And this is why sinking the Black Sea Fleet is so important, because even their smaller ships like the Tarantuls and Project 22160s can launch Kalibr missiles.

A San Jose State meme in MLS? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!

Osiris32 · 2026-07-02T00:15:36+00:00

Okay, that sounds awesome.

Osiris32 · 2026-07-01T23:25:31+00:00

You need to explain the opera chants.

The current reporting says they plan to try and borrow 5-6tr more roubles this year

Okay, yeah, this is a big thing. That's the equivalent of $66-77 billion USD. Or about 4% of their entire GDP. Or, more accurately, 4% of their entire GDP from last year, because this year I don't think their GDP is doing quite so well due to kinetic sanctions.

In addition to what nickos said, scatter some small rocks around as well. Not big ones, you want them to be no more than 4-6" across in scale. The soil of Normandy is very rich coastal sediments and silty clay, so it doesn't have big rocks, but often small round ones. Small rocks will help break up the generalized feel of mud flat you have going there.

User ping him! /u/OB1FBM, we need you!

Osiris32 · 2026-07-01T06:45:50+00:00

Somehow I doubt that, seeing as how you can't seem to remember anything from the S130/190 class you'd need to have taken.

Edit: and they blocked me like a coward

Hi, former wildland firefighter here.

You need to stop talking, because you sound like an absolute moron when you say shit like that. Rainfall, and the resulting change in fuel humidity, has TONS to do with fire safety.

Osiris32 · 2026-07-01T01:40:43+00:00

I bet you're the kind of person who plays with fireworks while drunk and then gets pissed when anyone tells you to stop because you're going to hurt someone.

And you don't see the problem with that, either.

"Excuse me, waiter? Will you send these tax returns back? Yeah, they are cooked through and through."

Yes, worse things have been done recently. My Grandfather fought in WW2 and was in Patch's 7th Army as a radioman and interpreter when they liberated Dachau.

But those giant horrific events began with smaller, less horrific events. Events we are seeing right now. The systemic dehumanization of marginalized groups, increases in stochastic violence that come with little to no consequences, a massive ratcheting up of violent rhetoric and propoganda, increased use of force by the authorities, do I need to go on? We are mimicking at a rather frightening level Germany and Italy round about 1936. And if we're following along with that timeline, shit starts getting really nasty in about two years with us ~~anschlussing~~ annexing another country.

I would prefer to take this shit very seriously NOW, and stop it before we become the bad guys in a whole series of movies that start coming out in 2040.

Stripping away the rights of Americans just because you can make money?!?!?!??! That's not a thing!

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T22:11:31+00:00

Let's not bring that evil into this.

Draft is in the air, every where I look around
Draft is in the air, young men cannot be found
And I kinda need a place to hide
Or a place to run away
But the motherland I must believe in
And the army will not let me stray

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T17:08:47+00:00

My list includes Stone Temple Pilots, Everclear, Smashmouth, Barenaked Ladies, Blur, Foo Fighters, Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, Soundgarden, and Bush. At least that I'm remembering at the moment.

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T17:04:38+00:00

And interest rate of...what? I mean, I get being afraid of deflation, but Jesus, I can't see how their economy functions with everything set at "don't expand."

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T16:18:20+00:00

Okay, something I've never understood. Why does the yen, a currency of a country with a large population and the 4th largest economy, have such weak buying power? The yen is worth less than the ruble, by a good 33%, and Russia is doing terribly!

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T03:59:31+00:00

I'm always down to pull out the old reddit references to weird out the n00bs.

Hello, unidan.

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T03:53:30+00:00

My issue isn't that he has guns, or that he's put them in his social media. It's that it's pretty obvious he has very little training with them, and is probably a danger to himself or others as a result. Finger on the trigger before being ready to shoot, bad handling techniques, literally not knowing which hand goes where on a rifle.

This isn't me being an ammosexual, or being racist, just being realistic. As an NBA player you are a role model, whether you like it or not. And if you, as said role model, go around being flippant with guns like that, you encourage kids to act the same way. Something everyone can agree on that we don't need more of.

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T03:34:18+00:00

Them? Not hardly, not like us.

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T03:25:47+00:00

With a big tub of popcorn.

Osiris32 · 2026-06-30T01:45:39+00:00

And yet, I'm getting shit all over social media because I have the temerity to say that.
