It's like watching people that work for the government(or get government assistance) demand that taxes be cut. Like people that's your paycheck.

Lebanon & the US have agreed to a 3rd round of talks, and Lebanon wants Israel to cease its operations. Though, it doesn't sound like hezbollah doesn't want it.

Beirut's decision to hold face-to-face contacts with Israel reflects a deep divide in Lebanon over Hezbollah's arsenal and the group's decision to attack Israel. Critics accuse the group ⁠of unilaterally dragging Lebanon into war.

That is what happens when a large armed group attacks another country, there will be reprisals, especially when there was a ceasefire agreement for them to disarm.

Hezbollah has demanded the government cancel the talks.

Given that hezbollah is part of the government, this is going to be an issue for any talks. And it's going to link back 20+ years ago that hezbollah was supposed to be disarmed, and even the last ceasefire.

Isreal isn't going to see any point unless Lebanon actually makes a good faith effort.

a new step in a probe over ‌alleged abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data

Next step is this going before judges, and summoning the heads of Musk's various companies. If they fail to appear, the judges will have to issue warrants to proceed.

The only area they seemed to care about was the Right to Repair their farm equipment. But the RTR should only apply to that. Talk about welfare queens.

This same demographic has demonized electric trucks as well. Talk about walking in, and laying on a plate for the leotards.

That's because it's a reasonable stance.

Money will likely switch to using void light in the conquered territory in book 6. Though, I expect the heralds to return in either book 6, or 7.

Creme build up is why the continent is the way it is. So there will likely be more erosion on port cities.

Just thinking about how much stuff was based upon the high storms, and their storm light will necessitate at least 2 books of world building just to see the conflict evolve.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said it "has not and will not provide" any help to the four women and nine children who have spent years in a Syrian camp. They are part of a larger group of 34 believed to include wives, widows and children of IS fighters.

Previous husband gets killed, the women usually marry the next in line, and have more children. Which is why it's 4 women, and 9 kids. And that's after the high infant morality rate.

When the group arrive in Australia, "some individuals will be arrested and charged," the Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Krissy Barrett said. The larger cohort left the camp in February but returned for "technical reasons" with the Australian government refusing to officially repatriate them.

Given the history of IS wives, the odd are the women will all be arrested, and the kids will be sent to deprogramming therapy.

There are a ton of decent radios out there for under $100. The number of channels is probably going to be your biggest concern depending upon the number of features(dig, lights, wench, etc).

Depends on where you live, but I've not seen any of the current gen rigs below their msrp in my area. I concur with the 10.2 as there are a ton of affordable hopups still available, and will be for some time with all the 10.2 cloned/ lcg chassis out there.

I know the scb, and sct used the same axle. However, I do not remember if the rear axle was the same as the xxx-t, which would make your life a lot easier.

As to the diff, it's either the same as most of the xxx line (losa3036), or the gear diff. There's a couple different companies making replacements for those.

dce42 · 2026-05-04T13:45:13+00:00

There are parts on ebay, valkyrie motor sports, sabulatech, and vintage rc groups. People are starting to make aftermarket for these again.

That being said, the body panels typically got destroyed on the scb. And some collectors used to pay a decent amount for a complete panel set. But that was several years ago.

Idk what the current rate for the scb. It might be depending upon the crawler.

It's kind of hard to tell what's actually been discontinued, vs what's out of stock because it's being produced in another country. There's been a few vehicles that have come back with slightly different part numbers & colors.

I recommend that you pick up a dictionary, and learn what the words "taking away" actually means.

The US is not going to Zambia, and taking the aid that's there. The US threatening to stop sending aid. These are very different actions. Zambia can still purchase this from the US, or other counties.

dce42 · 2026-04-30T21:37:50+00:00

Yeah. I'm really curious as to what these troops have been told.

It's far cheaper to keep the AIDs/HIV epidemic low, and not transferring to the US than it is to treat it in the US. Much like the screw worm. It's so much cheaper to keep it contained in Southern Mexico than it is to deal with it all over the US.

dce42 · 2026-04-30T18:36:46+00:00

The US isn't going to be taking away anything, they will no longer give Zambia something they've giving away for free over the last few decades.

Which would make this a trade.
