  1. This is assisting me with my squirrel problem…and my neighbor who loves the furry tailed rats. It works fine. Not completely silent, obviously, but certainly does not sound like my 22 cracking. But honestly, I have not shot subsonic rounds out of my Ruger takedown before.
  2. This is a random thought I just had, but it seems like AI would be a great tool when analyzing the last five years play calling tendencies of the opposing offensive coordinator/head coach. That seems like a no-brainer, and an absolute boon to defensive coordinators. Which means I’m sure they are already doing it. If not, they need to chat with your university’s best AI guys and gals.
  3. I was there too, and yeah, that was a pretty good crowd effort. And I hate to say it, but I’ve been to a few night games at LSU that were louder. I literally had temporary hearing loss after one of them. And I could not hear what my brother was saying to me, and he was sitting right next to me. My one visit to college Station in 2012 was not that, but I was corrected by Aggy fans who told me they were the loudest stadium in the SEC now that they had joined.
  4. Sack of potato is for General. Private conscript family get one and half medium cabbage and joy of helping Motherland.
  5. Drinking blood thru a crazy straw, always struck me as pure genius.
  6. This falling drone debris thing is getting out of hand.
  7. The fact gata won last week is gonna give those assholes a tremendous extra incentive to beat Florida. I feel certain they will use the Florida/A&M game as a gerbil dick measuring contest to declare supremacy over the sips. Unfortunately , I think we get boat raced in this one. But maybe Aggy will Aggy. If getting curb stomped by Texas A&M will get Billy gone, that is a huge positive hard to root against.
  8. A healthy Florida defense is far better than our offense. By a bunch.
  9. Bad article. Unfair. I really like the photo though.
  10. apparently,there are currently around 70,000 Russian soldiers who are AWOL. Given that they are subject to arrest and/or summery execution, I would assume that most of them are armed. I think desertion is subject to 15 years prison time, although if it is a serious problem, I assume they will increase jail time as a deterrent if they have not already. IOW, there are 70,000 armed Russian criminal somewhere between the front and wherever back home is. I have to think that this is a teeny weenie, itsy-bitsy problem for Russia right now.
  11. ….. by raising a solid point.
  12. When public transportation starts to break down and buses do not show up and people can’t get to work or to the grocery store or to take care of their ill, elderly parents, things will start to get exponentially worse. Because when companies have financial problems, laying off employees is the quickest short-term way to stay alive. I assume that Russian HR is similar to European HR, with the exception that Russian HR will probably accept bribes to avoid the first layoff. Firing employees who don’t come to work seems to be low hanging HR fruit, even when they aren’t coming to work because there are no buses to take them to work. Maybe someone should create The Great Russian Enshittening thread so that we can track the myriad of ways that the country is falling apart separate from the military and diplomatic focus of this one.
  13. One thing that we know for sure, and that is that the MOD will be getting first priority on the fuel. The fuel that is scarce. The fuel that is increasingly expensive. The fuel that the private sector requires so that companies don’t go out of business because they can’t deliver products or services. But this is Russia. And in Russia, when you have a product that you can sell at an inflated price that everyone will buy, you can bet your ass that Russian generals are selling military gas as quickly and in such volume as people can pay them. Some of them will get rich before they fly out of windows on their birthdays, but this continuing fuel shortage scenario will continue to be the precursor to more significant economic collapse.
  14. What happened to his other stupid son who got himself fired from the Dolphins? Did his dad get him a practice squat gig somewhere?
  15. No, your chemo did not make my balls shrink.
  16. “Trump’s ICE would have deported him back to Kenya because of that false birth certificate…..” Probably.
  17. Well, he can’t bitch about it because it was obviously Predestined….
  18. They see that Russia is imploding, and they are probably pretty sure that they won’t be invaded by the Russians anytime soon, given the circumstances, even if their border checkpoints cause Russia some logistical problems by delaying military supplies. Given the region, it’s probably not more complex than Kazakhstan’s leaders using the moment to get something out of Russia in return for letting the Chinese military stuff through again. Either that, or China has no problem/encourages this, helping Russia’s descent into its impending implosion - all while appearing to provide support. A weak Russia with problems can only greatly benefit China in a myriad of ways in the long run. And in the short run they can continue raping Russia by insisting on cheaper crude oil exports as Russia’s cash poor self can’t protest. Then again, it may just be the same old story: when a bully has victimized someone over a long period of time - and that victim now has the opportunity to obtain a measure of revenge against the bully - they will.
  19. if you have no guarantee of continued fuel supply, you simply no longer have a nation capable of maintaining a supply chain. If you cannot sell and deliver your goods to people, you’re out of business.
  20. I saw an interesting video about the strike on the refinery that was north of Moscow. Part of the genius of that attack was using flocks of super cheap drones carrying no munitions to confuse air defenses and make them spend resources to stop the large numbers of what were essentially completely useless and non-threatening drones. if sending up hundred dollar drones will result in expensive AA Resources being wasted by Russia, they should be doing this every night until it’s time to use the real drones or missiles.
