I think my explanation makes more sense


You can think whatever you want but your poor logic in arriving at your conclusion has been demonstrated.

Saddam may or may not have had stockpiles, he certainly postured as though he did, but the fact that they weren’t used when we invaded in no way suggests that he therefore didn’t have them.

If he still had them at the time of our invasion, why didn't Saddam use them against our troops?


Because it would have sealed his fate. He would know that it would only guarantee that he would be hunted down and executed. It would not have changed any outcome of the war.

Nazi Germany had chemical and biological weapons as well and likewise did not use them, even though they viewed the war as existential and the regime fought until they were totally exhausted and personally destroyed.

It's also plausible that he moved them out of Iraq prior to the invasion to escape culpability. Again, there was no reason for Saddam to believe unequivocally at the outset that he would be captured and hanged as a result of the military campaign. The United States had already invaded Iraq once and left Saddam in power.
That Black Hole Sun video creeped me tf out as a kid.
What a horrible look for Jayden. Immature, arrogant, selfish, entitled, no humility.

Football is the ultimate team sport. You are a cog in the machine to get your team to victory. College football has always been so unique in that former players have a bond with the institution and the future players who will take their spots. Jayden’s only approach here is that LSU owes him and serves as a personal revenue stream for him.

I hope LSU stands their ground and tells Jayden to frick right off. And I would voluntary remove Jayden from display on campus because LSU simply doesn’t need him for anything. It’s time we start restoring order around this crap and stop letting prima donnas run rough shod all over everything.

The only one trolling is you.

When the president says "we wiped out their airforce"

And then their fighter jets appear in the skies, then asking where those came from is a legitimate question. It isn't trolling


It's being pedantic at best.

If you destroy 90% of one's air force for example, and effectively remove it as a factor in a military conflict, saying you "wiped out their air force" does not become a lie or deception because you can point to some of their planes still existing.

Purple jerseys with all white including helmets are pretty damn legit.


I'd actually prefer that this combo and the all white combo be put out to pasture.

We already wear white more than any other team in the country. We don't need MORE white combos for the very rare occasion that we actually wear our purple.

We have a unique color combo that makes LSU distinctively LSU and people want us to add more white to a team that wears white already for home and away. It makes no damn sense and it doesn't look particularly good to begin with.
Fixing the Saints jerseys is like the easiest thing ever to do and yet they just fricking refuse to do it...

Go to the podiatrist. Get on Lamisil.

It took me two separate courses of Lamisil. 3 months each and had to wait about 6 months in between treatments.

I was feeling like the shite would never go away but the second round knocked it out.

Man, Lane being on social media is half the appeal...


Totally disagree. He came across as a world class asshat on social media. I found that to be the most encouraging news in that entire summary that he left social media. Hopefully never to return until he is no longer LSU's coach.
There must be a total overhaul to Republican Party selection of candidates moving forward. This is why it hasn't mattered in the past when Republicans have controlled government, because the ranks are filled with frauds, phonies, and opportunists with no convictions or loyalty to their constituents. And once they get elected, we blindly let them remain in power until they die or decide they have grifted long enough and can retire comfortably on the profits they've made through their political career. We need to evaluate our candidates EVERY election and start primarying tf out of anyone who reneges on their campaign rhetoric or fails to deliver on policy support.

No more being comfortable with no accountability. We don't have the luxury of wasting time with worthless representatives anymore.

Bovino sounds like he's just bitter


Bovino sounds to me like a man who is passionate in his convictions on this issue and he doesn't think we are doing nearly enough to address this issue effectively and I totally agree with him.
This would make defeating them and inflicting catastrophic losses to their military significantly easier.

grab a flat shovel, several bags of pea gravel and a couple dozen pots of blue liriope. Scrape off the grass and topsoil the width of your border, use string and stakes to stay straight. Pack the soil down with the flat of the shovel. Install the pea gravel. Install the the liriope at the edge of the grass all the way around. Water everything down good.


Solid idea. Would look nice and it seems like the liriope outline could work to keep grass and debris out of the rocks.
Just got quoted $4,800 for a gravel/paver outline. Probably a fair price but definitely more than I’m looking to spend on solving this problem. Lol

Is that a pre-made pergola kit?


No sir. That was all sourced lumber and custom install.
Roof surface is Hercules polycarbonate system from Coveryourpergola.com

It’s a little on the pricier side but I have no complaints so far. It covers our back windows which are the source of all our natural light in our living area, so we can keep our blinds open and let in light that a regular cover would have shaded out.
I am in Slidell. Had Tru Contracting and Consulting out my patio up. Believe they are based out of Mandeville.

The Cutting Edge is another one based out of Lafayette I think that posts a lot of really nice patio installs.
I have a 12’ x 20’ concrete patio that I am looking to add an outline around to push yard encroachment back a bit. Thinking 12-16” or so. Not looking to do a super complicated or complex addition but also want to do it where it doesn’t look like shite in a few years and needs to be redone. Cost efficiency is a significant factor. Not looking to spend more on this job than I need to.

The patio cover is very high, so I do get rain water blown onto the patio that needs to be able to drain off. For this reason I’ve kinda ruled out concrete.

Was thinking of digging 4-6” or so down and laying some gravel and topping with 16” square paver stones. Does this sound like a feasible plan? Is there a better or more economical option that I’m overlooking? I don’t want just gravel as my rock garden gets lots of leaves and yard debris hung up in it and starts looking messy.

There was a girl I worked with at a pizza joint back in my early 20's who was in the national guard. She was was not a bright person with very little going for her.

She was deployed to Bagram for 6 months as I recall. Came home and got on disability for PTSD. She never left Bagram at any point in her deployment. Apparently claimed incoming mortar fire the base took caused her to have PTSD. Absolute total bullshite. I don't recall what her benefits were but I do remember being shocked what she was getting to sit on her arse all day with her "PTSD."

It's a total slap in the face to our vets who genuinely deserve aid for injuries or real PTSD. You would have to be extraordinarily naive to think the same types who scam welfare aren't in military ranks with the same attitude.

Why?
I am looking for suggestions on a simple option to more reasonably secure my safe against potentially tipping forward. I have a little one stomping around now that I have to factor into my home safety.

My safe is on carpet and enclosed on three sides with walls. I am not interested in bolting it to the ground through the carpet and it does not have holes in the back to secure it to wall studs.

My thoughts were possibly rigging a strap or cable that runs across the top of the safe and is affixed to the walls on the side somehow. I had it shimmed in the front providing a slight rearward tilt but I read this could cause issues to the mechanisms over time.

I’m not worried about maximizing security from thieves, but only minimizing my risk my child somehow accidentally pulling and tipping it.
