    Wyoming Hunter [Cody Roberts of Daniel, WY] tortures, kills wolf

    Pretty despicable behavior and indicative of the guys character. As previously mentioned, I'd guarantee there was plenty of alcohol involved in the whole situation. Definitely not excusing the behavior but Wyoming must have a problem with wolves for this to be such a minor violation of the...

    Ex Wives

    Oh I have no doubt she'd show evil that I've never seen in a divorce situation. This thread reaffirms my belief that some women show that evil while IN the marriage and then become the damn antichrist during the divorce process. And oof, that's a tough pill to swallow. I'm sure that was...

    Ex Wives

    Ya, I have 2 young sons myself and anytime I've ever thought it might be time to throw in the towel, I realize that would be (in some ways) giving up on them and everyone's life would be worse for it due to splitting of custody, home, wealth, etc and yet still having to deal with the ex on a...

    Ex Wives

    While my wife of nearly 7 years can definitely be unreasonable and is prone to overreacting, she's not a conniving, evil bitch like some of the women detailed in this thread. When I hear about someone I personally know getting divorced I feel some combination of 3 things - sympathy as I feel...

    Fallout on Amazon Prime

    We got through 2 episodes and my wife even enjoys it despite never having heard if the video game series. I played New Vegas and Fallout 4. I did enjoy both though I got into new vegas like 2 years after it was released so a lot of bugs had been worked out. No time for video games any longer...

    Former Vermont state trooper gets only 30 days for sex with 11 year old REPEATEDLY.

    We are all a bunch of conservatives yet there is a pretty sharp divide between these 2 camps for some people here - a.) Law enforcement officers are heroes. There are bad apples in every profession and those bad apples in law enforcement should be held accountable just like anyone. b.) Law...

    2 police officers and 1 firefighter killed during domestic.

    The mudshark's behavior got 3 public servants killed. Just bad decisions all around for her, I hope she spends decades in prison but realistically it will probably only be a few years.

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    A few days late on this but in the first 10 pages I don't see anyone arguing the bridge should have stayed upright after being hit by a >100,000T ship though I have seen some FB morons arguing as such. But many are speculating about how a ship that size operates and only 1 guy so far seems to...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    That's a pretty cool project to work on. While I design transmission lines, I haven't had any experience with a t-line on foundations in a marine environment.

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    Not that there couldn't be underwater transmission lines but above distribution voltages, utilities do everything they can to keep lines overhead. Having spoken to employees of American Transmission Company, the general consensus is UG transmission lines cost 4-8X what overhead lines cost...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    Ahh, the prior picture just so happened to have a blue line which corresponded to 14+ knots. This makes a lot more sense that it was slowing prior to hitting the piling.

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    Reminds me a little bit of when Covid was released on the world and immediately the idea of a lab leak was discounted. I'm over here thinking that it's WAY too early for them to be able to discount a lab leak as the source of Covid as there wouldn't have been sufficient time to conduct a...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    Sure but in this case the bridge is a stationary object and has been there for 50 years. Ships crashing into each other are probably, more often than not, a result of both ships trying to be in the same place at the same time. It can be the fault of both ships or just the fault of one...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    So a half mile away it changed course towards the bridge piling and it didn't slow down at all. I've never driven a boat bigger than 26' in length so kinda talking out of my ass a bit, but I would think that if it was drifting, dropping the anchors from a half mile away would at least slow a...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    That is kind of an important bridge in Baltimore. Traffic patterns will be f'ed up for the couple years it takes to rebuild and shipping traffic will be impacted for the coming weeks and at times until the new bridge is completed. Between redesigning a new bridge, obtaining materials and...

    One of Hunter's "business associates" must have been crossing the bridge.

    Ex Wives

    Holy shit on both accounts! I hope you don't have children with the ex-wife. Also hope she doesn't have any children at all. Trying to put myself in the situation if I heard an ex-gf off'ed herself, despite some of them being cheating sluts, I guess I'd feel sorry that it came to that for...

    Ex Wives

    Crazy stories, and it's a terrible shame that so many of these women change into monsters once they get their marriage claws into a man. My wife definitely is a pain in the ass compared to when we were dating but I don't have any worry about her loyalty, we have a good life together and we do...

    Yup, growing up we were right down the middle of middle class. I don't think my parents had a regular investment person until I was into adulthood when an Edward Jones office opened in our small suburban town. Paying bills, keeping a roof over our heads and raising 3 children was much higher...

    C'mon, playing Oregon Trail on those things was great in the early 90s computer classes! By 1995, It should have been obvious to almost anyone that computers were going to make their way into almost every home in the United States.

    BITCOIN

    Being born in 1984, I always questioned how my parents could have missed out on investing in Microsoft or Apple. Of course in the 80s and 90s they didn't have the investing knowledge readily available like it has been in the last 25 years or so or the ease of investing the last 15 years...

    "connected cars" automatically reporting to insurance companies

    It's bad enough when someone agrees to be monitored by insurance, this is just an invasion of privacy. Next thing you know the car will tattle to police about what is being said in the car or on a connected phone.

    So why are the markers all pumping? Is it because the UK approved bitcoin ETFs?
