    They really sucked Nazi dong. They were all in.

    Yup. If I recall correctly they even sent screening divisions to protect the Nazi's ongoing attempt to capture and hold  Stalingrad. They were worthless and the Nazi army (6th?) suffered a massive encirclement, defeat and capture. But that was mainly due to Hitler's intransigence on a tactical retreat.

    So Ukraine gets the green light to be disciplined and only strike military targets to defend themselves and all of the sudden they are seeing a significant uptick in success and a significant downtick in Russian supplies making it to the front lines?

    Weird. 

    It's a big bummer we didn't feel like this was appropriate and were afraid of "escalating" or whatever the reason was with Russia until now. 

    I've been talking with two conversational English Uke students every week for over a year. I find myself apologizing to them about our weak knees. As attributed to Churchill  "Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else."

    All they ever do is thank me. (the US)

    well I've long bloviated on who is going to be fighting in this Civil War #2.  But I guess I never thought about, where exactly we having this thing?  The North is not going to march into the South and vice-versa.  There is no more Mason-Dixon line. 

    They gonna all march into deep blue California?  The place with more Trump voters than any other state?  Do they invade urban areas where they think libtards might be, but also a bunch of rich white Republicans with guns because living in downtown is expensive?  I mean, I can see the part where they get their guns and tac vests and jump in the back of a pickup truck.  But what's their plan after that?  Where do they go?  Who are they gonna shoot?  These are not people known for thinking things through, but they have rage now and guns and resources.  But do any of them have a road atlas?  

    I'm doing an RV trip for the month of June to the PNW. I was disheartened to find that Mapsco went out of business in 2022.

    I will accept no substitute.

    The best Steven Seagal movie is Executive Decision because he dies immediately and it turns into a Kurt Russell show with big assists from Oliver Platt and Miles Dyson. 

    Dammit! Spoiler that shit! He dies?

    But seriously when I saw it in the theater the audience literally started clapping he makes an early exit.

  5. SIAP but 3 Body Problem is pretty good. Based on a series of books by what is considered China's best Sci-Fi writer. It's...different.

    Showrunners are the two guys who did GoT. I've recognized a few GoT actors in it.

    Motherfucker!

    I had been wearing a pine tree flag hat for a couple years before Jan6. Except I meant it as An Appeal to Heaven should that bitchass fake billionaire orange chud really push for authoritarianism. I had no idea it had been co-opted by MAGAts. Those cosplaying twits don't even know what it means. When Jan6 was going down I had some friends text me that I guess you can't wear your hat anymore. I said why should I change, they're the ones that suck. Alas, I lost the hat at some point. /csb

    Some actual background:

    One of lesser known grievances of colonist land owners is that the British would mark the best trees anywhere to be reserved as masts, as England had already cleared their forests of suitable ones. Hence the "pine tree".

    Really grinds my gears.

    Heh, maybe I overestimate awareness. It is well known among the armenian and greek christian communities in the holy land. An IDF soldier got into trouble for spitting on an Armenian bishop a few years back, some seminarians got into a fight with some haredi over it, and there have been numerous other instances of physical violence break out as a result. The clergy in the holy land have been filing complaints about the practice for a long time now. 

    I've dated Jewish women for twenty years and have been to Jerusalem many times. I did not know this. Learn something new every day.

    I’m constantly blown away at republicans binary brain. Everything is black or white (definitely not black see racism) and grey doesn’t exist. Mind bottling 

    Yes! So true.

    Who was the classical philosopher who advocated for absolutism? Bourbon and bong resin has slowed my br...

    So what, they find a bomb that happens to be someplace easily accessible by a dump truck, and then they dump sand on the bomb? Or do they simply drive them near a bomb, and then some cops grab the bomb and then bury it in the sand in the back of a dump truck?

    The answer is actually creating more questions for me. 

    I am guessing the large mass of steel and silicate works to absorb and lessen the blast radius just by being there.

    Am I the only one that thinks less of anyone that leaves a dealership license plate frame on their car?

    No. My daily whip gets a dirty 25 year old Texas Exes frame every time. I think that is marginally better.

  11. Witnessed in South Austin (but not in his mom) this morning:

    image.thumb.jpeg.fae8fcdec2d1c75d765b583af3c1d649.jpeg

    Person driving big luxury SUV complaining about gas prices. (left decal) I was right behind and after parking he proceeded to go into the AAA office. (why is that a brick and mortar thing?)

    Also, apparently MAGA has levels.

    Fuck that, I'm gonna gut that fat ass pig-eyed bitch like a fish.  Except I'll leave her entrails sitting her lap so she can look at them. 

    Damn you guys are darker than usual. 

    I'm perusing ACOGs and cans. Gawd I hope that orange fat fuck just has a heart attack and we can move on.

  14. I was raised in a Christian household (fortunately with none of the baggage) and it is stuff like this that pisses me off more than anything.

    "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves”

    I used to drive by 2nd Baptist often when visiting home from UT. I always thought "Second Baptist...who admits they are second?"
