    Reddit killed the thread because its not a credible or verifiable source at this time.

     

    that being said, I cant figure out if Sokolov's a lesser admiral (i.e. not a full 4 stars) or not. 

    I would assume that commanding an entire Fleet covering one of the 4 bodies of water that Russia can sail out of would warrant him being a full admiral.  Wih the US, every Fleet commander is a a 4 star. But his wiki page just keeps talking about him being the commander or vice commander of multiple operations.

     

    so IF, mega IF at this point, IF they got him, he might be the highest ranking Russian killed.

     

    Highest ranking Russian killed so far.

    I got an email yesterday from "X (formerly Twitter)" telling me I have like 50 notifications. I don't recall getting any emails from twitter like this, so hey either started spamming out of desperation, or I might have unsubscribed many years ago and they just said fuck it, we need more users. Either way, fuck him. I'll delete my account soon which I never really used but even that effort feels meaningless since I just don't use it at all. Also, the "formerly Twitter" part cracked me up, basically an admission that the "X" thing is stupid as shit since the brand name had about as much cache as anything ever marketed and the change was stupid as fuck except for a billionaire with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old thinking the letter is totally cool and eXtreme! He's basically Michelangelo from the original Ninja Turtles. 

    Michelangelo was a party dude.

     

    This guy. Is not a party dude.

    I *think* I found a way to find out how much a district receives from Robin Hood, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a quick and easy list by district. From what I can gather from the TEA website, recapture dollars go into the Foundation School Program and then get allotted to the various districts.

    I'm most familiar with school districts out in West Texas, so I picked one that I knew was property poor to see how much they get. Here are the results for Plainview where there's a rolling recalculation of around $31-32 million funds allotted to them.

    But if you change the drop-down menu to "recapture," you get this error message:

    It'd be a huge pain in the ass to check all the districts, but if I'm understanding it correctly, this is how you can check individual districts.

     

    Prosper doesn't pay in.

    But they appear to receive more than $100 million.

    I have no idea what is going on with this tweet or the comments. Absolute lunacy. 

    Well you see Bilbo baggins traveled from the north pole continent to the pyramids in Antarctica, and when he threw his ring at the pyramid Tartaria was removed.

    Now this happened in the 17th century, not too long ago, because as you well know the earth is only 6000 years old.

    His rants about chemtrails are nuts though.

    Exactly.  If only there was some way to keep him from freely broadcasting his poison, some place we could put him where he doesn’t have access to media 24/7.   It seems like that would be a great solution, if only such a place existed.

    ADX Florence sounds like a great solution.

    Ah yes the main camera. The grope cam. Total set up. They only had the one camera on those seats and, checks crazy notes, not the entire place.

    Serious people here.

    I mean even impractical jokers has multiple cameras, are they for real?

    Sorry, we got lucky for once in our little neck of the woods.  Between Tue-Sat of last week, almost 3".  We missed out on most of the other (extremely intermittent and rare) rains some other patches of Austin got earlier this month and that 48 hour window back in August.  We got a lotta days in the mid to high 90's with no rain in sight to close out this weekend, for all of Austin.  It may feel better out to us, but the trees are still looking really fucking rough.  I have to put in a call to CoA to get some distressed oaks about 20-25' up before they fall into the powerlines.  And have to queue up now since it'll take 'em that long to get to me before the first freeze.  

    You want 3 linear miles of those plastic divider things between the vehicular lanes and the bike lane?  City can do that overnight.  Want cracked tree limbs to ice over and fall over and over again onto power lines?  Best we can do is 2025.  

    Tell the COA the limbs might fall in the bike lane.

    Granny Lauren would quote the only Psalm she knows, and then ask what you’re doing later. The idea of a site for horny conservative “Christian” women has potential. They should bring on Katara Rivache, aka George Santos, as the Madame. 
     

    Lord today. Republicans and flies.

    Isn't this just plenty of fish or farmers only?
