Doubtful that’d stop a .22.

Whole hog pit cooked BBQ is disgusting? Hummm???? Interesting. And you realize that there are AT LEAST 3 types of BBQ in NC...


Vinegar based BBQ should be considered a hate crime.

Be smart, get her a Camry or Accord instead.
Dude, it’s not like Austin is going to have dramatically different food than the rest of the country. Their BBQ isn’t that different than what you’ll find in most of the south (unless you’re some type of hard core foodie).

Now Carolina BBQ is disgusting.
Concur with all points.

The amount of non combat vets required VA disability is sickening, many at 100% and are still working other jobs.

I don’t think we will ever go back to a time of pride, work ethic and personal responsibility though.

Once Alexander the Great broke Achaemenid power, the Hellenistic trajectory was locked in. Greek language, cities, coinage, and elite culture were going to dominate the eastern Mediterranean and Near East regardless, as it still did during Roman times across the Roman Empire. Greek was the language and culture of the intellectual elites. His early death mainly produced the Successor wars and decades of instability.

Had he lived, that fragmentation is delayed or avoided. Trade networks stabilize sooner, populations aren’t ground down by constant war, and Rome likely rises more slowly, though not prevented.

The main area of real divergence is east of Persia. Longer consolidation in Bactria and the Indus could deepen Greco-Indian interaction, especially with early Mauryan power under Chandragupta Maurya


How profitable are gas stations?

In an area with a ton of gas stations, people will build more. Some are very nice and expensive to build. I'm assuming they must be very profitable, I rarely see a gas station that goes out of business, unless deep in the hood or rural area.

Also, why are so many foreign owned? Do they overpay and previous owners sell because the price is just too good to pass up?

In my community the BOS will sometimes deny permits for gas stations (due to public outcry) because the gas station too close to others.

In the AF many times senior officers get very little punishment when committing such infractions, while enlisted are, “made an example of.”

Probably talking about that creepy gay dude watching them.

Cook was considered a very good CEO finances wise for the most part. He did some very profitable things. He was considered a terrible CEO tech wise. Apple just stopped innovating and are behind on everything


Don’t tell the market that. Stock still going up and folks still buying apple like crazy. iPhone sales are still up biggly, same for MacBooks.
The whole thing sounds trashy
Don’t know if Tim Cook is a good or bad CEO, but i hold a lot of Apple stock and it’s up crazy over the past 10 years.
Why didn't that old lady let Leo get on the raft? There was plenty of room.
Methodists are a mishmash of the two, right?

Anyway i have catholic neighbors and coworkers, they have more fun.
My kids are grown, but i find these threads interesting.

Just like the price of food at restaurants and most everything else. the consumer has all the power, they just don’t understand it.
Parking on the street/driveway is trashy, that’s why God invented garages. Sucks to be a poor.
Was downrange about 10 years ago at an expeditionary base populated mostly by marines. Apparently many marines believe in the, “it’s not gay when you’re underway,” philosophy. We had an openly gay dude in our squadron, he said after dark the bunkers were like gay spring break with mostly jar heads.

Is it pretty bright?

We have a large cross high on a hill and the viewing area is a decent distance away, my 90 year mother has difficulty seeing it. I don't need it to last all night, we don't go up that more than an hour after dark. I just need something bright.
