    Causing a miss by "up to 50 feet" doesn't make a shit when the frag pattern of HIMARS and ATACMS is 150+ft. They still have inertial guidance - I'd be a little more suspicious of anonymous sources saying the russians are perfectly countering American arms. 

    Yeah, that's an interesting point.  I was more focused on this quote...

    "The Russians deployed electronic warfare, disabled satellite signals, and HIMARS became completely ineffective,"

    I was a little bummed out by it.  But it also says they are working closely with the US to resolve the issues.  Which is a silver lining.  Better to find out now, problems with our weapons systems.

     

    There have been a lot fewer Himars memes...  hopefully it was just a by product of political fuckery limiting the US supply.

    That’s a problem. The fight for democracy and constitutional order needs a flag to rally around. I propose to you that the best and most appropriate symbol for the union is the American flag.

    But in the shape of the punisher mask right? right?!

    I feel that way about the "Come and Take It" flag.  At this point, it seems most of those who display the cannon & phrase are 2A nutjobs.  It's too bad, because it references an interesting part of Texas history, and the phrase itself goes back to the Revolutionary War.

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    yup...

    I love the guys with a spartan helmet on their ride...  cool cool. 

    A monarchic, slave holding, elitist group of serial pedophiles who inbreed themselves into the dust of history.

    I guess you are all out of lectures on decency and the bureaucratic state. That’s too bad. There never was a rules based order, at least not in our life times. Just geopolitical hegemony hid behind rhetoric and jingoism and some flag hugging. If anything got burnt down it was just your willful self delusion.

    Amazing how his "willful self delusion" is taking down bridges and infrastructure. 

    Remind me not to piss Bozo_C off!

    It also helps if you don’t have a chappelle show, “keeping it real” attitude.  If someone else is obnoxious or wants the arm rest, you need to let it go. And don’t bring your woman on these airlines if she’s the type to speak her mind to strangers, or has to be right in every discussion. In other words, don’t fly these airlines as the companion of any woman. 

     I've found that just being nice to people prevents/solves almost every problem.  The wife has a high EQ and isn't into drama.  She's like a fucking wizard she'll know their dog's birthday after a quick convo.  When we travel we go on cheap DIRECT flights.  Last time we flew Spirit, we had dinner every night at Michelin stared restaurants.  Pay for what matters.  Air travel is about getting somewhere cool, not trying to look cool getting there.

    Spirit has a cheap direct flight from New Orleans to Cancun.   I leave New Orleans mid morning and have lunch on Isla Mujeres.  I normally pack dry wick type clothes and swimsuits in my carry-on (in a vacuum/deflated bag.)

    It makes for an easy cheap and fun four day weekend with no gouge fees. 

    The in-air shenanigans have been minor, and I can put up with a whole bunch for just one hour.   The fact that you need a passport seems to be a filter that removed some of the Walmart element.

    The majesty of air travel is over.  Welcome to the commodity market.  Every flight is a crap shoot.

    Direct RT from Ft Lauderdale to LAX...  Less than $200 ... It's sooooo cheap.  Sure it's flying bus service, but it's one fucking fast bus.  Noise canceling headphones, downloaded show on Ipad, and low expectations are key.

    Also the last Spirit flight I was on was 100% better than the last Jet Blue flight.

    I should also mention that when you are Gen-X and drinking beer on a Sunday afternoon don't bother yelling "Play some Skynyrd!" at the Gen-Z band. They just don't get it.

    Don't be a hater.  Plenty of good Genz bands.  You just haven't seen them because you're old.

     

    Random example... This band cranks in concert.  I went to see a few different groups, but these guys went HARD.  Great show, tons of talent in the crowd too.  Also I felt old AF... as the kids say.

    Didn't play any Skynard, but did play a cover of the The Damned.

    There isnt a fucking notice anywhere on the yellow vest that the guy is a cop. Also important to note, the reporter is the one who from the beginning of the story claimed the cop JUMPED on the side of Scotty's car.   This fucking clown was pissed no one respected his authority
