    I think it's that they need more than one angle of attack to take out such a heavily defended target as the Kerch bridge. ATACMS is a ballistic missile that comes in at mach 3 or 4 out of the stratosphere, Storm shadow/Scalp are stealthy sub/transonic coming in low, and the MALDS decoys can add even more chaos to the scope of an ivan air defense operator. 

    I'd bet a dollar that Kerch isn't standing by summer. If Ukraine can cut that lifeline it will completely change the complexion of russias impending offensive 

    While I tend to agree that it doesn't bode well for the Kerch Bridge, I'm simply poiting out the flaw in the concept that the Storm Shadow is better. If it was better, then why the fuck is the Kerch Bridge still standing? And that's not a critque of 956, I'm just saying that clearly some component was missing before, otherwise that Kerch bridge would already be toast. 

    Here's to that mothefuker going boom soon.

    Theyve had Storm Shadows. And they haven't gone full out after the bridge yet. By this logic, either they didn't have enough storm shadows to do the job, or didn't want to waste them on the bridge etc. That means either the ATACMS they are getting now can/will be used on the bridge, or they don't deem the bridge valuable enough to waste on ATACMS.

    Is it trendy for rich people to overpay for salsa?

    The Julio's Serrano salsa rec'd upthread is like $5 for the same quantity.

    Well, most standard jars are the same quantity. That’s sorta how it works. If you were attempting to say quality, well, you haven’t tried both items, so you’re not qualified to make any claim.

    Pretty sure I bought this at that Heights farmers market a while back and can confirm this shit is delicious. 

    Yeah, that’s where I got it. Of course it was 8 bucks for the super big jar at the time, but it was good enough that I occasionally still buy a jar.

    So they've got like 100 messican abuelas grinding down fresh ingredients in molcajetes in some sweat shop in Houston? 

    I first found it at a farmer's market by my house. Shit's some of the best salsa I've ever tasted. Turns out it's a dad who wanted to teach his girl how to start a small business. It sorta blew up, and now you can get it in select stores in Houston.  He absolutely has videos of him making massive batches of this stuff in his home kitchen.

    I had to look this one up. They are filled with sand and used to contain potential bomb explosions.

    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.

    Favorable as in preventing photos, or favorable as in preventing an assassination?

     

    No sane person, much less in NYC, is trading in their life for ending Trumps.

    I’m more surprised that so far 23% of respondents think Trump will die or become incapacitated within 8 months.

    You're witnessing the effects of propoganda, right here. Much like in Russia, if Lobo just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again, people will believe it. 

    Not even we, here in the CR, are immune to the constant bombardment of pure propoganda.
