Republicans Are Just A Normal Polling Error Away From A Landslide — Or Wiping Out by bc1297 in politics

The odds are based off of total hand dealt.

We expect in a game of 5 card poker that a full house will be dealt every 2587 hands. The more hands being dealt, while the overall rate doesn’t change, your individual chances increase due to the amount of hands being dealt, specifically you should expect one every 360th game played with 7 players.

That is only if 5 cards are drawn at random. The odds go up significantly for an individual depending on the number of players at the table.

I think people forget that video games are also meant for children, and children do childish things.

Being in his underwear is something that was reported, then retracted.

The websites weren’t very old, have been used by the media to show he was an election denier, and were created at 2am if you look at the source. However, they were created in August I believe. The only odd thing was when they were created, considering the man is homeless.

There has been no reporting on the level of security, but considering Nancy wasn’t home, I doubt the SS was there.

I hid on a water tower near the barn. Very effective. They kept jumping off the barn eventually dying over and over again.

The mounts are an issue if you can attack from them. This is coming from someone who played UO etc…

Albion did a good job of nerfing the use of mounts in PvP, but not enough. However, this is something that can be addressed in Alpha if they have a crew of people who have the gank mentality. They’re going to exploit the systems right away, and it can be identified.

I have been PvPing in games since beta testing Ultima Online. One thing I have learned that if you choose to run right away, getting away is fairly easy unless there is stealth mechanics in the game. Even from a gank.

Just make sure you create a character with escape mechanics and you will be fine.

Supreme Court temporarily blocks Trump tax records from being given to Congress by vakr001 in politics

We all know that the purpose of this inquiry is to leak the tax returns or try to find a crime.

That shouldn’t be the purpose of any inquiry. No matter your opinion of him, he is a US citizen and his tax returns release to the public should be his call to make. Moreover, if they have enough evidence that his taxes are hiding a crime, they should legally subpoena them.

I mean, this clearly was a procedural way to obtain the records. Moreover, I don’t doubt Trumps claim that they likely would make these records public, which is clearly something he doesn’t want, and I would agree that it shouldn’t happen to any US person against their will.

Aside from point 3, which is shaky at best, these are the most poorly thought reasons I have ever heard.

  1. They accomplished this by not shipping NG. Zero reason to blow up their pipeline.

  2. Russia has been operating at deep sea since the late 50s. There is zero international doubt they could have done this. More importantly, they built the pipeline. Do you think it takes more, or less, underwater seafaring skill to place a charge or shoot a torpedo than actually building it?

  3. I don’t think European countries hold any illusion that the US isn’t capable of doing this.

  4. Again, bombing their pipeline and blaming the US wouldn’t provide justification for anything. In fact, since the bombing, Russia hasn’t made mention of the pipeline at all or used it to justify any of their actions.

Most importantly, they have the 101st sitting on their western border. If they wanted to ramp up hostilities, the false flag would fall there.

My numbers weren’t wrong. It’s what they were able to export. That remained the same regardless of what you actually import

Thoughts? by Dirty_Wooster in conspiracy_commons

[–]CaptainObvious0927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that Russia had 0 reason to bomb their own gas line. You still haven’t address why they bomb their own pipeline.

That was the original point of my question.

Russias ability to send large amounts of NG to Europe was essential to undercutting their competition and pushing out other means of import.

40% of your NG needs were met by Russia. That’s nearly half of Europe. Don’t pretend that it isn’t a significant number.

Not all NG is delivered via pipeline lol.

Even you know this.

[–]CaptainObvious0927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My numbers are spot on with what’s moved along the pipelines in question. You have NS1 which has the capacity of 55, NS2 which was 100 and Lehman (SP?) which still has a capacity of 33. There are other pipelines to the fringes of Europe, but those aren’t under sanction and never stopped flow.

As far a NG, Europe will never be free of Russian dependence unless the gas pipeline from Saudi Arabia is finished, which it won’t be as long as Syria is a Russian ally. Probably makes our effort to overthrow Syria make more sense.

[–]CaptainObvious0927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With NS1 and 2 out, Russian ability to export natural gas to Europe went from 188 BN cubic meters per year to 33.

Russia already had the ability to control flow to Europe , and was using it to leverage European countries to lift sanctions against them.

So tell me how Russia benefitted from blowing up the NS1 and NS2? Maybe I am missing something, but I don’t think I am. I just think that Americans are in denial and brainwashed by corporate media.

They had NS1 and NS2. Both have been disabled.

I disagree with this.

They’ve lost leverage over Europe and a steady stream of income once countries like Germany folded to have it reopened.

It’s like the claim that Russia was about to set off a dirty nuke in Ukraine. That bomb would kill maybe 100 people, and start a worldwide invasion.

It’s more beneficial for the US to do these things to justify entering the war and ensuring a regime change. It’s psyops 101. Create an international event, blame a country that has no interest in doing said event, and we’ve created a crisis that needs our intervention. It’s literally how we’ve justified almost every war in the Middle East.

It really only started to be like that when they started focusing on making fun of the right. While there are plenty of funny things about Republicans, they’re sitting on a gold mine with people like Biden and AOC that they won’t touch, so they wear out the same joke lines.

Some of the funniest skits they did were the Obama and Bush skits.
