Above all what you need is *intelligence* because the bad guys are learning too. So IMHO the rocket boys are probably the ones who get maximum logistic priority to the extent you can

The question becomes, as always, did the Allies win the war by sending their best people to the front? Yes, when absolutely necessary (turbo-Guadalcanal.) But otherwise you've got a massive, heavily armed cohort of the best possible teachers a military-industrial complex could ask for.
We thought we could get away with letting him walk away in 2021. By the time we realized we couldn't it was too late. So liberalism both failed & realized its failure & tried to fix it.
it's a gift & a curse

I'm glad Carlos Mencia (formerly Ned Holness) is not Prime Minister of Jamaica
at least it's not Ned Holness?
if you had water absorb you wouldn't need half your team, Clodsire Corviknight Skeledirge would simply eat
Robin Williams would have been proud
honestly the combination of IV fluids & obligate sobriety means this is the best Rudy's looked in years
Most online complaints about flag code are goofy nonsense. This one is spot-on
If you can't put together 45 votes in the Senate, you ain't cooking either way
Throw in a certificate in supply chain management while we're at it. why not
the ideal military officer has a bachelor's in engineering, a master's in sociology, & a PhD in history
the best thing I ever ordered from them was their steak enchiladas, which consisted of two of their regular cheese enchiladas with a pan-fried thin-cut sirloin perched atop
I have no idea what's true here. But I would caution that claiming this is fake may be appealing for Venezuela so that they may avoid a fight they don't want
yes sir, god bless the US Army
What I perhaps failed to make clear is that these nachos are really fucking good
No coupons, no membership points, just hot garbage with melted cheese on top
My favorite declasse local tex-mex place has mastered the art of marketing: show me some food & suggest that I eat it
One of my best playthrough gained Swiss hegemony in Europe & only fought one belated war with Hitler due to stupid Balkan shenanigans, which Europe united soon put the kibosh on. The war was boring! Good
The moms are good
It me, the guy who almost always goes down a democracy path even if it's boring but still owns all the DLC
our glorious future:
The worst thing about A is that A is the one that's most likely to give an opponent more bites at the apple
C is most costly in dollars & materiel but most manpower-efficient, B is manpower-inefficient but potentially strategically effective, A is potentially cheaper than either but is organizationally demanding
Learning that Virginia governors are inherently lame ducks has greatly reduced my investment in that office
That's how you know it's a British IP
processed canned "pork"
laws aren't real
puckish, in the style of a bad David Spade impression

it's a small legacy but the dividends are infinite
it's good to be the king('s brother)
The page is black & white but the text is somehow green
It very much is golden orange outside. If this were a tornadic thunderstorm I'd be basically at ground zero for where in a storm a tornado would be likeliest to come down
don't like that one bit
Gen X (derogatory, with no ire toward the many Xers who do better)
A working-class-coded Democrat who's not afraid to speak his mind =(
Anti-wokeness would be 10% more tolerable, even as it tries to dismantle the nation & immiserate the vulnerable, if it weren't so goddamn smarmy
Overcoming a libertarian's innate health crankery by offering him the chance to defy the federal government
That's why these fads happen. Investors, particularly tech investors, want the next 10x, 20x return, & if you're not offering that, they will take their money to whoever is. That doesn't fully account for things like Zuckerberg being a mediocrity determined to prove himself a genius, but it's key
Really sick of wheelies being such a trend among motorcyclists, please flirt with death on your own time & not where I have to prepare to dodge your corpse
the penalty for everyone overestimating AI is significantly lower than the penalty for any one of them appearing to underestimate AI, much less actually underestimating it
Turns out you can get capability 15-20 years ahead of consumer-grade equipment if you're willing to put half a billion dollars towards the effort
Can't decide which would be worse
Probably a fair representation of my inability to actually speak German
Also beyond what Saganomics said, much of the national press is based out of NYC. Everything that happens there happens under a microscope.
Especially as NYC proper is very liberal, & as Netanyahu has suggested that liberal American Jews who oppose Israeli policy are bad Jews
If they had the capacity to be embarrassed they wouldn't be where they are
Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen
I commend MSMBC for running an article on this but yes, it should be a national scandal
Israel, obviously. There's a huge generational gap between older voters & younger voters in the party on Israel policy, & nowhere is it most apparent than among New York voters
Also in the midst of a big shift from dependence on big donors to dependence on small donors. So many reasons it's frustrating
Which is silly on its own, because he isn't really intervening; the plan was to recruit Janet Mills long before anybody else jumped into the race. Schumer has generally had a pretty good track record on the subject, with occasional very frustrating exceptions
This was less of an issue before both Congressional caucuses elected leaders from New York City in the midst of a massive intraparty upheaval on the one issue that New York voters are specifically personally invested in compared to the rest of the party
Michael Whatley. Previous job was chair of the North Carolina Republican Party
I could because I hate the guy, which is definitely not representative
Going to be honest I really don't understand degree of vitriol in an argument over the preliminaries of a Senate primary where basically everybody in the conversation basically fucking agrees on what they want
What I don't understand is how anybody expects a trade to go through when he's still under contract overseas
Why fix what was never broken?
Everything you hate can be a terrorist & therefore subject to arbitrary state murder if you wish hard enough
Most prosecutors are qualified & relatively sober. Jeanine Pirro is special
It is going to be a nightmare figuring out how to fix everything these dumbasses have broken or tried to break
"it can't be fascist if I think it's good"
I get why people are afraid of "another Fetterman" but given the difficulty they've had sourcing candidates, the charismatic newcomer with the unreliable past might be their best shot. No Conor Lamb here
heart no-shit skipped a beat
these are the people sensible moderates would sell their souls to in order to defeat "woke"
where's sonic when we need him
Gladwell knows on what side his bread is buttered
we stand not at the end of things but at their beginning
True facts: many women who enjoy tall guys will enjoy you being tall even if it's just because you're wearing logger boots
Notably, about a month after that was reported, Meta AI did a hiring freeze. I'm sure people within the parent company had exactly that reaction when they found out
Minimally. Meta has been offering $100M signing bonuses, supposedly. I presume that's exceptional & a lot of strings are attached, but it's obvious there's more money swimming around than anyone knows what to do with
Yes, exactly
Honestly if I were an AI exec the temptation to put in a couple years, take the money & run would be substantial.

Florida doesn't seem to fear the money like Texas does.
Florida, the unhappiest place on Earth
it's a business expense, shit gets saved in triplicate
I presume they see the chance to ratfuck & are happy to let the cards fall where they may
This isn't new, Torres jumped aboard the Mamdani train pretty early once he won the nomination
Infinitely shameless (laudatory, in this specific instance)
They're trying to finesse Trump into being the culmination of movement conservatism despite him being elected by voters who specifically saw him as a moderate rejection of that. Can't wait to see it dismissed on the grounds that "Republicans said they'd never actually do that"
yes, and
You know your flip-flops are ready to be retired when they have individual toe prints worn in
There's a possible alternate universe where my dad switched to C-17s & I grew up in New Jersey instead of Kansas
I am no longer asking
Turn. The C-17 machine. Back on.
Yeah, that makes me doubt this. How do you reckon the capabilities of a force with 10-15% real availability? I'm sure they used a consistent methodology but I'm not certain the topic easily admits a consistent methodology
Democrats should be demanding Congressional hearings & investigations. Get Tim Walz out there decrying this attack on the American way of life
It's even worse now because the replies on any post that makes half a lick of sense are full of no-name bluechecks demanding Grok defeat the OP with facts & logic
Not Turkey. EU, not NATO
This is my wallet. I've had it for 8 years & it's still in great shape. Though they weren't so Jesus-y in their branding when I bought from them...
Yeah, when the election heats up proper it seems pretty clear that Cuomo's going to have his hands full avoiding the charge that he's Trump's Trojan horse, mostly because being Trump's Yrojan horse is the best shot he has at winning
Love too pay a 50% premium on a purchase made 3 days before arbitrary tariffs were put into place because laws aren't real anymore
I don't know what to tell you man, if you can't accept that the NYDN is a well-regarded, facts-driven left-leaning newspaper that happens to be published in a taboid format, I don't know what I'm supposed to do
The New York Post is a tabloid. the Boston Herald is a tabloid. The Chicago Sun-Times is a tabloid. It's a format, not a denotation of truth. The Daily News has won like a dozen Pulitzers. They're a legitimate news organization.
Taking a firm "this is fine" position on this endorsement whenever it happens. Gotta be willing to take yes for an answer
They're a news tabloid, not the Weekly World News
