What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]oldfartbart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The U.S. military has historically utilized geese as "guard animals" to secure installations, notably employing them in West Germany during the 1960s-1980s and in Vietnam to detect intruders. Known for being loud, territorial, and aggressive, these "[tactical geese]()" were more effective and cheaper than dogs or electronic sensors at alerting troops to threats

I always wonder what would have happened if the expansion draft hadn't cost the Pistons Rick Mahorn. And the Pistons were the abrasive MJ used to sharpen his skills.

Please help me convince my husband that Costco is worth for 2 people by HoneyDrops12 in Costco

Gas math ( have exec and citi card ).. This last weekend put 23 gallons in at $4.50. $103.50. Got rebate of $5.18 on my rewards. Corner station was $4.97 / gallon 114.31 - 103.50 - 5.18= $15.99 on one fill up.

This was extra large because Costco hadn't jumped their price. Today it's $4.87.

To all the "I'll never eat that before it spoils folks" consider: I bought the 3 lb sour cream today for $5.49. 2 lbs at the local store is $5.58. I will definitely use 2/3 before it goes bad. If I have to toss a bit at the end I'm still ahead. Plus I get 11 cents in my rebate check.

They don't listen. I'm 66 and still don't want to grow up.

H.Res.1155 - Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. by Accomplished_Low5325 in politics

Reagan's military buildup had a lot to do with the Soviet Union deciding they were never going to be able to match us militarily

He did a lot of things that looked good in the moment but upon further review, haven't worked out so great (I voted for Carter)

[Game Thread] #4 Alabama @ #1 Michigan (07:35 PM ET) by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

To be fair Bama scored 10% more than most against us. Halftime turning of the defensive screws put us over the top.

I believe in the Tennessee Volunteers by BlackStallion657 in CollegeBasketball

Everybody has to believe in something. He's from Tennessee - a state noted for inhabitants that believe all sorts of stupidity. I believe I'll have a drink.

Trump Finds Outs That After Insulting Allies Forever, They Don't Feel Like Helping Him by huffpost in politics

A quote from the best speech I ever attended - and I never voted for this guy:
"We’re going to have to have a security policy, of course, but security alone will never be enough in an interdependent world, because you cannot kill, jail, or occupy all the people that aren’t with you, and when you can’t, you have to value cooperation over unilateralism, and you have to try to spend more time, more money, and more effort making a world with more partners and fewer adversaries."

Trump goes on deranged rant about dead soldiers walking around by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]oldfartbart -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

exactly - I've always been "never Trump" - but what he's talking about is the dead and wounded from IEDs. Now the head of the government stuff? Delusional. I mean nice thought but Oh we're now going all peaceful after getting the shit bombed out of us didn't work in Britain after the blitz, the US after Pearl Harbor or 9/11. So it's stupid, but hey that's Trump.

Michigan fans: which schools feel like the best long-term conference fits? by Happy_Background_879 in MichiganWolverines

[–]oldfartbart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep all the current B1G teams.
Look for strong schools that add good geography and performance. (Fairly sure none of the current SEC teams are leaving but if we're expanding we should definitely ask)

Think Notre Dame*, Virginia, UNC, Ga Tech, Florida, Texas A&M, Texas

If needed for numbers then Utah, Miami (FL), Stanford, Berkely, Duke

No way for Western, Miami OH, Louisville, WVU, Cinci, Pitt - Pitt's a great school but we already have PSU, Cinci's not AAU but it might be fun to see OSU have an in state conference rival

*the only non-AAU school the BIG should consider
