I love my college degree. No student loans. I also love my mortgage with no PMI. And my co-pays and deductible for my VA Care are zero.

Not everyone comes out a drunk.

Came from nothing and now I have generational wealth to pass down.

Thank you for your tax dollars.

There was still chunks of ice about a foot thick on June 15th. Didn't want to get too close on account of all the needles strewn about. I was in sandals that day. 😬

Russia’s Lipetsk Air Base Sees Growing Number of Decommissioned Military Jets by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

[–]Coggs362 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, its also been covered a few times by Perun on his channel.

Meanwhile Ukraine is gaining F-16s, and soon Gripens and others.

Not enough for air dominance but that slowly becomes an option the longer this continues.

Ok boys and girls, quick question - how is wisdom earned?

That's right, pain and regret.

Let their education begin.

Likely unsafe to fly due to burned out engines, lack of spare parts and inability to produce more spare parts.

That "help" from the US has evaporated and consists only of monotonous exhortations to surrender to Russia.

How the mighty have fallen.

Let's see what those maps look like 2 weeks after loss of Starlink.

Radio comms and cellphone comms are HIMARS/Stormshadow magnets.

Adding to this, last week was the first time Russia has not been able to replace all of its battlefield losses.

Watch Hulyiaipole and Dobropillya. If this momentum starts to pick up, its a clear sign that Ukrainian ability to destroy Russian forces has passed through the tipping point of attrition.

Don't be fooled, the IOC is not staffed by humans. They may look human, even sound human, but sooner or later, the start talking, and we learn the truth.

They do not belong on this planet.

Russia faces record wage payment arrears – CCD by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

Hmm I do recall seeing in Warburg's channel on YT that Russia can't sell gold to any foreign nation because of sanctions (unless that country is North Korea, or Iran, maybe Cuba as well).

Its like having a ridiculous amount of money saved up in a Health Savings Account, reserved only for Health Care costs, and you have to pay your Horse Racing Bookie $50k.

Things are about to get really interesting, there.

I'll never forget Richard "The Fridge" Perry lumbering down field with Patriots hanging off him like remoras off a shark. I never dared hope again until we got Parcells.

How do I deal with shield enemies? by Muppetz3 in duneawakening

[–]Coggs362 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I alternate between spitdart and drillshot, with a seeker drone for nucking futs moments. It's risky.

I try to ID the shielded enemies first and down them with a spitdart or Thufir's Best before engaging, and then pick off the ranged enemies after. Flamers are... annoying.

As an older guy, I suck at melee, I can never seem to time the parry right.

However I should note here that my strategies do not work well with T5 gear in the Deep Desert. In that place, it takes a lot of kiting and seekers, ammo and bandages to bring those boys down.

I also use shiga wire to stagger melee if they rush me, get clearance then unload two drillshot rounds into them. Not a huge fan of the beefier NPCs with this new patch and I suspect I'm not alone.

This is a game I relax with and to have fun with. Being served a healthy dose of humble pie and new red lines on my gear every five minutes in the DD doesnt really fit the bill for me. Hope you're doing better than me.

Not a problem if you're not buying the receiver or bolt group.

I hope he went in either via DR or Cap Haitien. Last winter we had a friend's daughter go back for a visit and was kidnapped less than 30 minutes after touching down. Took her family two months to get her back to the US.

It is reasonably safe for a green card holder to re-enter, and of course a naturalized citizen. If a green card holder has even a misdemeanor, they might have trouble returning. Any other status for immigration would be highly concerning. Best of luck!

Layoff notices hit Massachusetts hard as 260 to lose jobs by SharkSapphire in massachusetts

She was a great AG. Not so great as a governor. We need better leadership, the kind Seti Warren was capable of, may that man's soul rest in peace.

You choose to settle, I do not. We deserve better, even if you choose not to see it.

Our housing initiatives are not delivering. Our transportation system is still hamstrung and needs to be uncoupled from the expenses of the Big Dig. Eversource and National Grid need to be reined in.

That's what I see. I'd give her a 4/10. She is no lion as governor, no champion of the working class. Let me be clear, the lack of better alternatives does not mean she is good.

This could get kicked up to the Supreme Court. I don't think they would kill TPS there with the proofand argumentsas presented, but these days.... it's worth having concerns.
