Sooner or later they're going to figure out I superglued my hand to my head.

US is sending its largest shipment of weapons, $1B to Ukraine. This is for an expected southern counteroffensive. We’ll see just what Russia has left in the tank. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-government-and-politics-d0597183948fb1f1eca99a01180e3bc8

Curriculum shouldn't be decided by educators. It should be decided by people who figured out how to fuck.

Or maybe an EU visit to Taiwan. Show China that it controls neither its first or second largest trading partner. It's democracy versus authoritarianism. Xi Jinping sees the US as who he needs to beat. That ultimately the EU will sit on the sidelines and go along to get along. If EU stands...

Has Russia's carpet bombing of Ukraine been halted? So this is to be the month of Russia's undoing. The month where Russia runs so low on hardware, they just can't fight the conventional fight much longer. I read they are putting together more and more poor impoverished "volunteers" with...

And will we see so much as a windfall tax on these moneygrubbers? It pales in comparison to the economic terrorism capitalism the LNG producers are perpetrating on the EU.

And maximize profit they have. Record profits.

I remember San Diego got it's act together after a water shortage in the mid-nineties. I believe they were reliant on a single source then. They diversified sources, spent $1B on a desalination plant, and provided incentives to rip out lawns. They claim to be good to go until 2045. The precious...

1. There are billions in federal dollars now available for rural broadband. It's happening in my backyard now. *Minimum download speed available is 250 Mbps. 2. Due to supply chain issues caused by the pandemic, tension with China, and Russia being Russia, there is a reshoring/nearshoring of...

. I would guess it’s still fairly loud. On my first ship, my berthing compartment was directly under the forward 5”54 gun mount. On my first WestPac cruise, we picked up a new captain on the way home. Well he just loved to shoot his guns. It’s frickin’ loud. Every day for about two weeks...

Ride a bike. What the hell for? Make Maria ride the bike and her husband, Eduardo chase her around with a stick. Great Trump family fun.

Andrew Yang (UBI and Human-Centered Capitalism) and Rank-Choice Voting? May be too foreign for your average voter that doesn't much want to pay attention to politics. Not Yang. Not Forward. Lotsa people love to think of themselves as middle class, even those of us who ain't. So the Middle Class...

Ya gotta get ‘em while the yellow ribbons and American flags are still plastered to the back of the SUVs. Now they’ll just wait them out until enough of them are dead. Perhaps appropriate some funds when there are so few left most of those funds get returned to the treasury. That fucking...

Agree. It should be treated like a dishonorable discharge/felony. Thinking about Trump and saying "discharge", makes me smile.

Live in cultural isolation at your own peril. It is diversity that enables society to adapt to technological changes and sustain economic growth. A lack of cultural diffusion may work great for production but it does nothing for creativity.

Western manufacturers are reshoring/nearshoring. What Trump has to do with it, I know not. Having reliable supply chains is proving to be more important than having the lowest cost of labor. Having stock on hand to continue manufacturing is proving to be more important than the benefit of “lean...

Reading a nice little story of how the US is getting more LNG to Europe than expected. The United States is on track to blow past Biden’s March commitment of an additional 15 billion cubic meters of LNG for Europe this year but then… I wonder how their profit margin is doing these days?

Sink me, you can be tedious at times. ;)

We are currently witnessing the abysmal state of the Russian military. While I doubt NATO forces are anywhere near such a degraded state, I question whether true assessments can be garnered by the public as to the successfulness of NATO exercises and how they might perform in a fight. And to run...

I don't think they are stopping or delaying anything. I mean, how gullible does a person have to be to trust anything coming out of Moscow? In case you missed it in Reuters: U.S. discussing America-made fighter jets for Ukraine. Maybe the Ukrainians have to promise not to enter Russian airspace. ;)
