I think it was pretty effective in the First Gulf War

parsons is intentionally ignoring areas of the state he lost with the vaccine event locations

That should be criminal.

I don't know how big of a deal it is but it seems like we shouldn't bomb other countries as much as we do.

Valid. I was more so saying it is not a big deal relative to the other bombings that we constantly do. For example, in 2019 we carried out 63 drone strikes in Somalia. What percentage of the American population do you think even knows we're carrying out strikes in Somalia? 25%?

Those unis are spicy barf like imagine eating a bunch of Thai food and then chugging a gallon of orange juice and throwing up all over yourself, that's those unis, fight me idgaf. Also go cats

1980s White Sox... Not a fan either.

Oh god you're right yes that is the look they were going for and to their credit, they nailed it. But it's a horrible aesthetic.

That being said I do really like our unis that are more like the 1919 Chicago White Sox those unis were fire

Hot rough ridin' garbage. If I wanted trash MLB jerseys I could find a better one.

This thread reeks of old men and bad uni takes.

We really mumped up by not passing the bond issue to build the indoor facility fifteen years ago. Pretty sure the Nat should have been replaced 20+ years ago.

No, it is not. Taking out Soleimani was a much bigger deal.

Must be a shitty diner if it's slow enough that the cook or waitress has enough time to espouse the Bible while filling his coffee.

Remember a little over ten years ago when it was frequently stated that we should go back to playing ball there?

Summer Adventure?

Oh yeah. Pretty awesome that townies were able to use all of those super nice university resources.

Yeah. It was an elite summer camp for sure. Swim at the nat everyday, recess at Ahearn, lunch at the Union, and "classes" interspersed throughout the day. Whoever came up with that program was brilliant. I believe it got cut because of lack of interest which is astounding.

I guess I don't understand the point you are making here.

Unaccompanied minors are a unique challenge that need to be handled humanely.

Forcefully separating families as a deterrent is what people were critical of

Yes. It's so disingenuous to compare the two but it's also not surprising at all.

I spent an insane amount of time there as a kid. Sad to see.

K-State has permanently closed the indoor swimming facility in the Natatorium, because of ongoing issues with maintenance and ventilation.https://t.co/WaHHW1EpMQ

Dems acting totally naive to war monger Biden’s actions and his fake promises so far. Who could have predicted this?! My god, what are we even doing right now?

I told lots of people on here and irl he would suck ass especially in foreign policy.

Correct. This is neither controversial nor surprising.

Would very much prefer NOT to have Wilson end up in Vegas and/or Watson in Denver. 

I don't think it'd bother me, because I would still expect an AFC championship every season.

Path would obviously be much much harder. Already lost a game to Derek rough ridin' Carr.

I like the unis. Also, anyone that hasn't been to a game yet probably doesn't know but the foul polls say "Eat More Fowl" on them as a part of a Raising Cane's sponsorship and I love it.

Anything that’s not a blend is a good place to start.

You just kind of have to find your lane after that

I would start with extra peaty because people tend to either love or hate it.

No offense Cire but I think this is terrible advice.

Noob question: is that flavor that tastes like the soil of Scotland in Johnny Walker black but isn’t present in bourbon “peaty-ness”?

When people describe a Scotch as peaty they are talking about the smoky flavor. Peat is used as fuel to dry the malted barley in the mash. Islay Scotches tend to be especially peaty and briny.

I wish one of you could tell me that name of the bar on the corner just north of Mae’s c. 2005/2006. I’m surprised no one else on here knew about that oasis of a bathroom in it’s basement.

The place immediately north of Mae's on the corner in '05/'06 was Pita Pit and the bathrooms were on the main level. There was a basement but it was sans bathroom. Lil' waks worked there briefly at the time w/ @mocat 

Guess I can’t remember where that bar was then. I swear it was on a SE corner and when I look at that building on google maps now it looks the same with the windows, size & door placement. It was pretty small. I found it because some friends were in a band called Emma’s Mine & they played there a few times. If they hadn’t played there I never would have gone in.

I mean, Mae's is the only bar in Aggieville that has a basement that's open to the public. Did PJ's have a basement? I know it was a music venue but it was turned into a parking lot before I was 21.
