    Socialism!!!!!

    Huh?

    Rapidly increasing interest rates put a lot of stress on banks. It feels like we’ve been lucky that the failures have been contained so far. For all I know bank failures will be what forces interest rates to reverse.

    9mm, 22lr, 5.56, and 308 are must haves, even if you don’t have a weapon chambered in it.

    Then add an alternate pistol cartridge and an odd rifle cartridge - these are what were available during covid. Think 6mm creedmoor, 450 bushmaster, etc.

    Then add what you like. Mine looks like this-
    9mm
    .45
    22lr
    6.5G
    300BO
    5.56
    308

    I can do anything I would ever need to do with that selection and I will never run out of ammo.

    300BO is the shit if you’re into AR pistols and/or suppressors 

    Funny, 22LR is all I’m lacking but I keep telling myself I’ll home make one instead of buying. I need to get my CF Nylon drying setup and build my 3DP90 and Orca already

    Washington's and Ukraine's perspectives are quite different.   Biden is worried that a campaign that will harm Russian oil will push global prices up for the commodity ushering in a potential victory for Russia's candidate.  Meanwhile Ukraine wants to hurt Russia's revenue stream.    Ukraine is being short sighted here and playing a dangerous game with their future support.  That $60 billion isn't going to win them the war.   

     

    what aid package is Ukraine going to get that’s going to turn the war? The only way this war turns is if russias economy craters and/or their war machine runs out of fuel. All the aid packages do is buy time. Ukraine has no choice but to be short sighted WRT US support, particularly given that our support is demonstrably unreliable.

    Why did Quinn only play one series? And he looked like shit in that one series.

    Probably to get the backups as much work as possible… but the batted ball and the slow start definitely triggered a lot of PTSD in the fan base, so hopefully it’s not becoming a ‘thing’ in QE’s mind.

    That’s pretty fucked up that a judge in Comal County can try to remove a democratically elected DA in a different county. What happened to small government/local control? 

    Isn’t he simply presiding over a Travis county jury? 

  6. Maybe ground news didn’t exist when this thread was created but it seems like the best way to get news and analyze bias. 

    https://ground.news/

    Trigger warning: the ratings. for example, Fox is “right” and CNN is “left lean.” The ratings are by independent agencies, then averaged. Don’t get hung up on trivial shit.

    Thought this was an interesting saga from NPR:

    The editor posted this 10 days ago:

    On April 9, Berliner, who had been at NPR for 25 years, opined in The Free Press that the outlet lost the public’s trust due to left-leaning bias. He cited NPR’s coverage of ”Russiagate,” and noncoverage of the Covid-19 lab leak theory and Hunter Biden’s laptop. He also blamed NPR’s internal culture, citing a “burgeoning number of employee resource (or affinity) groups based on identity.”

    Yesterday he resigned:

     


     

    I could argue this says a lot more about one party being conquered by one guy than it says about NPR, but this is DT.

    Twenty-four of his 39 pitches were strikes. When it came to velocity, none of his' pitches hit 90 miles per hour on the radar gun. He mostly sat in the 80s, and dipped into the high 70s a few times.

    So he’s basically ident to the vast majority of our staff. Really hard to justify risking an elbow or shoulder injury

    After he dumped the adorable swedish girl who was head over heels for him, I had my question.  But he then turned his attention to being p-whipped and having his heart smashed by a beautiful alsatian dancer, so he resolved that open question.  And, as his sister tells us about his game with the girls, thankfully without sharing details, "your son is a slut."

    Pics of the Swede? 
     

    I had to google Alsatian. Why is your son fucking a German shepherd?
