  1. Um, it also ties into their relations, quite strained, with India. That is where a lot of students come from. Talk to my kiddos Kurdish boyfriend about living in DC. Talk to the average Longhorn about rent. "It isn't immigrants that raised interest rates, but volume is volume and it's something that we need to look at," he said in an interview with CBC, Canada's public broadcaster. From the article. So maybe more universities up north? University of BANNF. The Elk. Would suck at baseball, but damn imagine that hockey team.
  2. Oh, and we do things like this. @YGIFS Don't forget your mittens.
  3. We watch and have jobs so we are awake when most are sitting in line at Starbucks and bitching about rush hour. Shit, my shift is done. Work wise. Three conference calls, lots of writing. My wife makes breakfast when I heat up my dinner. Yeah, we do...
  4. So the start? Little shit. Read Russian history pre-Lenin. Social media footage showed supporters of Fail Alsynov clashing with police - some throwing snowballs - near the court in the town of Baymak. Alsynov was jailed for inciting ethnic hatred, which he denies. Large protests in Russia are extremely rare because of the risk of arrest. Some reports say there are a few thousand people at the demonstration, which has been going on for several days in temperatures of around -20C, and there are reports of several injured. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68006123
  5. Texans over Ravens. Niners win. Lions (Fuck Mayfield) Toss up, think the Bills pull it off
  6. Been a Mac dude for about 12 years. Client mandated I move back to PC. Yeah, its easier. So now I use my mac to stream sports and watch porn. But relearning a new system sucks ass. And agree about Iphone and Ipad. Lenovo tablet they gave me I use for PUBG when bored.
  7. Could you imagine if we lost an EWAC? Or the Navy's E-2? Hell to pay. In Russia I bet the AF commander is sent to a penis (yeah I wrote it that way) Battalion. Russia's C&C is like aggy getting a football coach. Pay way to much for the first, then go to the third line. At least Jimbo got paid. Bet the Russian General slips on some windex and falls a few stories.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. So is she going to mow her own lawn(s)? What else did Trump promise her? To fix her pig feet and ankles?
  11. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Nah, one of the annoying chicks.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
