re: The goal of many Gen Z and millennial women is now to be a DINK—dual income and no kids
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/3/24 at 6:24 pm
The US is on the verge of over population to me.
I couldn't imagine living on an acre or less and neighbors all around.
And we don't need a huge workforce going forward with AI, robots, etc. ...

[quote]So he mocked his Party’s base? What a brain-damaged hypocrite.[/quote]
Parroting a Party talking point is bullshite politics. Politicians used to speak out against their party often when it didn't align with their beliefs.
The GOP lives them some Israel. A lot of supposed GOP members, ...

The fact is, we could do better as a country if our population was 250 mil or so. Stop illegal immigration and a lower birth rate is ideal.
Why do we need to grow the population? Our land size isn't growing proportionally. Many of our cities are already packed in like sardines and bitching abou...

I'd advise someone to either have kids in your 20s or not st all. I'm pushing 50 and my wife is 44. No kids at home.
We get to enjoy things together way ourselves and have so much fun. I took my eife fishing this morning early (we got up at 330 am) to catch shad. She landed a 29" 12 lbs striper...

re: Louisiana Legislature repeals law blocking homeowner’s insurance cancellations
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/2/24 at 9:19 am
Every website that publishes data shows Oklahoma's homeowner insurance premiums to be higher than Louisiana's premiums. Makes some sense because we get tornadoes, high winds and a ton of hail.
But we don't have cancelations. Why? Because we don't have fricked up tort regulations that hamstring p...
re: I have a poor person question
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/1/24 at 7:59 pm
Depends on the situation.
If it's my wife ordering, I don't ask nor care. If I'm paying for a group (we always end up paying if it's a group) then I'm asking and possibly redirecting. ...

Why do guys worry themselves with past flings? They're in the past for whatever reason. Move on ffs.
I have two ex wives and many ex girlfriends. I don't have a damn clue, nor do I care what they look like or what their lives are like.
This board is turning into a strange mixture of SIMPs an...
re: More Central U.S. Severe Weather: 4/30/24 - 5/3/24
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/1/24 at 5:23 pm
Great.
I was going to get up at 3:30 this morning to catch bait and fish Lake Texoma. A bad storm hit at 2 am and lasted for several hours and then another storm at around 8 am. Obviously I didn't go fishing.
And supposed to get hammered over night again. Maybe I'll finally be able to fish...

I hope Dickson does ok through this. Not much in that little town but there's a gas station on the south side of the highway that used to serve damn good burgers. I haven't been there in a few years but good people between there and Mannsville.
We occasionally go with friends to the ATV off road...

re: Remember When We Were Told Abrams Battle Tanks Would Change The Trajectory Of The War?
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 4/27/24 at 9:20 am
I will say, we trained the frick out of our tank crews. As a Tank Commander, I was always running my guys through crew drills. Always.
Even when it was 100 deg at Ft Hood, I'd take my 19 year old loader down to the motor pool with a training sabot round. We'd sit there in the heat for hours while...
re: Remember When We Were Told Abrams Battle Tanks Would Change The Trajectory Of The War?
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 4/27/24 at 9:04 am
Yes, training is a big component. I spent over 20 years of my life on an Abrams. Even when we weren't deploying, we'd spend 5-6 months per year training on those bastards--2 gunneries per year (1 month each), 2 FTXs (1 month each) with stupid arse MILES gear and Hoffman devices and then a month say d...
re: LSP to launch safety campaign on illegal window tint, license plate covers

[quote]Nevermind the crime, drugs and thugery. Let's give them a ticket for dark tint![/quote]
Window tint is just a reason to initiate a traffic stop.
To give them a reason to then look for illegal activity. Basically stop and frisk, but for vehicles. ...

Yeah I just paid over 15k for my ac/furnace replacement as part of our total remodel. 16 seer unit. I also had it relocated to the attic and duct work done and 2 return vents installed.
I'm currently on Week 4 of living in my 5th wheel while the whole house is being reworked.

re: German police giving a FAFO seminar for anti-Israel protesters outside German parliament.

I have many members of the German polizei. 25 years ago, they used to carry those vibrating wands and frick people up.
As a young soldier over there, you learned quickly to not frick with them. Also, you didn't frick with the Turks. The Turks would show up out of nowhere and multiply from 5 to 20...
re: Towing two trailers

I know some states you can't bumper pull two trailers. You can have a gooseneck/5th wheel to a bumper but not two bumper pulls.
I've seen it done buy I wouldn't do it. Whenever we go camping along with either off-roading or camping, my wife has to drive one of my trucks and tow a trailer. She doe...
