I didn't realize we'd finally tilted the modern W/L back in our favor. Satya giving the board a fun positive fact is the real Christmas miracle!19 points

There is literally nobody who loved Christmas more than my late father. His 9th Armor unit defended the crossroads town of St. Vith during the Bulge from 16 December until Christmas Eve, when Monty told them to find their way west to the 82nd airborne, who were creating an escape pocket. Staying inside a Sherman for eight or nine days in that cold was not pleasant according to dad. Something about conduction. But finally arriving safe behind Allied lines on Christmas Eve - and enjoying a hot Christmas dinner the next day when you’ve been convinced for a week you had to hold on until you died - made an indelible mark on his appreciation of Christmas. Merry Christmas to all. My Christmas miracle was I woke up in a soaking wet bed with no fever or blinding headache for the first time in four days. My dog had been staring at me, wondering why I suddenly hated him and refused to walk him. *not my dad‘s tank, but 7th armored Shermans at St. Vith. The seventh was at the northern end of the fortified goose egg, the 9th defended the southern end. Something about that photo relays just how cold it was.17 points

My 2nd Christmas now off the mainland. With any luck next year will be the final Christmas I spend on American soil. For this year I’ll work, maybe go see a movie and get my fishing gear together to go early next week for a couple of days of fishing and swimming. Today I am just going to remember that my Oma, all of 18 years old was spending her first year since she was 5 without having the Nazis in power in Germany. She was pregnant with my dad. She had a sister that survived the war, but she lost her brother at Stalingrad. She would turn 19 on January 24, 1946 and my dad was born the next day. He was one of the 250,000 German children who were born with American GI’s for dads at the end of the war. My dad never met his real father. I do kinda wonder what Christmas was like for my Oma in 1945 in her hometown in Eschwege. I’ll think of her today and how much I still miss her 35 years after she passed away from Ovarian cancer. So many good memories with her at Christmas. I’ll call my mom and talk to my niece and nephew to see what Santa brought them as well. They’re 6 and 3 so it should be fun to listen to them.16 points

Making final preparations. Not too much left to do. Wife is helping preside at the 4:00 service, we’re all attending the 6:00 service tonight, I’ll be the reader for the passage from Matthew. Both kids are here. They couldn’t come home last year; the boy was stuck in Germany with visa challenges due to the backlog of applicants from the war. Yeah, our kid couldn’t come home “because of the war.” Odd phrase to be saying, but there we are. And it turned out to be our last Christmas with my father, who was gone a month later. So, we’re still digging through generations worth of their stuff. 1944. Probably somewhere in France. My grandfather spent a very cold Christmas tending to the P-47s of his unit, hoping they could get in the air to provide some much-needed air support to the troops on the ground holding off the German counteroffensive at the Bulge. A ranching man from deep South Texas, at war in Europe. A few months later, he would cross the Rhine at Worms. Today, his great-grand daughter lives and studies near the banks of the Rhine, downstream at Bonn. The world keeps turning, taking us to places, then back again. Some Christmases are peaceful reveries with family. Some are bitterly cold, in a tent (or worse), unsure of how a war will end. I’m not sure what to do with that truth. I’m glad grandpa Ted came home, and raised my mother, who had just been born in January of that year. I’m glad that our family has gone back to Germany, making friends, and a future. I don’t know what next Christmas will be like. But we have this one, right in front of us. I hope you can spend it with people you love. I hope your tent is warm, wherever it may be.13 points

On two separate occasions in a discussion with an aggie, I have heard with my own ears the claim that they would have won every game against Texas from 2012-2023. I had one guy start to get both vehement and visibly angry when I mocked his nonsense with “yeah, I know, you guys are undefeated in all of the games you never played. The aggies are absolute badasses in alternate universes that only you can conjure. “ They fervently believe that nonsense. It’s something to behold.12 points

A “hate UT” store or boutique would probably do booming business in Collie Station. If I had some spare change I might try it during a football season by opening a pop up store during game weekends . I’d sell every thing with “Saw’em off” and “Horns down” with some t.u and damn ‘sips sprinkled in. I’d name it “Saw’em Off” just to get the foot traffic in the store. And on the back of the receipt in very small print would be all proceeds go to UT athletics and NIL activities to see if these Goobers would catch on that they’ve been had.12 points

The standard refrain from A&M fans was always "Well, we lead the series since 1984", followed by some contrived justification for '84 being an important year or whatever. Or 1975 from some of the older aggy fans. But they don't even have that anymore. There is now NO year after which A&M leads the rivalry, for the first time in a long time. That more than anything is indicative of how one-sided the Lone Star Showdown has become.9 points

More on the Ukrainians retaking it. Putin was trying to use it as background leverage in the peace talks, like “you better give us what we want because we continue taking your land” and if this holds up, it’s going to be fucking huge in the coming weeks and months. Russian sources are widely confirming the loss of the terrorist army’s control over the city of Kupiansk a month after Putin claimed it was taken. A lengthy analytical piece was published by Rybar, awkwardly titled “Problems near Kupiansk”. The layout can be seen in the screenshot. Some Russian sources are even more blunt, while security-service-curated million-subscriber channels, on the contrary, are trying to tone down the negativity.9 points

No because Flood had to help out with the defensive backs and couldn't spend his full time with the Oline. Now that Akina is gone, he can again devote his time to the Oline. - Sark, probably.8 points

I know a real story close to this a guy that lived in the independent living place my mom lived in for a few months stopped and talked to me one day and was telling me about storming the beach at Normandy and some other things a few days later the maintenance guy was securing a new shelving unit to the wall that I had bought for my mom and it was near the end of the day so we were BSing for a bit and I was saying I need to talk to the one guy more and hear about things from him he told me that after landing at Normandy that guy's unit went all the way through France and into Germany and one day when pretty much everyone on both sides knew the war was over and that Germany was going to lose he that guy was in a trench with the Germans about 20 yards or less in their trench and something happened and he popped up out of the trench just as a German did both holding their rifles at the ready......and after a second or two the guy dropped his.....then the German guy dropped his and they both stared at each other for a few seconds then slowly climbed back down into their trenches and pulled their rifles back to them and went on about their day and the war ended not long after that I said to the maintenance guy you would have to have a really strong mindset after seeing the things at Normandy happening to those around you, then going through France, and here you are facing one of the ones on the other side of all that and you just decide "not today" and "no need for another senseless killing" when the war was all but done he said after the war the guy became a driver for a general that was high up in the reconstruction of Europe and he drove all around Europe in a Jeep and saw a ton of historical stuff and places most people hardly know of I always remembered him too because he was 94 and pretty much all still there and about once a month a whole gaggle of hot women that were daughters (probably a tad bit older than me) and grand daughters (a little younger than me) would come in to visit him and a few great grand daughters would roll in too and occasionally a great grandson.....hell I think there might have even been some great great grand kids too....I thought that guy has lived a hell of a life8 points

"Russia and we are like two boxers in the 12th round." - Biletskyi, commander of the 3rd Army Corps. He notes that for the first time, the Russian army is failing to replenish its losses - more soldiers are being knocked out than new ones are arriving. Furthermore, they face a catastrophic situation regarding weaponry, including armored vehicles, artillery systems, and other equipment. Footage of the destruction of a Russian assault column near Dobropillia by the 1st Separate Assault Regiment. The state of the equipment is worth noting: these no longer even resemble tanks - they are true Frankensteins, crudely welded together by their crews, only to be dismantled piece by piece by FPV drones. A genuinely desperate army.8 points

Our daughter and son-in-law flew down from Oregon Monday, and our son and daughter-in-law drove down from Waco today. This is our first Christmas with both kids here in four or five years, so it is wonderful to have the six of us under one roof, even if only for about 24 hours. Today my son-in-law and I smoked a brisket that's resting in the smoker right now. My daughter-in-law baked some cookies, made some treats, and brought potato salad. Tomorrow we guys will smoke some sausage and pork belly burnt ends, and we'll feast for lunch. I can't wait to eat! It's also the first Christmas since my dad died. It's really tough on my brothers and me, especially my youngest brother. We're getting through, but damn I miss that old fart. So this Christmas is a strange mixed feelings. Merry Christmas you wonderful assholes. I wish you all the very best.8 points
