You’re supposed to piss on her foot. Duh.
That's for jellyfish, and I offered but she said she'd rather just deal with the pain.

Ex cop neighbor said he'd been stung by a stingray and shot with a 45. If he had to choose one to happen again he'd go with the 45.
My brother went through hell when he was stung.My wife stepped on one when and got hit on the ankle. She's got a pretty high pain tolerance and it was clear she was in agony. For future reference, the hospital filled a bucket with hot ass water, like 120 F and put her foot in it and it was instantaneous relief. The heat breaks the toxin down. If you get stung get whatever is stung in some hot water and you're good.

You've clearly made up your mind on this so I'll leave you your illusions. Let's just say that the vast majority of people who study this for a living don't agree with you.

Dude, no one is saying we can control the climate, only that for all of history biological organisms have changed the climate. We are doing that right now. It is actually changing right now and we are doing it. It's going to cause widespread changes to the rest of the ecosystem. It already is. Most organisms aren't as adaptable as we are so many are dying because they can't adapt fast enough.
Humans are doing it, just like the algae pumped the atmosphere full of oxygen and changed it millions of years ago. No one is saying other things don't also affect the climate, they do. It's a complex system. No shit. If you don't think organic life is one of those factors I don't know what to tell you. It's not an issue of control it's an issue of damage mitigation.

Ok. You keep telling yourself that 20 year measurements mean anything in geologic time. Texas was an ocean. Lots of data that locates "Atlantis" in North Africa.
We have an affect on the climate, we absolutely do not and cannot control it. The absurdity to think we do and can control the climate is Idiocracy.
Should we do more and everything we can to conserve and limit our effects on the environment??? Absolutely! And I stand by it and live by it everyday. But thinking we can control it... That's hilarity at it's finest
In the past 600 years you've been able to have wineries in England, and skate on the Thames during winter. We can't control shit. The burning ball of fire 93mm miles from us controls that, along with a 23 degree tilt towards the burning ball and a polar wobble that ambulates every 26000 years.
I 100% believe we should do everything we can to take care of our environs, but that's literally all we can do.
You do know why we have an oxygen rich atmosphere right? Because extremely successful organisms (like us) made it that way. It also resulted in large extinctions and changed life on earth. "Control" is not the issue. The issue is tipping the balance and changing the ecosystem that we all rely on to survive. It's happening even as we speak and you're lying to yourself if you don't think we are doing to ourselves.

Sure. Just keep telling yourself that.

NATO/US doctrine is built upon air superiority. NATO would not be running this offensive without first waging a long (and expensive in terms of destroyed aircraft) campaign to wreck enemy radar installations and ground to air missile launchers. Then they'd bomb the bejeezus out of the enemy positions to soften it up. Then they'd have close combat support from an array of planes and helicopters. They'd launch offensives in unpredictable places with special forces to flank the enemy. Especially to take vital assets like bridges and regional air strips. They'd probably have an amphibious landing.
Think about how different the images would be if wings of F-22s, F-35s, Apaches, Blackhawks etc. were littering the sky.
Instead Ukraine has to rely on untrained and older troops recently mobilized who have never been anywhere near these types of vehicles, depending on artillery and drones to provide a tiny fraction of what air power would for NATO forces, and then only do it with 12 brigades. And while NATO/US have the ability to build more top of the line vehicles as replacements, Ukraine has to rely on continued generosity and political will for the 40 year old scrap heap extras laying around.
What Ukraine and its soldiers and citizenry are trying to accomplish is very brave. They're going straight into the lion's den. Being shocked at pictures of destroyed NATO armor is asinine.
And we'd do it all at night when we can see better than they can in the daytime.

I'm normally pretty sanguine about regular season games, but I saw a lot of loser baseball last night. Too many lazy plays.

If it were my call I would have put the runner back on 3rd and made them earn it. It was obstruction but I don't think I could say for sure she would have scored.

Watched ever minute of it this year. Been a while since I did that, but needed a break from in-laws in town for graduation. It never gets old. Incredible what those men did and how Hanks and Spielberg delivered the goods. Cried like a baby at least three times and thanked God yet again that I was never called to go into combat. That shit changes you and rarely for the better.

One of my favorite examples of how the US Military operates was a story about a written exam given to Lieutenants in a leadership school. The only question was something like this:
You are ordered to put up a new flag pole.
Resources available:
1. 40 foot flag pole.
2. pre dug 5 foot hole of appropriate diameter.
3. 2 lengths of 50 foot rope.
4. 1 Sergeant and 5 Privates.
Describe your actions to raise the pole.
Most would go into incredible details in how they would erect the pole. The correct answer was "Sergeant, put up that flagpole".

those images look degraded to me. I'll bet we didn't want them to see our true capabilities. In 1992 I could pick out individual soldiers walking through a wood line at 1500 meters through a fog that limited visual sight to 100 meters. It's even better at night when the ground cools. I'll bet it's way better now. Those images look like they are probably from the early 80s.

I talk with my daughter about this. I want to find a substitute for calling people pussy, but there's nothing else like it. I don't want to insult women or vaginas, but I do want to insult weak, cowardly men.
My German Sisters-in-Law say "Schwacher Penis" which, according to them means "soft penis". I've started using that in place of pussy, cunt, etc. You have to pronounce it right though. Google translate is your friend here.

My husband was a pretty decent artist. One time he made a card with the drawing of a man and woman fucking and it said,
"Be Mine"... I liked it.I usually stick to birthday cakes, hearts, flowers, that sort of thing, but I know what I'm doing next Valentines Day. Sadly with my drawing skills it will probably take her a little while to figure out what it is. Maybe I'll just draw the organs as that would be easier to decipher.

Nasty Girls shouldn't be trusted with anything but a mop and only under supervision.

My wife sleeps late so on occasions requiring a card I get up at my usual time and, using a piece of copy paper and colored pencils, I make a card with whatever the appropriate markings for the occasion. I'm a terrible artist but a decent writer so I usually come up with something that works and amuses her with it's childlike whimsy. I'll be damned if I'm spending $8 on a damned card or going to pick one out.

I did. And we’re essentially down an MVP-caliber player and a CY-caliber starter from that team. Yes Abreu is an upgrade over Yuli, but not nearly enough of one to overcome replacing Altuve and Brantley with Dubon and Diaz. It’s almost certainly a worse team than last year.
Dude, I like you as a poster but you're seriously bitching out in this thread. Smoke a bowl or something and relax. If it's still shitty in a month then you can lose your shit.

The players also aren't game planning and scouting. To me the coaching staff have done an excellent job in that regard.

$8000 is the "we don't want to do it" price. I've been going to the same guy for years and when I call him with something and I can tell he doesn't want to do it I get the $1500 quote. I then go to my back up shop and if they want to do it I get a decent price.
