Over the last 7 months the US has withdrawn almost a million rounds of 155mm artillery ammo from the Israel based stockpile for delivery to Ukraine. With Israeli permission that was quickly granted without strings.
(an additional 300,000+ rounds of 155mm ammo were withdrawn from the South Korea based stockpile for Ukraine)
So...
Every time that you see that "Israel isn't helping" story know that its a cover story to protect Israel from Russia...
TIL that some website authors refer to the three-line menu icon as "the hamburger button." That name does not make it clearer to me!

interesting how "if we meet people's basic needs, they'll stop working!" and "billionaires are hard workers" can co-exist in people's minds...
Annoyed by links to exciting headlines that turn out to be ho-hum clickbait? Frustrated by links to paywalled articles with no gift article option?

I just saw Cosonauts disagree, get angry, agree to disagree, and bury the hatchet. That wouldn't happen too often on other sites.
Different case, but similar situation

Luxembourg arrives at the NATO summit in Vilnius.
The photos from the arrival of FM Asselborn and PM Bettel shows a big red skull on the plane used by peaceful little Luxembourg.
It turns out they chartered a plane also used by the band Depeche Mode on tour.
If children are abused by a veteran parent with a service-related psychological problem, they should also be eligible for psych support through the VA.

Well, I got an unexpected message from our daughter's ex first love. His family were supporters of #TFG and had some strong anti-vaxers at the same family holiday parties we went to. They weren't quiet about it. We never treated him or them differently. I even got high with his dad and others. We were with them riding the dunes at #CampTrump
I think our open heartedness paid off in the ex's message below. I share because I say the answer is always LOVE.
