  1. Pretty much a rounding error on the world scene. In a good production year they might hit 10 MMT, in a poor year they might import that. In any event nobody is relying on Indian wheat on a regular basis besides India.
  2. If you read the fine print, they are have a ton of loop holes in the ban, and they will still likely be a net exporter this year.
  3. Giving the infant mortality rates before formula, nothing that was terribly effective.
  4. Maybe Putin has a woman he loves there named Ramona though?
  5. For people moving back to rural areas, housing is still going to be an issue, as anything worth a shit is occupied, and everything else has been methed out and or pushed in, and nobody that isn't held there by family is going to want to put a house up unless they are close enough to a bigger employment hub to guarantee some semblance of resale value.
  6. Probably try and pick your pocket while they are hanging around too.
  7. If Putin really is sick, I hope State Media has Swan Lake cued up at all times, just in case.
  8. CIH was selling rebadged side by sides as Scouts but they must have just been leasing the trade mark back from Navistar.
  9. Nebraska and Kansas too. It's how we got the Runza. They settled a bunch in western Nebraska because it was sugar beet country, and they figured they'd be used to the desolation.
  10. Herbster managed to come in second in the primary, so we will see how he reacts from here
  11. I would guess it probably depends on how close it is to supply line factors, otherwise wouldn’t you want to keep pressing in the direction of ejecting more Russians from your country until you can threaten the supply lines of bigger areas
  12. Starting to see a bunch of reports that Ukrainian forces have reached the Russian Border near Kharkiv.
  13. More gutted than down. Dug a hole in a cattle lot dumped the remains in later and set it on fire again, and had to scramble for cover when a bunch of aerosol deodorant cooked off.
  14. They sure struck while the iron was hot on this
  15. Then everyone else can leave and join new NATO without them.
  16. Fucking outside of a tent ain't that difficult either.
  17. My moms side of the family is stacked with eccentrics, but the sequence of events that stands out is the the Christmas that one of my Uncles burned another of my Uncles house down on Christmas Eve. Uncle A had just returned to Nebraska after getting divorced in Ohio because he couldn’t stop drinking or gambling. (Also a Granada Vet, and somehow worked for Billy Sims at one point). Uncle B goes to Ohio to take Christmas presents and to cheer Uncle A’s kids up. Uncle A decides this means Uncle B is fucking his ex-wife, gets several gallons of diesel, sets Uncle B’s house on fire after stealing a couple hundred dollars in half dollars that Uncle B collected, and leaves a note at the door saying I did this. We run into Uncle A on the way over to Christmas Dinner and my mom and I talk Uncle A into turning himself in. (Which he did with 100+ half dollars in his pockets) In a series of epilogues to this event, Uncle A got away with violating his probation to go to a Nebraska Michigan State road game, quit gambling, had another kid? with ex wife after moving back to Ohio before keeling over from a brain hemorrhage, but by this point 5 years later he got along so well with Uncle B it was up to him to pull the plug. For the funeral his ex-wife Fedexed his ashes back to Nebraska, but they misplaced him so he didn’t make the funeral, so we just had the legion fire the salute in the Church parking lot, and went and drank lukewarm Coors Light at the farm while listening to the Husker fight song on repeat because that’s what he would of wanted
  18. Do you know anyone who likes being sued just because they do their job?
  19. As a card carrying Nebraskan who can’t vote against any of the assholes the Nebraska Republican offer up until November, I’ll just note Herbster is from Richardson County which gave us the Rulo Cult Killings and the events that Boys Don’t Cry were based upon. Pillen is just a fucking bad, but less handsy and knocked the fuck out of Billy Sims to force a fumble to secure Tom Osborne first win over OU. The other guy Lindstrom is also shitty but has the sense to at least say the quiet parts quiet. The party apparatus and Ricketts hate Herbster on a personal level, but he has enough money to not give a shit
  20. Coming to theatres late May in a limited fashion. I booked myself tickets to one of the 3 showings locally to me today. Probably going to wear pastels, and possibly get some low grade hallucinogens for the experience.
  21. I remember reading a few years back that Ukraine could cut their natural gas use a ton if they had the ability to regulate heat but most dwellings the Soviet era heating was either on or off, so maybe they haven’t?
  22. I’d just assume that if Twitter wants to continue to sell ads and/or charge people to use their service steps will have to be made to keep it from being comparable to standing next to hog manure lagoon turning over in the spring. That’ll inevitably upset the folks that enjoy being constantly slathered in shit.
  23. I’ll also note that soy oil futures have shown significant buy the rumor sell the fact action on that front
  24. After watching what Parkinson did to my Grandpa, I always said I’d never wish it on anyone. Turns out I was wrong about that
