    Just got a picture taken from our seats. f1a23fc750035654809db3d32308f5ed.jpg

    How’d you get in? I’ll be directly across from you. 

  2. Some more details:

    1) it was behind a locked gate. They cut the lock. 
    2) My brother says in the video the guys look pretty meth-headish.

    3) They rode up on bikes and cased the place, then brought the Tahoe over, cut the chain and grabbed the trailer  fortunately the Yeti was at my brothers place for the crawafish boil we had over the weekend.

    4) Some sketchy looking dude on a bike was in the area today but a co-worker confronted him a bit too aggressively and he got away. May have just been a random homeless dude but the bike looked similar to one they saw in the video.

    I might have not parked it outside to prevent thievery.

    Yeah. I believe it was fenced but not locked. It’s not a high traffic area so he didn’t think it would be an issue. Unfortunately he was wrong.

    You’ll give me a brisket if I track down a criminal and turn him over to you? What a deal! 

    That would be ideal, but if you see the dude and get a license plate number, address, good pics, whatever that helps us track 'em down, that's good enough. My meat will be yours.

  5. Some jerks stole my brother in law's mobile BBQ pit which he handmade and modeled after Aaron Franklin's mobile pit. Needless to say, we are all really pissed. The smoker was stolen Monday night from the Ben White/S. Congress area by the dudes in the security pic. They removed their license plate to avoid detection. I'll pony up for a free prime brisket smoked on this bad boy if you track it down for us.

  6. Yup. I believe I listened to that podcast. The desire for the roof to add to the noise level is definitely a feature not a bug. 

  7. Yeah, I had Friday/Saturday tickets but we decided to bail. This week’s shit show just did us in and then the schedule change made it all less attractive. Given the lack of practice for the team I’m with Dustin - just cancel this thing. I don’t want our guys, especially the pitchers, getting hurt. I’m bitterly disappointed- was really looking forward to this weekend. Pretty much made the last couple months bearable. Fuck. 

  8. Already booked a house in Fayettenam for that weekend. We’ll have 8-10 folks there. Taking father in law who was born and raised in Arkansas so should be a fun time. He’ll be the only one in our group cheering for the Hogs. 

  9. Saw Black Joe Lewis at Empire Control Room downtown last night. Fun time. They have spaced out tables and table service which you order from an app. Worked great and it sure was nice to get out and see a real concert. Felt quite Covid safe.

    I will disagree with you here hoss, I’d wager that a continuing slide in active religious practice is driving more people to conspiracy theories and not religion driving them to conspiracies. 

    It is not going to be a popular truth around here, but nevertheless— active participation in organized religion in the U tied States strongly tied with all sorts of positive social outcomes from marital stability, overall contentment, fiscal responsibility, friendships, to social stability. It’s also been strongly associated with a lower level of belief in the paranormal, alien visitations, psychics, and other fringe beliefs. Note— this is for actual practice in organized religion, not people who simply claim an affiliation. 

    Sure, you can make the argument that it’s just a more socially acceptable or shared delusion but the sociology is pretty clear that statistically, the “organized religion” one is more clearly linked to better outcomes. 
     

    I am not going to argue causation, and I think that churches in the US have mostly themselves to blame for the collapse in confidence and attendance. But it is absolutely not clear that sliding levels of religious observation is leading to improved social stability, mental health, social cohesion, etc.....and the potential negative side is far more pronounced among people who are already living at the margins. 

    Except that every QAnon or semi-QAnon nut I know is also quite evangelically religious and a fairly regular church goer. The biggest conspiracy theorists I know are the most religious. Religion, at least the US version of it, is very much fueling this bullshit or at a minimum it’s a leading indicator of who’s gonna be dumb enough to go down the Q rabbit trail.
