  1. 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...
  2. 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.
  3. No, I did not eat the pink highlighter...but can you throw this ball for us?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. And, they stole him from "TU"(El Paso)!!!!
  9. 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...
  10. And instead of learning & growing from the experience and holding anyone accountable, they will instead celebrate the sacrifice of those lost.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Ugh - thanks for the link. Like the effort, but he knew he fucked up right away...
  14. Can't watch at the moment...Felix's red justified?
  15. RIP. Agreed with the above - he was the original GOAT...
  16. 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!
  17. Glad to hear the boy is home. My mom was a kid in England when Germany was trying to reduce England to rubble. The juxtaposition of normal life going on with bombs/missiles falling from the sky is insane. Just having heard stories from her, it is ridiculous that we have to convince anyone that this has to be stopped.
  18. As my 2016 Silverado sits at 55k miles, this information does not please me...
  19. I go back to early thoughts (from some), that we needed to treat Putin as a "rational actor", and try to find ways for a peace he would accept. In those early days, many thought Russia's military power was going to overwhelm Ukraine, and we had to somehow do all we could to prevent a human tragedy. We've already failed in that goal. Once it was apparent that the Russian military was not going to just roll over Ukraine, focus shifted to making this crime too expensive to continue - to make the cost/risk not worth the ill-gotten gains for Russia. That hasn't worked either - and continues to cost the lives of Ukraine. It is time for another focus shift. As others have discussed above, Russia's/Putin's end goal has not changed. And the cost does not seem to matter. Whether it is perception, power, people, or natural resources, we are not going to be able to "convince" Russia to change their objective. So now we have to remove their ability to pursue that objective. Accelerate the ongoing destruction of the Russian conventional military force. Remove their capability to invade any more of their neighbors. Send ATACMS. Send more Patriot batteries and more anti-drone systems. Help send more Russian warships to the bottom of the sea. Anything less means (even more) prolonged misery for Ukraine, and a repeat for some other country in a decade or so. I've moved on from "let us be careful not to start WWIII" to "let us make sure Russia can't keep raping it's neighbors".
  20. I feel like this could be the response for all of their screenshots, and a candidate for the title of this whole topic...
  21. Hook 'em!!!
  22. What a glorious fucking day!!
  23. Mostly this: https://www.angrybbq.com/best-dry-rub-for-ribs/, but double the brown sugar and coarse ground pepper (I prefer it over fine). 235 until 160 internal, then wrap and finish at 250.
