    My old man and I did IAH-SYD nonstop (17.5 hours) in November 19 for a long weekend to say that we did and to pub crawl with some coworkers from Melbourne and Sydney. 
     

    Well timed because then Covid happened. 
     

    For some reason I even decided to watch garbage football down there.

    The rocks!

    * right behind the bridge is that amusement park with the really large clown face overlooking the harbor you can see for miles. 

    i dont know why but that fucking thing still shows up in my nightmares. Weird.

    The highlight of their stadium this past season was a grackle. How soon do they forget.

    Wandering bird steals the show at Kyle Field as crowd erupts


    Im sorry if this has been covered but we as Texans can agree, that’s a fucking sickly looking Grackle, right?

    I’ve watched those things dive and attack chicks on campus and while frightening to few and hilarious to many, those things looked fairly healthy. That thing looks like a roadrunner fucked a pigeon with the unfortunate offspring then developing cancer.   

    *dammit, I just zoomed in and noticed it was a juvenile. Welp. Fuck me.

    Fucking amen.

     

    We talk a lot of shit about the Russians because we have a sort of rivalry relationship almost like UT versus OU. But when you get brought down to brass tacks Russian sare an extremely proud culture/group of people..

    The soldiers in That brigade would fight to the death if the cause were actually for their country and not some little PP man child’s ego.

    That’s definitely a hole in the levee.

    I'm curious about something.   If the Russians targeted Pantex, what would the fallout be like throughout the Southwest and Midwest?

    Depends on what they hit it with and if the explosion is meant to penetrate the ground where the fissile material is. Most nukes detonate above the ground to maximize the damage created by merging shock waves. This is rough on surface targets but if you’re adequately deep, things should be kept from the open air and mixing rising with the mushroom cloud adding to fallout.

    But to answer your question, i would say it probably wouldn’t reach south Texas, but who cares because they have a mussel with Ft. Hood and San Antonio’s name on it.

    Zelensky staying alive each night becomes more and more important.  If they get to him I think the opposition starts to crumble

    I don’t know, he might become a type of national martyr that drives the opposition forward- if there’s adequate leadership that fills his void. That’s a big “if”

    Zelensky is utterly destroying Putin in the PR game.

    One the one hand good for them, on the other that definitely going to deeply piss that narcissistic sociopath off.

    He’s going to be brutal so he appears strong then deflect blame and say the Ukrainians brought this on themselves.

    Fucking prick.

    1234.  My wife is not that much younger than me, but she does not remember that stuff.  Those of us who remember the duck and cover bullshit, The Day After, World War III (the mini-series with Cathy Lee Crosby and Starsky or Hutch).

    She remembers Red Dawn, but watched it years later because of who was in it.

     

    Fuck yes. World War III was central to my childhood.

    Well my family’s place has been offered (no joke if that goes down.) doesn’t matter if you don’t like me. It’s there if that goes down. It’s about 12 miles from Claude, Texas.

    Zero.

    Here's the real question I have given their communications issue--if Putin were to give the order to launch, might we not know before the launch commanders?


    right and with unsecured communication, launch commanders would in all likelihood need to get verification and validation of the order giving everyone else quite a bit of additional time. 

    Jeezus. If Russia were a Resturant it would be a one star Arbys

    Neither Hitler nor Stalin -- who pulled down some amazing churches to put the institution in its place -- destroyed it. Why on earth would Putin?

    Stalin didn’t pull down churches, he just left them in ruins after the war (*in his newly occupied territory). I can’t speak for the ‘why’ of what Putin may do, but i would imagine if he did, it would be to express power.
    In this case, I think it’s more likely that, say, Ukrainian defenders might have used churches as safe havens for military operations like resistance Iraqis, Taliban and Isis fighter. It’s frustrating AF because those are no go targets and against the rules. 
    Given what we’ve seen, I would suspect Russians don’t give a fuck and are engaging combatants in those places leading to the reports. At least, that’s what I suspect at this time.

    maybe its useful propaganda, it may just be the fog of war and misinformation from word of mouth or for real atrocities. I don’t think it really matters which at this particular point in the fighting.

    Come on, people, learn to recognize propaganda when you see it.

    We’ll see how things play out but the important thing here is that absolutely no on doubts that’s something he might do. 

    Putin might absolutely knock down the Alamo out of spite in your hypothetical.  Whether he does or not doesn’t really matter in this context. It’s kinda splitting hairs when there’s video of your forces blowing up apartments at your order.

    Got to hand it to Nicole. She has survived two preemptive tactical nuke strikes. Her response was kept conventional and defensive only and she continues to fight. How does she survive this? If she were to fall does she resort to carpet bombing the thread with nudes as a last resort?

    Ok @Nicole44, going to just shoot a pro tip your way.

    1. Go to a porn site with photos dirty guys post of their wives. 

    2. Find a pic with no face and close up of a set of boobs that are reasonably similar to yours.

    3. Screen shot said boobs.

    4. Take 1 or 2 respectable but risqué photos of yourself as a lead up.

    5. Post the set after much public lamentation and diatribe.

     

    After that, there with be a little rabble, probably some hypocritical slander, male chauvinism and to a smaller degree obsessive thirst.

    Then, we can all get on with our lives.

    I feel like that’s a complete miss on your part. If you don’t see anything ideological about this invasion you’re not looking very hard. 

    Oh, I agree with that point. The difference is this is just the will of a lunatic leader commanding people who have no real stake in the war and who by most accounts don’t fucking even want to be there at all. It’s a vanity production for a narcissistic megalomaniac.
    Those Russian soldiers are destroying religious temples sure, but the difference here is that some of the destroyers actually subscribe to the beliefs they represent. That’s a big yikes if I’m Putin.

    if you killed a leader of Isis, another one would step up to fight the holy war. If Putin died of a heart attack today at 1:00pm this war would most likely be over at 1:10pm.
