  1. Maybe one of the mods wants to combine these two knife threads? I’m still on my bullshit. Love me some budget (less than $150) folders. Most recent come ups: Kershaw Bel Air, Vosteed Porcupine, Vosteed Marten (with fat carbon scales), and a Kershaw Seagull. Correct. Got ahead of myself. Probably the Bel air. But hard to choose.

  3. It depends on the situation really. I can be pretty shy about asking for photos. Some of my street stuff is up close, but I think most of it is more like an observer from afar. So, I typically only ask when doing street portraits. These train travelers most of the time are the people you see asking for money at corners. They call it “flying a sign”. However, this last interaction he refused my money (I think I offended him at first) and just asked if I could grab him a couple of drinks from the corner store. While I find some of Bruce Gilden’s work interesting, I am not a big fan of that style or approach. As for how much…also depends. If all I have is a buck, no one turns that down.
  4. CPCX 815019. So owned by Chevron Phillips.
  5. Looks like LA wants to tag in. Big protests happening.
  6. Caught this in Houston the other week. Topical.
  7. And Syria. Let's not include Ukraine because he obviously traded it for Venezuela. Plus Minnesota.
  8. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/greenland-trump-reject-acquisition-dont-want-to-be-americans/ Greenland's party leaders rejected President Trump's repeated calls for the U.S. to take control of the island, saying that Greenland's future must be decided by its people. "We don't want to be Americans, we don't want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and four party leaders said in a statement Friday night. Mr. Trump reiterated on Friday that he would like to make a deal to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous region that's part of NATO ally Denmark, "the easy way." He said that if the U.S. doesn't own it, then Russia or China will take it over, and the U.S. does not want them as neighbors. NATO allies and Greenland have disagreed with Mr. Trump's assessment. "If we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way," Mr. Trump said, without explaining what that entailed. The White House stated that it is considering a range of options, including the use of military force, to acquire the island. U.S. Senator Rand Paul told CBS Mornings earlier this week that he "will do everything to stop any kind of military takeover of Greenland." Greenland's party leaders reiterated that "Greenland's future must be decided by the Greenlandic people." "As Greenlandic party leaders, we would like to emphasize once again our wish that the United States' contempt for our country ends," the statement said. Officials from Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. met Thursday in Washington and will meet again next week to discuss the renewed push by the White House for control of the island. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that an American takeover of Greenland would mark the end of NATO. The party leaders' statement said that "the work on Greenland's future takes place in dialogue with the Greenlandic people and is prepared on the basis of international laws." "No other country can interfere in this," they said. "We must decide the future of our country ourselves, without pressure for quick decision, delay or interference from other countries." The statement was signed by Nielsen, Pele Broberg, Múte B. Egede, Aleqa Hammond and Aqqalu C. Jerimiassen. Potter Pilu Chemnitz told CBS News partner BBC News that Greenlanders "are all very tired of the U.S. president" and "just want to be left alone." Eighty-five percent of Greenlanders say they oppose a takeover by the U.S., the BBC reported. Most also say they favor independence from Denmark, though the Nordic country provides subsidies, military support and more for the autonomous territory. While Greenland is the largest island in the world, it has a population of around 57,000 and doesn't have its own military. Defense is provided by Denmark, whose military is dwarfed by that of the U.S. It's unclear how the remaining NATO members would respond if the U.S. decided to forcibly take control of the island or if they would come to Denmark's aid. Former Danish ambassador to NATO Michael Zilmer-Johns called Mr. Trump's ambitions "an affront to an ally that has stood up with the U.S. in Afghanistan, in Iraq, all over the world."
  9. No, he is putting in extra credit for when Machado shares the Nobel Peace Prize with Dear Leader.
  10. Zero chance that Macklemore is Icono. 0.0 chance. Houston is a big city, I am sure there is more than one bible thumping, monarchist, Texan fan Persian that acts like an incel douchebag that happens to post on a UT forum.
  11. A few classics I have seen around while out doing photography...
  12. I guess I will throw my bird shots in here rather than the general photography thread. Bald Eagle in NW Houston... Red-bellied Woodpecker... Harris Hawk down near Bishop, Texas... Green Jay in Kingsville. Didn't realize the branch in the foreground until I got home. Typical. Burrowing Owl in Austwell... Great Horned Owl somewhere in South Texas... Barn Owl outside of Corpus. Put an artsy fartsy edit of it flying in the photography thread... Monk Parakeets in Houston... Some kind of Night Heron in Artur Nogueira, Brazil... Masked Water Tyrant, also in Artur Nogueira, Brazil... Egret? In Houston... Western Kingbirds in Houston... Cardinal in Corpus... I think these are female Painted Buntings in Corpus... Not sure what kind of hummingbird, in Corpus... Scissored Tail Flycatcher, Waller County... b Barred Owl, Waller County... Caracara and zopilote sharing a power line in Waller County I can't tell all the hawks apart...Red Shouldered? Not sure where this was...
  13. I have been eating at Gourmandize food truck weekly for the past 2 years now. The owner, Abraham, is a really nice guy. He immigrated from Tunisia and worked in O&G until he was laid off. He drove an uber before opening his first food truck. I love the lamb tacos, but also eat the merguez and chicken ones too.
  14. Thanks y'all. And while I am here... This is Jason. He lives in Gary, Indiana and snowbirds in California. He had just got into Houston a few hours before I met him and said that he had gotten stuck in Louisiana for a week. Often times I will give travelers a few bucks or a ride to the store in exchange for a photo. Jason just wanted a couple of cans of Mike's Hard Lemonade. He said that from what he has seen, Houston looks rougher than Gary. This was in the Bloody Nickel, so yeah. But I should have shown him Acres Homes for a real American 3rd World experience.
  15. Murder.
  16. Sorry, I shouldn’t bait our resident bootlickers like that. I’ll save them the time; “but but but it’s because of these fucking filthy brown immigrants that the cost of healthcare is so high!” L O Fucking L
  17. Es la verdad. https://www.threads.com/@khrisroyal/post/DTSxG3MkuL4?xmt=AQF0TpYF9dp9LfKpApI1BFugUc_z3oDd11uULyro53Dz9yRnzS0FxrBTgy3pd1r7IxMARtEn&slof=1
  18. Sorry for just posting links, not sure if threads works here. https://www.threads.com/@jimscoggins/post/DTSO4crCQqZ?xmt=AQF0VFaapOUFfCqI4_moJ9c5kT6mQK5AJ26HUa8ErPm_2lK2Z9TWvbkXgfTHnoQAMVzLDG3W&slof=1

  20. Alright you filthy animals, some more...
  21. This. If he does not go scorched earth, then it reaffirms one of the underlying problems that the left needs to stop being pussies and start taking the fight to these fuckfaces.
  22. I just checked a few tracks. Pretty good, but not digging the vocals. Music is more black metal. I really dig post-metal that leans towards sludge and thrash.
  23. It’s time the left and center understand violence is the only thing these fascist goons understand and respect.
  24. Back on the mats after an extended break. Anyone rolling? I suppose this should have gone in the hobbies sub forum.
