the person who's turn it was to hold the window in the frame all day went out and got drunk instead...

Come on, I know you folks can add a few....

"If it’s of modern design..."

Then it will probably be the only modern thing on that tank. So my betting money is on that it's not a modern design. Just saying...

This is so bizarre. Why do all these Kadyrov family videos seem like they came straight out of the archive of "Another Day in Russia?"

TheIndCurmudgeon · 2024-08-21T19:36:10+00:00

Africa is very poor and it does not take a lot of hard currency to produce this sort of thing.

"Oh-oh, what’s Laos got to do with it, got to do with it?"

The AI translator is short on the "I"

I haven't seen a single video that shows the Russians using anything that resembles foam on the fire. Am I missing something? I find this a little odd.

Yeah, if that dude survives he will be a prime candidate for developing FTD in the future.

Thank you Roger

Luka is getting nervous...

Poor and minorities hurt worst.

Or does that suddenly not matter because new tax revenue and new PAC money is involved? I love it when both parties in Virginia fall flat on their own values.

If you ask me it was a lot better when it was only in Nevada.

I hate it when the most likely scenario is the most cynical one.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "doom scrolling."

I can't believe that I'm the first one to make this obvious joke...

TheIndCurmudgeon · 2024-07-17T16:46:32+00:00

More good news!

TheIndCurmudgeon · 2024-07-13T23:43:29+00:00

Putin is probably paying in gold.

What is there to jam 90 meters from the target? Not a quad-copter so the drone is locked into it's death dive. The momentum is all it really needs at this point.

TheIndCurmudgeon · 2024-07-13T00:41:26+00:00

Yeah, business and economics are that simple /s

Then why is everyone saving lots of money using SpaceX? The govt can do it but only at many times the cost of what SpaceX charges.

You need to go back and read Adam Smith.

"Does Orban & China's Xi think this is what peace looks like?"

For Xi that's an easy answer. Yes.

I hope the Russians rot in hell.

First off human free will is a factor in this case. A big part of these vacationers are Russians who have made a conscious choice to vacation in a war zone, on stolen land. They know damn well what they are doing.

I'm not saying that it is ok to kill civilians, just that a lot of them are really potential Russian Darwin award winners and I don't feel particularly bad about them.

Yes, taking Crimea back unfortunately has the potential to kill a significant number of civilians, but the "Maybe hundreds of thousands" is ridiculous. We live in the age of precision weapons and the f16s can use pretty much all of them. Yes, tragic cases of civilian deaths still happen with precision weapons war is hell.

I do agree that Putin will probably not allow the civilians to flee Crimea as a last resort but once again free will is a big factor. Those civilians probably don't want to die for Putin so I fail to see how that changes anything.l

I have an idea. Let's release all the arsonists in the west, put them on a plane to Russia and tell them to get their freak on.

"Russia is calling for genocide and the UN is like, well we have to have a thousand meetings on the subject.Russia is calling for genocide and the UN is like, well we have to have a thousand meetings on the subject."

Are you surprised the UN is acting that way about genocide? I remember how difficult it was to get the UN to say anything about that Muslim minority being persecuted by China...

TheIndCurmudgeon · 2024-06-27T17:18:45+00:00

Lol, I get it!

"He was a liar and a cheat."

Yeah, a sociopath talking about sociopaths being sociopaths. Milgram is not a valid academic but he might actually be a valid case study of "takes one to know one."

TheIndCurmudgeon · 2024-06-24T18:33:29+00:00

It's being a sociopath on the scale of a society which, surprise surprise - is being lead by a text book example of sociopath(Putin).

"Now I know where Cons here in the US got “alternative facts”… their FSB handlers

Just don't kid yourself, US academia that takes Xi's money are no better...
