  1. Interesting. This seems to fit Robert Hanson pretty well.
  2. Death toll up to 115 and the Kremlin has confirmed it was ISIS. Just kidding, they detained 4 people who were just about to sneak into Ukraine... Of course https://apnews.com/article/russia-moscow-krasnogorsk-gunmen-concert-hall-fire-97e321c3c477ece36d4fb32f50fa0e8a
  3. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-20615790
  4. Am I correct that any app you use that would allow you to get around these issues would require both sender and receiver to use that app?
  5. Worth noting that the American government warned Americans in Russia to avoid large gatherings a few weeks go. We clearly knew something was up. Some experts are saying they believe the US would've shared that intelligence with Russia. Edit: just saw 956 mentioned this earlier.
  6. Saw it too. Essentially close-range executions of people cornered.
  7. Air defenses seem to be struggling. Ammo running low or gaps in the defense?
  8. I desperately hope they're forced to change, but it's been their MO since I can remember. I never got an iPod because they put it in their own "special" format while everyone else in the world was using mp3s. I know Apple recently promised to allow their devices to interact more nicely with others in messaging, so I wonder if that was a way to preclude the issues raised here.
  9. You seem really worked up on this. I think it's clear what Braff is saying. Those who are abused have a higher risk of being abusers. This is supported by the study and many others. Of course the entire population of abusers isn't mostly victims of abuse (which is what you seem to be arguing against), but that's just because victims are thankfully only a small percentage of the entire population. This isn't ground breaking. Cycles of abuse, violence, addiction, and healthy functioning in families are well documented. Some children exit the cycles for myriad reasons, while others repeat them.
  10. Powerful Realtor Group Agrees to Slash Commissions to Settle Lawsuits https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/15/realestate/national-association-realtors-commission-settlement.html?campaign_id=190&emc=edit_ufn_20240315&instance_id=117691&nl=from-the-times&regi_id=141347410&segment_id=160894&te=1&user_id=5edae170e2c7f9e85eb5207073ecafed
  11. Anyone else getting only negative Forbes articles about Ukraine? Seems like I get them in my Google News feed daily and they're never about anything positive for Ukraine and usually phrased in a pro Russian way. Not that negative things shouldn't be reported of course, but the phrasing and frequency of positive to negative is curious.
  12. I mean sure if you go to the nicer parts of any area, you'll find some attractive people but the ratio in corpus isn't favorable. This. I haven't spent extended time there since HS but I don't think it's changed dramatically. Unless obese cholas are your thing.
  13. Jake Sullivan just announced the US found $300MM in "cost savings" from negotiating previous packages and is announcing a new emergency security package of aid for Ukraine. He emphasized that it's nowhere near enough. https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-supplemental-war-russia-congress-4aa3731543757156858c2211773a5621
  14. Riff Raff wronged you. You should fervently pursue this... and post it here.
  15. I think this is one of the few areas where cash isn't king. It's my under understanding that you'll often pay more with cash
  16. Just to be clear, my comment was intended to be independent of yours. Wasn't directed to or critical of you at all.
  17. I've never bought from a dealer. I prefer Facebook marketplace (and previously Craigslist) and having a mechanic look at it before buying along with a car fax. I've had pretty good success over the last 15 years narrowing down to one or two vehicles within a range of years, milage, and price and then just waiting for the right one. I don't care much about cars beyond their utility and can't imagine paying the new vehicle prices I've seen for a car. On the lookout for a 2017-2020 Outback in my area, but hoping to see the prices drop a bit in the next few months. I'm shooting for around $18k with 40-60k milage. The number of private sellers who are pricing their vehicle far over KBB value has been really surprising. I assume they're either testing the waters in case someone wants it that bad or they're still living in the COVID bubble world.
  18. Just got 6 chicks. Any recs for a good beginner coop? We don't really have time to build one right now. We've been considering this one: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-villa-chicken-coop-12-chicken-capacity Any thoughts/suggestions?
  19. I assume you're aware of The Dispatch (thedispatch.com). If not, you'd probably appreciate it.
