  1. A nuclear exchange is inevitable. (I don't mean specifically this conflict) That was always going to be the case when we invented the bomb. If the US didn't, someone else was not far behind. When have humans ever failed to use a technology? If it CAN happen, it WILL. The best we can do is work to mitigate it. Appeasement will not work. And there will be a lot more pain to come regardless.
  2. It's exactly what you think it is.
  3. Yeah, I was just referencing that old thread. I am cognizant that the F35 is having it's problems resolved. Just for clarification I was referring to the Felon as not being well-received. More of a Gen 4.5. I was unclear there. I think I saw something about them basically being handbuilt. Not much of an assembly line. I imagine securing components is only getting worse as well.
  4. Our name for it. Plagued with problems more than our F35 shitbird. Completely non-relevant to the current conflict as they will never risk sending one anywhere close to the Ukraine. Last I heard the only foreign buyer was Algeria? Others have been unimpressed.
  5. I just saw it too. Pretty good. I describe as "exactly what you suspect it is." Looking forward to Bones and All this week.
  6. Cognitive dissonance is something they practice incessantly.
  7. Didn't shoot to kill? So he happens to be an expert marksmen with a baby Glock or whatever at 15 yards such that he can take off just a hair twice. He's cool? His breathing is very obviously elevated. No one would be cool in this situation. You are funny and I like your bit but you are out of your element Donny. You are no lion.
  8. No, the tragedy is that people died. I feel the loss of history too but let's not get sideways. My grandfather was a navigator on a B-17 that went down after a raid over Ploesti. POW for 9 months. He left college to join the Army Air Corp after Pearl Harbor. He trained out of Ellington before going to Italy. I'm about to go see his digital oral history exhibit at the WW2 museum in Nawlins so this hits relatively close to home.
  9. I was walking the dog before heading to the game today and I live in a non-descript Austin neighborhood. After about a block I see a couple guys standing around a parked red mercedes. They look about as cliche Eastern European as you can get. They start staring at me as I approach down the sidewalk. As I passed one of the guys says "Slava Ukraini" and I realize I am wearing a (rather tacky) sweater with "Don't Tread on Me" in Cyrillic against the Ukraine colors. I think I bought it drinking-while-Etsy in the early days. I just responded with a smile and a Slava Ukraini back. What a weird random encounter. I, for one, welcome our new Ukrainian military advisors.
  10. Let me get this straight: Filming a life-threatening encounter because you may need to use it later to avoid something faaaarrrrr less scary...rather than using every advantage you have to keep your life? Josey you dumb bitch, you have nice tits, but you're a dumbass.
  11. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/8f150298-6aa5-476a-a590-a5cad4f811ac
  12. I don't have a problem with gay men in the men's room. They can gaze in awe at my 4" vienna sausage. Nice caaaaack
  13. What I see is a domino effect. What it says to me is the slabs fall over culminating in the resolution of society's problems. Sal seems like he sucks. (No I do not think that progressive white women will solve all ills. But any women pls feel free to slide into my DMs)
  14. A few beers is generally a prerequisite to becoming a parent.
  15. YGIFS you are scary. Also I would like to join you on the POG (Pissing On Graves) tour. We'll hit Trump, Limbaugh...third to be determined.
  16. 100% This is another manufactured crisis because they don't have a real agenda. Had a HH with some former coworkers yesterday and one of them started spouting off about how we're turning all 5 year olds into another gender. I don't engage. She's considerably older and will die first.
  17. What is the current best way to get a NAFO fella avatar?
  18. If after a further round of negotiations the rachists do not agree again to the peaceful transfer of foodstuffs avoiding mass starvation, we put a carrier group in the eastern Med and declare a no-fly zone over the Black Sea. ASW operations as needed. Tip jar at a bar last night:
  19. This one in particular pisses me off. I first saw it in the opening of HBO's "John Adams" and become interested in the history and it's relationship to John Locke's Second Treatise of government. I started wearing a hat with this emblem several years ago as I considered it a repudiation of Trump's increasing authoritarianism. I was very irritated on Jan 6 when some friends told me I should stop wearing it as it's been co-opted. Why should I stop wearing it? They're the ones that suck. I only occasionally wear it now. Can't wait until some mouth-breather gives me a Trump thumbs up. We are going to have a serious disagreement.
  20. No way of knowing. Nothing seems to stand out.
