  1. And like that, 16k in value from yesterday gone.
  2. Yup. i’ve been looking at all kinds of YouTube videos from content preparers that seek to show how every modern woman is incapable of being a good wife, and the opposing content saying that all men are idiot, bro children who fail to attract women. I was literally stunned by both the volume of gender war videos, and by the positions taken by both sides. It was like watching two different MAGA factions ignoring each other’s valid points while insisting that only they possess the truth because they’ve done their own research. Both sides insist that almost 100% of the opposite side are side are not worth living with. We are soon going to take a demographic hit from people in their 20s and 30s refusing to get married because they can’t stand the other gender. The sadder thing is I think that both sides are largely correct. Society is now made up by selfish, stupid, arrogant, mouthy non-empathetic people with no level of self introspection. Which sort of also explains our current political situation.
  3. I support your proposition, but predict that your plan to have YouTube posters voluntarily demonetized their platforms in that fashion will fail. We don’t need to watch it, quite correctly, but they don’t need to write it down efficiently when they earn coin from the clicks.
  4. Oh, I totally agree. Hence my caveat about only if there was a high chance of the shooter disappearing after the shoot-down. I just like the psychological impact of every time Russia thinks it can limit the drone problem, whatever solution it comes up with results in failure and crashed planes and dead orcs.
  5. Excellent point. I guess I assumed that because Ukraine is using drones to defend territory in the front lines as a main defensive tactic to limit Ukrainian personnel losses, that this was near the front. It makes a bunch of sense to conclude they will be using the private planes to track down drones heading for refineries and other places. Still, there are probably partisans and special ops people who could bring down some planes if this was happening in the middle of the boonies away from quick Russian military reaction assets and they had a good idea of target acquisition geography and timing.
  6. Appealing to Georgia fans’ intelligence is like appealing to Putin‘s humanity. I mean, you can do it, but the future negative result is already ordained.
  7. Just like Ukrainian snipers with 50 Cal single shot sniper rifles will have fun aiming for engine cowlings and pilot side windows. Let the games begin.
  8. The existence of private military companies under the control of potentially hostile-in-future oligarchs is surely a threat to Putin. This looks like it will put control of those private military companies under the MOD. Putin has to have total control of the military to survive, and the scare he got from Prigozhin is probably still on his mind as things continue to unravel. Also, Russia has been forcing men to sign up as reservists. Russian law says these people cannot be called up and sent to the special military operation without a declaration of war. Those men were willing to sign up because it meant they would not be sent to Ukraine under the current law. So now they are changing the law that prevents the use of reservists on the front-lines in Ukraine as more meat assault fodder, which is one hell of a bait and switch.
  9. I assume that the quid pro quo is not sending any more Iranian drones to Russia, among other things
  10. if he was smart, he would’ve had his “Trump sucks” special glass decanter of Trump in a diaper. He’d be running two shifts trying to keep supply up
  11. Hell, I remember classroom drills hiding from the nuclear attack - when we crawled under our desks in the early 1960s and we’re told not to look at the windows because of the blast damage to our retina and the shattered glass risk. That’s why I turned out normal
  12. My man. I bought 30,000 shares at the Bell opening and I’m up $4000 today. I bought 11,000 shares of WWR yesterday afternoon before close and I’m up $6000 today on that stonk. Bought Joby at $10 and now $18 on the remaining 300 shares I own. I made $24k on that after a week or two when I sold about 3000 shares at $17. Which is all to say if I ever see Harrison at a tailgate, the man buys nothing that day. IBRX still a tad underwater and keeping me humble.
  13. So I guess if you outlaw motorcycles and bicycles, we live as long as Gandalf.
  14. It’s like looking at a retirement savings map with the average and the mean 401(k). Montana is so sparsely populated that just one or two geezers in their late 90s will skew the whole county’s outcome.
  15. No kidding. What self-respecting Surly patriot would pass up the opportunity to vigorously butt sex the Russian propagandist - for Democracy - after insisting “Himars” is the safe word.
  16. I whacked my elbow and the bursa sack started growing until it looked like a Popeye thing. My doctor said it might go away or it might not, and in any event. If it did not then draining it would not help - but surgically removing the entire bursa sack might work. Sometimes around nine months later it dawned on me that it had completely resolved without any treatment. Maybe it’s that. Or the internal parasites from your street food intake are having a convention in your elbow.
  17. And Tuesdays…. you think you ate a bird. You think you ate a chicken enchilada grande and that your unfortunate bathroom experience right after was just a mole verde related event - and not your colon trying unsuccessfully to digest micro-plastics and nano bots…
  18. Do you wait for the swelling to go down - or just blurt it out immediately?
  19. While I admit I’m guessing, I think if losing her navigation app can send her into a crying tizzy, then a total absence of electrical power at her Moscow flat this winter would probably not be well received by her. No electricity, no router/modem. No router/modem, no OnlyFans.
  20. East Moscow Slav face?
  21. Morning walks with pound hound have been been glorious.
  22. Hydrocortisone is some good stuff for sure.
