@Improviso said in 90,000 soldiers' names leaked: <sarcasm> Now George... the tweet says 120,000 and your thread title says 90,000. Tsk, tsk. <sarcasm> Actually, it was 120,000. The tweet I posted was a response to this: https://twitter.com/cahlberg/status/1498857035726790656

… iron ore and steel giant Metalloinvest and consumer electronics firm Xiaomi. Metalloinvest sounds like a villain in Superman’s universe. Xiaomi, belief, is a premium smartphone company based in China.

Interesting that Gazprom paid a coupon earlier this week. But Russian local bonds didn’t. Not sure about RF sovereign debt. My guess is it defaults.

@Klaus said in Why can't women understand thermostats?: My favorite part of this issue is in the car. I usually leave the temperature at 21°C (70F) all year round. Winter, everyone is wearing three layers of clothing. It's 21°C in the car. Wife: "Turn up the heating, I'm cold". Summer, everyone is in shorts. It's 21°C in the car. Wife: "It's too hot in here! Put the AC on max!" IIRC, comfort also depends on relative humidity, and it’s drier in the winter which makes people feel colder, and wetter in the summer which makes people feel warmer. Latent heat of vaporization and thermodynamics explain this— drier air causes your body to wick more moisture which cools you down. Wetter air contains more heat which also prevents the cooling effect (depending on temp and relative humidity). Look up adiabetic process, which is what modern HVAC systems use to optimize comfort (which can involve both humidifiers and dehumidifiers). Our skin is one large evaporative cooler /heat exchanger.

Wow! That explains a lot of the patterns we see on the forum, too!

I doubt they have resumed, but over at Mayport (Jacksonville), they used to designate a "ship of the day" and open that ship up to the public for free tours. Your tour guide would be a junior officer from the ship. The ship could be any in port, and if you were lucky, you got the carrier.

Yikes, it's like Grand Rounds. I desperately need to find a place at the back of the group.

@LuFins-Dad said in Bluetooth Headphones?: Earbuds are like shrimp… You tell somebody you don’t like them and you get nonstop recommendations to try them “this way” The bone conduction headphones are neither in nor over the ear.

If you want to see a bunch of pussy men with no testosterone, just take a stroll through WTF. The only ones with any testosterone over there are the feminist females that cuck them.

@Horace said in >60,000,000: I remember an NPR interview several years ago with a TDS suffering climate scientist who said, with a straight and very solemn face, that Trump would go down as history's greatest mass murderer due to his inaction on climate change and the effects that will have on humanity. That is totally unhinged.

@Doctor-Phibes said in For the Geldings to be Fruitful: It's also hard to expect self-sacrifice from people who refuse to get vaccinated or wear a mask Even the epitome of self-sacrifice (seen in this picture) has come around to the no-mask side.

@Copper I knew he caught the side near the corner but now that you mention it…if they had missed I guess they would’ve just crashed into the nearest set of buildings. Wow.

After getting settled into the passenger seat, the hitchhiker thanked the man for the ride, then asked, “but how do you know I’m not a serial killer?” “I’m not worried,” the driver replied. “The chances of two serial killers being in the same car have to be astronomical.”
