    What do you mean "your" wife? Isn't that everybody's? PoP means % of likelihood that it'll rain at least .01 on you for the forecast period. It also means that % of the forecast area that it is expected to rain, i.e. 40% Austin rain chance means that it's definitely gonna rain at least .01" in 40% of the area the NWS puts Austin in. In other words, no one knows anything.

    Something like this: Discuss and get back to me. Be sure to show your work.

    Holy shit, it's Gozer the Gozarian! Back again!

    With apologies to Shady Ray, and as a novice speaker myself, I've heard the best description of German as the perfect language to know and utter when you're taking a painful, gassy toilet shit.

    My guess is those aren't the Ford Raptor F-150 version but more the basic sedan with few features and those tiny hubcaps which only cover the lug nuts.

    I'm hearing increasing number of reports on close and even hand to hand combat around Kiev and other cities, this an article from some French source, not sure how valid but it seems okay. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.france24.com/en/live-news/20220307-hand-to-hand-combat-street-battles-rage-on-kyiv-s-edgeespv=1 Irpin (Ukraine) (AFP) – Street battles and hand-to-hand combat. Ukrainian servicemen and fleeing residents described ferocious fighting on Kyiv's northwestern edge Monday that could soon spread to the besieged capital. ADVERTISING

    Plus the Mongols only had about 600 people and a bunch of yaks.

    Wife's co. (Apple something or other, maybe you've heard of it) is doing 2-for-1 matches for employees. So we did UNICEF (a good charity for kids esp.) and a refugee org. that gives necessities at the Polish and Romanian borders. We're open for using our empty nest to house some refugees, but (fortunately, I think) so many Euros are offering their places (not to mention AirBB) that most of the 3-4 million predicted can easily be absorbed into the continent, and within reasonable distance of returning if/when things get better; probably most won't need to go all the way over to us unless they have family or something. Still, we got plenty of room, and no I'm not offering sanctuary to members of the Ukrainian Synchronized Swim team, Though it's a nice thought.

    Only if it's sternly worded.

    I know people are gonna find this incredibly difficult to believe, but the Russians didn't show up.

    We have a friend who runs a disability center in Kharkiv, who (as if things aren't bad enough) is in the States currently because her father died. She called over and the people there say that if you step outside, you'll be fired at/shot. They're okay in the house, but are running short of supplies. The Russians have allowed one bakery down the street to open and give families one loaf - one - per day. Plus this lady has disabled men (not sure if vets or what) to care for. Tragedy doesn't even cover it. Yeah, I think this "humanitarian" gesture is just an excuse to take target practice to an extent.

    H (translation: I HATE LUTEFISK!!!) He was all in until Putin started serving shitty lunches and bad vodka at the meetings.

    Yup, plus it'll take the Poles a good bit of training to switch over to the F-16's. I would think in terms of a few weeks or longer to be ready to use them. Never mind although the Ukrainians are familiar with MIG's, they have to be re-fitted to proper language etc. I mean, in any event it'll take several weeks to actually use them in combat.

    True, and of course it was a joke. However, most of this junk is moving at least 17-24KPH and if a missile were to hit something before it got up to speed, it could easily rip through one and disable it, if we're being literal here. Yeah chances are probably less than a fraction of one percent, but hey, it could happen!

    This is a good one... donate to World Kitchens (under auspices of TripAdvisor) for hot meals for refugees and they'll match it. https://donate.wck.org/give/394390?m=65460&eatoken=3%3AuMIu94klX4ydCXuhABQCKcV0kIsWTySO7eDdMCE0EBvXyPXjcpUcqC67Q35xEyKkz24uCO9U59H9H4jLhgAXSJSq1uCAJd_nOJCZoYbwsm2iYw&nid=VR.eb86719e-9af1-3134-969f-234aae95afeb.TA_EMAIL_TRV#!/donation/checkout

    This is why you should always have a Piaget watch on your person when traveling.

    Johnny Brown - funny comedian from Laugh-In, Good Times, and a lot more. 84. I just saw this not too long ago, who knew? Pretty cool. RIP, big fella. Edit: UD beat me to it by seconds, but video is still good!
