  1. Just lit the Chiminea. Sat outside for 30 mins in front of it. Glad my gloves can hold off a cold beer. It is cold. But what a beautiful sky. Clear, gorgeous stars. Almost brought out the telescope and said nah, going to warm up and then come back out.
  2. Nah, we would have recommended him. We love dumpster fires, couch burning, etc. Plus makes tOSU less relevant, a win for Texas going into the playoff era.
  3. So is she going to mow her own lawn(s)? What else did Trump promise her? To fix her pig feet and ankles?
  4. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
  5. Maybe, or we could try something different. Yemen has always been a failed state. Armed backed development works if we do not upset cultural norms. Saudi's and the UAE just attacked and killed a ton of people. I would take the port, secure it, and push in humanitarian assistance. We have tried this before but we do not coordinate well. Bring in a third country, say Rwanda to run convoy escort. Incorporate the Use US assets as oversight, command and control and a hammer. I know this sounds like Somalia, but we should have stayed and been smarter. Blackhawk Down is an anomally, not a norm. Oh, and the same for Haiti. We sit in barracks, pay a ton to the "UN Allies" and try to change nations to look like us. It was a major issue in Afghanistan. Maybe we need a thread about this. So back to Yemen. There is more than just the Houthis. Look up the reports on famine, health, etc. Neither group gives zero fucks about the population.
  6. UAE... If you are from the right tribe, no worries. In the neighborhood I lived in expats would comment why a lot of the houses were not finished. Reason? Well you don't pay taxes until they are finished. So the plans say 3 stories, well just don't build the third. Also, if you are a minor member of the ruling family in Dubai your credit is paid off. Yep, by a new BMW, get a flat in Chelsea? No worries, be nice to the Sheik and your bills get covered. Does not apply to everyone, but from second cousins out it does.
  7. WTF did I just read? And yes, I hate it. Companies are using it in proposals and it sucks. Still spend almost the same hours to review, edit, etc. I don't write anymore, just on the strategy and review side, but I see the decrease in good documents. Dear AI, please develop an aquaculture program for country X. No one wants to read the shit it produces. But yet, a few clients are embracing it, cutting back on their teams, not realizing their product suffers and they are probably paying the same.
  8. He can pay them off. "fuck with me, no Mecca." His tightrope is more with the people who don't get paid off but kind of do all the shit in the country. Ya know, like the military. The Wahabbis loved when KSA attacked Yemen. He can appease them by declaring a holy war to defend Mecca and Medina. I mean, they hate the Shia more.
  9. Nah, one of the annoying chicks.
  10. DIL has one. I hate taking care of it. Lies on the couch like it is the queen and bitches at all dogs. The Mali and my mutt want to play? Nope, she has to jump in, steal the tennis ball and proceed to eat it. The big pups put up with her shit, but you know they want to fuck her up. And to make it worse... She is named after someone from Friends. Fuck that show. Fuck Corgis.
  11. Good try, but we need a fabrication play by play if you want to be in contention for best post with Pool Pump Shed. I mean schematics (in MS Paint), cost break outs, etc. You got this. We have faith.
  12. The Talib's won't do shit. There are too many Afghan's in Iran and it is one of the last trade routes for them. If anything they scare Iran already. LOL, imagine if the US used the Talibs as a fifth column in Iran. Hey Taliban, we got $6B sitting in Qatar. You all want it? Well here is what we need. They did take over the Iranian consulate in Herat (maybe Mazar) and kill some people. Iran cannot also invade the Shia areas of Afghanistan and risk a larger Sunni insurgency in the SE of Iran. Yep, its a shit show.
  13. I thought Wagner got an IL-22. Either way fuck em.
  14. Can be rented for 250, 400 for two. We need that for a night game tailgate!
  15. So a DT "My trip is borked" thread? I got a few I can contribute. Some good, some bad, but all fun.
  16. So we need a Surly signal like the bat signal? A longhorn projected into the clouds.
  17. Also this. Seems like Iran is going after anyone they want to. ISLAMABAD (AP) — Iran launched attacks Tuesday in Pakistan targeting what it described as bases for the militant group Jaish al-Adl, potentially further raising tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Pakistan said the strikes killed two children and wounded three others in an assault it described as an “unprovoked violation” of its airspace. Confusion followed the announcement from Iran as state media reports on it soon disappeared. However, the attack inside of nuclear-armed Pakistan by Iran threatens the relations between the two countries, which long have eyed each other with suspicion while maintaining diplomatic relations. https://apnews.com/article/iran-iraq-militant-bases-attack-05c7530d66fb05dd6f2868527003ba2d
  18. Thoughts on the Greek ship getting hit today off Yemen? Notice they are not shooting at Israel anymore? So their justification seems a bit weak. Houti=aggy of the middle east.
  19. From ESPN's article on it. Might need to roll one up and reread it. "Few athletics directors have established such an impressive and strong record of success in athletics, in the classroom and throughout the community," Carter said in a statement. "The bar is incredibly high at Ohio State, and we have found in Ross a highly intelligent and effective leader -- not to mention a fierce competitor." https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39323088/ohio-state-hires-ross-bjork-texas-new-ad That said, it is just another fucked day for aggy. Anyone monitoring TexAgs?
  20. Right there with you. My Dad was also a mustang. Received a battlefield commission in Vietnam and went on to do three more tours. We spend a lot of time and effort on building an NCO Corps. So do our allies. And yeah, Russia still using WW2 tactics of mass charges just with more modern weapons (some at least!) and hoping they can win by wearing down the enemy.
  21. Night crew. Still cold as shit out there.
