  1. My wife applied for a job down there. I wanted her to get it so bad. Just to live on the coast for a few years, write, fish. It is a cool town and still not overgrown. I was not born in Texas. Dad is, but with his military service we never lived here. Came to go to UT and never minded one bit. Now I want out. Not sure where, but pretty sure it is time to go. Had a chance pre-covid to head to Africa but stayed due to my dad. Glad I did and will stay while he is still kicking.
  2. The Surrender at Yorktown and Goliad for the US. Rome during the age of the Emperors. The Sokoto Caliphate (did they really sail to Brazil?). Copan at its heyday for international. Sports- Pele in any world cup.
  3. Superglue on the air valve.
  4. Dont matter man. I will not be like the Russians and Serbs. And we should not fund a nation that will.
  5. When a hospital is hit it is a war crime. That is pretty well known.
  6. Perhaps it needs a new definition.
  7. I don't like cardamon. The Cubans invented the best coffee. A Cortado.
  8. I know that and fuck them. This is war crimes live in our face. I won't call it genocide yet. But lets remember how the Arabs treat the Palestinians. Great for the leaders, sucks for the herder/nurse/refugee.
  9. Cite your source. what about the Saudis? Bro, no one like what is happening. But lets be honest. Hamas is not a nice group.
  10. Dad and my wife are just north of there. Moved south but sounds like Anna got hit with some real storms. So is this was we get tomorrow in Austin?
  11. Yep, dad lives up there. Pretty damn rough he said
  12. We are funding both. The $ we give the Gulf states to offset their security allows them to fund fun groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Talibs, etc.
  13. Can you all take your hot takes to the CR? DT is for news. We are doing a good job on the Ukraine thread. Can we keep that up here?
  14. And Bosnia, and covered the Sahel for us so we could keep up actions in other places. I worked with the French. Damn good operators. Better them than the Germans. Plus the rations are kick ass.
  15. yep. I anticipate DRC collapses even further in the next 5 years. The key is can Rwanda hold it together under Kagame and when he dies what happens next. Back to Haiti. The call for an international force is BS. They won't do shit. Who ever is planning this does not know that side of the Island. PaP is toast. Need to secure Cap Hatien and Jacmel.
  16. Yep, exactly. No Latin American nation will back them up. I like Haiti. The food is good, home to my favorite rum, and people are pretty nice considering their lot in life.
  17. I did not say you should go. I said there are nice places. I am not going in. If anything maybe the Dominican Republic to monitor and support. Hell, I don't know anyone going in. Even the Church is pulling people out. The reasons for Haiti's failure are many. It truly is a failed state and I do not think you can just blame the French. Not one of our interventions, and there have been a few, resulted in meaningful change. The UN deployment was a shsit show. Not only did they do little, they brought in Cholera. Concerning the planned deployment of international police. They are going to get hammered in the slums if they try and go in. And they have to. I expect a mass exodus and already seeing reports we might use Gitmo to house them.
  18. Flew on those a lot overseas. Nice plane. But long haul? Give me a 777 Worst flight of my life was going into Nepal. 747, Phuket Air. Me and the boss were the only two up in business. It was a worker flight. Time to bring back Amtrak.
  19. The revolt within Russia will start from the Captains down. They are the ones, and their families, that will feel the economic issues.
  20. Fuck Airbus. I am over 6 feet tall. Used to do the Dubai-JFK run twice a month once it opened. Did it a few times and said fuck this, went via Heathrow to DFW on 777's. This pisses me off.
  21. I mean why? I was there for Texas (HS) Science fair and it was a debacle.
  22. This could be one of the dumbest desicions in sports. How many hotel room does Collie Station have? Just like the eclipse, I have to see it. Yo, CDC, why not in Austin?
  23. Make sure we take swords.
