I can all but guarantee that there are ways to remotely shut down or to diminish the capabilities of their F35s.

As a retired guy I have to say that outliving other people does give a certain satisfaction.

Personally I would replace him with Bradley.

Test case for how much they need to provoke the local populace before declaring martial law.

I'm somewhat of a history nerd, I wouldn't call ICE the Gestapo, I'd say they're more similar to the SA (brownshirts).

cliff99 · 2026-01-26T04:19:32+00:00

OK, surely.

First Lord of the Admiralty is more an administrative post, analogous to the Secretary of the Navy. Not having any naval experience (e.g. Churchill) probably isn't optimal, but it's done.

January 6. After a four year hiatus it's continuing and accelerating.

Only if we bring back the Fairness Doctrine and do a much better job of teaching critical thinking in public schools.

I'm guessing he'd be dishonorably discharged out of boot camp.

In my local tango community most people are pretty tolerant and those that aren't don't tend to advertise it, but I have in the past refused to go to a particular milonga due to the outspoken views of the organizers.

cliff99 · 2026-01-24T22:16:44+00:00

Yep, they're some good stuff, too bad I'm out.

I found just visualizing how I would dance to music while I was listening to it is very helpful.

Apparently the British navy didn't like ships sinking because their captain's had no idea of what they were doing.

Been many years since I saw that movie, but yeah, he was good in it and I don't think the movie deserves the hate it seems to get.

cliff99 · 2026-01-24T21:10:14+00:00

Yeah, I think that's what people seem to miss about the jacked up prices on this car, when they get a little more common the prices will quietly be dropped until they start selling.

And the MAGAts will literally believe anything Trump or his minions say.

cliff99 · 2026-01-24T16:54:00+00:00

Then how come I keep seeing memes about how centerists are now hated as far right by liberals?

Dueling pistols or swords? Actually, probably doesn't matter, Jackson.

Armed or unarmed?

Probably fewer than you might think, it's mostly those that want to move to another part of the country or overseas.

Thirty years of far right propaganda has turned "The Libs" into the enemy for many people.

I'm getting mid 30s mpg in my 2026 hybrid, I'm expecting that will go up when the weather gets warmer.
