    Anal Rustler III was the best of the series.

    Good , but I thought it was a little derivative.   Now “Anal Rustlers 4:  Colostomy” took it in a whole other direction.

    This may have been covered as this article was published over a year ago. It may not be feasible for Russia to expand its AF to 1.5M without adding  30 to 50 yo (or women, which in their society would not be acceptable), to the conscription rolls.
     

    Drafting 1 in 10 men between 21 and 30 — the proposed new age range for mandatory service— would theoretically yield around 690k if 100% were fit for service. Another alternative mentioned is mass recruitment of young men from Central Asia for service in exchange for Russian citizenship.
     

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Russian Armed Forces Face Severe Demographic Challenges

    But you have to account in this equation for Russia already having lost 500k of men (killed or seriously wounded) and for them having about 1.3m still in the armed forces.   Some are outside the age range and some are foreigners, but overall the majority fall in that age group.  So they already have approximately 2.5 out of 10 already committed.   Then add more to get to 3.5-4 % of the men in that age group.    Definitely starting to need Moscow and St. Petersburg men.

    My wife, father-in-law, and I get a medium rare filet.  My mother-in-law gets an overcooked flat iron.  I refuse to overcook a $40/lb steak.

    If you go to a restaurant and someone orders a steak well done the kitchen picks the shittiest piece of meat they have and they burn it.

    How would an app simulate slamming your phone down?

    My guess is it sends the person you are talking with the sound they would hear if you slammed down an old phone to hang up ... then it disconnects.

    aggy still hung up on that win against Bama in 2012. They went up big and hung on for dear life. Kudos to knocking off the defending champs but it meant zero in the end. Bama still went onto winning the SEC and the national championship. While aggy has yet to win the SEC West in the 12 seasons they have been there. Hasn't Bama ended up winning the SEC and playing for the national championship each time aggy has beaten them? Believe so.

    aggy got an 11 year head start on us playing Bama and we are one win away from matching their win total against them since they been in the SEC in our first try in 2022. Came close to matching it last season. Embarrassing. 

    And Texas has played Georgia an equal number of times to aggy since aggy joined the SEC.  Texas with 1 win and aggy with 1 loss.  Again...embarrassing.

    No one is actually laughing at it. Stopping a Chinese invasion will be extremely challenging and extremely costly to Taiwan and the United States. War games predict US subs rampaging but most also predict the US losing aircraft carrier(s). China is going to lob a metric fuck ton of missiles at Taiwan and US assets in the area. This is not something we want and there’s no guarantee we will actually prevail. The best thing we can do is continue to arm Taiwan to the fucking teeth, strengthen our alliances in the area (and their military might), and get the fuck out of the Middle East so we can concentrate more of our navy in the pacific to deter China from trying. 
     

    The long term concern for me WRT a conflict with China is shipyard capacity. China’s ship building capacity is similar to our during world war 2. Ours can’t even maintain the fleet we have and surging money into it isn’t fixing it. 

    I saw a short war game summary of a few scenarios and it also had China attacking Japan and Philippines as US and other based fighters were flying sorties out of there.  So Whole Regional war.  Fun for everyone and "victory" for Taiwan and US was still very costly for all.

    Does firewood expire?

    Yes once they petrify.   So they have 100,000 to a million years of shelf life.  So plan accordingly.

    that was way less extreme than what the tweet made me think.  a couple wants people to have more babies.  want to forego material stuff.  it isn't full of hatred or misogyny or whatever.  just dudes marching to a different drum.

    Kind of agree.  I read the article.  Different drummers but basically want to have kids and encourage others to have more as well.  Wife wants to keep working and they both support that.   Maybe the really weird stuff is elsewhere, but this did not move the needle too much from what I saw in a quick perusal of the article.

    It's a no piece.  I love my wife and we have like dozens of the same friend.  I think she's just joking around as sometimes she says it around my wife ad laughs.  Maybe 7 or 8 times?

    She’s telling your wife that she is up for the threesome, and telling you that she will be consoling you at your wife’s funeral with a hand job as they lower the casket.

    Back in the day when we had to buy entire albums/cassettes the entire body of work would tell a story. You're listening to the whole damn thing after blowing a months allowance.

    Heck, I would get 12 cassettes for a penny.  Just needed to change my name a few times and maybe use a friends address.

    Is anyone actually surprised by that? That's why your clubs are in a shipping bag. You think anyone treats them differently?

    This is how I expect they handle all bags.  My only surprise is that someone thinks this is out of line.

    I will say if they moved the cart/luggage car closer they could throw directly from the ramp to the cart and save effort.

    I'm assuming your reaction was something to the effect of " OK He deserved it" with the possible addition of "I'm going to go kick his dad's ass too". 

    My oldest, now the holder of a BS in Petroleum Engineering and a MS in Finance from UT, got in trouble for starting a "Longhorn Club" in 3rd grade, and not letting kids in if he didn't think they were smart enough or if their parents were aggy. We got a call from the school over this. 

    Did you tell them it was a misunderstanding by your son and that as the club was only going to be open to Gifted and Talented students you would talk to him about removing the "no aggy" restriction as it would be redundant.

    Makes the conspiracy theory about this not being an accident blaze that much brighter…

    ...not the Eli Copter Mossad stupidity, but the internal Iranian power struggle where Khamenei's son would have a larger reason to support the President's death for his own personal/political gain.  

    This could get interesting.  I wonder how much Khamenei senior knew or was involved.
