me a DM saying thank you.
  20. I didnt take the bus, but went to I guess the "tailgate" for that game. Said hello shook a few hands went to the game.
  21. I have a lot of very complex thoughts on this... Instead of rambling... What's the story, Norm? Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer. Bye Norm!
  22. This is really well written and I think it very difficult to nit pick given the author's history and disclosure levels. Thanks for posting.
