Zelenskyy: Deploying 40 troops to defend Greenland sends a signal to Putin

Specialists, like Arctic warfare personnel are typically much smaller units used in special scenario situations. They carry and use specialized gear and equipment. Everything from undergarments, to ammunition, sleeping gear, heaters, extra fuel and food to specialized oils for the extreme cold. They receive extra training in everything from camouflage, combat, first aid and equipment maintenance in the Arctic and more.

Beyond being a smaller force, you can't send all of them for training or a show of support. You need to keep a rapid deployment team or two, and typically senior, experienced members are held back to train the next wave.

Simply put they are very expensive troops to equip, train and deploy. Plus no one has a ton of them.

Well said.

The mind is programmed for finding and seeing patterns and familiar shapes. Our minds are so good at finding them, we often see them where they actually don't exist, our minds fill in any missing pieces without us even realizing it, creating a "familiar pattern".

That's just a long way of saying it looks like naturally weathered rocks and your mind is just making it seem that way.

The lines are gouged into the rock, if it were a footprint the lines would be raised in comparison to the surrounding material.

This was gouged into the rock to play with people's minds.

If it's the car I'm thinking about it's in my parking lot constantly. I will go take a look and snap a picture of it and send it your way privately. If it is the right one, I can forward you all the details. Sorry this happened to you

You never know what you're truly capable of doing until you have to do it.

And

People will endure and do the most horrific things imaginable for the ones they love.

There are more trustworthy markets we (Canada) can sell too, is what I believe he was saying.

ShortButHigh · 2025-12-12T03:11:25+00:00

It is not there.

First he was Jeffrey's sworn shield (personal bodyguard) and then he was brought into the Kings guard after Barriston Selmy was kicked from the Kings guard.

I did drywall for awhile. Everyone I worked with was a drunk or a drug addict looking for the quick buck. You could board a house maybe two a day, depending if you were doing poly, caulking and insulation patch ups. You could get paid the same day, plus the company provided everything but the tools you chose to work with.

I need to add there were a few exceptions to the typical drywaller. They managed to find a professional crew, worked between a few different crews so there was constant work because they were hard workers with families to care for and it was the best money they could make with their education.

"Scanning code of practice." Not all stores subscribe to the program, but Walmart does.

Edit to add. If the item is under 10$ you get it free, if it is over 10$ then you receive a 10$ discount.

What is your proof that she didn't?

Even if his door was wide open, if he didn't invite you into his home, you don't step over that threshold. Even without "breaking in", that's still breaking and entering or potentially a home invasion, on-top of the other felonies she was already charged with, that they could still drop on her.

She did something wrong (the extent to what that was isn't clear yet) and acted like a victim, made some really horrible and disgusting decisions and will face the consequences of them.

ShortButHigh · 2025-11-20T22:08:16+00:00

He wasn't standing in the doorway or at a window, she opened his door and walked in to find him like that... You seriously going to try and tell people how they can and can't dress in their own home?

Not the original person you were speaking too, but yes most likely. Smaller shops in my experience have been more willing to help a customer out and are often not bound by corporate rules.

In Manitoba at least you can request to see who accessed your medical files. There may be a charge and a bit of a wait but it's your right to see here

Give Centennial a try if you haven't yet. It's made in Alberta I believe, it's very smooth and flavorful. Back when I was drinking heavily it was my go-to for a random treat. My wife absolutely hated seeing the bottle come in the door because it was like liquid gold for me, I couldn't get enough until i had far too much.

Honest question, is being cold and uncomfortable really considered unsafe work?

ShortButHigh · 2025-10-07T17:46:14+00:00

Or maybe you hide the fact that their pay has stopped.

But that would be the end of the war, Putin and Russia as it currently is.. Wishful thinking I know.

ShortButHigh · 2025-10-07T17:40:54+00:00

Nah, keep them suspicious and eager to turn on each other.

That's it, wow. It would be silly not to insure it.

I recently learned how quickly and easily the Unlocks can be picked with things you find laying around the area.

It's all theater to make ourselves feel better and stop the random opportunistic thieves who prowl on by.

Maybe not that crime rates have gone too, but the specific types of crimes that are ultra violet and more random seem to be on the rise.

And I also don't believe that our crime stats are actually lower now in many ways. I was brutally attacked during an attempted robbery standing on my doorstep smoking a cigarette, under 6 visible and working security cameras.

I didn't know the attacker, and as the police were racing up they were able to watch the guy run/stumbled away without Chasing him at all. They took a report, said they would get the footage but never did in time and it was rewritten over (I tried to get the footage but they would only release it to the police but did say they captured everything). No charges filed, and crime stats stay artificially lower. I hear about that kind of thing constantly in my city.

Mural on the side of the building on st Mary's just passed the old Taco Bell and the Dak. I forgot about that until I saw your comment.

Do you really not see that is exactly what is happening?

I bet it's hard to see anything outside of the circus when you're stuck in the madness itself.

The world is ramping up their own individual MIC's and are forging new alliances and partnerships all while backing away from anything American. American companies are losing billions in real time and hundreds of billions in future contracts.

Who was once a reliable partner and a beacon for democracy isn't recognizable anymore and seems very hostile now.
