    Antifa is an ideology, Phil. This is no different than if an AG under a democratic president said “Yeah we’re gonna be killing conservatives.”

    And weird that Democrats are referred to as both Fascists and Anti-Fascist at the same time.

  2. The title made me think it was a Jason Statham movie.  Ex-military turned roofer out for revenge because the daughter of someone on his crew was murdered or kidnapped.  And it would get my money.

    But agree, this looks pretty fun.

  3. Sweetwater is where we make our first stop on our annual summer trip from Austin to Crested Butte.

    There's a place called AM Donuts at the intersection of I20 and whatever the main road is coming north into town. The people running it couldn't be any nicer. We load up on Kolaches, donut holes, and/or breakfast sandwiches to have for the entire trip. They usually throw in several things for free when my kids have a hard time deciding what to get.

    That's a great story.  I assume somewhere near central Austin given the age?

    I think I'd classify it as Tarrytown, but I don't exactly know the Tarrytown borders.

    It's a really nice stone house

  5. If Delta starts an AUS to SJC Nerd Bird route, I'll switch 100% of my travel to them.  I've had really good experiences the couple times I've flown on them recently to Seattle.

    Currently I do SWA for the SJC trips and United partners to and through Europe, but that's mainly because of my legacy United status and the fact there are a lot of route options with no more than 1 stop to get to/from most cities in Europe (FRA direct, or connect through EWR, IAH, ORD, IAD, or even DEN if I'm desperate enough).  But if there is SJC flight, that would be Bay Area, Seattle, and easy flights to Europe.

    you snap it before the 2 minute warning in case you don't convert.  that was a mistake.

    Not a Cowboys fan. I have no dog in this fight.

    But your post was the entire problem with the drive. They played like the goal was to give the ball back to Philly ASAP and then get the ball back as quickly as possible. They had 3 minutes and 3 time outs, and ran 7 straight passes in hurry up offense.  Just stupid strategy.

    @Wiler77 any thoughts?

    Not sure I'm much of an expert on this topic given that I've only visited Italy twice on vacation. But I do have 3 kids, and the thought of taking my two oldest when they were 4 and 2 years old makes me say

    They won't remember it.  You want to hike and see historical shit, both of which will be limited with kids.  You'll immediately want to go back because of all the shit you missed.  Taking my kids on an international trip at that age would not have been a consideration for me.  Are grandparents or aunts/uncles not an option to leave them with?

    As for my trips to Italy...I fucking love Rome. History on every corner. We only spent 3 days in Florence, but loved it.  Last trip we took was in 2019, and we did 5 days on the Amalfi Coast. Simply incredible, but the trip we did would not be possible with kids aged 4 and 2.  Day trips to Pompeii and Capri, Hike of the Gods to a Michelin star lunch and sex with wife in abandoned farmhouse on way back. Great trip.  But with toddlers?
