    Can't we be content just with missiles that facilitate biodegradation?

    As is usually the case, President Trump speaks on teh subject. Donald Trump is facing backlash for downplaying the traumatic brain injuries suffered by 109 U.S. service members after an Iranian ballistic missile attack in 2020. The Republican presidential candidate made the remarks at a campaign press event on Tuesday after a reporter asked him if he should have been “tougher” on Iran during his time in the White House following the attack that left troops injured. “First of all, injured, what does injured mean?” Trump replied. “You mean because they had a headache? Because the bombs never hit the fort.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-iran-soldier-injuries-headaches-b2622742.html

    WOuldnt work. It would also require voters to nominate candidates that can actually speak at length on policy, coherently. I think that peoples attention spans are much shorter today. Having President Trump or VP Harris ramble for 30 minutes would not accomplish anything. I dont think that either could be able to speak at length coherently.

    At one time I had 3 bottles of MacAllan in my stock - 10, 12, 15 year old. I set up a test. The difference between the 10 and 12 year was quite notable. The difference between 12 and 15 was notable, but not as much. That difference is $100. I can't find the 10 year old at my local store.

    @Mik said in Kamala’s statement on Iran: [image: 460847206_10227674710072968_1164575960448055091_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=nRuY8QLc_8kQ7kNvgEp1R-p&_nc_ht=scontent.fluk1-1.fna&_nc_gid=AW9nc6lBCzre5J_UB8U5bev&oh=00_AYBE4i3QmQqWXnTXX-0niVp7CsYD2x4vbgqOYDBdymdVQw&oe=6703AFA9] That was one of Vance’s best tactics in the debate. Yes, it was done to death, but it kind of needed to be. And reminding people that instead of blindly trusting the promises of the future, both Presidential candidates have a record that you can look back on.

    @Horace said in Your mid-week musical interlude. (Hope you like drums.): i have a follower on YouTube, so I know what it’s like to have 4 million, by a simple process of extrapolation. It’s pretty awesome. It's my bot account. It crawls for Apple fanboi insider info so consider yourself a sufficiently informed source. Anyway, I like how he didn't really overplay it. Sure he went nuts here and there but where appropriate; it was still the song as recognized. He gets a lot of crap for often playing that which "would never work as a song," which is often true, but he's not playing songs in those contexts, he's making a video. When he does band stuff he plays what makes sense.

    Wow. That’s gotta be super rare. People find unexplored munitions in 80 -100 year old war zones with some frequency, but for them to spontaneously explode is rare AF.
