  1. Follow up to the fur coat story. They took some of them back after the photo shoot. Really. https://meduza.io/en/news/2023/02/09/igor-strelkov-s-team-give-fur-coats-to-donbas-military-widows-shoot-publicity-video-take-coats-back?utm_source=email&utm_medium=briefly&utm_campaign=2023-02-10 "The speaker added that at least three women from the footage had to give back their coats as soon as the video had been recorded. At first, she said, they were told that their coats were not of high enough quality, and would soon be replaced with better ones. Later, the same women were informed that they’d received their coats by mistake, and that they were meant for other people."
  2. We did a partial war, and did not try to conquer North Vietnam, but just keep them out of the South. When we decide kick ass and conquer shit with 100% focus we are awesome. Winning the peace is much harder unless you want to commit genocide and/or oppress people with totalitarian methods.
  3. Not on topic: My wife has lost diamond ear rings, had diamonds get loose in rings, wedding ring, or fall out of different jewelry. She loses stuff and knows it. She told me about 4 years ago she wanted a new larger diamond ring ... but said she wanted it to be artificial diamonds. She hated losing them, or having them come out and she just wanted something she liked the look of and did not care if it was real, and would not be upset with (as much) if it was lost. Around where we live people will assume it is real and she would let them assume that. Still a little expensive for the ring and it did have smaller diamonds around the setting, but it looked/looks great. I had my best friend tell me what an asshole I was for now putting him on the spot. My wife did eventually tell his wife it wasn't a real diamond. I don't know if that helped him or not.
  4. If Ukraine gets Russia out what it will want is to secure it's position with a strong military presence on their borders and then join NATO. Hungary will work against it, but like the Nordic countries if the UK, Poland, US etc give stand alone agreements of mutual security during the transition period then it is just as good.
  5. Supernaturally dark.
  6. Take them to a Great Wolf Lodge or some other indoor adventure weekend. Have them miss school and leave right before your wife does.
  7. But to be fair, Russian men seem to be shitty people, human beings and likely husbands. So their death is the prize and the coat is a bonus!
  8. Seen bigger couch fires on (tOSU) campus.
  9. My cat does that too!
  10. That is something I am curious about as well? Is that person slow? Did they know and do it as a prank? Did they do it hoping to create an incident? Based on the article it sounds like the police officer and department acted appropriately. Not sure about the "vest" part, especially since they did not set it up in conjunction with the PD...so it means nothing to the PD who were not aware of it. I understand the concern in today's environment, but I do find it funny hearing the students/actors talk about how they are offended that when they went in public and acted out scenes of violence and assault that people, you know, believed it.
  11. Boston Dynamics is already integrating them into their next generation of gymnastic/parkour robots.
  12. They have already claimed to “annex” all the territory they occupy and territory they no longer occupy. So technically there is territory that is “Russian” which Ukraine already occupies. They will just be a little more upset with Crimea as they invaded and stole it longer ago than what they more recently invaded and stole.
  13. So you’re saying that Daniel Figurelli and Daniel Joseph are the same person. The same Daniel Figurelli who was identified as a racist and lost is PWC internship and job? However now Daniel Figurelli has changed his name to Daniel Joseph but he is still making racist comments all over social media. That Daniel Figurelli aka Daniel Joseph…the racist?
  14. Where's Barbara Billingsley when we need her!
  15. To drop a torpedo at a sub you need to have a good idea of where it is located. Ukraine has no real capability to do that. Additionally, you need to know WHO's submarine it is as well. They all aren't Russian.
  16. When on active duty I had Top Secret plus clearance, and worked with a smaller intelligence agency/group. If you want to declassify, or lower the classification on something there is a firm process and it involves the originator of the intelligence to review and approve (often they won't). The running joke was that for the State Department (or any non-military or regular non-intel organization) that the declassification process involved taking a Black Sharpie and lining out the classification designation, then treating it as not being classified.
  17. You can't listen if you don't have ears.
  18. Comment is on the nose!
  19. This is not how minesweepers are suppose to clear mines.
  20. You can make your stand at Applebee's, but that stand better involve the parent taking the kid out of the restaurant and to the car or to the parking lot. If your kid is acting up, remove them from being around other people.
  21. This is not an electric vehicle but a hybrid. Think Prius type energy use. It’s battery is charged by the diesel engine and also by kinetic energy as it brakes and moves, but no charging station.
  22. They were heard yelling LeeeeeRoooooooy Jenkinsovvvvvvv!!!! as they ran across the open field.
  23. ... and a smile!
  24. This seems unreasonable and made up. A quick search seems to support my belief, but I am willing to believe. Can you show your sources?
  25. Everyone knows how to get out. It just takes an hour to get there.
