As someone who's been on those roads with my dad, a truck driver... yeah, that's pretty much it. Seventh picture actually looks a lot like a place my dad delivered lumber to, in fact (though it was in Utah).

In a lot of these places, you end up sleeping in the truck for the night, in the gigantic parking lots of some Walmart (which we did in Nebraska and Iowa) or humongous truck stops, where you despair about the environmental costs, as in Nevada or Arizona, where you have to have truck run all night, to keep the A/C on.

Right on cue.



Fuck the burgers. This is Iraq vs. Iran. I hope they both lose.

So is it worth reading the news today or just leave it at me having seen this thread?

Seems Iran wants to talk.

The only impetus for talks would come from them not wanting to lose a second round of the leadership.   They seem to have somehow stopped the Israeli infiltration (probably shot everyone in the same tier on the org chart who kept being slightly late for meetings that got blown up). Otherwise the logic is they keep trashing the American Raj in the Gulf and only nations who cut direct deals with the leadership get to transit Hormuz. The regime seems to oscillate between conciliatory language and full jihad the next, which is smart. 

The Americans seem to be begging the Europeans (who have quite a lot of minesweepers as a legacy of the old NATO defense configuration) to come into the war and be stuck in an Iranian shooting gallery in the Persian Gulf. 

A plausible scenario is the Iranians just continue indefinitely, month after month, what they are doing today and the price of them stopping is at minimum, complete lifting of sanctions and no nuclear restrictions. Individual nations in SEA will cut separate deals to allow their shipping through which suits the regime perfectly.

Congratulations burgers, you are stuck in a reverse Ukraine.

In the US and Canada, wild pigs are a plague in some parts. 

From news stories I see about this - no man who was massively dunked on by the internet has been so consistently vindicated as the "30-50 feral hogs" guy.

HVC = Fascist!!! 

All hail Salazar!

Not a true one, but it will have to do for you, I guess. 

More so having cartels so in the open seems less than ideal. But then again when you have the number one buyer next door things are difficult.

That's the small price to pay for living so close to ™freedom™.

I mean maybe Mexico could stand to be a bit more authoritarian in that regard
