    I think cannibalism is literally one of the most deeply held human mores. Across virtually every culture and society. So no, I don’t think humans that consume human flesh by necessity discuss it in direct terms. Also, it would have spoiled the plot. also, they were also talking about actual game as well.

    Hence the term “code” there was no other game in that barn. Kinda spoils the episode if in the first 5 minutes they ask how much human flesh they have remaining.
  3. Bateshorn
    Given the bodies in the barn, I think "Game meat" was code for any meat, including humans.

    Este. Starting around Halloween in Maine, the soil can not be dug without earth movers until Mid May, when mud season starts.

    From a funding perspective: Scrapping has a cost as well. Often DOD decides to store rather than scrap because it may be cheaper, or their is an environmental reason: Asbestos or other toxic materials, etc. We may be doing a "store it, and we will deal with it later," knowing we probably won't because the money isn't there. If you've ever gone through Philly and seen all those Navy ships in storage, most have been stricken, but some are inactive. The Navy is never going to reactivate them, but it costs a fortune to scrap and clean up those ships, so basically the rot until their about to sink, then the Navy will deal with them.

    Hating on Prince is the equivalent of saying you’ve seen hotter than Elizabeth Hurley on campus. No, you haven’t.

    That one song they had about religion kinda slaps. It’s got a good bass/rhythm line. But the rest of their stuff is exceptional boring. Here’s mine: Jason Isbell hasn’t been good for awhile. There’s a few good songs on That Nashville Sound. But since then, pretty meh. His cover of Driver 8 is legit bad.

    Give it time, we will see an orc wearing a colander at some point.

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

    It was this scene. You’ll see it when you see it. The guy borderline out shown Tom Hanks. RIP to a dude who burned out, rather than fade away. He brought all of us a lot of joy in movies.

    I’m going to put this down to died of hard living.

    Kinda starting to look like Dan Snyder might be looking at wire or bank fraud. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35726691/former-partners-say-dan-snyder-used-team-fund-lifestyle-took-improper-loan-their-approval?platform=amp

    EH and Hugh Grant are both dirty whores. She had an anchor baby with Steven Bing on a one night stand, and he’s got a couple of baby mommas. They are apparently best friends, I think she’s like a godmother and even helped raise one of his kids.

    He said that Bill Clinton fucked her (no CR). Which he quickly retracted, but I think most people believed him.

    This one will hurt. He was in several of the best action films of the last 30 years and was often the glue that held an ensemble cast together. He just had a natural ease for action acting. There’s a moment in Saving Private Ryan on the beach where he takes out a dip in the course of a scene transition. It’s such a little movement, but it was so natural and easy. Just a bit of umami, so to speak, that makes the shot . For me, the action is the juice.

    Listening to titty babies cry about the pitch clock makes me realize how few people have regularly attended a minor league game in recent years.

    this, I worked one summer in a cubicle farm and I got some chuckles out of the strip, but in general, Office Space did it better, and Dilbert gets old pretty quick. It was certainly no Calvin and Hobbes.

    I read it. The error is an error, but the signature page 2 is wrong. Basically, they said “ DOT’s NTSB. “ they should have said “NTSB” It’s more or less a proof reading mistake. Buttigieg is kinda being that grammer guy in the internet.

    Staff should have known better. But that letter is weird, because it’s signed by Jim Jordan, who is not the chair (James Comer is the OGR Chair). Here’s a full oversight letter I found on line (I’ll admit I haven’t read it in detail. I don’t do transportation stuff for a living) https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2023-02-24-Letter-DOT-Norfolk-Southern-Derailment.pdf

    I liked it, I didn’t love it. Agree that Colman is masterful, but the movie is a touch uneven. It’s nothing like the trailer. I tried The Fablemans the other night and turned it off after about 25 minutes. It failed to hook me, and Michelle Williams is just creepy.

    Surly stahp.

    When they talk about bullet magnets in Black Hawk Down, that is the Russian version.
  23. Bateshorn
    The “quantity has a quality all its own” worked for Russia, exactly once: WW2. And that’s partially (mostly) because we were supplying them with the materials they needed beyond humans to make it work. Plus we destroyed the Nazis oil sources in Romania. Had the German’s not elected to try and fight and win a 2 front war after D-Day and invest his reserves in the Bulge, started quiet negotiations with the West, and instead focused on the Eastern Front, I’m not sure the Russians get across the Oder before we capture most of Germany and Berlin. Basically it was a one off that needed everything to come together to be successful.

    Yeah, modern Tankies are not classic Tankies. I suspect that if say, Nikki Haley won the presidency, and continued support for Ukraine, you’d see some left wing MOC, like Jayapal or Ro Khanna suddenly start talking about the need to negotiate.

    One of the very clever things this Administration is doing is remaking the Ukrainian military into our military’s image. Just Like the Poles. This makes it very hard for certain elements (no CR) to walk away from Ukraine because there are jobs in their congressional districts that are now dependent on our continued support for Ukraine. And that means getting the Ukrainians on board with our SOP. And that likely doesn’t involve use of old, warehoused cluster munitions that probably are only still in existence because the Pentagon doesn’t have the cash to do safe and proper disposal (I.e. not burnpits).
