  1. Fair point. Depends on how you define escalation. Is anything we do pure, unwarranted escalation? No. We respond to the opponent's escalation by coming up to their level (i.e., they go from 6 to 7, we got from 6 to 7. They go from 7 to 8, we go from 7 to 8. You can't deny that this meets some definition of "escalation of our level of involvement". But I can't argue with your point that we're not escalating unilaterally.
  2. Based on the account it was posted from name "Real Subtitles?", I'm pretty confident it's fake.

  4. It would certainly be tempting! Also, part of me wonders what I would do in that situation. Like, the door or that wall of glass is almost guaranteed to give out at some point right? And a massive swell of water is going to wreak havoc on everything down there and possibly weaken the entire structure. Would it not make some bit of sense to drill a couple big holes in the lower part of that door and let the room fill/equalize at a more gradual pace? Maybe this belongs in the dumb question amnesty thread.
  5. I’ll never understand why anything built on the seashore is ground level. Is it really that cost prohibitive to put absolutely everything on stilts/piers/whatever? I sort of understand if you’re quite a bit inland and the only risk is a direct hit from a near-record-breaking hurricane, but within short walking distance to the beach? That’s just crazy
  6. I’ve gotten additional details. Apparently they were jogging on the trail behind my place and passed a woman who said β€œbe careful, there’s a copperhead right in the middle of the path back there.” They eventually came across the snek a few minutes later and its head was already mostly smashed, but it was still wiggling around. They dropped the big stone and ground it’s head to put it out of its misery. Not sure what would’ve caused the rattling sound they described. Didn’t have this when I first posted, but here’s a picture they took as they approached it.
  7. Couple screenshots from the video
  8. My guess was hognose, but I don’t really know what the shedding does to a snakes pattern
  9. IMG_0320.MOV ID? These broads claimed it was rattling
  10. He straight up said this, but I don't know if he realized it. He said "someone out there has now decided that core economic infrastructure is a viable target." Now THAT is something I could see Putin arranging. "They blew up our pipeline first, now it's totally fair game for us to destroy all that stuff that we're not supposed to under the Geneva Convention (or whatever international law it is that says those things are off limits)."
  11. Ended up hitting up the archives. Did the first 20 and these were my results: Fail - 0 1 star - 0 2 star - 1 3 star - 6 4 star - 6 5-star - 7 So my initial assumption was only half right. No idea how you could ever fail, but not all that hard to be perfect. It's definitely fun though

  13. Smart. He heard about fuckin in hot tubs. No risk of child support for that guy
  14. Best theory I've got... a bit John Grisham or Tom Clancy-ish, but someone wanted to make sure the gas couldn't be turned back on. If it's no longer possible, certain countries can't even begin to entertain the idea of making a deal with Russia. ETA: I'm not saying this is more likely than some half-cocked Russian plan. It's just the best theory I could come up with for it being anybody else
