  1. 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.
  2. 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)
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  6. 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: https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2017/04/16/john-lockes-appeal-to-heaven-its-continuing-relevance/ 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.
  7. He needs to resign immediately.
  8. They are on thin ice with me. I'm probably right behind you.
  9. 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.
  10. Yes! So true. Who was the classical philosopher who advocated for absolutism? Bourbon and bong resin has slowed my br...
  11. No. My daily whip gets a dirty 25 year old Texas Exes frame every time. I think that is marginally better.
  12. Witnessed in South Austin (but not in his mom) this morning: 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.
  13. Background? I apologize for my slowness.
  14. Those are some nice pics SS, at least on my screen. You take those with a phone?
  15. Comments are cool too
  16. I have a Uke friend going to a B&B in the Carpathians this weekend so this hits no where near my home.
  17. I don't know if they grade it...but coarse.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?"
  20. In addition, Taiwan being the supplier of the most and best silicon, making them a priority for foreign protection…why would they give away some of that leverage?
