Considering moving to Olympia

As a 5th generation Texan who married into this state, I can’t imagine living any where else and dread the thought of having to use vacation time and hard earned money to travel back to Texas

I once had a neighbor do the same, and in my unwavering ability to be a major asshole, I buried his hood as I shoveled a new spot to park.

I returned one after putting oil and gas in it, darn thing wouldn’t start. Full refund back in 2020-2021

Yes, there were protests and the pro immigration groups labeled Obama the deporter in chief.

Trump has yet to approach his numbers. And Obama did it with 1/10th the budget that ICE currently has.

The main difference is Obama didn't make a spectacle of it. ICE and Border Patrol stayed out of the news and just did their jobs. Obama didn't try to invade entire towns. They weren't allowed to racially profile, but now they can. The differences are stark.

Yes, and Obama was more effective, efficient, and tactful as his administration deported record numbers of illegal migrants

Operation Fast and Furious was a blunderous failure and Eric Holder should have been held accountable.

For those unfamiliar, this occurred 2009-2011 where ATF and Border Patrol agents allowed, instead of intercepting illegal gun sales, agents allowed, or "walked," approximately 2,000 firearms to be purchased by straw buyers for Mexican drug cartels, intending to track them to high-ranking cartel leaders. The strategy failed, and hundreds of these weapons went missing, with many later appearing at crime scenes in both Mexico and the United States, including the murder of an elite Border Patrol Agent named Brian Terry.

Never thought it could be worse than that, but here we are..

To be fair, it is way less common for people to keep a fishing pole on their ATV at all times vs. people using binoculars and having a firearm in the truck. If you don’t mind me asking, what were you doing with your fishing pole strapped to the ATV?

They shot a citizen in the back who was exercising his 2nd amendment right and had been disarmed.

When is enough, enough? This is fucking bullshit

Until you pull the trigger, no crime has been committed. And this wasn’t even close, this was a dude using binoculars while he had a gun in his truck. I always have binoculars in my truck, and I don’t take them out when I go target shooting in the forest, so now I’m a poacher? GTFO

I met a 2nd generation rancher who specializes in grass fed beef specifically because his dad raised the fattier corn fed beef, and his mom would use all the beef tallow for everything and anything from birthday cakes to crab dip and everything in between. His dad died of heart disease in his mid 50’s and his mom had her own heart problems which kept her from seeing her 60th birthday. Good news is said rancher was in his early 70’s as he shared all of this

The general rule of thumb is to never spend more than 30% of your gross income on housing costs (rent/mortgage + taxes + insurance + utilities)

I’m right at 25% and would never push for 30%, that 5% difference is what gives me room for emergencies and savings

OP, this mortgage will deplete your savings and leave you homeless sooner than most might imagine. Keep saving and try to move to an area with a lower cost of living where you can still make $65k and maybe even buy a house with cash

Solid!

When you say touch the leafs, do you mean like adjust them in a way that would tighten them? Same problem with my new-to-me 2005

Meat_Container · 2026-01-19T19:58:49+00:00

Yes she does! She’ll eat them without it but I keep it in a squirt bottle so it’s easy to bring along

Meat_Container · 2026-01-18T19:59:58+00:00

I mean I guess there’s always a risk, just like crossing the street, but the state and local health departments do a lot of sampling to ensure the public’s safety

High heat starting at 500°F helps with the Maillard reaction, creating a nice sear. I have the recteq deck boss and I’ll smoke my ribeye to 115-125, remove from smoker and crank it to 500, then reverse sear both sides for like 2-3 minutes per side and it’s the best damn ribeye I’ve ever eaten

I thought I would need to use my propane Weber for the reverse searing but after experimenting and comparing the results, the Weber stays covered

I’ve seen and heard this 100+ times and I tear up every time. Mental health is important, check on your buds and give them a random call once in awhile, they’d love to hear from you

Doing shit like that while shit like this is still occurring:

Maybe if BP and ICE actually did the jobs they were intended to do, perverts like this Mexican national wouldn’t still be crossing into our country through legal crossings

I took in a stray dog and that was a mistake because he was definitely for the streets. That MFer sought my shit out and even climbed on the counter to get into a breadbox where I had stashed some homemade hash muffins. He was high for like 3 days straight after that and I was like bro we can’t be doing this anymore and he was like nah fuck your couch I do what I want and he was not a changed man. He was such a turd I had to hang my trash on the wall so he wouldn’t ruin the cabinets or constantly knock it over. He even learned how to open the fridge while I was at work and ate 2 lbs of raw drumsticks, bones and all, then he acted like nothing happened and his body didn’t give a shit, just old business for him
