    @Doctor-Phibes said in Jon, I've got your information.: @Jolly said in Jon, I've got your information.: @Doctor-Phibes said in Jon, I've got your information.: Jolly used to post a warning in the thread title when he posted one of these imbecilic articles, presumably as a favour to me, as I had repeatedly expressed my opinions regarding their nonsensical right wing bullshit masquerading as thought-provoking discussion topics. The countless minutes I've wasted reading this stuff is time I'll never get back, sadly. Well, it's not really countless. Three minutes. Tops. I can go back, if you wish. I really have thought about giving you a series of Daily Mail du jour articles. The Daily Mail articles are generally much more useful to me than The American Thinker's as they do a good job of reminding me why I left Britain in the first place. As a former media delivery executive (paperboy) of longstanding, I probably still have a bit of their newsprint ingrained into my fingers to this day. Like Lady Macbeth, I can never fully remove the stain. If that then be the case, I'd name my dog Spot. For then, thou couldst point at the door with authority and proclaim, Out, damn'd Spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then 'tis time to do't.!

    Best interview... Sean Payton with Rich Eisen two days before the game. When asked who would win the game, Payton said the Eagles. They were the better team. With one caveat... He said the Chiefs had better special teams. Since big games often turn on a great special teams play like a big return, if the Chiefs had a play like that, they could win the game. What happened? Longest punt return in Super Bowl history. Sean Payton - Prophet.

    @89th said in I wonder what the “American Thinker” would say….: Their use of "I love you" is quite important in the response. Without it, and it could be relationship-ending. With it, and you can empathize a bit. Lad, you're out of your rabid-arse mind.

    @George-K said in Soyuz leak: the Progress incident raises doubts about whether Soyuz MS-22 was actually hit by a micrometeorite. I checked to see if any of the current inhabitants were born in Chicago, I was thinking they might have a handgun for personal protection. But all 3 Americans currently on the Station were born in California, unlikely to have guns. I guess the Russians might get drunk on a Saturday night and start shooting.

    @jon-nyc Glad to see that I’m not the only one recognising the indisputable investigative expertise of Giorgio Tsoukolos in these matters.

    @George-K said in Hay Cats! Your "Brush me moar!" post of the day.: @Axtremus said in Hay Cats! Your "Brush me moar!" post of the day.: What kind of bird is that? Isn't it a crow? Looks too small to be a raven. ETA: https://www.birdsadvice.com/crows-vs-ravens/ Still can't tell which. Crow. Up close, ravens are a very different color. Especially under harsh light.

    I wonder what would happen if a fighter jet going around mach 2 ran in/through a large weather balloon? Assuming the engines were not impacted, would it slice right through the balloon so fast that the pilot would barely feel it? Or, would it be like hitting a brick wall? They should try it.

    Perhaps related - I was listening to a guest of Glenn Loury talk about the case - himself a professor of criminology and former cop. He was suspicious why the released video started when it did and not earlier. He was sure the earlier video existed and that it “probably wasn’t withheld because it made the cops look good”. Perhaps the personal connection was made apparent in the earlier part of the video. At any rate the prosecutor will have it.

    Why do they look like they are coming off an all-nighter? Except their clothes are all remarkable clean and neat but rumpled and disheveled at the same time…

    @George-K I do know that that the air and ground search operation in progress was launched out of the Edmonton Garrison yesterday afternoon in conjunction with 418 Squadron based in Comox.

    Third option? Extermination, perhaps?
