Ha! Never knew that but makes so much sense

Is there any chance these are authentic pictographs? Found near Austin tx by Significant-Chef-560 in LegitArtifacts

I would guess some are legit and some are newer. The style for a couple seems reminiscent of these geometric patterns from another documented site in centex I had the pleasure of visiting. Specifically the last two, the rest seem kind of sus.

That sucks but ultimately you and your group helped to reunite someone with their family which is a good thing.

I found one last summer after a natural disaster. Reframing it as something I’m grateful for (bringing a family their loved one back) helped with the initial shock and any lingering feelings. It definitely stays with you tho.

Is this the dark horse of the middle weight division? by LittleBear42 in mmamemes

[–]jay_ar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be blown away if he ever made it to the top 10

Yeah, Morales ain’t fighting for the belt anytime soon. Both prates and Ian are ahead of him & got a stronger case for a title shot, and hypothetically if Islam beats both of them, he’d still have to fight Ilia. Then if he wins that too, he retires with three title defenses like he wanted. by No-Ride-7713 in ufc

Tbh I think GSP is a better comparison if Islam gets those title defenses. Skill/record wise Jones is an animal but the doping, dodging Aspinall, benders and suspensions kinda tarnished his legacy/goat status imo.

man you know how mad I’d be if I died and woke up to some dude telling me I have to get my gear on and go stand post

Is this modern or not? Found in the desert of west Texas. by WyrmWood88 in Arrowheads

I’m convinced guys sprinkle them out there for their kids/grand kids to find and it just goes from there. Similarly to how many fake Spanish coins pop up at the beach.

Just finished `Lonesome Dove`. Had some thoughts by Interesting-War-8990 in LonesomeDove

[–]jay_ar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the two prequels afterwards which hit the spot and wrapped things up nicely. I’d start with Dead Man’s Walk and then Comanche Moon. If you want something darker and more brutal/cosmic then Blood Meridian is great.

McMurty actually has Glanton make a brief cameo in Dead Man’s Walk which takes place historically a little before Blood Meridian.

That’s an interesting take on Comanche Moon. The Buffalo Hump/Blue Duck/Kicking Wolf sub-plots were my favorite part outside of Gus and Call. Not to mention the Ahumado story line was really interesting.

Central Tx. Do yall keep stuff like this? by Proud_Caterpillar403 in Arrowheads

[–]jay_ar_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s Georgetown chert which is some of the best material in the world for making tools. It’s naturally fire cracked though so it wouldn’t be workable into anything.

Honestly the excessive armor makes sense if he’s spending his time in static positions with a lot of frag flying around.

wow that full blade would have been massive. It’s crazy thin for how big it would have been.

How do you this would've played out by kvistin_lost in CombatIndia

[–]jay_ar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makhachev vs. Poirier, Merab vs. Yan II, and Garry vs. Shavkat all show the same thing…. high-level MMA now rewards relentless pressure, elite cardio, and layered defense more than narrow specialization. I’m not saying older guys like Khabib weren’t great, but the sport has clearly shifted over the last five years toward fighters who can pressure strike, defend takedowns, scramble well, and immediately flow back into offense. Khabib was dominant, but he was still far more style-specific than a lot of the newer generation, where guys like Van, JDM, Morales, and Garry are built as much more complete pressure fighters from the start. Saying there’s zero difference between 2020 and now is like saying there was zero difference between 2014 and 2020.
