  1. You know what else keeps me warm? Russian airfields in flames. "Budanov, what is best in life?" "To crush your enemy's strategic bomber fleet, see them smoldering before you, and to hear the lamentations of their media mouthpieces." Also to answer your question about the targeting - reports state that the drones were preprogrammed with attack coordinates. Ukraine intel had everything measured down to a Putin micro penis. That's how they were able to hit without needing any agents in the vicinity. Just a brilliant care package from Ukraine.
  2. Reminds me of that time Henry James was bragging about scoring some new car speakers from a random guy in a white van. Instead of paying full price HJ got it for the low low cost of a blowjob. One of those sales that left everyone with a smile.
  3. 95 in DFW right now and finished a 45 min hike to pick up my car getting some work done. Thought I would save money on an Uber getting some steps in. Main thing that sucks is how this compares to the weather from the weekend. It was picture perfect and I could work hours in the yard without a drop of sweat. Summers coming and it's going to be coming in dry, no lube.
  4. What's so fucking aggravating is that if we had simply provided steady aid from the start we would be lining up in the victory formation. Maybe not winning a national championship but the equivalent of an unranked team knocking off #2 in the nation. Instead today we have our QB ready to take a knee but instead executes the buttfumble to perfection. Fucking pathetic.
  5. I am so fucking furious.
  6. Sorry to hear the news Brisket. Sounds like your old man and my grandad would have gotten along great. He loved to fish too. Neither me or my dad were huge fishermen but all 3 of us would go out on the lake and try our best. One of my earliest memories was being about 4 or 5 when we caught a giant catfish. It was as big as me. All I could do was jump up and down yelling, "Shark! Shark!" That was one of the biggest and best family fish fries that we ever had. Bet your dad and my Pe-pa are cracking a cold one and reeling in a big one right now.
  7. This is nice. Enough of a dusting that I can barely see the weeds in my yard.
  8. One thing that will be interesting to look back once this is all done is the wildcard event of Covid and how it may have greatly influenced these major historical events. Putin was planning this invasion for quite a while but even dictators are subservient to worldwide health epidemics. Whatever timetable he had in mind the pandemic had to be a big hindrance. Plus the disruption to American lives contributed directly to public sentiment souring on Trump and ultimately his bid for reelection. If Covid didn't hit then Trump may have pulled off the reelection and been in the driver's seat whenever Putin finally decided to pull the trigger. The whole sequence of events could have played out quite drastically different. So many what ifs but the timing of a single event may have had longterm consequences similar to maybe when the Divine Winds saved Japan from the Mongol invasions in the 13th century.
  9. Russian police work superior to USA police work. It takes us a good week to nab a Luigi while the Russians already found their killer with a full confession in 24 hours. Amazing!
  10. So basically the risk/reward ratio is not close to equal. The denial strategy pays off in the billions but the risk for penalties only pay in the millions makes it an easy equation. I have been fortunate in not having to deal too much with medical situations but as I get older this definitely weighs on me. Been hoping for some type of reform for quite a while...maybe this could be the catalyst for someone on either side of the political spectrum to take the initiative. Seems like an easy win to garner all that public love if they could start aggressively advocating for healthcare reform.
  11. Moving past whether to condone outright assassination attempts is morally acceptable or not...my question is for the Surly legal brigade. If UHC employs a tactic to delay and deny coverage because patients will die first before they can win an appeal does that open them up for potential civil lawsuits? If the families could prove that the failure in coverage directly led to death wouldn't that open up for a windfall in penalties? Just wondering if hitting them in the pocketbooks could be more effective in beating back that corporate greed. Why isn't that happening? Explain it to me like I'm a third grader.
  12. Damn, I severely underestimated the Russian manufacturing capacity. If they can build a wooden chair to support that Seagal fatass then they could easily refurbish some T-34s into withstanding direct HIMARS hits.
  13. Medusa reporting that the new 2025-2027 budget proposal by the Kremlin is projecting 41% of federal spending to go directly for defense/military. They are sweating public opinion and trying to figure out how to spin this shit stroganoff to the masses. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2024/10/02/it-could-become-a-trigger-fearing-public-discontent-the-kremlin-tells-russian-state-media-not-to-report-on-its-defense-spending-hike
