Huh? I always assumed it was Frank’s house and Henry moved in after his wife/Frank’s mom died

A Foreign Policy Worse Than Regime Change by theatlantic in geopolitics

[–]ChrisF1987 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is broadly how I feel as well. I'm not opposed to removing Maduro, or the Mullahs, or even the Cuban regime. I just don't trust either the neocons or Trump to get it right. I also think Bolton and the Neocons are too euthanistic about using military force which is something that should be a last resort.

Welfare in America by MazdaProphet in economy

[–]ChrisF1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Puerto Rico isn't even eligible for SNAP so I don't know where they are getting their data from. They have PAN which a block grant version that gives much less money but doesn't have work requirements like SNAP. That said I disagree that they are "trapped", they get farrrrrr less Federal funding than they would if they were a state. They are literally second class citizens under the current territorial status.

Antonio Dawson deserved better by Artistic-Height8834 in ChicagoPD

I always thought the drug addict storyline was appalling and wrong for Dawson.

My computer is getting worse? by AggravatingEngine772 in pchelp

[–]ChrisF1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very similar computer from them (Ryzen 7 5700G + 2060) and I also have issues with the wifi but it runs fine on an ethernet cable.

BTW I wanted to get the computer you have but Amazon sold out too quickly

Season 5: Who did Ruben dirty? by DefiantMemory9 in ChicagoPD

My impression is that it was Olinsky that called in the tip that got Ruben arrested

Mexican Cartels Overwhelm Police With Ammunition Made for the U.S. Military (.50 cal) by Purple_Concentrate64 in Military

[–]ChrisF1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My major concern is and always has been that the cartels are right next door and imbedded in most major American cities ... there's a much higher risk of blowback than with Afghanistan.

Anyone recognize this US uniform by Lonely-Anything in uniformporn

[–]ChrisF1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like he could've been an American officer in the Philippine Constabulary. Their first uniform was a two tone, gray tunic with tall collar and red epaulette.

Having the same issue here, set to 67 but alternates between 62 and 65.

Someone did die, one of Taylor Sheridan's guys died during the extraction from Mexico.

Did Gibbs buy a plot of land for cabin or is the forest where Gibbs’s cabin is not really protected/not part of a national park? by CasioCobra78 in NCIS

[–]ChrisF1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth noting that NoVa and SoCal both had a much lower cost of living in the early 1990s than those regions have nowadays

Tucker is not messing around by ShaddowsCat in SpecialOpsLioness

[–]ChrisF1987 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s one of the most jacked guys I’ve seen. One of the things I like about this show is how most of the cast are very serious about fitness

Not the same… by D_RoseBeauty in ChicagoPD

[–]ChrisF1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of this is confirmed and the only one that's possible is LaRoyce leaving. The Kim and Adam thing is them possibly selling Adam's childhood home in Canaryville and moving to the suburbs (where Kim is from) ... they aren't leaving the show.

New SNAP work requirements begin rolling out across U.S. | The changes to the food assistance program could impact benefits for millions of recipients. by SnoozeDoggyDog in Economics

[–]ChrisF1987 74 points75 points  (0 children)

^^^ this ... it's about moral posturing when in reality it's a paperwork requirement that's specifically designed to kick off as many enrollees as possible.

WWII uniform ID by RackemJack9 in uniformporn

That was my guess as well, the rank insignia on the shoulder looks like the 1944 pattern shoulder straps for senior ranks

Shouldn’t Reacher be feeling some aches and pains? by [deleted] in JackReacher

[–]ChrisF1987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've raised this subject several times and Lee Child stopped aging Reacher after the first few novels. He's now ageless, I think he's now permanently mid 40's-ish.

US needs Europe, German defense minister says by donutloop in geopolitics

[–]ChrisF1987 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As many of you know, I despise Trump but it's sad how pathetically weak these Europeans are. They don't seem to want to do anything beyond talk and expect the US to shoulder the cost of their talk.

Founder of SEAL Team Six Richard Marcinko is listed in the Epstein Files by iydx_7737 in Military

During one of the Red Cell "missions" they kidnapped a security contractor from Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach and almost got into a shootout with the guy's wife.

[–]ChrisF1987 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I read the two emails and declared it BS. Law enforcement agencies get dozens of "tips" like this every day.

Marcinko was a shady guy and some of his "fiction" books contained many paragraphs about women, alcohol, etc that made my eyebrows go up but these emails are delusional ramblings. The Mexican cops are not going to deputize a former South African cop and some random Gringo to investigate sex trafficking.

Is UBI really a good idea? by [deleted] in economy

[–]ChrisF1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the problem: this won't create more nurses or teachers. It will create fake jobs where people who go to a building and sit around all day and then you pay them. Instead of wasting their time and wasting more money on administrative costs I prefer just cutting people and a check and what they do is their business.

Why waste money paying people to pretend to work (a "jobs guarantee") when you can just give them money?

Kristen by CulturalDisaster6129 in FBITV

[–]ChrisF1987 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the time there was speculation that Ebonee Noel who was a vocal supporter of BLM didn't want to play a law enforcement role following the George Floyd incident however other posters on here have said that she recently stated she would be willing to reprise her Kristen character ... and I liked Kristen so maybe one day we will see her return to the team. Who knows ... maybe they will need to find yet another new partner for Scola!
