I’m actually incredibly surprised Ukraine hasn’t already. Russia has been using mercenaries the entire war, the involvement of north Korea is just a huge escalation.

I feel like it’d beat conscripting prisoners.

Honestly the dems have been so worthless that I dont care about them anymore. There hasnt been a real primary in almost 2 decades. They are probably gonna loose again anyways since they hate winning

Pelosi winning over AOC put the nail in the coffin. It there’s a new left party I’ll be voting for them.

I don’t think they get enough sun. Other than that they were in a cup at the kitchen window, with the water replaced every couple days.

Ehhhhh more like a month or more. Maybe if you planted it in some soil, or added a lot more nutrients to the water, but to me its more trouble than its worth.

You get a few little runts after tending to it for like a month.

It is useful if you dont use scallions often, since you will always have fresh ones on hand

I heard a rumour that Assad died. Is that true?

I have no idea what the guy is talking about. Hi-points are under like 200$, and thats a complete pistol. It ain’t luxurious but it shoots.

“The most dangerous man is the man with nothing to lose”

I think its probably gonna be rigged with cherry picked jurors

Or that people remain homeless because they know a job wont solve their homelessness.

Having a hot take or controversial opinion from time to time is a healthy thing. Its a sign of an independent and critically thinking mind.

Its only illegal once you are prosecuted for it. That is how businesses operate. Its not just regulation we need but a justice system that has some teeth

Wrenches come I a million different sizes though. My dads lab had a huge 10 pound wrench that looked just like that

This couldn’t happen, because hitler would have only become leader if ww1 happened.

Most of this comes down to a few things. The AR15 has become so ubiquitous that most designs copy its ergonomics and controls, to save money on training. That explains most of the similarities. NATO has also standardized the magazine, the STANAG, so all guns have the same type of magazine well. A lot of countries tried and tested bullpups and none are satisfied with then, and all of them are being replaced now due to the awkward ergonomics, and proliferation of the AR15.

War is also getting longer in range, with contact regularly engaging in excess of 300-500 meters, right where shorter rifles and carbines start losing effectiveness, so military arms are getting longer barrels to adapt, so all of the rifles have longer barrels.

Basically it comes down to the fact that we have reached the meta, and to an extent the limits of the NATO 5.56 cartridge.

Add a side of sauted veggies and a slice of buttered toast and that’s all you’d need

I’m glad people love the scent of wood. Working with green oak blew me away. It smells sweet! It kind of smells like vanilla and cinnamon. Theres actually a guy who made oak flavored ice cream by toasting oak scraps and soaking them in the cream he intended to use.

Also good to know i shouldn’t be self conscious of all the scars and stuff. Thought it’d make me look like an idiot haha.

Especially cause chairs are fucking hard (for the good ones). Lots of specialtly equipment to make it. A steam box, a kiln, bending jigs, all sorts of cushioning, fabric, springs, twine, burlap, its mind-blowing. I saw a master upholsterer give a demonstration and the depth of the craft of just constructing the cushion is jaw dropping.

Any women here who can give insight on why woodworking is attractive? I thought my hands would be too grimy with sharpening grit, everything covered in chips and shavings and my hands covered in scars for it to be considered attractive.

Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?

I use a lot of Japanese woodworking tools and hearing Hitachi outside of the context of steel production is always so confusing. They make some of the finest steels in the world, to be forged into unparalleled blades by master craftsmen and they also make “marital aids”.

I’m so fucking done with the west leading Ukraine on and giving them a bone when the front is at a breaking point. It’s clear that if Ukraine wants to win this war, it won’t be on the west’s terms. They are in a position where they can only rely on themselves.

This nonsense of a drop of aid after irreplaceable casualties/losses isn’t sustainable.
