Throw enough shit and some of it will stick. Aye.

This seems to be a quite unique American phenomenon: make a number up and go for it.

Typical of any government to spin a failure into a success. Let them have it, as long as no more people get hurt, and that includes the unfortunate Russian conscripts and officers who didn't have a clue what was coming.

Yeah, that is weird.

Well... It is clear that it's not working. He has never recused himself in 30 years.

Apparently he's too late due to statute of limitations; 4 years, I think.

That's behind a paywall here. UK site: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/mar/24/ginni-thomas-donald-trump-mark-meadows-texts-election The words and style she uses, I cannot believe she is the wife of a US SC judge. Sounds like a QA conspiracist. It makes sense now why Clarence Thomas falls so much along partisan lines. From link: Strong smell of rotten apples coming my way.

I read something interesting to me about that, regarding strategy: Amateurs talk strategy and professionals talk logisics. The Russians don't seem to have learned that in Ukraine. Unless the RTS game includes logistics decision-making, one is not going to get far IRL. Reading about the current NATO exercise in Norway, one of the purposes mentioned was to do with them figuring out the logistics in that scenario and maintaining supply lines.

Therein lies a problem: it is not conducive to an exploratory philosophical discussion to be a wedded to a position.... a bit like arguing with a devout religious person on the existence of god: Yeah!.. No! It's going nowhere.

Apparently, you can but it depends on the species as not all are amenable to the technique. https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/grafting-and-budding-nursery-crop-plants

To bring about Putin's demise, don't you think one would need to be more devious than him? Do good guys win dirty games?

I think @CharonY knows German and might have a clue reading the words.

Like someone said to me recently: You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

As long as it's not Kelly Loeffler or Marjorie Taylor Green. Those two women are BSC... they'd sell their own mother.

The operators were not slap-happy, they were inexperienced. The blue light may have been Cherenkov radiation reflecting from the reactor in to the air through the blown off top of the reactor housing. https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/video/mol/2019/08/19/6360617742329267503/1024x576_MP4_6360617742329267503.mp4

'Right of Way', relates to walkers and cyclists using paths and tracks due to historical use. If a path or track is used continuouslyfor more than 13 years, iirc, it becomes a right of way in terms of access to those users and cannot be blocked to them.

Except if WVM gets caught, he's liable by default now. There's no legal contest. Most pedestrians will use their commonsense and check for in-turning traffic, and I think most pedestrians will just let them turn in before crossing. I'm totally deaf wrt things I can't see and it may cover my ass when I forget to look behind me, although I usually do.

Yes, they are still stuck in certain mindsets, where many people were in the UK pre-30-40 years ago. The more progressive people were called the 'Loony Left' iirc. It's fear of the unknown.

You need to stop just focusing on the official Russian version of events.

It depends much on what media echo chambers you spend your time in. He has clearly motivated the less intellectually able and naive, as well as those more able who see him as a vehicle for their own personal advancement. America is a big country with a lot of isolated people distributed thinly and not well-connected compared those those in the big cities.... he appeals to the former, it seems.

A ray of light, maybe:

Operative word is 'hope'.

Here's hoping one of his misdemeanors takes him out of circulation before then.

I think we are looking at this wrong due to looking at in isolation. We only have to look for the actual founding parents of the domestic chicken:
