They can have a, pardon the expression, fire sale of lightly-used US military hardware.

@aqua-letifer said in Drinking Problem: @mik said in Drinking Problem: I always said I did not know when the end of the world would be, but I knew where it would start - Los Angeles. A metro area of what now, 15 million? That doesn't have enough water for a million people. I was always amazed at how much automatic watering was done with all that imported water. Pump it in from the sea. It's their only option long-term. The company that has the largest plant in the Western Hemisphere has already put forth a proposal for L.A. The plant: https://www.carlsbaddesal.com/

Yes, of course we care, that is what we do.

So it's not enough that we have to get old. Now we have to take a bunch of shit from the young? Grrrrr.

@axtremus said in Phibes, Dead Pixels?: “Dead Pixels” No, Ax, I've never heard of that one. I have an opinion about everything, of course, but I've never seen the show.

@89th said in Reasonable Answer: Also, don’t forget a few jalapeños on a pizza… One player responded darkly that "people who put pineapple on pizza can't be trusted." Then he went on to recommend jalapenos. Your kind of guy!

@89th said in Taliban gets US Military biometric tech: Considering the videos on how they use gym equipment, I'm not too concerned. There's always somebody in the shadows that will do anything for money. Or the Chinese and Russians (who have been supplying the Taliban with intelligence) might do it for free.

WSJ opinion piece. Prose I think Aqua would tip his hat to: The world has seen a President portraying surrender as an act of political courage, and retreat as strategic wisdom. As we write this, the world’s rogues are looking for ways to give him a chance to deliver a similar speech about other parts of the world.

The enemy of my enemy...

Just let me pull this out of the article... Dershowitz: “We can still talk, Larry.” David: “No. No. We really can’t. I saw you. I saw you with your arm around [Former Trump Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo! It’s disgusting!” Dersh: “He’s my former student [at Harvard Law]. I greet all of my former students that way. I can’t greet my former students?” David: “It’s disgusting. Your whole enclave — it’s disgusting. You’re disgusting!” That's all you need to know about today's left. As I've mentioned, I hate identifying "artists" by their politics, but this type of crap gives me pause. Beethoven was a four-star asshole, and after reading his biography, it took me a long time to look beyond that to appreciate his art. It must've been a year before I could return to his music (fragile flower that I am). David just proved himself to be a four-star asshole. Just shut up and sing write comedy. When's the last time this happened the other way around? (insert @Jolly 's "rent-free" image here) As someone used to remind me, "He's not in office any more. He can't hurt you any more."

@mik I saw this on FB, and KathyK commented on it as well. She described the town as "desolate."

@aqua-letifer said in RIP Sean Lock....: @doctor-phibes said in RIP Sean Lock....: Way too young. I had no idea he was ill - I watch his stuff on YouTube all the time. He's freaking hilarious. I see he did a lot of stuff with Bill Bailey over the years, too. Some of the stuff he did on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is brilliant. He reduced Jimmy Carr to tears on a number of occasions. There's currently a group of very funny British comedians who feature in a lot of different shows, and he was definitely one of the best of them.

@axtremus said in Married Ford Engineers Save Wedding with F-150: https://www.foxnews.com/auto/married-ford-engineers-save-wedding-during-power-failure-hybrid-f-150 Why does the article and the headline emphasize the fact that the engineers are married? Why does that have anything to do with what they did to save the wedding? What were the reporters and editors thinking? Getting you to click on the link. Actually married couple and wedding in the same sentence is a much less tortured headline than much on MSM.

@george-k said in An anonymous soldier writes about Afghanistan: I ask that you not use my name. I am a currently serving General Officer Would a currently serving General Officer really believe his boss couldn't figure out who wrote this? Maybe
