  1. The newish inverter models are pricier, but use substantially less power. Using one of those would free up some generator capacity for other devices.
  2. This is true, but it only enhances behavior the Russian orcs would be doing anyway. Units were brought in specifically because they have, and will continue to, commit the worst atrocities they can think of. Russia is a war crimes nation. Their history is riddled with rampant crimes against humanity. Crimes against humanity are a feature, not a bug. Their warfare is stuck on Mongol Horde mode, minus all the competence.
  3. I can't find it online, but the some of the random Walgreens I checked have it. In stock at Walgreens 4501 GUADALUPE ST, AUSTIN, TX 78751. Also found it in Houston, but not Dallas. It's $40 though. Looks like everyone else is out and the manufacturer has a blurb about it on their website. Only thing I see online is the toddler formulation from Target, delivered in 7 days. https://www.target.com/p/enfamil-nutramigen-hypoallergenic-powder-toddler-formula-12-6oz/-/A-14698865#lnk=sametab
  4. And none in the west, so they are getting wildfires very early this year.
  5. I just ran some random zip codes through Walmart and it looks like there is high variability, but most places have at least 4 options available in-store. It will let me put 5 in the cart. Brooklyn was the only place out of everything. Burbank had 1 option. Spoilered some screen shots below if you're curious.
  6. Definitely given it's location, right off the coast of Romania. However, this is even stupider shit than usual by Russia. They already have most of the world against them, now they are going to add a global famine on top of things they will be correctly blamed for. At some point, the world is going to realize that a lot of this can be stopped by a simple vote to remove Russia from the UN Security Council. There was never a vote authorizing them to take the USSR's seat. In typical Russian fashion, they just took it. Give that seat to Ukraine instead, or just get rid of it. Now the UN is no longer deadlocked and the world can get serious about coordinated punishments.
  7. I think Brisket mentioned it upthread, but they might also check stores in lower income areas. They're more likely to have stuff when people start hoarding, since their clientele can't afford to buy up the whole stock and hoard it. Just make sure and be reasonable, so there is still stuff left for paycheck to paycheck people that need it. We had good luck with that for other staples at the start of the pandemic. If in a huge pinch, this toddler version of vitamin fortified dry whole milk is probably preferable to regular milk. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nestle-NIDO-Kinder-1-Toddler-Powdered-Milk-Beverage-56-4-Oz-3-52-LB-Canister-Shelf-Stable-Toddler-Drink-3-52-lb/10804304 Can't vouch for the toddler formula personally, but the 4+ version is actually pretty tasty, much better than non-fat dry. I frequently use it for baking/cooking.
  8. May not be your preferred brand, but it looks like Walmart in Austin has 9 options currently in stock. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Similac-Advance-Powder-Baby-Formula-12-4-oz-Can/14018005?fulfillmentIntent=In-store&athbdg=L1600 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gerber-Good-Start-GentlePro-Non-GMO-Powder-Infant-Formula-with-Iron-12-7-oz-Canister/14662909?fulfillmentIntent=In-store https://www.walmart.com/ip/Similac-Alimentum-with-2-FL-HMO-Ready-to-Feed-Baby-Formula-32-oz-Bottle/19477013?fulfillmentIntent=In-store https://www.walmart.com/ip/Similac-Advance-Liquid-Toddler-Formula-13-oz-Can/14018027?fulfillmentIntent=In-store https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gerber-Good-Start-GentlePro-Non-GMO-Powder-Infant-Formula-32-oz-Canister/220464834?fulfillmentIntent=In-store https://www.walmart.com/ip/Similac-360-Total-Care-Infant-Formula-Ready-to-Feed-8-fl-oz-Case-of-6/503786377?fulfillmentIntent=In-store&athbdg=L1600 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Earth-s-Best-Organic-Gentle-Easy-To-Digest-Milk-Based-Infant-Formula-with-Iron-21-oz-Can/300358900?fulfillmentIntent=In-store https://www.walmart.com/ip/Similac-Soy-Isomil-Lactose-Free-Liquid-Baby-Formula-13-oz-Can/14018035?fulfillmentIntent=In-store https://www.walmart.com/ip/Similac-Isomil-Lactose-Free-Liquid-Baby-Formula-32-oz-Bottle/14018036?fulfillmentIntent=In-store
  9. Gerasimov was absent from the May 9th parade. Oleksiy Arestovych says preliminary info suggests Gerasimov has been sacked. Whoever they replace him with is likely a big downgrade. Gerasimov is relatively competent. Fingers crossed. Arestovych's info is usually pretty reliable. Also rumors the Commander of the Black Sea Fleet sacked and arrested, as well as 3 more generals. A lot of Russian officers should be extremely nervous. We're at the point in musical chairs when they start removing 5-6 chairs at a time. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/putin-russian-military-gerasimov-ukraine-b2077884.html?
  10. All the guys firing the missile...
  11. Our treatment of Native Americans has been, and continues to be, horrid. So here's the deal... We're going to take your land and give you a much smaller amount of this shitty desert land in exchange, so long as that shitty desert land never turns out to have gold, oil, or anything else valuable. We'll sign treaties with you, but reserve the right to completely change our mind without notice. We'll take your kids, abuse a bunch, kill some, and send you back the damaged husks. We'll desecrate your graves and then make scary movies about it. We all understand that every scrap of occupied Earth was taken from someone else by force, usually many times throughout history. All but the first Native Americans to arrive in North America took their land from someone else. That is all true, but it doesn't exonerate what we did. We can't change what was done in our name in the past. We can change how we act going forward and we should try as hard as we can to make it as right as we can for them.
  12. Cassowary all the way. They are the Texas Longhorns of bird toe claws. They launch and kick, sweeping down, attempting to disembowel the target.

    First of all, fuck you for using the word retarded as a bigoted slur. This is a University of Texas board, we have higher standards than that. Second, the law specifically mentions intent three times. Take it up with Congress. Third, the idea of intent is inherent in most criminal cases in our criminal justice system. Mens rea, look it up and learn something. Fourth, all Americans already know this, at least from watching TV, showing you to be an unbelievably low effort, stupid and/or poorly informed troll. Edited to add that literally no one on this board believes you are pro-choice. Either become a better liar, or save yourself the keystrokes next time.
  14. Change it back to a talking filibuster and make them stand up there and show the rest of the country who they are. The current rule is stupid and it's killing the country. Make them defend this shit publicly for days, read Green Eggs and Ham, or else shut the fuck up, so the rest of us can move on with living in the 21st century.
  15. Not sure about that last one. At least an artillery blast is over quickly.

    So your contention is that all protests near any federal courthouse, including the Supreme Court, are illegal? This statute doesn't distinguish houses from courthouses. Setting aside that this would be blatantly unconstitutional, there is no Oxford comma in front of the clause you are citing, despite the Oxford comma being used throughout the remainder of the text. The clause you are citing is dependent on the "with such intent" clause in front and isn't intended to be a stand-alone clause forbidding all protests near all federal courthouses. That would be a ludicrous take. There was no intent to interfere with, obstruct, impede, or influence any judge. You don't have to like it, but it was legal.

    Or"? Catchall for this? Do you not know the definition of the word "or"? Or means they would have to have done at least one of those things, but they didn't do any of them. The post I responded to had nothing to do with whether it was wrong. It's quoted right there at the top of the screen if you'd like to re-read it. You said the neighbors could be prosecuted, because this is against the law.

    Nope. They didn't interfere with, obstruct, or impede the administration of justice and literally no one believes this will influence Kavanaugh to be more favorable to the protestor's side.
  19. Jokes on the west. That yacht needed the 30K mile maintenance still. Hahahaha suckers. Putin remains a master strategist.
  20. Almost certainly won't be any. Who the fuck knows what their reproductive systems are like? They aren't stupid enough to broadcast it to the galaxy.
  21. It is stupid as fuck to actively try to contact other species. We should be listening, but not overtly broadcasting our existence, technological capabilities and location. The Universe is over 13 billion years old. Human civilization is only ~10,000 years old and we figured out most everything we know in the last sliver of it. Any other civilization we contact is almost certainly going to be much older and have had considerably more time to advance technologically. There's no guarantee they'd even see us as sentient.
  22. It's not supposed to, but the GQP is playing Calvinball. It works however they say it does.
  23. Sorry if posted. We've seen many of the Russian tanks launching their turrets for distance and seen descriptions that the problem is their ammunition in a circle around the turret. Here's a cool graphic that shows the problem. The Russian tank commander and gunner sit on top of the ammunition. A shot through the armor here and they are going for a short trip to space. The driver is in position to be decapitated. Knock out the tank, you've knocked out the crew permanently as well.
  24. ^This. It will be GRUHorn when he switches to the next sock account. His severe lack of intellect and perspective shines through like a beacon.
