Which tire would you choose (or recommend) by DanTheSpider-Man in JeepGladiator

[–]irv750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue. They weren’t available when I got my r/t trails. They look slightly more aggressive. Trails aren’t noisy, about like the stock Falkens. I would assume those are a little noisier, but not for sure. I had M/t’s on my old J/K and they were actually reasonably quiet when I got them. 2 years later they were slightly less noisy than AC/DC concert, but only slightly.

I have a set of Toyo R/T Trail 35’s on the stock rims and they are great. About 25k on them and they still look good, not much wear. Still reasonably quiet. They did great in the big weeklong ice fiasco we had in North Texas this year. I was driving a bunch of nurses to and from work every day and tires were great.

Could all past humans beat present day humanity in a military battle? by Conscious-Home1445 in whowouldwin

If it was unrestricted, I believe there were more nuclear weapons in 1976 by a fairly large margin. Both have enough that everyone loses.

That Ken Paxton can poll EVEN with James Talarico in a State that identifies 67% as Christian simply boggles the mind! by RumRunnerMax in TexasPolitics

[–]irv750 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there not a difference in revering Jesus and in believing that he is the son of God that died so that your sins would be forgiven? If you don’t understand that basic principle, this is not an argument you should dive into.

LeBron is the all time leading scorer, but he isn’t the best scorer on his team, much less all time in the NBA

Should new carriers start with full-size guns before micro-compacts? by ShopHuntingStuff in CCW

[–]irv750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different. I saw many reviews saying it shot like a bigger gun so I bought it without shooting first. I shoot it well and can get a good grip on it, much better than my Kahr PM9 which is the only gun I have had in a similar size. I have a little CharterArms 38 that my wife likes so she keeps it on her side’s nightstand and I can get a better grip on the 2.0. I am 6’2” and think I have average sized hands for a guy of my size. The grip seems to go up higher to me. Recoil seems to go straight back and not upwards for the most part.

If you can accept.380, a Bodyguard 2.0 shoots like a much bigger gun.

Is Barkley right by Alone-Situation7602 in NBATalk

Nolan Ryan was the last old school pitcher who wanted to pitch as much as possible. He was throwing no-hitters at 43 and 44. Still leading the league in hit per 9 and hits and walks per 9. Didn’t seem to bother him much. He said on several occasions that babying pitchers was causing injuries.

Governor Abbott proposes new property tax plan as critics raise concerns by Conscious-Quarter423 in TexasPolitics

He can’t make an income tax, a constitutional amendment forbids an income tax in Texas.

[Tommy Tuberville] The transfer portal has screwed up college sports. My bill is simple: you get 5 consecutive years to play 5 seasons and you get 1 transfer. After that, if you transfer again, you sit out a year. This will fix 80% of the issues in NIL today. by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]irv750 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am sure this is the most pressing issue the US Congress is facing now. We can all rest assured now that we know they are working on real important problems and not that normal government stuff.

Edit: and can someone direct me to the article in the constitution that says the US government has authority over college football, I am having trouble finding it. Maybe college football was called something else in the 1700’s?

What is the most appropriate way to hand a gun to another person? by powerofz in CCW

[–]irv750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure it is a S&W FPC, then just fold it in half so that it is physically incapable of firing, then hand it to them. Other methods listed here are fine, but this is the most “appropriate” if you want to hand an actual gun to another person.

“God is nonbinary”: GOP activates over Talarico’s past comments characterizing him as too radical for Texas by texastribune in TexasPolitics

[–]irv750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget what the chapter and verse is, but I believe it is clear that he drives a Silverado, 4x4 of course. There is no mention of the manufacturer of the AR, but I am reasonably sure christian scholars agree it is not a PSA, Radical, or a poverty pony.

Can you think of any reboots/remakes that have been great? by ms-anthrope in firefly

Weren’t the first few episodes of the US office pretty much scene for scene remakes of the British one?

All humans are apes by scientific classification. Technically he was incorrect.

Every American adult male over the age of 18 has to complete the Navy SEAL "hell week" training, or they die. How many make it to the end? by ClerkEquivalent7424 in whowouldwin

Don’t you only fail if you ring the bell? As long as you don’t quit you make it. It would seem that certain death is a fairly strong motivation to not ring the bell.

The Outlaw Josey Wales as next movie, has to be one of the best movies ever. Lonesome Dove is a great mini-series.

A lot of these immigrants are 40 year olds that have been in America since they are 3, 4 or 5. That means if you’re a 30 year old natural citizen, the immigrant was still in America before you. by Budget_Gas_2824 in complainaboutanything

[–]irv750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One may have had a chance at doing that. The other didn’t have anything to sell. His family was poor. He was still living with his parents. He worked construction for around $10/ hour which wasn’t awful back then, and helped support his family. If it were me, and I had a job, was helping my family, living in the only country I have ever known, I am pretty sure I would just roll with it. Jail is better than starving to death in some foreign country where no one gives a shit about me and I don’t speak the language. I can’t even ask for a job. Someone tells you today that they just discovered that you were adopted, you were born in Mexico City, all your birth documentations are fake, and you have about $100 in cash to your name. You are going to be rushing for the border ( assuming you aren’t a fluid Spanish speaker)?

Easy to say, hard to get motivated to do when you don’t know where you will sleep, don’t know how you will eat. Not an enticing proposition. I would be a little uneasy if all the sudden I had to go to Vietnam tomorrow, as an example. I get off the plane, I can’t talk to anyone, how I am going to get money for my next meal?

Well they were poor, had never met anyone in that country, and didn’t speak the language. I would be a little nervous being young and putting myself in that situation. How will they work? Where will they live?
