  1. The crazies and olds keep the conservative news channels humming...for now. And CNN has moved right to try and keep up. But eventually 24 hour news channels are gonna die off.
  2. Yep, the ideal way to use Texas climate is to barrel finish here. What could take a couple of years in Kentucky/Indiana will only take 2-5 months in Texas.
  3. It feels like all the Texas distillers would agree that any barrels aged for more than 5 years here would almost be undrinkable.
  4. I've only had the Still Austin musician and find it quite boring. Congrats to them for making a drinkable Texas distillate, but IMO there is no complexity or memorable tasting notes. Value isn't there either.
  5. All of this. I also think using a firearm makes the killing impersonal and easier to follow through with.
  6. Cool, another lockdown at Lamar High School today.
  7. MGP is buying Penelope for $105 million. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/05/08/2663354/0/en/MGP-Ingredients-to-Acquire-Penelope-Bourbon.html
  8. It's incredibly frustrating to see the arguments and desire to profile every mass shooter in order to make an entirely different political argument. It doesn't matter if a gunman is a transsexual leftist or a neo-Nazi Trump lover. Labeling people and trying to dig for personal motives is pointless and gets us nowhere. Frankly, this is what pro-gun people want. To muddy the waters and deflect from the main issue. And we all fall for it every time. This is simply about a hugely populated society that cannot safely co-exist with blatant and easy gun ownership. Let's not complicate things.
  9. A a life long Houston sports fan that has generally despised the Texans, I thought they did very well last night. - Brand new coaching staff gets their no doubt starting QB for the next 4+ years and a defensive centerpiece that most likely will be a future Captain. DeMeco got his guy. - Diehard fans will be super excited and have hope for the first time in a while. The most important pieces (coaching staff and QB) have been chosen. - They still have CLE's 1st rounder next year - The tanking is now officially over. If HOU passed on a QB this year, the staff/team are in purgatory again next season as the speculation for 2024 QB draft would dominate the off the field commentary. Now they can just focus on being competitive and winning.
  10. I don't think that's the particular issue with Bardstown right now. The "problem" is they are shelving almost their entire lineup at Spec's. There aren't one or two options. Closer to 8 or 9. Most in the $125-150 range. Which one do i pick? I'm not spending over $1000 to get them all. Starting to notice whiskey brands mimicking the vodka world by offering too many products in order to dominate the shelf space. IMO it's not a well thought out plan. A year or two ago, I would just by the newest Disco they dropped if I saw it on a shelf. Now I don't know what the hell to do.
  11. While the NFL pre-draft mocks and chatter are fun, you have to pretty much believe none of it these days. Too many ulterior motives at play whether it's an agent playing games or sportswriters throwing out crazy mocks just for clicks/views.
  12. Yeah, it'a nice Spec's. And not too picked over right now. They have more "desired" bottles available right now compared to other non-Smith St. locations.
  13. Elon bootlickers and Trumpers are very similar. Musk and Trump? These. People. Are. Not. Your. Friends. They don't give a shit about you. They don't think about you. They will run you over. If you want some inspiration look to one of your friends or a family member.
  14. UPDATE: Someone called 911 as they saw a suspect on front lawn of Lamar High School that *looked* like he was carrying a "machine gun". The suspect ran away and police are searching the area. School went on soft lockdown after being alerted about 911 call. EDIT: Lockdown is now over.
  15. UPDATE: Precautionary lockdown and everyone is currently safe. Looks like threats were maybe called in?
  16. My son's pre-school near Lamar has been texting updates.
  17. Lockdown at Lamar High School in Houston today. Surrounding schools doing a lock-in. Just another Wednesday in 2023. Fuck this shit.
  18. I get not taking a RB early, but any team that thinks they could be a Super Bowl contender next year should consider taking Bijan in the 1st if the carries/touches are there. Simple as that.

    LBGTQ

    Those questions should be discussed between the kid, parents, and their doctors. It's nobody else's business.

    LBGTQ

    I have a different way of looking at it. Since the beginnings of our species, there are people that deep down identified as the opposite sex. None of this is new. It's been around forever. What's new is openly discussing it and the rise of people being able to make their transitions successfully. A good parent raises their child. They listen to their child. They trust their child. I get that it can be very difficult for a parent to go through a transition process, but how fucking hard do you think it is for the kid??? Its. Not. About. You. We all have our secrets. I have incredible respect for people that are brave enough to truly find and be themselves. The freedom and self-empowerment that we all should be striving for.

    I have an Iranian uncle that transitioned sometime back in the early 80's. That side of my family loves him dearly, they don't really talk about it, and it's hard to get much info. He lives in Virginia and I rarely see him but I know he's very happy. But the fucking GUTS it took for him to do that back then. Especially as an Iranian. I've always admired him.
