re: Phil's Oyster Bar

Posted by ThuperThumpin on 5/20/26 at 11:56 am to
I like Phil's. The food is solid but its bit on the pricey side when compared with what you can get at other places. For example Elsie's big seafood plate is half the price of Phils and comes with almost as much items and taste better imo. Same with most of their dishes and apps. Phil's GP3 fries are awesome though so I pay the price sometimes.

It was idiotic.

Why not attack banking as well?


They hit a back up generator unit at the power plant. Not the plant itself. It was a threat with a demonstration of capacity....though Im not sure if they can actually destroy a reactor building..... they have threatened banking too with threats to cut the underwater internet cables in the SOH.

the whole point of this conflict is we cant let these loonies get a nuclear weapon bc they will definitely use it on Israel or the west(or so we are told)...which would be idiotic. so yea ..attacking the gulf states is idiotic....they are idiots but as aI said they in the context of trying to keep their idiotic asses in charge and not be bombed anymore. threatening the destruction of our allies is the best move they can make right now,
quote:

That was an idiotic display.


It demonstrated their ability to still attack precisely on infrastructure .Their whole goddamn Islamic revolutionary movement for the last 40 years is idiotic, but within the context of trying to keep their idiotic regime intact and possibly stave off bombing of their own infrastructure it was not a bad move imo.

We don't know that. We, as in you and I and anyone on this board. The media doesn't know it either.

I don't discount the possibility for sure. But we don't know that it's true


Well you can trust the leaked CIA report or not that says 70% of their arsenal is intact. It does jibe with pre war estimates of Iran's capabilities and what we know they have fired so far. Also Trump and others in the administration never miss an opportunity to say the sunk their navy and destroyed their air force, whcih was never the threat, but never say they have eliminated their drone and missile arsenal....which was always the main threat. Folks keep asking why arent we finishing the job and this is what makes sense to me.

Maybe he really believed the people would revolt and overtake their country. Kind of like a reverse Bay of Pigs.


This is the idea Netanyahu sold him. He has been pushing that fantasy to our leaders for 20 years. What i really wonder is did Netanyahu actually believe it would work.

This war has proven that Iran absolutely had to be dealt with.


Yea we sure are dealing with them alright.....
quote:

I tend to be in the camp with those who just want to get it on and force Iran's hand via the military. If that can be done. Unfortunately, none of know if that's possible.


Some thing this board and most discussions I hear in the media, particularly conservative media , over look or dont want to mention is that Iran still has enough firepower to retaliate and cause an even bigger....much bigger ...catastrophe in the region and economically for the world. That is why this "ceasefire" endures as both sides know the consequences in escalating to target infrastructure.

ll look at those- I’ve been at a loss as how to dig in and enjoy it, this is a great list!


Sorry OP for the de-rail....one more tip you can cast the headset to your smart TV which makes it bit more of family or group activity as others can watch. Fun for games like Beat Saber.
Beat Saber is GOAT rythym game. Everyone loves it.

Synth Riders if you like rhythm games like Beat Saber give it a shot.

Eleven Table Tennis if you like ping pong..this is the best one

Batman Arkham Shadow fighting, puzzle solving zipping around like Batman .. Really great game

Red Matter 1 &2 sci fi story with puzzle solving

Ghost Story / The Room interesting mystery games with cool puzzles to solve highly detailed environments

Assassins Creed Nexus action/ fighting parkour

Deadpool fighting shooting. fun but very violent

Most of the Horizon Worlds and other free stuff is really garbage.

Try First Encounters. Literally a cute bubble gun alien catching game in mixed reality and a cool demo of the tech for newbies.
My main symptoms were feeling painfully full and gassy after eating a normal size meal along with alternating constipation and diarrhea. Eating smaller portion meals, limit starches, red meat, and exercise is necessary for me to limit those symptoms. The best product I've taken thus far that has really helped is Friska Mens Daily digestive enzyme and probiotic support. I take it usually once a day. It took about a week to start before I stated to notice a big difference and I was uncomfortable during that week (extremely gassy at first) but I would say it has been a game changer as far as what I can eat and not feel bad. I still dont over indulge but if I want spaghetti and meatballs I can it has helped make that meal and the hours after tolerable.

Just watched this and it sucked. I didn't even feel like there was much revenge to it.


Yea some folks dont connect with it but considering its got a 96% Fresh tomato score with critics and 80% with audience I'd say your opinion that it sucks is in the minority.
quote:

bullshite. The US military could absolutely conquer Iran, but it's the American people who don't have the stomach for it.


It would be a brutal fight. Its a geographical fortress. Could we do it. ....if we committed to total war yes, but we would lose tens of thousands of lives and cost several trillion.
quote:

Iran is so ridiculously overmatched that they have to entice kooky Americans to do what they can't do. Meanwhile, someone pushes a button from the safety of tens of thousands of feet away and their leaders are taken out within milliseconds.


Its the guys buried 1600 feet under ground with fingers on the buttons of their ballistic missiles that is the problem. Or at least one of the bigger problems that we havent been able to solve.
quote:

Lets just bomb the shite out of them and be done with it already. Why waste time with negotiations?


Iran still has a sizeable stock pile of drones and ballistic missiles capable of doing major damage to the other gulf states oil producing infrastructure and desalination plants. We are in a state of mutually assured destruction with a large percentage of the world's oil supply that could go offline for years. Neither side wants that to happen.
My parents in the 70's and 80's were safety conscious about everything except seatbelts and letting us flop around in the "wayback" of the family Volvo wagon. I even had a cubby hole of blankets amongst the luggage that they put me in on trips.

My buddy's family had one of those conversion vans in HS. At 16 we were cruising around looking for beer and succeeding with about 10 other teens packed in that thing. Really was a different time and glad no one got hurt.

Just as a side I wish the wagon would make a come back. Overseas get all kinds of cool hatchbacks and wagons that dont come stateside bc everyone here wants a shitty handling marsh mellow on wheels cross over.

Divers surveying the dam for routine repair and maintenance located the grenade-type IED. MAWSS alerted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, which coordinated the multi-agency response for analysis, retrieval and safe demolition.


They just happen to find it during an inspection. How often do they do these types of inspections? I wonder how long its been there.

Well to be fair even as a kid we used to lol at Christopher Lambert's line delivery. Its part of the charm of it all.
I really like their cheese sauce. Like I generally find any kind of packaged cheese sauce or queso to be rather gross or under whelming. But something about PJ s works for me. In fact its the only reason I order from them ever is I get a hankering for it with some garlic knots.
