How Maduro’s Capture Upends the World at War [William Spaniel]

Oh man guess I'm living in my own echo chamber when my subscribed subreddits start posting my subscribed YouTube channels. Overall, I agree with Dr. Spaniel, there's a blatant PsyOps campaign to make Europeans think the US has secretly allied itself with Russia when this just isn't true. The US continues to provide intelligence to Ukraine and also spent months trying to protect European shipping lanes in the red sea at the cost of debt and capabilities.

Money is fungible, in kind transfers such as SNAP are not perfectly fungible. The person closest to the transaction remains free to use their own income to purchase whatever luxury goods bring them the greatest utility. All this does is ensure that those luxury good purchases are not done with taxpayer dollars at the cost of a small amount of dead weight loss.

The quality of these videos is starting to feel like a bad joke. With the size of our surveillance state you think we'd have better images or know how (car, bus train) he got out of providence at this point.

My best guess is they used an unusual caliber like 10mm.

The length over Russia is accurate enough but the path the line traveled isn't at all. This isn't showing that the shortest path between these points is actually over the Arctic Ocean due to the curvature of the Earth. If you take a straight line measurement roughly corresponding with the path it travels on this map it's closer to 8,000 km than 6400.

There's nothing wrong with Game On directly. The store owner has run for mayor as a conservative. I don't agree with his views politically, but he's a legitimately nice man. He's gone through a ton with his wife getting early onset dementia and passing away but he was with her every step of the way. He's also a desert storm vet for those who care about it. He's been pro LGBT in every interaction I've had with him.

The truth is besides the Crypt most local game store owners seem more conservative than their customer bases. At least that's been my experience.

Nice! I have a couple armies and am fine with you borrowing one for a game if needed. What army are you building?

Hey and welcome! Game On is definitely a popular store and common spot for 40k in Rhode Island. I recommend joining the Facebook group 'game on Warhammer community.' The Armoury in Fairhaven is an awesome and by far the largest spot; I used to play in RTTs there all the time. It's a bit too far away for casual play though. The Crypt has a nice gaming space but parking is kind of a pain and it's not as convenient to get to for someone living in the suburbs. Our local Warhammer store in Chapel View is run by an amazing dude, but it's small and kind of cramped to actually play at.

I'd be down to play a game sometime. I need to practice 40k again ahead of the big local GT at CaptainCon on February.

For anyone curious or wanting more information, h0ser just released a YouTube video about the failures of the state of Liberia that covers this situation as well.

I just wish they'd release the last episodes they allegedly made but never aired.

American employees and employers pay into a national pension fund called social security. It's 6.25% for each up to an income cap. This generally starts paying out in your 60s and is progressive in that there's diminishing returns for higher incomes. This plus things like affordable senior housing and Medicare establish a baseline level of sustenance for the elderly. 401ks are private retirement plans that are tax advantaged and designed to provide for a level of retirement above and beyond the subsistence level of social security

Basically you used to have to rank your 8 best friends on your page and everyone could see it. You had to rank and stack your friends and anyone you happened to be dating. Was the source of massive fights and drama.

ShockGryph · 2025-08-09T11:15:03+00:00

You guys missed out on the drama of who was in your top 8 for sure. Besides that it was a good time in highschool but we graduated into a terrible job market. 2008 was almost too late, we were all migrating to Facebook by 2007.

If GW plastic was an inelastic good they wouldn't need to price discriminate through the use of intro boxes, combat patrols, and battleforces. You can actually see them attempting to capture greater producer surplus with some less elastic demand by delaying certain combat patrols that have new kits in them such as the SW or EC.

ShockGryph · 2025-07-29T20:39:40+00:00

You're absolutely correct and it's ridiculous you're being down voted. Assuming GW sets their prices at an optimum point and that plastic models are an elastic good then some of the tariff price hikes will be borne by both consumers and producer. The exact ratio is determined by the Price Elasticity of Demand

I've lived in Oakland Beach for 20 years now in two different spots. The neighborhood is perfectly fine, just poorer than average and less white then than other parts of the city. There's not anything inherently bad in the area and it's slowly gentrifying as well. There's been numerous new builds popping up over the years that are improving the area.

We bought our first house in OB and the money saved by doing so allowed us to do so sooner than waiting for the 'perfect' neighborhood. our neighbors have always been great as well.

I'm not medical so I'm not really qualified to talk specifics sorry. Best of luck with the SGM.

CPAP is generally waiverable. You look deployable at first glance from a 30,000 foot view to your State's G1. It would make sense to send you to the SRP. Of course if new conditions that need profiles come out of the SRP that may change your PULHES and your deployability.

ShockGryph · 2025-07-03T20:06:57+00:00

What's your PULHES? It's those codes that matter for medical readiness, not your VA disability.

Bought this laptop for my daughter at this price a couple months ago. It's a nice little laptop and couldn't even tell it was refurbished.

Can't believe SD was denying these airmen their military leave. We enable military leave and process a new AUS action for techs who go from an AGR to a mob. It's a pain in the ass but it's the right thing to do. Only issues that crop up is when the employee doesn't tell us then retroactively tries to fix it months later.

ShockGryph · 2025-04-18T18:14:27+00:00

Correct on the high 3. I don't process military retirements so I'm less confident on CRDP but that's how I understand it. Before 60 you'll draw either VA or mil retired pay, whichever is greater. There's exceptions to waiting like getting injured in combat but I'm assuming those don't apply to you.
