  1. sue for what? Dominion has a case because they feel they can prove Fox deliberately slandered them for financial gain. Mcgregor can't be sued for being an idiot. If he could we'd all be in a lot of trouble.
  2. well as we are seeing from the Dominion case - saying something and actually believing it are two very different things. Maybe this is as good as the "Col" can do career wise. After all somebody has to be the village idiot.
  3. and what is an integral part of shopping malls and Apt buildings..? C'mon you know you want to say it.
  4. Mass Backstabbing Spree Over Putin’s War Sweeps Russia (yahoo.com)
  5. I saw this too and it left me confused. We are clearly seeing signs the recruitment process is falling short in terms of maintaining both quality and quantity. At the same time the shortage of artillery is becoming more pronounced. Russia is starting to field T62s and T80Bs. Exactly how are they rebuilding to be a threat? I get this sense that the nations that border Russia see this as an opportunity to just completely bury Russia, so it has no capability to threaten for at least a couple generations. Not a bad plan to be honest.
  6. poor Lavrov. You know he'd like to threaten but it just doesn't carry the same weight anymore. Russia cautions regional allies against aligning with the United States (yahoo.com)
  7. Ukraine's Offensive Guard newcomers to train for 2-4 months (yahoo.com) Don't they know training should only take 2-4 days?
  8. true, but the top building is brand new, not a 40 year old building with serious neglect issues. I have more if we want to establish a pattern 53 dead in China building collapse as rescue effort ends (nbcnews.com) point is I have seen enough in China to know that while Russia has more serious issues with corruption and corner cutting, so does China. Don't get me started on India - I'll try to keep focused on the subject of China support for Russia. squirrel.
  9. mmm count me as one of those skeptical of China's prowess. Yeah they can create a slave factory to make iPhones but they also build stuff like this.... This is not an Escher drawing, that building is now horizontal.
  10. that used to be true, but ever since BF started using the installer process it is no longer an issue. The only time this might be a consideration is if you have severe limitations in your data plan. As it is now whenever they update I just DL the installer and I'm good to go. I also save a copy of that installer in the event I want to do multiple installs to for example run a campaign with a specific set of mods for a specific unit organization. Also with the full installer if you purchase a module you just use an activation key. The installer already includes all the modules.
  11. little did I know what I would cause by bringing up squirrel meat.
  12. Ireland is an... wait for it... Island. It has.. wait for it... a coast. Drunken Irish Mussels in Guinness Sauce | McCallum's Shamrock Patch (themccallumsshamrockpatch.com) Irish Seafood Chowder - a traditional creamy Irish seafood soup with bits! (recipesformen.com) Irish Roasted Salmon Recipe - Food.com St Patrick's day is coming - eat something other than corned beef and cabbage. that is an american thing. The Origins and History of Corned Beef and Cabbage (hvmag.com) Corned beef and cabbage’s popularity took shape during Irish immigration to the United States. Pork was the preferred meat in Ireland since it was cheap — if you’ve ever been to an Irish diner you’ve most likely seen Irish bacon on the menu. In Ireland, the high price of cattle meant the animals weren’t slaughtered for food unless they were old or injured; they were too important for milk and dairy production and farming. In contrast, beef was inexpensive in the United States. When the Irish immigrated to the U.S., they often faced discrimination and lived in slums alongside Jewish and Italian groups. It was at Jewish delis and lunch carts that the Irish experienced corned beef and noticed its similarity to Irish bacon. Cooking the corned beef with cabbage was another choice based on cost efficiency. Even better, the entire meal could be cooked in one pot, making it cheap, easy to prepare, and, let’s not forget, — tasty.

  14. Lithuania foreign minister on Amanpour now discussing how do the Baltics view Russia and how the west is just beginning to understand. 'When we see Bucha and Irpin, we think about our cities,' says Lithuanian FM | CNN
  15. Russian state TV host claims Ukraine's allies are reduced to eating squirrels because they are spending all their money on military aid (yahoo.com) mmmm sguirrel. Somehow this doesn't sound like a good propaganda move. If your contention is the west will tire of supporting Ukraine but then say they'll eat squirrel in order to keep providing weapons....
  16. They haven't even suggested that is a smoking gun. There is nothing more about that company other than it is owned by Ukrainians. Considering nothing more is said about them it seems the perpetrators used them as a service to rent the yacht. They then returned it leaving clear evidence of explosives. Honestly it sounds like a really crappily run false flag. Hell google Germany yacht rentals. You'll find a ton of options. Renting in Poland through a UKR owned company? yeah sure. Freakin amateur hour. Granted there could be more evidence that hasn't been leaked but so far.... I'm still leaning to another crappy FSB job. I mean jeez how many garbage ops do they have to run before we stop expecting them to be decent smart operators. Remember the Skirpal poisonings where they couldn't even dispose of the poison correctly? and how could we forget "the Sims" Russia's Spy Agency Mocked After 'Sims 3' Games Spotted in Video (businessinsider.com)
  17. The Eagles were playing away that week vs Wash so Elvis has no alibi.
  18. what is really weird to me is the parallels to an incident in Larry Bond's book "Cauldron". Agents blow up an LNG tanker in Polish waters. Only those dudes were French.
  19. well right away the whole thing is fishy. 1 The perpetrators used fake passports, they have no idea who they were 2. correction The boat was rented by a company supposedly owned by Ukrainians, however from the article there is no suggestion of their involvement or even if the registration of that company is authentic I am a little confused about who rented it. The company or the individuals? They also do not mention the nationality on the fake passports. I can't see anything in the article that supports the contention this was a UKR action or even Ukr nationals. If anything, it looks like an intentional move to point the finger at Ukr nationals simply because they rented a boat from them. Smells really fishy to me and the ONLY folks who gain from pointing the finger at Ukraine are.... Russia. Then it follows with So the only real news is they think they know the boat used and the number of perpetrators and their make up. Other than that... nothing. There isn't even anything suggesting the company renting it is a suspect. Weirdly they also list everyone's occupation/role but based on what, the previously mentioned fake identification?
  20. would you confirm what the fresh new findings were as I didn't see any, just a lot of hypothetical talking by "sources".
  21. It was the darn Swiss. They are pissed that Toblerone is moving to Slovakia. Once again we are down the rabbit hole because someone said something with no actual factual data. weeeeeee!
  22. it's true! 1 to 1. 1 squad for 1 soldier.
