2008-2014, I think it had value as a public square where journalists of all stripes really engaged. Now it’s a cesspool. Anyone still hanging out at the nazi bar should really stop and think about the ramifications.

This other thread on chicken inflation kinda bucks this trend but who’s really right?

or maybe they’re growing humongous chickens with teeny tiny bones?

random question: why are tank interiors painted white?

Wasteful but not as bad as golf.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s most recent water use data for Utah shows the state uses about 38 million gallons of water on golf courses per day.

archery

archery doesn’t carry a racist history and waste giant tracts of land. they can putt-putt or get fucked.

We need to figure out ways to reorient China’s ambitions from an impossible ask - Taiwan, the 9-dash-line, and the South China Sea, and point out the obvious low hanging fruit, that wouldn’t require force projection / airborne and naval landings, and a world class navy to oppose literally every other country in the pacific, and invest those resources where they could gain massive ground, repatriate ethnic chinese and repatriate Chinese cities that they were forced to give up and still want back, like Vladivostok. Russia is sick. China is already pushing for greater influence in the -stan countries - the move only requires a will for China to head north, capturing enormous amounts of land, resources and new citizens / customers for it’s industries. And unlike the Pacific, I don’t know that many will want to save them after the last few years… I don’t see Belarus scrambling resources to send to defend Irkutsk.

that’s why it has a dozen anchors on each side of the hull. proper preparation prevents piss poor projectiling.
