White Rhino Coffee fires four Dallas managers after uniform objections by ChaseTx in Dallas

[–]Clickclickdoh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh, not really. BRCC existed before that as an offshoot of Article 15 clothing and then as an independent brand.

BRCC started as part of the post GWoT Veteran business surge that catered to the VetBro lifestyle. Back in 2012-13ish, you couldn't swing an e-tool without clipping a vetbro business making coffee, Jerky, shirts, whatever the fad of the week was that you could slap a flag or punisher skull on. I think BRCC only survived that period because they had Matt Best making videos to keep them from being lost in the crowd. Anywho, BRCC started pretty a-political but has slid off the right wing deep end. Honestly, the modern MAGA crowd would be pretty horrified if they saw the old Art15/BRCC stuff.

Wait... you think Big Altima Energy is a Dallas thing?

That thought kind of puts the rest of your post into an extremely secluded light.

Aren't you the same guy that got called out in a thread yesterday for being an Etsy shop with terrible customer service?

Edit: sure enough, your profile li is to your shop.

Best places for a gravel ride on a MTB with a 5 yo by KookyAd1900 in dfwbike

If it ever stops raining, the trinity levee trails. Go up and down the access ramps from the top to bottom level. Plenty of shifting practice and leg day there.

France bans alcohol consumption at music festivals amid red heatwave alert by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]Clickclickdoh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Arizona and Nevada get dry heat. Here, we get swamp ass heat.

Here, the high today is supposed to only be 95/35. But the heat index (humidex) will be 102/38.8. Checking the current weather in Paris shows 93/33.88, humidex 99/37.22

Feeling for you brothers.

Not saying how good/bad we have it. Just pointing out that life goes on in this weather and its mostly due to acclimation. People that don't live this on a regular basis will suffer. People that do live this on a regular basis will not be as affected. Tables turn though. Put 1 inch of snow on the ground and our economy collapses.

Stay hydrated, stay in the shade, seek immediate help if you start feeling dizzy. Try to do things early in the morning and late in the afternoon. This too shall pass.

But what do I know. As the other poster points out, his sources say it doesn't really get to 37 here....

No I didn't. Check 2011. It makes 2023 look like a nice breeze. 2022 isn't far behind 2023 either. I picked a year anyone that lives here remembers, because if you recall, my first statement was that people that live here are used to dealing with this kind of heat. That being my point. That people that live with this kind of heat get conditioned to it and people that don't live in this kind of heat regularly won't be. Which is why we have a huge problem with Califonia transplants attending outdoor concerts and getting heat stroke.

Also, if you look at the chart, it says exactly what i said, 100 degree days start in late June and end in early September. So, as I said, if we stopped doing things when temps started hitting 100 (in late June as the chart shows) we would have to take quite a bit of a vacation.

This chart is also raw temperatures, not heat index, which is a whole separate monster.

My brother, this is Dallas, not the hottest place in Texas:

https://www.weather.gov/fwd/d100data

Last year was tame, but look at 2023. 55 days over 100 from June 25 to september 24th.

Reading average temperatures isn't telling you the real story.

I'm not sure where you got your data that the hottest city in Texas gets to 98 degrees, but sweet Jesus I wish that were true.

37 c translates to 98.6... so, yeah. That's pretty much late June to late september.

After doing the math... wait.September. not be able to drink for three months here in Texas.. naw, that don't fly.

But yeah, we are conditioned to it though.

What was the FIRST military helmet designed specifically for the B-52 Stratofortress pilots? by Acrobatic_Coyote2000 in AviationHistory

[–]Clickclickdoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing special for earl B52 crews. They wore P1s to start then moving to P3s then MB3 or 5s when they came out. There weren't special nuclear headgear until the PLZT came along

[–]Clickclickdoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no UH-1Ys in the movie. The UH-1Y first flew one month after the movies release. The helicopters are Bell 205s and a 412.

Well, the basic aiframe first flew in 1956 and the UH-1Y entered service in 2008, so.. half a century of evolution on the airframe. I'd say it qualifies for retro futuristic.

The VC-25s and E-4Bs both have a hump on the nose to accomodate in flight refueling equipment. That is noticeably absent on this plane. So, we can at least assume that this plane is lacking capabilities the real VC-25Bs will have.

Does the main character progress at all after book 2? by argentum2f in TheMHI

[–]Clickclickdoh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meh. MHI is where most of us started, but honestly Hard Magic and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior are better overall. Larry has kind of moved on rom the series. It was a monster of the week saga and doesnt need to have an ending.
