  1. That graphic is pretty inaccurate. Most of Russians exports are energy (Oil, gas, coal) A) The five year average pre-invasion includes the COVID years. Making the average imports much smaller than normal. B) They're averaging the months since the invasion. We rolled out sanctions, as well time for them to begin taking effect. If you look at the US, since the invasion began to where we are now. We've dropped about 80% in imports. Not 20%
  2. Stopped at Racetrack to get gas. Every single pump has a car. The actual parking lot is almost empty. Only two people are actually pumping gas.
  3. Anytime I cross in front of a parked car, even if I have the right of way, I still wave a thank you. My guess is had they had a polite wave to you, you probably wouldn't have cared/or at least not honked.
  4. You know that part of the car (intermittent wind shield wipers) where you can regulate have fast your wipers move? My wife thought that adjusted how much water came out when you were cleaning your wind shield......
  5. In my early 20's, my apartment entrance was right after a bridge. I was driving slowly (about 20 mph) figuring there was black ice on the bridge. wound up doing a 270 and facing right into the complex without hitting the curb or anything. But i was going so slow, I swear to god it took like a minute and a half. Me and they guy in the passenger seat screamed for like 20 seconds, then we just kinda sat the wondering what the fuck to do.
  6. It was. most of it was licked off the plate
  7. Lest few nights of food Blt Blte Frito pie Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk
  8. But back then, they had American Equipment. Now they'll have Russian Equipment --- Advantage aggy
  9. I was looking forward to this station. But I agree, I only listening to maybe 30-45 minutes a day. And switch between the three "sports" stations. I'm kinda just tired of listening to "Our Old Station sucked" talk. I get it for the first few days, but jesus.
  10. Most infuriating thing ever. Especially because Astros games aren't even on TV where I live in dallas
  11. I mean. They can't even flood Ukraine with Russian weapons...
  12. The fact that I (used to) get the mlb pass and I can't stream the Rangers or Astros at home... Fuck MLB.
  13. Three fried eggs with Frank's. Tots with herdez. Triscuits with cheese wiz. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk
  14. 100% agree. Those arm sales to Saudi Arabia can got to the Ukraine.
  15. Our garage is converted into my office. I had one of those cheap rubbermaid sheds to hold the lawnmower and lawn stuff. But anytime there is a major storm, I wind up needing to fix it. Want to get a decent "real" one. Nothing real fancy. Needs to hold a walk behind mower and your typical tools. Probably 8'8' or so?? I looked at Home Depot. Looks like about $2,500 for what I want. Anyone got any advice? And I live in Allen, about 20 miles north of Dallas, if that matters
  16. Can someone explain what the hybrid drive system is?
  17. So you lost money. Then did your taxes wrong..... I don't think you're as good at finances as you think you are...... just kidding. That happened to me with Etrade. I sold something at a loss a few years ago, but e trade only uploaded the sale, but not the original purchase price to Turbo Tax. Wound up having to hire a CPA to figure it out.
  18. Unfortunately, the Russians will probably learn from their mistakes...... Oh wait.....
  19. [Morgan Freeman Voice]They do[/Morgan Freeman Voice] I usually start doing my taxes when I get my first W2 or whatever. Then do them over the 6 weeks as I get more paperwork in. Turbo Tax emails me all the time. If you owe less that a couple of thousand dollars, it won't be a big deal.
  20. Yeah, I'm sure it will be better when it's just show people and not 6 people talking over each other, but that was annoying
