  1. Now I just want to know if you carry a Scissor Jack around with you even if you're pretty sure you'll never need to use it... you know, because they are equivalents.
  2. How many stair cases are there in St Petersburg? Or perhaps high open windows. Asking for plutonium underpants suppliers.
  3. "Quantity has a quality all it's own" But Ukraine has, or rather had, a population north of 40 million. So, if they're willing to fight to the end we will see if Russia has the will/ability to burry them under a pile of bodies.
  4. Yeah, but the trick is we need to get the nerds in the Football forum to start it and blame the Food & Travel Chads
  5. Damned... almost feel bad for them.. around 8:00 ish Spoilered for the hot tank on trench action
  6. More Ruskies in S. Florida than in any other country... Sunny Isles Beach has a "Little Moscow" and there are a shitload more of them that have come to other areas of S Florida to buy property. In part to have safe storage of their wealth and also to serve as a Summer home. I hear Russian or some other slavic language that sounds like Russian may 2-3 times a week and I don't live anywhere near Sunny Isles
  7. lulz. Not all = barely any Absolutely go if you haven't been. YOINK!
  8. Not when I went last year. ymmv
  9. So is using clip instead of magazine... The Russians want the black sea, fertile land, nuclear infrastructure, mining resources, pipeline routes to their markets and that's why they are attacking. This is a Russian war. I'm not going to argue with you further if you feel the Russians are fighting American hegemony via a proxy war so be it. Enjoy comrade talking points: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-united-states-moscow-5cc322a7ef3b0407c529ebf8bb1fbfd2
  10. Just know your repeating and reinforcing Russian talking points
  11. Russians want to frame it as a proxy war with the West and they had no choice but to bring the fight... That's all bullshit. From the internet...so it must be true... Proxy war "a war instigated by a major power which does not itself become involved."
  12. No matter which BS propaganda location you picked up this idea, the US did not start or is engaged in a proxy war. Fucking Russians attacked a democracy in Europe and have openly stated neo colonial aims in regard to Eastern Europe. That's it, that's the end of the story Slightly more than half the US seems to be ok arming Ukraine so that they can defend themselves from annihilation and perhaps genocide. Like the French did for us. We are sending mostly old equipment that would otherwise cost the US to "exercise" and keep ready... so besides transportation this stuff is old sunk cost Now that we are clearing out old inventory it is indeed time to be sure that the entirety of the defense supply chain is inside the continental US If the Russians die to American arms wielded by Ukrainians (good) then they can blame Putin and the Oligarchs, and if they want it to stop they should retreat to pre-2014 borders ... and the US/Allies will to arm the Ukrainians would be gutted. I live in S Florida and there are shit load of Russians here enjoying the good life. I am conflicted about whether they should be deported en masse or if it's better that their yuppy asses are here spending money instead of home being conscripted. Just got back from lunch and the table behind me was 3 young blond women speaking russian(?) lots of "Da"s and comparing the stuff they just bought. But my ignorant ears can't determine if they're Russian or Ukrainian or some other Slavic language, but there is at least one house in my hood with Fuck Ukraine flag... so that's nice. Slava Ukraini!
  13. agree to disagree... Alt-country not mainstream country and that's what I'm counting on
  14. Because I'm not much of a country music guy... actually I generally dislike country "twang" and overtly southern accents (I'm from Virginia and a fake or amplified accent is like ice picks in my ears). But I have heard they are a great "rock" show, the tickets are cheap, and the venue is a short walk from my house... Worse case scenario, I'll shove some Skoal in my back pocket (for esthetic purposes only) and drink expensive warm beer for a few hours (or less) and bar hop home. But I have a newly found affinity for Southern rock and I do like "Gravity's Gone" I got their recent set lists and I made a playlist in Spotify so that by the time the show rolls around I'll at least be familiar with some of the stuff they're likely to play. So far "3 Dimes Down", "Daddy's Cup", and "The Driver" are also doing it for me. I want to like them, but we'll see.
  15. Makes sense, not a pickguard screw in sight Heard an interesting quote about SRV...something along the lines of "he makes people want to learn the guitar and people who play the guitar want to quit"
  16. I just missed one of their shows the last time I was in Athens.... damnit!
  17. The thing is that we sent them something like 2x the number of artillery shells that the cannons we sent them can fire. The barrels are only rated for so many rounds... Is there a fudge factor? Sure... but if they need more "shells" they actually need a whole new round of artillery from soup to nuts.
  18. Don't forget the Parkland cowards... Shooter escaped their "Perimeter" and was sitting in a McDonalds watching coverage of his shooting for fucks sake. This work won the Pulitzer prize, I assume in part because the Sentinel had to fight to obtain information and painstakingly piece it all together... Its not a long read and is interactive, but only look at this if you want to get really pissed. Pay attention to the timelines https://projects.sun-sentinel.com/2018/sfl-parkland-school-shooting-critical-moments/
  19. Perhaps, but if you can't screw up your courage to go put yourself to the test in order to literally save young kids lives, then you shouldn't be a cop or anyone sworn to protect anything.
  20. I'm not a tactical bro, but it's my (perhaps naïve) understanding that the policy is to engage an active school shooter ASAP. I'm mean after shots have been fired do you negotiate while kids bleed out on the floor?
  21. Yeah the Uvalde shooter was in an unlocked room murdering children, it was the cops that sat in the hallway. Don't try to excuse their cowardly behavior. Also while I don't think cops are all heroes or villains by default, it sure looks like the Tennessee cops might actually deserve some admiration for a job well done. I saw the video, they went into rooms to clear them. It sure seems like the Nashville cops remembered their training and their balls and went to confront the shooter ASAP instead of detaining parents and setting up road blocks at a safe distance. I wonder why only Nashville PD wanted to release the bodycams so quickly while Parkland and Uvalde have vigorously fought public disclosure.
  22. Otherwise known as doing their f*cking jobs... That said, at least they're not the cowards from Broward or Uvalde.
