On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the open thread, which is……open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!
I can’t believe it’s only Thursday. I’ve been thinking it was Thursday ever since Tuesday, I’m ready for this week to end. So, Friday, if you could just go ahead and hurry up & get here, that would be super spectacular. Our trip to Florida interrupted many of my usual tasks, one of the tasks it interuppted was getting my boat winterized, so that still isnt’ done. Since it’s still not winterized, I figured a guy might as well take the boat fishing. Since we’re gonna be going fishing, I figured a guy might as well rent a cabin on Devils Lake and go try to catch a few of those fall walleye and enjoy a cigar or two (thanks Five!). My wife is off reffing volleyball, so it’s just kiddo and I, so lock up your women! SKOL!!!!!!!!
Fill ’em up, and we’ll make more!
In case you hadn’t heard the news, Philly got better. Not the city, the team. The city still sucks, but their football team got better.

Let’s gooooo
New forecast;
Fun times!
You got hunters out in that? That’ll make it a good experience, lol.
Yep, 3 of them with their guides. They ordered the full adventure package, so I called in a favor with the weatherman.😁
I wonder if any team has ever made it to the Owl with a bottom 3 defense and a bottom 5 offense? Record setting Vikings football!!
I wonder how bars get charged by streaming companies now that a lot of games are on streaming…
Anyone going to watch the Giseles vs that other team tonight?
wood if I cood but I can’t, so I won’t
Missing a fun time up here right now. 80 knot westerlies last night. Suppose yo be 40+ through Sunday. 35-30 degrees. I’m not going anywhere for a while
Must be approaching 25 footers on the water now.
I miss those days when it was marginal whether a guy would live or die.
Forecast 20 footers and freezing spray. Likely bigger than that though
You’re not on the ocean, no need to measure speeds in Knots matey.
How many feet from the ocean does he need to be before he can’t talk about knots any more?
Lol

@no way that is a somali, they drive great@
awesome!!!
Nice, have almost had 3 or 4 accidents with minivan drivers in the last month.
If I wasn’t paying attention I’d be begging for car parts like everyone else.
Sister and her hubby hit a deer almost a month ago. Auto body shop has no clue when they’ll get the rest of the parts in that were broke, like sensors and plastic parts for a 2021 Grand Cherokee. Car is just sitting there at the shop.
Interesting to learn this summer much of the supply shortage is caused by local gvt (dems) requiring union truck drivers or new trucks(not available) or trucks that use some fuel additive that isn’t available. This while non union trucking companies that can’t get work are not allowed to get imports and are going broke.
tl:dr. democrats doing so intentionally
Are you STILL blaming Biden for high gas prices?
I blame Ponder, but that goes without saying.
You are wrong again, it is Kirk’s fault
possibly true considering that gas guzzling conversion van he still drives.
I’m leaning towards Ponder, but Kirk shares some blame for sure.
I blame it on the rain…..
Yes, wtf does that have to do with anything? There is comp. They are taking profits due top the senile pile of shit you idolize
You are the dumbest MF’er alive. You’re so anti lib twisted you can’t understand how they manipulate market speculation to increase prices on their products and hurt consumers. Just because they’re a god damn corp you stupid piece of shit doesn’t give them the right to gouge consumers.
you stupid puke lib that has nothing to do with it. You are so un educated it’s fkn pathetic.
No context and actually believes their lies
Exactly and all it takes it the “greedy corps made all this money but not me who blows up balloons”. They had better profits in qtr 2, lmao. The reason is lack of supply. just unreal
they are publicly owned. Which means the public who owns them made the profit. For all we know, cooter has them in his retirement fund and he’s bitching at himself
Wow here’s a couple of wingers who’ve never seen the inside of a boardroom. You morons don’t know shit. Keep blaming the libs you white grievance filled nazi fucks.
lol, this is great
You cannot possibly know how stupid you sound calling Libertarians Nazis.
He can’t possibly know how stupid he sounds blaming a public company for taking profits DUE to his stupid ass senile fool he voted for
Like being dead, he doesn’t know he’s stupid
This ^^ is exactly how the left plays their fool voting base. Literally ZERO idea how stuff works. Why didn’t they have it last year you dumbfuck???? Please tell us all?? Can’t wait
You’re the one who has no idea bright boi shit for brains. You spew out lies and untruths in to everything is the libs fault.. how about I fuck you up call me.
lol, you are so stupid it is literally beyond belief. Plus, I’d slap you around sally
here’s a bit of how it works stupid commie. lol Guess who caused that?
Shell’s shares have gained more than 40% so far this year, lifted by soaring oil and gas prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February and amid tightening global oil and gas supplies.
Oh wait…so now the Russian war does affect gas prices and you’ll defend Shell’s profits with that example but high gas prices in America is Biden’s fault and he can’t use the Russian war excuse. I really need to punch you in the face. Call me.
lol, who started a proxy war? No, we should have been way ahead pumping tons more but guess what party shut it down?
lastly it’s not an American company you mindless twit
Wtf you simpleton…no one said it was an American corp you fucking dimwit. They do business in America so they can be regulated but of course you don’t want that because you’re a fascist pos that needs hung high like the rest of the Nazi’s. Call me bitch.
Uh…. You bitch!
lol, well done
lol
Take that, all you momma dogs!
I read an interesting article that explained how fascists and nazis used the terms against their enemies and in doing so they have lost all meaning because of having been used incorrectly the majority of the time by real fascists and nazis.
lol
lol, what was the roi and dividends? To retards this seems like it matters, but put it into context and you will see communist propaganda
they just raised it by 15% but guess who will play this as “greedy corps”?
you’re a 1099 loser who corps won’t hire. Why are you protecting them? I earn a salary from 3 different corps yet I can still be critical of how they take advantage of consumers.
do all three add up to $13.99/hr?
Are they public corps owned by the public? So basically the consumers who are getting screwed are the owners.
So lets get this straight…
Shell produced 49,623,210,000 gallons of fuel or equivalents.
$9.5 billion divided by the above amount equals 19.144 cents per gallon profit.
They lost approximately 20 billion in 2020 when people really couldn’t drive or vacation anywhere.
Federal government charges 18.3 cents per gallon on gas, 24.3 cents per gallon on diesel.
Add in state and local taxes. The rest is in production costs, distribution, and retail gas station costs.
nope! greedy corps and orange man bad!
This is who you support you pos….kinda hoping for civil war so I can see dumb mf’ers like you put down.
You know this isn’t true don’t you. This is communist propaganda, nothing more.
Oh no, not facts put into context. That ruins their lies.
Yep.
Because he won’t increase supply to lower demand and thus lower the price.
Econ 101.
I guess I wouldn’t expect a communist to get that.
lol, That’s the beauty of it. He posts this and doesn’t have a clue that his idiot fake pres caused it.
Show me where he won’t increase supply. Oh that’s right it’s BS.
Closing all federal lands to oil exploration and drilling and stopped issuance of new permits as of the day he took office.
100% fact. We live it every day here. You are intentionally misinformed or intentionally lying.
They passed the Alaska Statehood with the agreement in the Statehood Compact that the Federal Government would let Alaska develop all the natural resources.
That’s as bad of a lie as the government breaking a bazillion treaties with the Native Americans.
Yep and many other violations of the statehood act including ANILCA. All of them being illegal.
Joe Biden…..
” My plan is to eliminate all fossil fuels…”
You don’t even know the guy you support.
On September 9, 2019, then-candidate Joe Biden made a clear and unequivocal promise: I want you to just take a look. I want you to look into my eyes. I guarantee you; I guarantee you, we are going to end fossil fuel, and I am not going to cooperate with them.”
So I was reading the morning thread and there seems to be some confusion about voter id, voter registration, current law and past cases on it.
Currently all identification cards require you to purchase them. Because of this, and this alone, they cannot be required to vote. The courts have ruled it is the same as a poll tax, which are illegal and it is a correct ruling.
Until very recently, in order to vote, a person had to register to vote at least 30 days before the election. Different jurisdictions have different requirements on how long one must be a resident in order to vote.
When you register to vote you must prove you can legally do so. Proof of residency and citizenship may be required. These are not considered a poll tax by the courts and can be required.
In AK they give us a voter registration card, which is not required to vote, cause they have it in their records anyway.
If they would issue a voter id card for free after proving you can legally vote, they could be required at the polls. They could have the persons pic on it and a magnetic strip like a passport or cc, recording all the info of that card. When and where used basically.
The lids are frantically fighting the voter id cards. Other than cheating, what possible reason could there be?
Lids don’t like voter id cards? That seems odd, but you never know about those lids.
Those damn lids just like to cover up things.
You should both be ashamed of making fun of a handicapped person. My hands are like claws on a good day. Combine that with being near blind and you should feel shame
Put a lid on it narf narf narf
it’s easy to fix but they are piles of shit
It’s interesting because I recently moved to a new county in Montana and so registered to vote. Basically you provide your address and attest that at the time of the next election you will have been in the county 30 days. You must provide your DL#, last 4 of your SS#, or other alternate form of ID described therein. The three items you must attest to including the above and 2) you are a citizen and 3) will be 18.
I always chuckled because as a non citizen I could have provided all the necessary information and lied about the citizen part and likely been registered to vote. In fact I wonder how they would even determine you lied? Your signature also occupies a box that states you are not serving a felony conviction and there is bold black text at the top of the form that states you must be a citizen.
Democrats move to expand voting rights for felons | The Hill
they can trace your social security # to see if you are who you say you are.
Anchorage police officer deported after being found to be a lying Mexican. Been here for decades using fake SS#
Yup, decades.
Only got him while trying to renew, get that, renew his passport.
Well, you only have to provide the last four of your social. Besides, I (obviously) had to get a SS# when I started working in the US on my work visa, before I could collect my first paycheque.
You didn’t do like everyone in California, just use someone else’s?
L A Z Y
yes, but with the last 4 they can tell if you are who you say you are if they want to.
I’d say half of the SecStates and most of the AG’s will never prosecute a voter cheater.
Besides, once that vote goes into the count, there is virtually almost nothing that can get it thrown out.
The courts need to set a precedence. If a vote is added fraudulently it must be removed. If the process is violated, the entire jurisdiction must be removed.
So if observers are removed, that entire election from that precinct is invalidated. It should have been done in 2020.
They should also execute those who intentionally violated the process for treason, including law enforcement who support it.
There are a lot of conspiracies to commit voter fraud. Need to execute the ones at the top especially.
This is the problem. There is no real proof required in most states, just attestation.
And do you think the SOS or AG will follow up on any proof most places?
I 100% agree with this.
Which feels weird
Anything is for sale at the right price. No way I’d let him go for a day 3 pick. For that, it’s worth keeping him as insurance in case Cook gets injured.
He has 11 games left, that’s it.
I doubt he’ll retire after the season, he’s still young.
Correct, but he has no contract and will want too much money. Just draft another guy for 900k a year
Rather keep Mattison and trade Cook.
Can’t trade Cook, worth way less than Mattison and Mattison ain’t worth much.
Cook gonna cost a lot of cash next year.
We need all that money to pay Kirk
If we could deal both of them for a couple seconds this year I’d take that in a heartbeat.
Would be nice, but doubt we would get any takers. Seems like RBs are a dime a dozen.
Get whatever you can. He’s off his rookie contract and gone next season anyway along with Cook. Spend the money on defense so we aren’t bottom 3 again.
I think they should trade him for a 2nd rounder.
if you get a 2nd rounder for 11 games from a back up rb, you would be a retard not to take it and a retard to offer it
I have four tickets to John Michael Montgomery. Listening to my usual AM station on my way to work, called in & won the dumb things. Anyone near Bismarck interested in going? I can’t, I’ll be fishing. 4 tickets at 4 Bears Casino up by New Town, show starts at 8:00 pm tomorrow night.
never heard of he/him
Country singer from the early 90s, decent music, much better than the techno-pop shit they play on country stations now.
Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident), I Swear
Yep. This was his best, IMO.
Ever hear about the guy from NY driving through ND in his cadillac?
He stops at a gas station and the kid comes out to pump the gas and he asks “WTF do you do around here?” The kid says we hunt and we fuck.
The NY guy says what do you hunt for? The kid says:
lol, fuck this.
LOL,
Lol.
Remember when some dude couldn’t post a twitter link.
lol yeah
Glad I haven’t been on the Tweeters. May go on now that Jerk is gone and someone who doesn’t cower in a corner every time a green-hair looks his way is in charge…
Man, I’ve given you tutorials on this multiple times now. It isn’t that hard and shouldn’t be that hard for somebody who claims to be the smartest among us.
test
lol. Can’t you just type it into the box?
Yeah its kinda funky, you have to type the actual spoiler in between the brackets, like ] here [
wait, wut? You hit spoiler and it opens the pop up box. You can’t type into that or you have to put those in even in the pop up box?
you type what you want everyone to see in the box
then after you apply it you type what you want under the spoiler
Just type where it is when it is applied
Like this
so you hit spoiler, the box pops up and you type it blew 80 here last night.
then you hit the okay box and it puts it in the comment box
when it goes to the comment box you type reminds me of kym at that bachelor party.
Don’t move or click anything, just type what you want hidden.
got it, finally a solid explanation
perfect
Testes, testes, 1, 2…….3?
It’s so much fun watching boomers try to work technology.
Like you trying to look out a window without standing on a box.
The sad part is coming in here and seeing Kodiak is legitimately giving out IT advice. I feel sorry for the tube that rube.
It was also rather amusing today for GF to throw a glob at boomers, too, after 10 years of him throwing up the confused farmer every time a techie thing came up.

Game prediction
Vikes win 34-35. We allow over 500 yards of offense and are 1-15 on 3rd down conversions. Beaker is 17 of 32 for 157 yards and one td. We have less than 200 yards total offense. Cards turn the ball over 5 times. 2 pick 6’s and 2 fumble 6’s. 4 defensive penalties on our final game winning drive(from Card turnover) allow us to win the game by scoring with zero time on the clock.
Greasy and Jobu are in control.
Man, my yawner is really oiled up and active today.
I thought you called her canoe girl?
Lol, don’t ever get old. All I want is a nap.
Not enough politics 2.0: Oz up 3 in PA in latest poll. OMG!
I’m only going to give you a 5 out of 10 for effort on this post.
You’d have gotten a ten if you talked about Oregon or Washington or New Hampshire, where the GOPhers are gaining rapidly.
GOP won’t win any of those states IMO.
I would love to be wrong.
I accept the grade from Adrenaline….
I think the GOP might win Oregon….I have relatives out there and they claim the possibility of a Republican win is real….I guess even lefties get sick of lawlessness.
Obviously talking about the Govenor.
Will be interesting to see the final legit tally. Not sure if we ever will, though.
not a chance
Not a chance, Portland and Eugene are communist strong holds.
Would be a shocker. However, it sure seems like people in the hard left states are starting to become a little disenfranchised with the agenda. I seriously doubt Oregon ever becomes conservative, but the leftward movement seems to have stopped at least.
Nope, you are insulated from it because as you admitted, you don’t watch main stream media. The full scale attack of American capitalism is ongoing and increasing.
After the last election I don’t see how we have a chance to ever win again. They program the voting machines to cheat.

I missed the notification that the Vikings did…….ANYTHING.
Another funny prank I played while in the Air Force – I was at a buddy’s house for dinner – we were having chili dogs the cheap way – package of Ball Parks and a can of Hormel.
They had a dog that they fed canned food. His wife was still at work – we were having beers. I took a can of the dog food, carefully removed the label and stuck it on the can of Hormel.
She got home and headed to the kitchen to find us. I told my buddy “I’ll feed the dog for you” – opened up the can of chili with the dog food label on it – got a spoon and scooped some out, making like I was going to transfer it to the dog dish.
Held it up to my nose and said, “Ya know, these dogs are so spoiled nowadays – their food is better than human food” and popped it into my mouth, swallowed it down.
She hurled on the spot.
Damn, that’s funny!
That’s funny. While I was at Army BCT someone played this prank where they shit in another guys boot one night. The boot belonged to a guy like 5 bunks down from me. He went to get dressed in the morning and just stuck his foot right in a pile of shit. Pranks kind of ended after that, never figured out who did it either. I didn’t think it was all that funny myself.
Not gonna lie, at first I was thinking someone would end up eating dog food when you switched labels
Interesting game tonight.
I expect the Ravens to win, but Brady needs to change the narrative.
