  1. Russian tanks are pure shit. I used to believe that the armored conflict in Desert Storm was so lopsided in our favor because our troops enjoyed superior training and night-fighting capabilities. And while I'm sure that's true, it's also true that Russian tanks are pure shit.
  2. I thought skipjack was a type of tuna? Until your post, I've only seen/heard Texas folks call them ladyfish, but I'm in landlocked Idaho, so I know very little. I like to call them "tarpon in training" since they bear a resemblance to silver kings (and are closely related to them, I believe), only much smaller.
  3. Jonesy left the Navy, got a law degree, and went on to become an ADA in NYC. So, unfortunately, the best we can do is this guy: On the bright side, he's got mad Kung-Fu fighting skills.
  4. Best thing about being in Canada is they'll actually serve you a liter o' cola if you order one.
  5. X-post from the Durant thread. In case you missed it, KD had a half for the ages versus Serbia today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWGt3emJ8dA (Worth the click, even if you saw the game. Only 3 minutes, anyway.)

  7. You're not going to enjoy the next 15+ years, Sal.
  8. So in soccer group play, you get 3 points for a win and one point for a draw. There are four teams to a group, and each team in those groups plays three matches, which means one side from each group could achieve a theoretical maximum of 9 total points after group play (3 games x 3 points). However, Canada was docked six points, which means they can, at best, finish with 3 points instead of 9. In most tournaments, that'd be a guaranteed miss. But since there are only 12 teams in the Olympic event and eight of them get to advance to the knockouts, there will be two third-place teams moving on. That gives Canada a decent chance to advance if it wins all three of its games and finishes on 3 points since they'll almost certainly have the best goal differential of any third-place side.
  9. That's awesome. Hope all of them die in prison.
  10. He's in full damage control mode rn. Said it was a time/matchup issue. Then again, if I'm Tatum, I'm sitting/standing next to Kerr, talking in his ear, doing whatever I can to REMIND him that I need to be in the game. https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/40667318
  11. This has been a very impressive showing from the ladies today. Best match I've seen them play in a minute.
  12. Peacock is a bit slow to load or sharpen for me, as well, and I'm in Idaho. Other streaming services I've used are generally much faster, so my guess is it's a Peacock thing, although the issue seems to vary per location.
  13. Well done from Smith there to try and keep her feet ... and well done from the ref for first allowing the play to continue to see if Smith could stay upright and then award the foul and caution the German defender.
  14. The militarized version of the ubiquitous Air Tractor, the OA-1K Sky Warden, has a loiter time of about six hours. And that's with a full combat load, supposedly. Looks like the byproduct of a Pilatus having sex with a Stuka.
  15. Hard to miss that one. Well done, Ms. Smith.
  16. US ladies are cognitively impaired in front of goal. Truly astounding to misfire as often as they do. I support them and want them to win, but when they flub chance after chance ... part of me wants to turn dark and just make fun of them for being so mentally weak and always choking in front of goal. (which is why I fit right in here)
  17. Lmao @ Steph. Ruthless ... but necessary. You love to see it.
