    On what basis do you think that Russia could actually mount a strategic nuclear strike at this point?

    The maintenance and physical condition of the Russian nuclear missile force is obviously questionable, based on what we've seen from Russia's conventional forces.  I think it's probably likely that the nuclear forces are maintained better than the conventional forces.  But is that a fair assumption?  After all, isn't the most high-dollar stuff that would be rife for corruption committed to the nuclear forces?  And of all things, isn't that what a grifter would think "this will never be used, so what's the harm if I steal it?"

     

    Earlier in this thread, someone suggested that the submarine fleet would be in much better shape than the ground-based ICBMs. Presumably the USN and our NATO allies are tracking every Typhoon and are ready to send them to the bottom of the ocean.

  2. The novelty wore off. The breaks between seasons were too long. I’m hoping that wasn’t the highlight of the season, because it falls far short of snake jazz, but it was the most entertaining episode so far this year. A stark reminder that Summer and Morty remain kids.

  3. I’ve been re-reading Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series to prep for the release of the seventh, (and last Wax and Wayne), book. Does anyone else get the feeling that the Wax and Wayne series slipped into a weird YA rut. I mean all of the Cosmere is kind of YA-ish, but I really have to struggle to get through W&W books despite the plot advancement.

    I'm going Newhart ending.... where Walt wakes up as a school teacher cancer-free and the whole thing was just a dream.

    Yep. Walt wakes up in bed with Bob Newhart and Jim Parsons and it was all a dream.

    I have been on cpap for about 20 years. I am a horrific snorer that can rattle a house. My last sleep study I had 90 episodes an hour, meaning my brain was waking up every 45 seconds.

    I have a ResMed and it’s fantastic. I finally got a great mask. I feel great using it but my habits suck. Even though I clean it with sonicare every day I will usually get a sinus congestion problem after four nights and I won’t use it for a week. Drs just shake their head.

    A cousin could not adjust to cpap and had surgery to remove his uvula and tighten his throat. It worked, no apnea or snoring, loves it but the recovery was rough.

    I’m considering this Inspire procedure. It’s an implant in the chest with a wire into the throat to control snoring. Anyone had this done?

    Have you tried an ozone cleaner?

    At first I thought they were paying tribute to Goodfellas by having Saul find out on a payphone that Kim was dead.  But I guess the German thing refutes that.  

     

    I was also thinking dead or in jail.
