  1. Yet another example of Russia striking civilian targets 100s of miles/kilometers from the front lines. At some point, we need to have a level playing field and give Ukraine the ability to hit targets 100s of miles/kilometers from the front lines as well. I can't recommend hitting civilian targets (but then again, my home isn't being leveled either) - but there are plenty of military targets within that range. Russia doesn't seem to think of their actions as escalation...and it is beyond time for them to get to the FO phase of this particular FA.
  2. I think he has matured a lot (or has had a lot of PR training) in making most of his public comments. But, at a tactical level, he does this in damn near every race... "These are not the right tires guys..." "We've got the wrong strategy guys..." He calls this stuff out so often, you'd think he was driving a Ferrari.
  3. I got to a point where I needed to get a new battery and a new blade on my cheap model Ryobi mower...and for 'just a few dollars more', I picked up a whole *new* cheap model Ryobi mower. Now I use the old one (which *still* hasn't died) to mow the greenbelt behind the fence. Allegedly.
  4. "...never lie, cheat, or steal." UNLESS - you can litigate it long enough for people to get tired of it. Or you can imply - or straight out claim - that others are doing it too. Or you think you can get away with it. Or if it makes your school look good - or, of course, if it makes those "durn 'sips" look bad.
  5. Is there someplace local (to Round Rock) I can find a simple, 48", corrugated metal fire ring? Something like this: https://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/fire-pits-outdoor-heating/backyard-creations-reg-galvanized-steel-fire-ring/dc15-17580/p-1471355310489.htm
  6. "tu" claims this..."tu" wants that"..."tu" thinks this..."tu" believes that. I'm curious...*who* are they talking about when they say this? Do we have an official spokesperson that shares all of these things we claim/want/think/believe? Does that person take a poll to get input from the rest of us? I must have missed it somewhere...
  7. yep. yep. This is exactly the right thread for that. holy shit!
  8. Given how much this ref has let them "play"...getting this ugly isn't a surprise. Ridiculous that a full speed shoulder check is ok, but a shoulder shove that slips off and hits the face is a "certain red card" according to these announcers. I hope the second half is more in control...and that we can finally break through. Also, wish that Thiago was 10 years younger...
  9. This shit right here. As someone else in this thread has said many times, "when someone tells you who they are, you believe them". Russia has already made known their desire to "reclaim" the lands of the Soviet Union. Pacifying pussy Putin won't produce peace.
  10. No, I did not eat the pink highlighter...but can you throw this ball for us?
  11. Yeah, this conversation led me down a deep rabbit hole. 100 warheads would create a worldwide disaster. A nasty spiral of death, nuclear autumn/winter, starvation, and chaos. Would the US society collapse...? I'd say there would be a high likelihood as time went by. And I'm sure if Russia launched 1000 and only 100 actually hit/detonated, we would still send 1000+ back their way - and ours (we are assuming) would be a little more reliable. 1000 warheads detonating across the world would be a much worse scenario. But, regardless, we simply can't let Russia hold the world hostage with this threat. They cannot be allowed to trample their neighbors with impunity simply because they are a nuclear power. If they are allowed to do that, then the unrest in a world like that would still lead us to that all-out war, eventually.
  12. While I don't think sending F-16s is really suitable, I do think it is (past) time to send ATACMS. I actually hope we are giving them ATACMS without announcing it, and just giving them a good enough stockpile to really fuck some shit up before Russia realizes that their safe zone has contracted significantly.
  13. My favorite part is they can't even comprehend that they are bad at it. "We're doing a terrible job at promoting our situation."????!!! Promotion isn't actually their problem...the problem is that their situation *is* terrible...and anyone smart enough to promote it, probably realizes that they shouldn't.
  14. I've been in central Texas for 30 years and spent a total of ~30 minutes in B/CS. Bought a used fender for a '72 Charger sometime in the mid-90's and picked it up there. Zero desire to ever go back, thank you.
  15. And, they stole him from "TU"(El Paso)!!!!
  16. Necro-bump. Decided to revive my old HPI Nitro over this past long weekend. Instead, I snapped off the fuel inlet on the carb while trying to change out the fuel line. Guess I'm really diving back in and looking for parts for this thing...
  17. And instead of learning & growing from the experience and holding anyone accountable, they will instead celebrate the sacrifice of those lost.
  18. Same here, except growing up in NM. We paid for the family plan because the kids wanted to try learning some new languages. I'm diving into Spanish, but my crazy teenage son is deep into Mandarin now.
  19. Why the fuck do I keep seeing advertisements for ATM's law school? And not even for a law degree, just some related shit to support the big money guys/girls. As soon as I hear the music for that stupid thing I'm skipping/changing.
  20. Ugh - thanks for the link. Like the effort, but he knew he fucked up right away...
  21. Can't watch at the moment...Felix's red justified?
  22. RIP. Agreed with the above - he was the original GOAT...
  23. A) your avatar is incredible B) Agreed with Dry Elbows, above. Not sure if this is your first brisket, or just your first on a pellet grill. I like Aaron Franklin's brisket vids on youtube, if you're new to brisket in general. Congrats on the new toy!
