You can only imagine how great she is in all the other aspects i don't bitch about in this thread. On second thought, stop imagining that.

You've got a really efficient scarecrow factory going there, pumping out strawman after strawman.

There are two things my wife has never thrown away in her life: Those fucking plastic tags- i always find them on the floor after she gets home with clothes. And the produce stickers on fruit- she...

Gonna need someone to translate for me... so how many grams of cubensis should i be taking on my summer morning alpine hikes to age gracefully? Currently pretty happy with ~1.5g.

By saying their best weapon and best bet against america is essentially the same as what a couple rednecks with a truck and two ARs managed to do in 2022? IMO, thats not really holding iran's power...

Cannot agree more. Id go back to Chamonix if in the area. Courmayuer is somewhere i want to go back to as often as possible... the highlight of our trip to Chamonix was the 2 days we spent in...

Personally, i think that JD is just playing maga as he saw his opportunity and took it. He and his wife are no dummies and i think they both are fully using thiel/maga/trump to achieve their...

The best spokesman for the Ayatollah you can think of is a guy who loudly cheered the bombing of iran's nuclear facilities, and refers to hamas in scathing terms? You must not be thinking very hard....

The box is wide open and its all fair game now. FPV drone trucks changed the game and we can no longer rely on our comparative geographic isolation and vastly superior fire power to protect ourselved...

Yep, itd be tedious to talk about broad topics with a thin tip.

IME, living in HCOLA (Seattle and Bay Area), it is extremely common to renovate kitchens/bathrooms within a few years of move in...

thats because in most high COLA, you are selling/buying the land more than the structure itself. In desireable areas land is expensive, and permitting new housing is expensive and time/soul consuming...

To continue my blog on the cycling equivalent of a blue square Mountain Run back to the village at 3pm... On the way in this morning two road cyclists riding side-by-side in the bike lane so that the...

Yep. With a wife and kid and a <3% interest rate it made sense to buy a house in a great neighborhood and have that great situation locked down long term.

If i was single, or wanted more...

If you save $1k/month by renting (assuming rent is lower than mortgage, no maintenance/upkeep fees etc), and you invested in the S&P500, over the last 30 years you would have ~2.3million. Not a...

Lighten up francis, it was an obvious joke.

Ahhh, so if you work for Raytheon/Lockheed/GD/etc AND you voted MAGA you and your family should be fair game for preemptive military strikes.

Some might say that doesnt sound so bad.

WHo do you think is gonna fill the role of the senior level scientists? Next up! So, its really just attacking the military industrial complex&#39;s braintrust (and their families). Raytheon managers...

Shit the wife and kids of that middle manager for Lockheed better watch the fuck out!!!

Eh, my takes arent really off the deepend. Just pointing out that you and a few others seem all to content to gloss over the morality of recent military/government actions becasue its easier to just...

And did the iranian scientist who were killed give orders to kill the americans or israelis? Did they carry out attacks to kill americans or israelis? Were they member of the active duty military...

kinda wild how A-OK everyone is with killing iran's top scientists and their families. Imagine if the lead thinkers at boeing, lockheed, raytheon, general dynamics had bombs dropped on their house...

^ oh shit, i just read the bottom of the blog. 10) at the end of the disaster proudly proclaim things like:

I think my theoretical route plan actually worked quite well.

I do think we&#39;ll...

^^^ holy moly. I want to give benefit of the doubt to folks because no one was dialed their first few times stepping into bigger terrain (bigger being subjective each time), and the guys who...

Similarly, the police standoff with the drunken husband holding his wife and kids at gunpoint could end today if he simply put down his weapon. Meanwhile, the police keep firing on the house and...

Could be. And factually pootin has only been PM for 5 years... true story.

But, then again maybe i am looking at the reality of the situation, just like the reality that Bibi has been either...

If youre the Hatfields, do you just shoot the McCoys of age, or do you also burn the nursery down too? Israel seems all too content to just light the whole house on fire and watch them all die......

Never compared him to hitler or pol pot. And frankly, putin isnt in the same category as pol pot or hitler.

What other recent leader, has been in power for 30 years, has significant sway on the...

There is a main arterial with two lanes in each direction, and a center left turn bay that is signalized (so 5 lanes wide). This light and the left turn lane gets backed up around rush hour, and...

Do you think its good for a world leader (with a history of wars) to remain in power for 30 years? I certainly don&#39;t. Russia and Israel are both top 5 most influential countries in the world, and...

Remove the THE from that sentence and thats something we can all agree on.

To continue the theme...

When dispersed camping, taking a great big clean dump, with your cup of fruitbomb pourover on one side, your dog watching gaurd on the other, and a great mountain view...

Apparently free soloing in the snow/wet wasnt enough for this guy... he pioneerd free solo headfirst downclimbing. You read that right.

&ldquo;There&rsquo;s little beauty downclimbing feet...

When are Bibi and Pootin gonna die already? Feels like theyve been running things for the whole post-cold war era. Thats far too long for any 1 person to be in power. Apparetnly hamas and Israel...

what kind of dark magic are you using to post pictures!?!?!?

Maybe its because im still relatively young, but the money i make (or lose) in my self managed brokerage just feels so abstract and not actually connected to the real world. Feels like the money in...

Thats my parents. The spent their whole lives being extremely frugal and saving more and more for a rainy day whenever that may be, and that mindset of save and hoard has carried through to...

Lol, there have been a bunch of times a bust on the original survey caused my civil plans to be wrong once the contractor triedto build it. Good surveyors are worth their weight in gold... there...

Hopefully all of them. Just make sure theyre noted on the survey when it gets passed along to me. Don&#39;t want their bones getting confused with indigenous artifacts and triggering a cultural...

Nope. But, like i alluded to earlier, my surveyor buddies have had enough run-ins with methheads and bundys over the years to carry personal protection when working in areas with those kind of...

Its fairly common for late bloomers to develop at a JC/CC and either get drafted or move on to a top D1 program in Baseball. Similarly, there are lots of kids with shit homelives that do crappy in...

Question for you wildland firefighters:I know a few surveyors who carry a pistol when out in the boonies, do any wildland firefighters carry to protect against meth heads, bundys, or bears?

College is still a wonderful investment and is fairly straightforward to do in a financially responsible way. Encouraging kids who have no direction, or college fund to go to expensive private/out...

I think there are two truths here:

1) the shooter was fucked up in the head. there is no sane, logical reason to do what he did.

2) if you treat trump and the whitehouse as a religous...

I honestly do not understand this take. DPRK has a population divorced from reality for over 50 years and is led by a god whorshipped by all. Iran is led by religous clerics who have significant...

Shooter was sick in the head. Even if he was AN, shooting current fire fighters, over a slight from 24 years ago makes no sense as 1.5 generations of FF have passed through since. This doesnt sound...

If youre on a bike riding on the shoulder, and all cars are to the left of you, what does signaling a right turn accomplish? Honestly, id be a little afraid of a driver thinking it was OK to turn...

Its a defensive weapon, so that they can go on the offensive with its proxy groups without the risk of significant blowback on its own territory/regime. In effect, having a nuke pretty much...

1000% yes! Just gimme a big bold point for 5 seconds before your turn and the message is unmistakable no matter what language you speak, or country youre from.

The question you should be asking is What Does Having a Nuke Do For Iran? The answer is that it would likely prevent further attacks on Iranian soil, and it would put the fear of the creator into...

My wife cant stand babies/children crying. Says its a maternal thing. I dont have the same issue and can block it out easily. I also have flown with my kid enough that as long as the parents are...
