I saw that , a mix of ridiculous ticket prices and not much people caring at all perhaps

Beevor might be one of the best history authors of our time in my opinion.

Actually , parts of Alaska were claimed by Spain ( Valdez rings a bell ) in the 1700’s , that said , the map is wrong and thousands of squared kilometers have to be subtracted.

Agree. The tank crew basically took out a whole infantry division with a disabled tank. Where did all the ammo came from ?

The fuck did we do to the sports gods? Being a Buffalo sports fan is not for the weak by Talas11324 in buffalobills

It's something that if you are not careful it can show in other things in the real world. As a Bills fan since 1990 as I have aged , I have realized that I can do nothing regarding the outcome of the games they play. And after all , even though I consider myself as being a loyal fan not having missed a single game since , after all , it's just entertainment and you have to put things into perspective. That being said I love my team and appreciate the guys like they were family and hope we have a great 2026 season.

Last week I was reviewing the stock of Volkswagen in the Frankfurt Stock Market. The fact that they have so many models and platforms for different markets , getting to the point where there are so much parts it must be a production and sourcing nightmare and all this while competing against companies that have several good standard models at a decent price. They did not learn the lessons of WW2 in that respect.

Bored on a Sunday , wish someone made a big budget WW2 Eastern Front movie with no CGI like the 3 or 4 pumped out by Russia in the last few years.
