Oh look, the blackmail is starting already. Good job everyone who voted for a completely compromised candidate.

There was a librarian who saved his whole life and when he passed donated I think 1 million dollars to his old university. That university then spent the money on a new score board for the football field. I bet if he saw that he would have wished he put some stipulations on his donation.

This is going to break some conservatives who have made camouflage part of their identity. Can't wait.

As context, around 10 tornadoes touched down in Chicagoland last night... OR SO THEY SAY

Many restaurants let people pay when they pick up or get the food delivered. So doing this costs the restaurant money, not OP. That's why he's spoofing his info too, if he paid they probably wouldn't care enough to ban the number.

He profited from the secret service (and by proxy, us) the whole time he was president when he made them pay full price to have rooms at his garbage resort in Florida.

I don't think this is true. I thought he increased the standard rate and charged them that. So it was like, double price.

Quick edit: I just looked it up, it was allegedly 4-5 times the approved government hotel rate.

Buy a bird dog.
WTF, this dog is OBSESSED with birds.
Let dog run loose.
Dog catches birds.
Bird dog is happy for catching birds.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Shoot dog.

Nobody understands, this dog was a maniac around birds!

First of all, through God all things are possible, so jot that down.

Falconry. It's really more of a lifestyle than a hobby now though. I've been doing it for a little over 10 years now and am currently flying a cast (group of birds flown together) of 3 Harris's Hawks.

Quick faqs:

  • I use the glove and everything
  • It's a hunting sport, we catch rabbits 3-5 times a week
  • We all go out together, I flush they catch
  • No, they do not bring what they catch back to me, I go to them
  • They don't eat the whole rabbit, I trade them a small reward
  • They are completely free flighted when doing this
  • I've trained them just enough to get them back and work with me, they know how to do bird things naturally
  • They don't really go for your eyes, and getting bit hurts 50x less than getting footed
  • They are not rescues and are perfectly healthy
  • Mine are captive bred, but some are wild trapped
  • Wild trapping has 0 effect on native populations, 50-90% of raptors don't make it through their first year
  • Even though mine are captive bred they are still wild animals, they are just tamed.
  • This is the most regulated sport in the US

No, you're right. Infinity war is the better movie but endgame was the better event. Endgame is almost a perfect fanservice movie and I wouldn't have it any other way.

We have a pvc pipe cutter that is used to cut up frozen small animals, like quail and mice, for our raptors. It works really, really well.

The gaming laptops that I am familiar with don't fit the traditional laptop role. Their battery life sucks and they are heavy due to the powerful hardware which really hinders their portability. They are more for people who need a portable desktop. I would almost never recommend a gaming laptop but they do fit specific needs.
