"Texas has one of the strongest 'Stand Your Ground' laws of self-defence that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney," Governor Abbott said in a statement, referring to Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, a Democrat.

That MFer should get a toe chopped off his good leg for being an bad person.

“I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” Justice Alito said in an emailed statement to The Times. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”

Maybe Mrs Alito was distressed, in fear for her life

They should have booted his Trump-loving ass and threw his bitch in jail.  This country needed strong language to show rule breakers don't get any slack in this freedom-loving government of ours.

The thing that pisses me off so much about guys like Abbott and John Cornyn (senator) is that I don't think they're true believers. They know better and STILL choose to be garbage humans.
i’ll agree with you on Cornyn but Abbott has bought in fully .

You got to be a low self-esteemed person to let a gimp run your state with no remorse.

I bet those little floppy eared freaks could clear a rock wall.

All I see are small steaks.  :drool:

I discovered yesterday that Russia is the largest country in the world.  Not China or Africa.  Amazingly, those greedy MFers want more land.

I agree. This seems like a true hobby project.

Guys... LFBIQ here but isn't Arrowhead a little small for an SEC stadium?  That's got to be an immense amount of pressure on our friends.  :-(

Vanderbilt has only 40,300 seat capacity.

My dad and fellow farmer always said a good man could quarry and lay a rod (16.5 ft) of rock wall in a day.

i can make no claim to being a good man, but that seems like an impossible amount of physical labor to complete in a day.

Shoot. I could lay a rod in a day easily.

Whoa, this is a family blog.  :surprised:

Looks like something one would dig out of the '90s closet.

The scenario is SEC grabs UC, UNC, UVA, and KU.  This is very hard to believe since Duke is UNC's revelry and doesn't come with the 85 million exit fee and Big XII GOR.

Free range/ bush cattle would hop over that wall without looking back.  We rented pasture to feedlots that brought in grass calves from federal land every spring and loaded them up in early fall.  We have hedge posts every 10 ft w/twiss on stays 3.5 ft apart on very tight 5 wire bared fence.  It was five feet high and those wild MFers would jump over or break the fence if they got their heads in it.  All the farmers bordering us had cow/calf operations with very shitty three/four wire fences.  My job was to ride fence and make sure the windmills had the water tanks filled every fricking day.
Grass calves are yearlings weighing 450-600 lbs in their physical prime.  No doubt some of those wild af horny af steers would clear it with the smell of love immenating from the neighbors pasture.

These old girls are 5-7 years old at 1,400 lbs with a calf not likely to follow... part of the year, these gals are contained by a single hot wire.

We did get cattle from Mississippi for a time that had some "ear" on them.  Some of those wild boys would make a leap for it in the sorting pens.  Pretty sure we added a pipe or two in the alley to curtail the escapees.

We had around 300 acres for our cow/calf operation.  We didn't have problems keeping them in and our fences weren't anywhere near what we had for the free-range cattle.  We also shared a limestone fence with a neighbor that was around 600 feet long.  I don't know who or when it was built, but it was 3 wire with the posts around four ft. tall and basically maintenance-free.  :thumbsup:

It's really telling that SEC & big 10 have 5, Big XII has 4, and the lowly ACC only has two.  This doesn't look good for the ACC.

These mini cattle intrigue me.

Like, what is their purpose??

If I had a hobby farm and eff around money I'd put a couple on there depending how much they cost. My uncle is an IRL full time farmer/rancher and had like 5 mini ponies (They have made an appearance in this thread) that he just moved around small pens to eat weeds (Old pig pen/random 5 acre pen/junkyard). I think he originally had them to pull little carriages in parades when his kids were little and then they just hung around.

Also can't you get some tax exemptions if the land is classified as "Farmland"? Throw a couple of these bad boi's on there and all of a sudden your land is a "farm" and taxed less?

Not with horses.  Crops and cattle land do qualify.

Also, prepare for an ungodly number of Buc-ees billboards everywhere. Holy crap do they love billboards. They seem to have a decent ad agency, though. Some are pretty cheeky.
The number of people that wear branded merchandise from a rough ridin' gas station is a testament to their marketing.
Quiktrips merch is actually fire tho. https://quiktripshop.com/

Why the hell would I buy this crap?
So you can blend in with all the other tourists.

Is there a lot of QuikTrip tourism?

If they build one by the Racetrack off I-70, I won't be a tourist; more like a homer.

I wonder what kind of special treatment I'll get if I walk in wearing one of their overpriced hats?

My tbell lunch today was $14.65, maybe Gregg is stuck in the 80's?

You know they have $1 to $3 menu items.  I usually get the cravings box and it's less than half of whatever you bought today. :th_twocents:

It's not tough enough for a tat.  Besides that's almost as bad as inking a J-hawk on one's body.

ethanol free 91 at QT is the BITB

Definitely needed for small gas engines.  Ethanol plugs the crap out of valves and if left in your engine for over 6 months you're looking at shop time to clean this gluely crap from the carb.

One that seems to be going in the opposite direction of the norm:  Starbucks. 

They incentivize you to use their app via free crap every so often, birthday drinks, etc.  The app used to ask you, after every purchase, how much you would like to tip.  They took that function away a year or so ago.  So now, you pay with the app, but if you don't have cash(lol, what's that) their employees get no tip.  Kinda wild. 

I assume they found some legal reason to stop doing this and just took the option away before they got sued, but who knows.  Given the tip environment everywhere else, this one is a head scratcher.

when you are checking out on the starbucks app it has the total at the bottom and then a little button that says "wanna leave a tip?" but you do not have to engage with that button in order to complete your order.

I get my hair cut at a local salon called Great Clips, where you can buy a card that pre-buys X number of haircuts so when you're done you just swipe the card and that's it for the transaction. The problem is that it makes tipping impossible unless you have cash cause they cannot separately charge your credit card for just a tip.

I actually find that awkward cause I know those people cannot be making much money at all if they're not getting tips. Because you see, even though you might think the highest priority at Great Clips is a great haircut, they are also very focused on making the experience affordable with a great price.

I call it bullcrap.  Most folks paid the amount with a credit card and then threw a five spot on the counter for a tip.  I bring a 20 spot and give it to the gal at Great Clips.  It's a nice and easy way to pay your stylist.
