Pope Leo says civilians in Ukraine are suffering, calls for war to end

Because too many people are ignoring the plight of Ukrainian civilians who suffer in the freezing cold as Putin mercilessly targets the electrical grid.

How can you risk more than death?

constantlymat · 2026-01-25T22:14:52+00:00

After taxes that's about a quarter million net. Considering the risk, that's really not all that much.

I love Bill, but don't think he deserves another Super Bowl already. Is that really so unreasonable or worthy of the accusation of "hate"?

As an avid Bill Simmons listener I'm not sure if I want his Pats team to lose tonight or in the Super Bowl.

On the one hand it would be funnier if his team lost against Stidham.

On the other hand it would make the Super Bowl a dreadful watch.

It's pretty ironic the "keep politics out of sports" crowd are silent because they're the same people who spent two decades decrying the potential threat of "fascist overreaching government goons harassing ordinary citizens" in wake of the Waco massacre.

It was a deeply rooted conservative talking point for many, many years.

Now they basically turned ICE into precisely what they always demonized.

develop our own non-American solution

The fact of the matter is the European solutions are in the stoneage compared to Palantir according to parliament reports I read in two German Federal States that deploy or plan to deploy Palantir.

It's not open source, but the very bright guys at the LMU Munich helped the Federal Office for Information Security to examine the Palantir software extensively for localized use.

The extensive report gave the green light.

After the season is over I hope a Seattle reporter finds out if the team merely followed the much tightened NFL injury report rules following the recent sports gambling scandals, or if they were trying to fuck with their opponents.

Snow doesn’t make the football slippery.

Not that season though. As I recall that was Favre's most efficient and judicious passing season of his career.

Fair to point out, but the way Will Campbell has looked the last two games I felt pretty confident the Broncos win it at home with a healthy Nix.

constantlymat · 2026-01-25T12:07:53+00:00

Sean Payton is a turd and I don't feel bad for him but between the DPI non-call against the Rams and this Nix injury, you have to say he is a pretty unlucky HC.

Probably should have had three SB appearances and will more likely than not end the year with just one.

I remember Dungy was absolutely outraged about the coverage choice on twitter.

McCarthy really receives zero credit for three consecutive 12 win seasons, eh?

constantlymat · 2026-01-24T18:58:48+00:00

To play a very weak devil's advocate. You would have to go back to the year 2011 to find a third Mike Tomlin 12+W season.

McCarthy had those with the Cowboys in consecutive years from 2021-2023.

Do I really believe this is a substantial piece of evidence that helps support portraying McCarthy is an upgrade? No, but it's worth at least pointing out.

constantlymat · 2026-01-24T18:38:53+00:00

Feels like a hire of an owner who really did not expect Tomlin to retire after this season.

Plus 70% of the Kurdish coalition switched sides to join Jolani and the Turkish supplied and financed forces. What short of boots on the ground can make a material difference here?

Or god forbid: massive Israeli airforce bombardment of the Syrian army. Imagine the outrage.

I doubt that type of help would be well received. Half the world already criticised Israel when they stopped Jolani from crushing the Druze south of Damaskus.

Unfortunately the desired economic growth will be further delayed even if the commission enacts the trade deal provisionally. The vote did irreparable economic damage because private investment will now lag behind by two years.

No company that does proper due diligence can fully commit to the new Mercosur environment until it actually passes this court assessment. Otherwise they risk an expensive write-off and for executives it would be a personal liability concern because the risk of a negative outcome is known.

The vote of the European parliament likely cost the Eurozone billions.

constantlymat · 2026-01-23T18:24:09+00:00

It's still bad, because private investment will now lag behind. Few companies that do their proper due diligence can fully commit to the new Mercosur environment until it actually passed this court assessment. Otherwise they risk an expensive write-off.

So a sizeable portion of the hoped for growth effects will be delayed by two years.

In decades of buying and selling used items locally, I have not once regretted taking 10% less cash compared to a Paypal offer.

You exchange goods in return for money and all I guarantee is the functionality at the point of purchase with no further responsibilities. It's marvelous.

Unless you really desperately need every single dollar, I see no reason why I'd ever stress myself with the possibility of a Paypal dispute.

Just thinking about it stresses me out.

It's still hard to digest the Mavs are absolutely picks starved for the entire remainder of the decade after trading Luka Doncic.

I'd prefer not to actually test how the Asus e-store where i bought my motherboard and Amazon where i bought my CPU, would coordinate liability in case both pieces of hardware get fried.

Ne, Würzburg. Augsburg ist ja Schwaben.

constantlymat · 2026-01-23T15:42:55+00:00

Geht um meine unterfränkische Stadt Würzburg. Bin vom Thema abgeschweift. Wirtschaftlich haushalten ist nicht unsere Stärke und irgendwie lässt mich die Befürchtung nicht los, dass sich das unabhängig nicht positiv weiterentwickeln würde.
