  1. Remember when COVID killed Colin Powell, Herman Cain, Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island Dawn Well, Charley Pride, John Price, Alan Merrill, Joe Diffie, the wrong member of Siegfried and Roy, and a bunch of others? I 'member. Thanks T. Hanks.
  2. Interesting that all of the major Murdoch properties are going after Three Toes. Must be some amazing blackmail material that Trump has.
  3. I'm not sure what's going on in this video, but at about 12 seconds, it appears to show them holding some anal beads, and a people rocking those anal beads is not somebody you want to fuck with.
  4. Especially since she has all of those young and fit Secret Service agents around.....
  5. 1991 was an expensive year for me - I bought both Falcon 3.0 (Electronic Boutique) and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (Babbages), and one or both of them was heavily delayed, and the only way I knew this was calling the store employees or going in and bugging them. I think both games were $40 apiece (but if you bought them directly from the publishers, they were $80), but holy fuck, I ended up spending all of my paper route money for a huge chunk of the year on a 486/33 upgrade to my computer, along with an Adlib (which was a mistake). Falcon set on my shelf for months until I got the upgrade and could actually play it.
  6. Okay, Delta on iPhones and iPads is pretty fucking good. I've got some DS games to try on it, but haven't yet. My Pokemon-obsessed kid is freaking out about these things. I'm loving being able to play the original Gameboy Tetris on my phone. Meanwhile, I'm going to finally beat NES Top Gun.
  7. You're at a bar at 8pm on Sunday, so you've got a head start on a lot of us.
  8. With all of the drama surrounding them if they get rained upon, get road grime on them, bird shit, etc., you'd think they'd spend $50 or $100 for some fucking plastic wrap. I've seen cheap-ass Toyotas a third the price of those get the full wrap treatment on car haulers.
  9. So it’s about a threesome with Jesse Plemons at the center of it?
  10. Don’t forget, we get to clear out our long term storage of hardware that we were paying to store and were never going to use. We don’t need a thousand F-16s sitting in the high desert just waiting to be scrapped.
  11. Like somebody said, imagine Mercedes or BMW doing that. Hopefully the manager in charge of lubrication and adhesives is fired for mixing the two up.
  12. Then those nations who think it could happen for lesser discretions are really fucking stupid, because it’s taken Russia stealing land from Ukraine around a decade ago, and then formally invading the country as a whole, raping and pillaging and kidnapping a shitload of kids, before we finally did something. And even then, we waited through another two years of Russia killing and raping and kidnapping Ukrainians and trying to destroy their schools, hospitals, power grid, etc. before we finally decided to do something about those funds, and it still may not even happen. So the bar is set pretty fucking high, and the countries who have the kind of financial holdings overseas on that scale are almost all allies of ours anyways, and the number of countries that could actually do something on the scale of what Russia is doing is extremely small - basically the US, Russia, China, and maybe India. Out of China and India, neither wants to do something that would lead to us confiscating their assets or severing financial ties. If anything, it’s one more reason why China will tread carefully.
  13. At most, Russia might be able to hold on to what they have right now, so Ukraine will still exist. Russia has burned through their most experienced soldiers, the prisons, their mercenaries, and they are fielding T-55s, a tank that came out in the 1950s when Khrushchev was still running the show. The Ukrainians are trying to boost their demographics by somewhat avoiding sending their youngest men to the front lines while Russia is liable to be mobilizing 16-70 year-olds by this time next year. And they will send them to the frontlines in what? And equipped with what? They are using Scooby Doo vans to haul supplies around, and golf carts to move men. As mentioned, they’ve been caught fielding 1950s tanks. And their training pipeline is abysmal. You can get away with sending untrained conscripts to fight in Stalingrad against the Germans in WWII because it’s your own backyard and the weapons and tactics weren’t fancy, but it’s 2024 and these poorly trained conscripts are being hunted down by drones, both in their foxholes and in their vehicles. It’s not going to be pretty but Ukraine will still be standing when we hit year three of Putin’s three-day Special Military Operation.

  17. So even though her primary is a month from now, she has no Republican challengers and the filing deadline was last month. Is there a reason she won't try and take Johnson down, even if it means some Republicans immediately retire from Congress and give it over to the Dems?
  18. Not perfect, but didn't just blow through either.
