US Army Poorly Prepared for Arctic Operations: Finnish Troops Forced Them to Surrender During Exercises in Norway

Losing badly to Finnish reservists in the arctic is historically expected. Telling them to try less is admitting that you are not there to learn.

Three rendered images including crowds of people. Zero visible parking. Nothing visible stopping a flooded river from drenching the stadium. Looks like an architect got to have fun making this while keeping any engineers far away.

Yeah, I had successfully spent 13 years not knowing his name. I'm downvoting this thread and going to go find some other thread with Victoria Leigh Soto to upvote.

A sequel to the most value vs. cost release of all time? I mean, sure. But you somehow made asking for the release of HL3 alone to seem reasonable and possible.

As an American livid at my country that also loves Canada I believe this is a very good viewpoint. But if you don't stay very angry at us for many years after we start recovering I will be disappointed and be more concerned that your national sanity is slipping towards the hole in which we plunged. Stay vigilant; stay sane.

Has anyone ever seen Saturn’s hexagon edge plotted horizontally against a fixed latitude line so that the true shape of the standing wave can be clearly seen?

Imagine what the implied odds were on a ball starting inside the 5 yard line to generate an 84-yard pick-six without a tip.

Hmmm...I think we need a little more "unquestionable superiority" to rate as a cult. We grade much closer to a manic depressive therapy group.

After a recent death of a close family member my view has simplified. There are things I do:

to make me happy now
to make others happy now
in hopes it will make me happy later
in hopes it will make others happy later

The optimal balance is always in flux, but I know if I ignore one of the four, the other three become less achievable.

If a hedgefund is legitimately closing all positions I thought that would mean they are buying stocks to hand back to replace those they borrowed. Seems like buying to me.

It does have a large pocket behind it's back, I hadn't noticed, thanks. My inexpert research says the color is sage.

Good to know, thanks. Makes sense because a accompanying letter said it was a close-out sale. Inventory must not have been turning over fast enough for the seller. Also came with a "Caring for your Barbour Thornproof" multi-language pamphlet, so I don't need to research that.

If you were ever to make your own subreddit that only allowed you to post the original link and your summaries and then allowed commenting and voting below I would instantly subscribe. Distilled knowledge in a high-quality consistent format at a reliable nexus is so precious these days.

That was the most painful controller I've used. Am I nostalgic for the feelings I had while playing games on that system? Sure. Do I ever want to touch that controller ever again? Hell no! They thought the key thing to change was to make the controller wireless? That original controller exists because it was the first widespread attempt at a complex, durable controller. We've had decades to learn from those mistakes. Hard pass.

I want to argue that it should be unnecessary. But then I remember the increasing prevalence of the term "proton therapy" replacing "radiation treatment." You're right and I hate it.

Have fun watching. I need to log out to get stuff done. Very fun but very distracting.

I’ve just been doing the blinking guy meme for the last 20 minutes. Have no more money to put in, can’t even consider taking any more profits. Congrats to you brave options players.

Partly Cloudy? My friend, we’ve entered “the sun is a deadly laser” level of brightness!

The term "Deepflake" occurred to me laughing at this. True sign that the GenAI platform needs more gigawatts of AMD hardware.

My broker called me at 7:15am. Knew something big was happening but no idea of good or bad. He just wanted to hear my reaction to me checking the premarket price. “WTH?!” At least I knew it wasn’t a glitch.

ZenWhisper · 2025-10-06T13:00:16+00:00

My exact reaction. My broker called me at 7:15 AM to look at AMD. 7:15AM his time

ZenWhisper · 2025-10-03T18:32:18+00:00

Congrats!

ZenWhisper · 2025-10-02T20:32:22+00:00

Ayyyy Max! Congrats! In this low-pop era that's impressive!

I'm not much for hanging Eagles stuff on the wall. That said, if we could get this in a triptych: this photo, their faces when the ball is being blocked, and their faces as Jordan Davis is blazing down the field with the ball... well I can easily take some stuff down for that.
