  1. Penelope hurt his feelings. So he guested again.
  2. I have a quote from a witness. The murders were witnessed by Mathias Schenck, a Belgian national who was serving as a sapper in the German army. "We blew open the doors to what looked like a school. That's all I am going to post. Dirlewanger, Wola Orphanage There is no bottom.
  3. Purely by accident. Last night was frustration with what appears to be an intractable problem. Yeah, it's more accurate to say it started about a hundred years ago. @Ghost of LL and others pointed out the hyperbolic nature of my statement. I'll be realistic in the harsh light of a Tuesday. Losing Saturday soured my outlook on everything.
  4. Yeah, in the millenia that slice of land has had peace it was enforced by iron and bronze. An enforced peace by Romans, Egyptians, Ottomans and can we count Cyrus? Don't make a shit if you cut it off at a hundred years or a hundred thousand.
  5. Some time last year I was really getting annoyed with Dan and Jake. It was either NFL, NBA, or audio that I couldn't care less about or nothing. Two topics or a lot of reactions to often unlistenable replays. I don't know if it's over saturation or what but it's tiresome to get limited to those two leagues. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/baseball-first-take-debate-shows-nfl-nba-data.html But putting that aside, the question is still valid—why do ESPN and FS1 largely just stick to 2-to-3 sports and ignore everything else? If the network pays hundreds of millions to air NHL, college basketball, MLB, tennis, golf, etc., why not spend some time talking about those sports as well? The answer is pretty simple. The data shows viewers change the channel or stop watching at a higher rate when they talk about those sports. I already have to get my hockey talk somewhere else. Norm told me that a long time ago. I have to get college football somewhere else too if I want more than 30 seconds in passing. It's either the NFL or the NBA and that's it. Kinda sucks
  6. Bout the fourth time I have seen it today. 2/1 ratio? Or better? Still standing or double down?
  7. Pretty much. The Palestinians are going to get hammered. It doesn't have to be this way. But, that's where we are going.
  8. I keep going back to the ladder. A stupid hundred something year old ladder that was left at a break time or he had to go get parts, take a dump, whatever. Well in the meantime back at HQ, whoever was in charge at the moment in Jerusalem said NOTHING CHANGES from right NOW And it's been there ever since. Nope. Can't move it. Nothing changes. It all is in a weird time stasis. An endless loop. Dormammu isn't there to bargain with. It's just us. Arguing with ourselves about whether or not we can live next to each other.
  9. I don't know if the Egyptians are going to get behind this. What you suggested is better than what we have now.
  10. I'm going to go both sides. Is it a both though? I mean how many threads are in this Gordian Knot? This goes back fucking millenia. Cycles of hate and revenge with intermittent grudging peace. I don't know how to fix this or aggy. All I know is that there's a lot of fucked up motives and outcomes all around and no one has clean hands.
  11. Orde Wingate is an interesting side character. Sort of a counterpoint to Lawrence imo.
  12. Do they start at 50000ya? Because that's how far it goes. People have been fighting over that corner of dirt since we walked out of Africa about that long ago or maybe add 50k. It used to be pretty green. There used to be forests and lions and shit. We burned, dug, ate, and killed off everything right down to the bedrock.
  13. I have gotten a pile of negs for citing a straight news source. Got a bunch of props too though. I think I ended up at -1. Maybe. It was a pittance to pay at any rate.
  14. Cross posted because it's way too controversial and inflammatory in DT. What is up ladies and gentlemen? That's fucking direct quote
