  1. How are these hipsters paying for this? Is Thiel or somebody paying for them?
  2. So Ukraine already has a stockpile of them and we'll see it in action this weekend?
  3. The problem with Crimea, besides the fact that the people voted to join Ukraine, is that it's not just about the fabled warm water port for Russia, it's that it controls a massive amount of offshore oil & gas, that Putin probably promised a lot of cronies. It gives Russia too much influence over the Black Sea as well.
  4. Is it because people were mocking the feds/NG and it was all over social media. Or because the feds/NG weren't finding the roving gangs of violent woke LBGTQ atheist Marxist Venezuelans from Iran that we were told were threatening the country?
  5. LOL, there are larger cities in Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, etc with far worse crime problems but Trump ain’t sending the National Guard into them. Ask yourself why. And ask yourself why he did this just as pressure over the Epstein files was mounting.
  6. That's because he's a fucking child with a transactional mentality where everything has a price. Hell, if Ukraine invited him in to invest in some super secret mineral deposits, he'd be shouting about how Europe won't let Ukraine into NATO and it's time they were allowed into NATO. Also, shaming the victims in all of this is completely on brand for him.
  7. Austin. I feel like, at least with Cubs and say kinder-3rd, we have been getting into the kids who weren’t affected by COVID shutdowns and reopenings - a lot of units lost kids who wound up doing other activities, as probably mentioned earlier in this thread. Adding girls helped a lot.
  8. Want to send that to some of my “we are a Christian nation” relatives and talk about how great it was that Elon cut those kids off with Trump’s authority and that maybe said relatives would stop calling us a Christian nation.
  9. How is everybody else doing in terms of pack/troops? We seem to be getting more interest this year in both our pack and troop. Feels like we are back to pre-COVID numbers or better. It seems like this years 6th graders were potentially hit the hardest from what we’ve heard from other units.
  10. Setting the Kremlin on fire would do wonders for Russian morale. I would be watching Julia Davis’s social media like a hawk foe the official Russian talking heads response.
  11. Was reading DCC and started on NPCs, but my kid is reading Pratchett (Discworld)and asked me about The Long Earth. I realized I had not finished the first book. I thought I idid, but checked the date and realized it came out close to when of my kids was about to be born so I must have put it aside. Now I.m going to do the whole series. First book is great.
  12. Damn, the man understood the Russians.
  13. Yeah, way too young.
  14. There's a saying I came up with 2 years ago - you can't unfuck your daughter's cute 39 year-old 2nd grade teacher, and you can't uninvade Ukraine. The difference is that one act was witnessed by 3 employees of the San Antonio Zoo, the other was witnessed by the free world and most Russians. Of course, historically speaking, invading Ukraine has caused problems for dictators in the long run.
  15. It’s gotta be a combination of things. Don’t forget that a lot of the Russian men and their families who opposed being conscripted and who had the means fled Russia, and those are the ones who would have been in the streets fighting a draft. Many of the ones left behind are either okay with it, are poor as shit, or were dumb enough and didn’t think it would happen to them. I’d say these things: Conscription of the Moscow/St. Petersburg group in large enough numbers More infrastructure hit, to the point it seriously impacts all Russians. Oil and gas and electrical. Moscow has to be hit as hard as Kyiv. Put some drones into the Kremlin. That’s a start as far as I’m concerned. Ukraine is slowly accomplishing #2. Right now, your typical Russian doesn’t feel too affected by the war. The Kremlin on fire, rolling blackouts, etc. would put Putin’s public image of being in control to the test.
  16. Rained with sunny skies and now downpour, Central Austin. Crazy winds.
