  1. He'll give them the double birds and keep on criming. Nadler will shrug his shoulders and say it's not worth the effort to do anything about it. We are F'd.
  2. Like a swiss f'n watch these guys are.
  3. I've seen you comment on this a few times and sorry if I missed this part of it already, but do you think this is driven by reduced viral load due to the hotter weather or CV19 mutating to a weaker strain or what? It's something I've struggled to understand - steady ~20k/day new cases along with a steady decline in daily deaths.
  4. MP7 has become my favorite. I'm 2 longshot kills away from getting the gold camo for it, that's been a serious f'n grind. Sucks that they took Plunder away again, and agreed that their Rumble mode is terrible. Nothing but campers/snipers and assholes waiting to run you over in a vehicle as soon as you hit the ground. I thought the Trench Warfare 3v3 mode was pretty fun too so of course that took that one away quickly too.
  5. Damn. Are there enough DUCs out there to turn this around anywhere near as quickly as it did in '17 or '19?
  6. Good luck getting it over the finish line, I know you've wanted to do something like this for quite some time. Are you going to hedge or nah?
  7. Jesus. That's a startling number to see.
  8. Agreed, Rubio and Cruz can both get bent for that same reason.
  9. I feel like I'm looking in the mirror here with a few small tweaks. I can't see myself voting for a Republican for quite a while and will actively work against any GOP candidates that went full-Trumpkin during this error. I'm a hunting, fishing, gun owning, beer drinking, and in an industry connected to Oil & Gas, Texan.
  10. How is Burr different then? I mean, I know he subpoenaed Donnie Jr. and there's the whole SSCI report that shut down a lot of Trump's conspiracy theories, but is it all because he gave his brother in law information too? But that's just publicly available info that anyone could have, amirite?
  11. I went to high school with the CFO - his dad was my dentist growing up. Great dude, so glad that he has done well. Thanks for noticing @BTW the gutters and strikes ref really tied the post together IMO.
  12. Were you working from plans on these or did you just wing it? I like the looks of those and might have to make a pair for myself.

  14. Fair point on their portcos over the last 12 months for sure, definitely more gutters than strikes. Some of them that I think they did pretty good on within the last 2-3 years: Ameredev, Silverback, Forge and Felix. I work with another one that had their assets under LOI that totally fell apart a few months ago. I think the buyer lost quite a bit of cash that had already gone hard.
  15. Damn, that would be pretty big news if they shut the whole Dallas office. I've worked with some of their portcos that have not gone according to plan over the last few years for sure, but that still would be a surprise.
  16. I'm having this exact issue with my family right now. We go to the beach for a week every summer - my parents, sister's family and my family - and have been doing this almost every year going back to when we were little kids ourselves. We stay in the same beach house and I look forward to it every year and love it, my kids love it too, especially since their cousins are older than them and they idolize them. My sister lives north of Dallas and her 16 year old daughter now works at a Chick-fi- A, and her husband is a Project Manager for a construction company and has been working/going to his office through this whole ordeal. We live in East Texas and live down the street from my in-laws who are 67 and 73 but in pretty good health. I told my mom last week that I didn't think we were going to go down if my sister and her family were going to be there as well. I barely had the words out of my mouth and my mom starts in on me with a lecture about how we're going to have to leave the house eventually and what are you going to do in the fall when the kids go back to school, etc. and I snapped. I wasn't cussing, but it was very obvious that I was pissed off about her second guessing my decision and lecturing me. She took offense to my reaction and didn't understand why my mom couldn't comment on my decision (not at all what it felt like to me). I can see both sides of this coin and did not say anything about my perception of the risk of my parents being exposed to my niece. Pops is 67 years old, 30 lbs. overweight, has emphysema, and still hits the lung darts. The chances are if he gets CV19 that it's not going to be a mild case. I'm more concerned about my family exposing my in-laws than I am the exposure to us. If she doesn't agree with my decision, I get it, but I don't get lecturing someone for their decision in this current situation. Especially when they are erring on the side of caution. I wouldn't have any issue about going to the beach and hanging out with everyone, but spending a week in the same house with someone who works at a Chick-fil-A is too big of a risk for me. Now we are in a stand off to see who is going to reach out first and I hate it. I'll bite the bullet and check in at some point in the next few days, but this shit sucks.
  17. What the fuck is the deal with the huge updates? I looked this morning and there is a 31 GB update. I live out in the sticks and have pretty shitty internet and an update that big will take me days to get done.
