    Third Term?  More like third trip to through the buffet line.  Couple of real chunks.  She's eating her feelings and he's never not been "husky." These losers deserve each other.

    Not a  coincidence that these two posts are one right after another.

    You've misunderstood the situation. Big Pharma "influenced" the administration in the same way that a local business "influences" its neighborhood mafia boss.

    More like a couple of mafia bosses saying, "let's keep this in the family, or it will get ugly." 

    There's always a bigger fish.  Big Pharma has owned FDA for a while now.  RFK Jr. is nothing to them.

    My son just got his second co-op (kind of like a paid internship) at a company the specializes in "circular RNA" therapeutics (I can't begin to explain it, but it's rooted in mRNA delivery technology). It is some groundbreaking stuff, but you wonder if it will come under scrutiny by HHS for being in the same universe as "the jab", despite it being scientifically sound.

    This is the crowd doing the approving these days.  So what do you think?

    That's genuinely one of our amusing side notes when we travel, esp. to northern europe: any of their takes on mexican or Texas food.  It's usually.....quite sad and funny.

    On the Grand Tour with a buddy during the period between undergrad and grad school, it became a joke to go to at least one "tex-mex" place (if we could find them) at each whistle stop we hit.  There were some real doozies.  But the best was in 1983 at a hotel in Toronto a younger Chad ordered "nachos" and my Dad said, "You shouldn't have done that."  They gave me something like potato skins covered in sour cream with a dollop of cheese and some black olives.  I said, "I ordered the nachos."  Lady looked at me like I had three heads.  "Those ARE the nachos."  I poked at it a bit and then went with a burger.

  5. lol Finland was one place where I could consistently buy things in the grocery store that upon eating turned out to be something completely different than I had thought (and I actually know a few words in Finnish). It was fun.
    I love my Pingo Doce grocery store in Portugal - food quality is so much better than here, although it took a while to get used to shelf-stable milk and eggs.

  6. Am I the only one concerned that Big Pharma apparently has enough money, power, and influence to actually intimidate this administration? I can't think of any other person/country/industry that has successfully gotten these dipshits to actually backtrack. 

    Big Pharma has more money than god.

    This is the play.

    Militarily, Russia can continue to make gains -- small ones, but gains nonetheless -- at a heavy price.

    Ukraine's strategy is, and must be, NOT to recapture/capture territory, but to make the costs to Russia across the board so steep that their economy and/or regime collapses.

    Ukraine is not at war with the Russian military as much as it is at war with the Putin regime and the Russian economy.  Defeat those things, and the Russian military becomes irrelevant.

    All of this.

    If Russia continues across Ukraine at the current rate, it'll take a while, but there will be no Russians left to celebrate in Kyiv.  The problem is there may be very few Ukrainians as well.

    We unironically need a reverse age limit on video games. You turn thirty and get a redirect to baking or birdwatching or some shit. Stuff actually does cause brainrot. 

    You either get hard core into WWII history, or smoking meats.  There is no middle ground.

    Really hate defending the idiot in chief, but out of curiosity looked and based on the aircraft carrier and other ships in the google map image of the Philadelphia shipyard, this one actually could be legit.

    That said...but why?

    It is not legit.  Philadelphia Naval Shipyard was closed in 1996 and has been being redeveloped since that time.

    Fascinating story from the Economist today on how it's up to Europe to finance/prop up Ukraine for the next few years.  $140 billion is from frozen Rus assets, and probably another $260 billion from common bonds.  Because the US funding is basically gone.  The most interesting thing is that the focus is on funding Euro defense companies with that funding, so that less and less goes to US companies.  Nice.

    Link.  I'd like to show my "libertarian" cousin how us cutting spending on Ukraine is really punching ourselves in the nutsack by not getting defense jobs.

    northrup built the upgrade F-20 which the US basically spiked in favor of the F-16, then they took that design and mounted the wings higher and let McD run with it and thousands more of those were built. 

    I agree re F-20 being spiked by the government in favor of the F-16, but I'm not following re McDonnell Douglas.

    Hilarious, also TechPod was talking about robots in the house a few weeks back. They were in agreement that humanoid style robots are going to stay sci-fi for the foreseeable future. Having more roomba style robots that do one task well is the cheaper and more efficient path. The headaches of a giant robot wandering around and breaking stuff then falling on your dog and killing it are much more realistic than a robot maid that you can fuck.

    Sad Chad.

    So did the B-52….but that’s crazy for a fighter.

    And the Russians are doing it in a country next door to them.  We had to go to the other side of the world to do that.

    No doubt re the B-52.  I went down the rabbit hole of planes of similar capabilities and age.  Turns out the F-5, which debuted the same year as the Mig-21, is still operated by a number of countries as well.
