  1. This next hurricane season, the only question is how many red states are gonna be fucked by non-existent FEMA Resources. Trump is already whining that states should take care of their own natural disasters. This should work well, as all of those red states are such economic engines, providing so much income to the United States.
  2. it is interesting to go back in time to February 2022 and see what all the extremely well informed and intelligent posters, including myself, said about Ukraine’s chances at the moment of invasion and a day or two after. THAT Russia, the second army in the world, is gone. The Russia that invaded Ukraine is gone. Huge numbers of the most productive, educated and talented Russians left the country. They essentially don’t have a navy anymore. They are out of modern tanks. Even an RPG will take out the T 64s. They are running out of pilots to fly the helicopters and attack jets they still have, and they are all out of armored personnel carriers. It is beyond question that if February 2022, Russia had invaded properly without advancing in long unsupplied columns accompanied by Benny Hill theme song music, we would’ve had a different result. Europe would have a difficult time defending itself from a Russia who attacked confidently with the assets they had in February 2022. Now that those assets are gone, the elite units all dirt napping and making sunflowers - and their ranks replaced by 60-year-old asthmatic drunks - I feel that Europe on its own can surely take care of what Russia has become. The real question is the same one that has always been sitting around pregnant: at what point will they consider using tactical nuclear weapons. Because if they stick with traditional military equipment, just Poland or Finland alone would wreck their shit if they joined Ukraine in its defense.
  3. “Partner”? Shouldn’t that non-married in Jesus‘s Holy Church whore support the Democrats? And I have never seen a bigger DEI scam than all of those women in nursing keeping jobs from the male nurses (who are probably better at it.) I think Elon should look into the over-representation of women in the federal nursing workforce.
  4. The good thing about TurboTax software is that it is so ubiquitous that any problem you have, if you simply google a “how do I < whatever issue > on TurboTax?”, you can quickly find the elusive way to enter the information that their instructions keep from you.
  5. They try to hide the ball on anything that is not a boiler plate W-2 standard deduction type thing. They do this because when you become frustrated, they constantly bombard you to opt for a more expensive plan that has humans involved to help you. Which is why they intentionally make it hard to complete your return. It is their business model.
  6. One of my friends purchased his first house with a mortgage rate at 15%. I purchased my first home when rates had plummeted to 13%. That is one example of the sort of pain that the late 70s /early 80s saw. But I think Donald can get us there.
  7. Questions by a non-O&G guy to you petro brains….this article was posted in one of the Ukraine threads. What are the negative effects of having to cease production on the Russian wellheads and pipelines? If you have to temporarily stop extracting due to market forces (or drones hitting your facility) - what short term and long-term affects will this article’s facts (if true) have on Russia’s oil industry if they don’t have a way to move their product? To be clear, I’m not talking about political ramifications. I’m talking about the technical aspects of the problems Russia may be experiencing because of the inability to ship product- whatever the cause? IOW, is this actually a problem or just a nothing-burger article trying to get clicks?
  8. interesting website. Here we have a “climbing rope” that……breaks when used to…..you know….climb.
  9. Not a good night to be a Wildcat, is it?

  14. “I don’t understand…” would make a really good tombstone quote when she dies from primary ciliary dyskinesia.
