Holy Livin' fuck.

The metric that matters is how many Russian forces join Wagner as they march towards Moscow.
This could be great for Ukr and REALLY bad for everyone else. I just hope the Pentagon has plans to secure the nukes in this scenario.

Here is a video. The motorcade arrives about 45 seconds into the video.

Biden just drove by our neighborhood in San Francisco.

Crazy prediction:
- Trump goes to jail on Federal charges
- Biden won, and offers to pardon him if:
- Pass an amendment that disqualifies felons from holding any office
- Pass an amendment that effectively reduces the quantity of guns

Well, look at this! They are already trying to do it!

I think they are still probing for softness in the front lines.

When they are breaking through aggressively they can use the reserves to shore up their flanks as they penetrate. They may need to do so quickly as the R's defenses could fall catastrophically like in the Kharkiv offensive.

Attacking aligned to the trenchlines is probably a lot easier. It just opens up a lot of new front line to support.

Anyone that values tradition over equity and justice.

Stolen from Ian Bremmer's tweet:

Effects and their Causes

Costs <-- Failures

Failure <-- Problems

Problem <-- Bad Processes or Conditions

Better products and services fix bad processes and bad conditions.

This is why companies buy new and improved goods and services.

Maybe we should regulate sanctimony? 😜

You do know that those are CIA drones, right?

New idea: De-mining, autonomous drones

Drone (probably a rather large one) is fitted with a metal-detecting coil. It is set loose over a battlefield that is probably mined.
Drone runs a pattern over the field and transmits coordinates of where it detected any metal.

Another drone with a more precise metal-detecting coil searches out the hits and gathers more precise data, including photos.

Another drone is dispatched with grenades to hit the mines that are found.

New idea (that could save lives):
Thermite toting, AI-vision drones.
A little drone is programmed to find the barrel of a tank using an off-the shelf machine-vision camera. It inserts a thermite charge into the barrel and it is set off. The thermite melts into the barrel and causes enough damage that it cannot be used. Or, if it is used, will cause a premature explosion of the shell.
It is sent at night, so the MV camera is tuned to infra red.

9 days without alcohol
On a healthy, low calory diet.
Getting over 7 hrs of sleep each night.
9 lbs down.

Feeling really good.

Scary how different this feels from "normal".

Yikes!

I spent all weekend painting things at my shop using a sprayer. Lots of metallic silver/gold. All for the wife's vision of redecorating the living room and bedroom.

Exhausting.

Feels so good to just sit down and type on a keyboard.

Damn, this is both well written and entertaining.
