Anti-tank weapons. Now.

Armor has to have infantry in an urban setting, to keep the unfriendly folks from lighting them up from shoot down positions. If the Ukranians can keep the Russian infantry pinned down, and they have enough anti-tank weapons (and know how to use them), they can make a city a very nasty place, indeed...

My understanding is that Germany is sending Javelins into Ukraine.

I thought Trump sent them thousands a few years back?

Are they talents manpower?

What?

Funny how you can work with folks for awhile and not know some interesting things about them..

I'm usually the one providing those stories for others. 😞

It's different when you are fighting for your home soil.

Depends on the penis...

I'm about 10 years away on that one.

[The actual maximum number of points in the plane that can always be covered by disjoint unit disks is not known; embarrassingly, the best results currently are that 12 points are always coverable and 42 are not.]

Did they provide any references with regard to those results? I'd like to peek at the proof strategy.

Would it fit through a cloth mask?

The way my wife knits, probably.

Got me. Most of the Gulf stuff that I'm familiar with is too far away.

If you were coming down from Chatanooga or from Virginia, I'd hit Cumberland Island.
If you haven't been there, put it on your bucket list.

Well, they can't hoe a row, so they get no vote.

Actually according to this, 2020 was the first time in 70 years that the US exported more than it imported

Imports peaked in 2005. I think the republicans were in power?

But this is a government website so maybe it’s suspect

No, it's correct. And it's what I said - 2 years ago we exported more oil than we importef.

Great Pyrenees. Wonderful dogs.

I admire a working dog. You raise a GP from a puppy with a herd of goats or sheep, and I guess they think they are part of the flock. They stay with them all of the time, even sleeping with them. You don't have to worry about coyotes, bobcats or any other problems, the dog will take care of that.

Worth their weight in gold.

Also in that thread...

For me, it was a rare event. But certainly worth the effort.

Ok… Didn’t know. Journo?
