  1. They finally caught it, people don’t realize how fast those tankers are.
  2. BEING ME A PHONE TO SET HERE SO I CAN LOOK LIKE IM READY TO MAKE IMPORTANT PHONE CALLS
  3. More from WSJ https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/the-brutal-maduro-enforcer-standing-in-trumps-way-in-venezuela-65102c3a
  4. And apparently we don’t even have the naval resources to do a proper blockade, from the WSJ, a ship made it all the way to….*checks notes*….Iceland
  5. Hegseth still got that “inactive reserve major” energy going on.
  6. You can be disappointed, and it can piss you off - Burt Reynolds was a nice guy as far as almost everybody is concerned, but he was unhappy (when he was dating her) that Sally Field was finding critical acclaim while he was pigeon-holed into Smokey and the Bandit-style roles even though his movies were ruling the box office. He had every right to be bitter after he didn't get a lot of dramatic roles after Deliverance (and he was probably pissed that Voight got more attention out of Deliverance than he did) - his career would have been far different had he at least received some decent nominations with Deliverance. But he still kept it together, went to television when it seemed the right thing to do, and most people he worked with genuinely liked him.
  7. After Trump posting that tens of millions of barrels of Venezuelan oil will be brought to the US and sold, and the money will be directly under his control, he's removed all doubt that it was ever anything but oil. And it ties into what I was saying about how we do not have the troops in place to occupy and control Venezuela - he was never going to have the US physically control Venezuela with boots on the ground when he controls their oil exports. As long as X amount of oil every month finds its way to American refineries, he's going to let Maduro's people continue to control and oppress Venezuela.
  8. So I'm curious - we've got a 6GB RTX 2060, and that and my 3700x CPU will be great for my daughter's system (fits the motherboard, have 16GB on that thing). I used to upgrade every year or two, but, well, with the 2060 and 3700x CPU you can tell it's been 4-5 years since I last did anything. We do a lot of Minecraft (lots of mods), lots of RTS games, mostly older games (sims, nothing made within last 3-4 years for the most part) but wanting a little bump for some flight sim stuff (and MMOs). Would something like this for $300 be a worthy upgrade over the 2060? (and I have not shopped around, just the first short-form factor card I pulled up, I know I can do cheaper) PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Overclocked 8GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card with Dual Fan Black VCG50608DFXPB1-O - Best Buy Trying to keep the price down, but willing to do 12GB if necessary, and yes, trying to stay to the shorter form-factor, because it's a smaller case. 12GB too expensive. I can go 40x0 series if it's a better price, but I still have to keep the short form-factor.
  9. Man @PTINS they are working over the fuel depots lately
  10. Is this some of that oil that Trump is claiming for himself?
  11. And by the way, for those wondering, yes, it's absolutely real that he's going to order those tankers to the US and then somehow control the money. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115850817778602689
  12. Edit: double post
  13. It's not about oil, it's about drugs and bringing democracy to the Venezuelans. This really makes me wonder who the fuck Trump owes a shitload of money to. He owes somebody really bad.
  14. All we need is to threaten them to help unify or make things worse. With so many police supposedly defecting, that is what is giving me some hope.
  15. Pretty sure they aren't celebrating now, as Maduro's people are cracking down on anybody celebrating.

    in my little manifesto in the VZ thread about Trump and Whiskey Pete not putting together the forces needed to actually, physically take over just Caracas, let alone the rest of Venezuela, I mentioned that it looked like they threw together whatever was needed for a very short-term mission. Like literally just went from drug interdiction to oil tankers to rolling on into capturing Maduro, which admittedly the Deltas trained for months to do. Only tying up a very small part of our amphibious assault forces and none of our large-scale air assault. I think they didn’t bother with putting together what was needed to truly take over Venezuela (airborne, lots of helicopters, a lot more than a few thousand Marines on three ships) partly because deploying a force that large would have gotten Congress involved. No, Congress isn’t going to impeach him until next year at the earliest, but I do think he is wary of Congress. If he thought they’d back him, we’d see Americans in downtown Caracas right now. And another Republican just bit the dust, so their majority is even slimmer.
