    Nutty Putty has always creeped me out but still I could read about it and watch vids on it without any sort of visceral reaction.  This, though, I had to stop watching.  3:20-7:30 is about the most awful shit I’ve seen on the internet in my whole life.

    why in the hell would someone climb into a cave like that? I just don't get thrill seekers that put their life at that much risk. wasteful

    Hidden deep below the headquarters of the United Nations’ aid agency for Palestinians in Gaza City is a Hamas complex that Israel says served as an important communications center for the Islamist militant group

    Just fuck. So many webs and lies in the world. And yes, I know the US has its fingers in a lot, but every country has the stink of deceit on them. I am feeling almost 100% the world needs a reset button.

    yes, I know this is just opinions, no financial accountability or liability, no repercussions and no prison time if things shit the bed.

    Seriously? It's a pretty bad series, start to finish, so the bar was set very low and yet, somehow, the finale gave the impression it was written by 12-year-olds ... or Steven Seagal.

    Wait a minute. Aren't we all 12-year-olds here?!?!!? Thats why Surly likes it.

    I know Pakistan has nukes.  And the Iranians are savages.  But this crap in the ME has been going on for 70 years.  Until we let them thin eachother out, it won't change.

    70?

    Try 7,000

    and it will never end

    The letter was a necessary predicate.  It wasn't intended or expected to yield results.  Rather, it was intended to set a narrative that the Houthis were warned and continued their action, which supports things like the UN resolution and then military action consistent with same.

    It's like sending a demand that an opposing party perform under the contract or else they'll be sued.  You don't send it expecting them to see the light and perform.  You send it because it's a legally prerequisite to recovering your attorney's fees in the lawsuit that you're gonna file.

    @nineliveslost for what it's worth, and slightly morbid, here is a link to the SSA's life expectancy chart.  At 54, they estimate a man has an average of 25.06 years remaining. If you make it to 60, you have 20.47 years.  The much quoted 73 years of life has the stupid years baked into it that don't allow you to get out of your 20s.  This chart basically resets expectations based on current age.

    Good info. Kinda matches up to the plan I was throwing out above. I get to 60 and have 20 good years left, then it gets creepy. 20 years isn't long.

    You and I are aligned on the same plan but I'm currently saving a little less. I'm also 54 but targeting retiring at 62-64 so at least 8 more years of working. I like my job so I'm not necessarily in a rush to leave.

    My big driver to get out at 60 is the average life expectancy of an American male is 73. (7 years ago it was 76) that's just 13 years on average. Let's say I make it another 10 years to 83. I am not going to be very active past 80 more than likely. So I look at it as 20 years with good fun with making the most out of it and then after 80 that type of life starts dramatically falling. After 85 I guess you're just fumbling around waiting for the cold hand of death. At 90 your quality of life is mostly drool and body aches. The wife will have a blast being she is 15 years younger, and the average life span of a female is 81. throw on another 10 because of good health and genes and her days are filled with relative opulence. And I can guarantee you after I pass they will discover an anti or de-aging drug
