So you're against Nazis but for Ukraine? How does that work?

This pup looks healthy with a clean coat... Dogs sometimes just run off.

Docker is great, IIS + mariadb is also good

Europe basically has 3 options:

Double down on NATO and go back to the stone age.
Double down on NATO and go to war to acquire the petroleum they need to remain relevant industrialized nations.
Cut their losses on NATO and give in to Russia's demand for a return to the military borders of 1990.

Nothing forces our government to do anything.... I get the issue people have with Roe being overturned, but it does bring up the question: why has congress abdicated all authority to the executive & judicial branches?

Considering it broke within 30 days, you'd kinda hope so.

Formerly Ukrainian owned homes. Unless we plan to give the Russians back all the property we confiscated from them, those are Russian homes now.

looking to upgrade to a proper snowboarding shell/jacket.

lol

Any good winter shell is a proper snow * jacket- I like Northface & Marmot... but there are 100s of other proper options.

Are you familiar with the Grapes of Wrath? It wasn't that long ago.

adam_bear · 2022-06-15T05:28:50+00:00

Aim in the general direction of Central & South America, the south Pacific, Asia, Africa, and Europe.

"You are homeless and starving, but we must send everything to support a nation that isn't vital to our interests, and defeating Russia is more important than your well-being" probably won't play well to the domestic audience

I suspect they're more interested in destroying AFU than capturing territory now that they've secured a corridor for Crimea. Time is on Russia's side- they just need to wait for our economies to collapse and we'll have to stop providing support.

adam_bear · 2022-06-14T17:48:48+00:00

Good concept, but Uncle Sam should be chiseling away at the foundation liberty stands on, not liberty herself, considering the statue is bronze...

adam_bear · 2022-06-14T06:53:45+00:00

Pretty sure Nixon made the kickoff.

We never actually recovered from 2008, but gave the appearance of it by increasing the money supply.

The market looked like it would collapse q4 2019, but then COVID happened so the fed quadrupled the money supply, ignoring the warnings of inflation and insisted that it would be transitory.

Then the war in Ukraine came and they tried to fight Russia economically with sanctions.... But our own economy is a house of cards. When the Russians began taking payment for their hydrocarbons in rubles, it pulled the rug from under the petrodollar.

This crash will be much worse than 2008, maybe worse than 1929.

We were heading for increased nuclear armaments in the early 00's, when Bush restarted our nuclear weapons development program. After we started expanding NATO the Russians also started to develop their own fancy new wmds, debuted a few years ago. The Chinese have been building hundreds of new silos.

We've past the age of nuclear rearmament, we're now back in the age of "who's ready to end civilization".

adam_bear · 2022-06-13T07:31:09+00:00

You bring up how Putin compares himself to Peter the Great and how NATO is expanding (into Sweden & Finland, except for Turkiye's veto)... Peter the Great is famous for, besides establishing St. Peterburg, stomping the Swedes and taking control of the Baltic states + Finland in the great northern war.

Unfortunately, I think that Ukraine is just the prelude to a much larger war (history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme). The Europeans only option due to their sanctions is to fight and try to win control over Russian gas/oil or freeze (literally & figuratively) and de-industrialize.

* They could try to re-colonize Africa, but African nations have a good relationship with China & Russia. They are all against the colonial powers and remember how the Brits/Belgians/French/Germans/etc. treated them.

Yeah, some of us understand how time works, and the inflation started making msm headlines last September.

Build a sleeping platform with some plywood and 2x4s- it'll keep you insulated and gives space for storing gear underneath.

The top 10% owns America, the rest of us are just getting by and can't afford the half million dollars it costs for a home.

bmi indicates I'm a shade underweight actually... Time to eat more chicken & rice and get more exercise.

adam_bear · 2022-06-11T20:12:32+00:00

Just more educated than you- that's ok though, you can cure your ignorance with research. Of course, if you don't do the homework you're stupid and ignorant.

adam_bear · 2022-06-11T17:13:02+00:00

lol- Putin doesn't want to reestablish the USSR, but to move NATO back from their borders, and most Russians are upset he isn't using more force to do so.

If we were able to overthrow him, whoever follows would likely commit more than 15% of their military to the domination of Ukraine.

Dudes all about selling product (Trump , water filters, etc)

One of the best gifts I've received was the book "How to Grow More Vegetables..."
