You sound like my sister.

Jennifer...is that you?
7.62x51-Standard NATO round aka .308 Winchester (pretty close but the pressures are different)
7.62x39 - Standard Soviet/Russian round used in AK47s and SKSs amongst others.

The diameter is the same, the length is different.

Soil Compaction

Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 4/18/25 at 1:54 pm
In North Alabama. Tifway 419 grass. Got some dead areas that look like deadpan on a golf course. Just bare dirt. Soil seems packed and dry. Water seems to just run off and never really soaks in that area.

Plan on aerating next month and looking for other things to do. Should I add some organic matter to it like Black Kow to help loosen up the soil after I aerate it?

Even little wildcat tournaments are like that.

HELL YES. This is common sense right here. USDA should allow stuff like meat, vegetables and if they need to subsidize drinks, then do it with tea and coffee.
Damn...none at McNeese? Maybe McNeese's demographics have changed since I was there.

100% correct. It's not a "mission". It's 100% PR stunt. Bezos needs to get out and do something more productive than just PR stunts.
Mother in law was in a similar situation. She was in debt to her eyeballs. There was no estate to be divided no secession done. When the bill collectors started calling, I told them to pound sand or I could fax them a death certificate. I wasn't liable for her debt. Her daughter nor her son was either. She was from La, but died in Alabama. She had already lost her house/land to hurricanes and bad insurance deals. She literally had nothing.

Yes but in order to watch SECN+ you have to have SECN through a “cable” provider.

SECN+ is included with your right to watch SECN from your provider.


I have SECN thru DirecTV

Oh. I watch ESPN + on my firestick so I've got that downloaded on the Firestick already...is SECN+ available like that?

Egypt has been a huge enabler of Hamas and this is their punishment I guess.


Culturally and ethnically Egyptians are more like Palestinians than any surrounding country, plus the location is close to where they lived in Gaza. They are actually probably better off in Egypt rather than Gaza. Gaza will continue to be disputed lands and filled with war for decades to come.

Best way to watch SECN+?

Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 3/26/25 at 7:29 am
Right now I'm relegated to watching SECN+ on my PC or tablet. Sure, I can cast it to my TV, but I was wondering if there was a better way? LG Smart TV doesn't have an app in their store, so that's out, Firestick doesn't have it available (that I can see...maybe it's somewhere else??)

Looking for ideas.
I've got all this tech and I can't seem to get one streaming channel to an 80" TV....that sucks.
That's just what the democrats need....


To ensure another Republican Victory! That's one democrat position I can get behind!

Thanks for the correction. I thought it was before I got married. Time sure flies.

My mom and dad went to that game. If I'm not mistaken Ben Rothlisberger was the QB for Miami of Ohio.

Since I'm from Sulphur and played DL there, it was awesome seeing a guy from my neck of the woods playing at LSU.

RIP Marc Boutte.

Dude...Lent is hard without eggs.
Breakfast...no sausage for protein. Gotta use eggs
Tuna fish sandwiches here use boiled eggs.

Bake a cake without eggs...probably won't work.

Not bitching about the cost...just saying we use eggs in a lot of different ways.
