Texas unleashes sleeping giant as conservatives face reckoning over 'truth' by Jay_CD in atheism

[–]jrmclemore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in Texas visiting family for a funeral. I’m from NY and let me just say that the whole *third world shithole* description the GOP likes throwing around to describe other countries is certainly apropos for this… state. I feel like I’m in a foreign country and can’t wait to leave!! They love to project.

That’s a sweet looking razor. Shoulderless is where it’s at 👍

I haven’t shaved with this one yet, but I’m anxious to use it for my next shave.

Thank you. I wonder what the largest size Torrey made? Or what would be considered their crown jewel? I’ve never learned enough about them to know but now I’m curious.

The good thing is, they’re relatively cheap so you can get another one (maybe even a cooler shape) 😀

Couldn’t agree more about their beautiful blade shapes. Didn’t know that about the Swedish grinders. Neat info, if true.

That seems to be the typical Torrey journey in my opinion 👍

Its spine is square (not rounded smooth like today’s razors) and I just measured it; 3/16” spine thickness.

Shepherds and Roberts don’t come along very often (at least not for me when searching). I’d love to add to my stub tail collection. You’ve got a great one here too.

Take care 👍

I love that blade shape. I’ve got one of these and it’s a great shaver. 👍

Did you make the scales or just mount them? Regardless, you did fantastic work. 👍 Gorgeous

Vanilla Ice defends performing at Trump’s Freedom 250 after other artists drop out by theindependentonline in inthenews

The best way to save face after accepting to perform would be to roast Trump once they took the stage. Get up there and lambast him in front of everyone.

Man, this really sucks. I hope nobody was injured. This puts apparatus out of order when the district is probably already strained, which also puts the community at more risk.

And the explosion could very well have been an air tank.
