I forgave kutulu long ago and don't appreciate you always stirring the pot, ed Happy Birthday to KSB and kutulu. RIP to the Brit John Lennon on his birthday

That's the worry. I imagine both Hamas and the Israeli military commanders have spent a great deal of thought, energy, prepping, and planning for what to do in case the Israelis ever needed to swim in the hostile toilet. What a focked up assignment, I couldn't imagine.

During the Gulf War, the first time I heard explosions nearby BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I was scared to death and dove under a truck, which may not have been terribly smart as it had a fuel tank that could explode, but I didn't want any flying shrapnel either. I soon realized that nothing around me was exploding, nobody was shouting, the ground wasn't shaking. No, what I'd heard was us shooting at them for the first time. Fortunately, I never did find out what it was like to be on the receiving end of a missile, only the sending end. Those of us in maintenance were a mile or three behind the M1A2s and Bradleys on the front line. Nearby, making all that noise, was the field artillery.

I dunno. Whenever my mother-in-law makes a meal, I don't rightly know what it is. Fortunately I have this neighbor, he had a good gig fifteen years ago performing rectal feeding for the CIA in Iraqi prison. Sadly, there's not much demand for people in his line of work anymore, so he's down on his luck. Anyway, whenever my MIL cooks something, I give him $5 to grind it up, stick a tube into my ass, and drip it in while my hands are free to type on the computer.

He changed the course of human civilization like few others, leading a small fleet into the unknown without a map or modern navigational instruments, with bravery and determination. He was the catalyst that incorporated an entire hemisphere into the global system of migration and economics... ... but no he wasn't great because some jealous racist DEI professor at your college that turns on a GPS to go to the grocery store five blocks away told you focused on the bad things he did instead and he wasn't a very effective governor of the new territory.

I thought they looked decent when they played the Lions this week. They moved the ball decently, It was a few bad turnovers deep on their side of the field that ran up the score.

Gaza might actually be a nice place to live in ten years.

You compete, you get your official time recorded, you get your medal, then you strut around like Andy Kaufmann, bragging to anybody who will listen about how you were 6.3 seconds faster than the woman who won the other competition, making you the real, actual winner.

Wordle 843 3/6 🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Great second word I wind up using a lot. It suits me and you can guess what it is because it's the answer backwards, with three wrong.

Good job Raiders D with some big turnovers.

sucks raiders couldn't pad the lead at the half but are still playing well.

nice job

see if the Raiders can do something, finally.

He's a left wing POS, but considering the circumstances, I'm willing to put that aside for now. Instead, I'll join with him and agree completely on his main point in regards this invasion. I fully expect to get back to thinking of him as a POS again in the near future but for the time being, on this issue, I'll have his back.

Independent. I'd thought he might hook up with a 3rd party that already has ballot access. Now he has to do all that extra work from scratch

Wordle 842 4/6 🟨 🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Sat there a good minute and a half looking at the first three letters and not seeing it.

Impressive how the 49ers are conducting another massive beatdown, this time on one of the NFC's best teams.

Yes. This. ^^^^^^ Been that way all our lives.

They're finding a way to stay in the conversation. Not tonight mind you, but tonight they're playing the best team in the league.

Still hoping/waiting to see somebody off the 49ers and/or Eagles.

Bryce Young looks like he may turn into a fine QB, given time.

Chandler Zavala or the Carolina O-Line had a serious looking injury earlier, they took a long break to cart him off, seems he's alert and has movement in all extremities at the hospital.

Carolina offense has looked pretty decent. Fortunately, their defense sucks and Detroit is missing some of their top offensive players. Drops stop Detroit, not Carolina.

Inner cities political factions are a power struggle between the rich white liberals, the black racists, and the anarcho-communists. We have no influence at all. It's entirely their baby. The best we can do is live in the well-policed suburbs, to avoid getting any of their leftoidism on us.
