  1. I boiled it down to simplest terms. To that end, your very point that Nork troups are getting experience has some issues as well. I don't dismiss it in broad terms but what they the Nork soldiers face aren't exactly a foreign enemy at it's peak nor a peak foreign enemy. To my knowledge there are zero US SoCom ground troops engaged in this combat. Granted, open knowledge vs reality can be a big variance in SoCom. So, as for a look at Western tactics, yeah true in a broad stroke but not relative to a true full engagement with Western tech, troops and power. Not even close. Further, they primary military tactical leadership is Russia not Un or North Korea. However, all of that misses the entire point of my post. I actually mentioned that I thought the use of the Russian tech was more for propaganda that tactical aspects. So let me restate the broader query. I am interested in a CBA and ROI of Russian and Nork troops vs the air attacks. The Russian threw a lot of tech at Ukraine and didn't get a lot of tactical advantage based on what I've seen. That's a lot of financial investment for a country with financial issues vs boots that, while not unlimited, can engage at a lower cost and achieve potentially better tactical gains. Its a military strategy question based on known issues and strategies. I dont want to completely derail the thread and it wasn't my intention. Rather it was a curiosity that admittedly jumps into a rabbit hole of deeper discussion on Russian tactics and Ukrainian/Western response. I fully believe that Putin is not quitting/signing a truce and will continue the attack on Ukraine until he is pulled from office by death or coupe which could come in many forms. I'm curios about the deeper dive from a military/tactical/financial perspective. That was my broader point. Again, perhaps its a separate thread from the broader discussion.
  2. Bro, aggie online academics are brutally difficult.
  3. Showdown was my Cheers and it was played a minimum of 1 time per night. On weekends nights/days it was played in HEAVY rotation all damn day/night. I love the song, but had a cringe response for a number of years after.
  4. Yellow jackets nest in the ground. Their nest burrows can be really difficult to spot as they even use camouflage occasionally. If you're running a bush wacker on a hill and step on them you won't hear them swarming you. They WILL chase you so you might want to consider killing the engine on your portable circular saw and drop it before you tumble down the hill fighting off the 20-30 yellow jackets stinging your leg. Particularly, if you are allergic to wasps. Does that sound like an oddly specific story? It happened to a guy I know.
  5. The was a thread there when Ricky won the Heisman. I made a complete tl:dr about my interactions with Ricky and how much I honestly liked him as a person. Ricky's mom actually sent me a DM saying thank you.
  6. I didnt take the bus, but went to I guess the "tailgate" for that game. Said hello shook a few hands went to the game.
  7. I have a lot of very complex thoughts on this... Instead of rambling... What's the story, Norm? Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer. Bye Norm!
  8. This is really well written and I think it very difficult to nit pick given the author's history and disclosure levels. Thanks for posting.
  9. You looked deeper than I had interest in digging. Stop trying trying to apply logic. She's a thirst trap aggie mom looking for "free legal help". That's sugar code for "Pick me" and "Be my daddy".
  10. She fucked the fathers of her son's teammates. She's got a area of specialization.
  11. Travis odd playing history Okay, here is what I gathered in this cluster fuck. Temple DI (Where he apparently started and allegedly played) 2021 (covid season) 2022 Aggie NCAA (Where he allegedly got his degree in remote learning) 2023 2024 St Edward's DII (where he played) 2025 So because covid and Diego Pavia case Leander Thirstrap Chestnut wants free legal help getting her son a 6th year of play in D1. Oddly, there are no stats that I find in the link above at Temple, but his great contribution at aggie was batting about .255
  12. Thirst trap aggie mom is simp trolling Texags for a lawyer to help her son to get a 7th year of baseball eligibility at I guess a 4th school (or at least a sugar daddy to help pay her bills). aggie is bad at all sports with a bat. Texags is melting down cause the fall football roller-coaster has yet to board. @Randolph Duke made an appearance. aggie is, "shockingly" still a cult with lotsa bizarre myths.
  13. So, given the limited, albeit very high quality, Apple+ content I was seriously considering dropping it. I decided to give Murderbot a run and I was pretty sure I wouldn't care for it based on previews. Well, turned it on and there was a preview for Stick with Wilson, Maron, Greer, and Trevino... fuck you Apple.. Then I watched the first 2 episodes of Murdebot which, I didnt think I would like and I couldn't stop grinning. Double fuck you Apple!
  14. If you ever went to Showdown and played Me and Bobby McGee between 93-2004 I was one of the many people cursing you as it came on.
  15. If I had known she was a Religious Studies major, I would have.
  16. Hey there! You seem like a real big fan of Jason. Did you know there is a new NFT based on Jason's movies? You should invests. PM me for more details or just check out the link below. www.loseallyourmoney.sucker
  17. She's 💯 thirst trappin. Just don't tell the aggie simps where she lives.
  18. Bro, have you seen their budget? Of course they will because they have more money than anyone.... But... right now the football roller-coaster is boarding, fire Elko talk is for late October. Gotta replace the baseball and softball coaches first.
  19. I bucked one trend and voted my heart over my eyes with Smart over Day. Why can't they both be winners. And while I absolutely had to select Venebals, Kiffin is very punchable.
  20. This is all correct from the game. She was absolutely going to die. There was a high level of certainty that she was the cure, but she was... hmm.. um it was not certain at all. I'm going to leave it there and put more info below:
  21. I'm not watching the show but my feed sent me the song on "YouTube" music. PJ put out a mixed tape of sorts they called The Last of Us which is a variety of old PJ songs. It was fantastic if you like PJ.
  22. I think it's ego and ideology first, economy second in Putin's mind, but yeah.
  23. If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war. Crime is Punishment - maybe? But yeah, ongoing war is old KGB cannon and Putin is nothing if not a old school KGB mindset. He's never surrendering despite what it costs because all other factors aside his ego, narcissistic soul and KGB genetics won't let him. Not sure why the ahem.. "western" leaders struggle with this reality.
  24. Maybe you should work on reading comprehension jack ass. Or maybe I need to work on my writing skills, doesn't matter. I asking essentially wondering why Russia was using more expensive drones and missiles rather than continuing with traditional Russian strategies. Ya know, throwing shit tons of Russian and Nork lives at tbe problem. Also wondering what the variance of the cost and why they were being so stupid. I honestly think it aligns to the Russian propaganda machine plans. Losing a bunch of more expensive drones appears, on the "surface" as a lower loss than videos from Ukraine showing Russians and Nork gimps getting their asses handed to them.
