Dirt e Deeds

More than that, the Flamingo has 3,000 km range and can penetrate hard targets. The warhead is a 2,500 pound bomb, it's like getting 5-500 pound bombs dropped on you. This means 99% of Russian military production facilities can be put out of commission. It makes provoking Ukraine VERY costly.

A number of buildings were hit and Gemini says it's likely. They hit buildings that would have a lot of specialized equipment which they will have difficulty getting under sanctions.

The building that was hit was far more devastating for the production numbers. It was a vital part in the process and required a lot of specialized equipment which is likely now vaporized. So they will likely not be making these missiles for at least half a year or more.

One of the Iskander production facilities hit by a Ukranian Flamingo missile. That is absolutely insane damage, the entire floor of the factory is likely obliterated. Ukraine now has the means to shut down Russia's military production facilities.

Paintings by Adolf Hitler, I'm not an artist or critic but I mean they aren't bad. Apparently the ones who rejected him said he lacks any kind of style, is too rigid, and focused too much on architecture. He was good, the point of a school is to learn and get better, weird he was rejected.

I found this European glass trade bead on a native american site in Tennessee years back. I had never looked up the type before (thanks AI), it's an IIIa12, it dates from 1600-1630, meaning it was likely traded by VERY early Spanish/French fur traders. It would be a VERY high status item then.

What really won WWII, reliability. A Tiger needed 3 overhauls between France/Berlin and the ME 262 engine would melt after 10-25 hours. The Germans early on had a 70-90% readiness rate even with high maintenance, once supply lines were extended/cut that plummeted and equipment broke with no parts.

Gonna be a LONG wait unfortunately, I don't even think he's written season 2 yet even though it's been greenlight for a while. Depressing but if it's good I'm fine with it.

Got a free trial of Apple TV on my Amazon Prime so started watching Plur1bus, it's flipping awesome. It's from the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul (Vince Giligan). Basically a hive mind like the Borg took over all of humanity thru a signal from space and the main character is immune.

Dinosaurs get all the glory when it comes to the early earth but reptiles ruled the Triassic period and filed almost every evolutionary nitch that later species did. Reptiles had near mammal species like this Dicynodont and Crocs had near bird like species. The Triassic extinction put dinos on top.

Someone at this tire shop I'm at has a serious talent and should be making a living making this art instead of changing tires.

Social media is full of the morons spewing their nonsense, it can be frustrating seeing them attacking others for believing reality. They can come up with a fairy tale God excuse for pretty much anything but the fact above is pretty much impossible without a shared common ancestor.

Arguing with people who don't "believe in" evolution can be frustrating because religion makes an excuse for anything. One thing that absolutely proves evolution and that chimps/humans descend from a common ancestor is the fact we share the exact same virus sequences in the exact parts of our DNA.

Kamala wasn't president and as you see that says her policy "broke with Biden" who was president, meaning Biden's policy was not based on trickle down economics. Biden is the one who enacted the corporate minimum tax which ensured large corporations didn't continue to get away with tax murder.

They have, Bush and Trump pushed us back into Reganomic trickle down policy that has led to repeated recessions. Every single Republican president for the past 100 years caused a recession. There are over 5 times and many red voting counties versus blue but blue counties make up 62% of the US GDP.

And we are forced to use laws and policy passed by Regan. Regan's tax, economic, and judicial reforms are still in place today even if they are built on or modified.

So is Julius Caesar, he's been dead over 2,000 years, you still use the calendar he put in place to this day. Things people with power do last well beyond the end of their term and their life.

Nobody plans on getting addicted to anything, it happens very quickly with this garbage. It's absolutely wonderful when you first take it, imagine pure happiness no matter your situation in life, intense feelings of pleasure, huge amounts of energy and increased focus. It grabs you and don't let go.

The first 48 hours is the worst experience of my entire life, I'm not exaggerating. It is the worst cravings I have ever felt, racing anxious and suicidal thoughts, severe shakes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flu and stomach virus like symptoms, feelings of worthlessness, and more. DON'T use it.

The fact this stuff is legal throughout the US is a travesty. I've quit alcohol after drinking for 20 years, benzos like xanax, prescription amphetamines, and smoking tar heroin cold turkey in the past. The withdrawal off this stuff is 1,000 times worse, it's a LIVING HELL, DON'T touch it EVER.

Who were the 1st to use metal tools in the world? Not who you think. The Old Copper Culture in the Great Lakes region of the US were using copper around 1,000 years before anyone else, around 7,500 BC. Huge pure copper boulders used to be all over the surface which they cold hammered into tools.

Also the term "cold fusion" pains me. Fusion works because when you fuse 2 hydrogen atoms you get a helium atom which is lighter, when you lose mass you gain energy (E=MC2), it is given off as heat and radiation. It can't be "cold" and it would still require you to boil water for steam turbines.

Just realized something extremely idiotic about the Fallout show. These people have "fusion cores" the size of a thermos yet they slaughter one another over "cold fusion". If you can make a tiny fusion reactor to power a suit you can scale it up for infinite energy, cold fusion is pointless.

It doesn't look like much but the Mayan mound at Aguada Fénix site in Mexico is of gargantuan proportions. It is almost a mile long, a quarter mile wide, and 33-50 feet high. It was made from up to 150 million cubic feet of earth and clay versus 91 million cubic feet for the Great Pyramid at Giza.

Have you watched yet? I'm shocked it's so good, I watched the 1st season and liked it but I wasn't craving the next episode, this season I am though. They are leaning into who/what/why the apocalypse happened as a mystery box thing and it has me hooked. The character development is AWESOME too.

Season 1 of Fallout didn't much do it for me, it was a bit off. Season 2 however is absolutely amazing, episode 5 tonight was flipping great. The show's creators are the ones who made Westworld for HBO, it was cancelled on a massive cliff hanger, this season is like the peak of Westworld in quality.

I've been addicted to pretty much everything at some point and quit it all cold turkey. I've been addicted to opiates the last 7 years and am trying to quit, I'm learning why 80-90% of people relapse. The withdrawal is HELLISH depression and cravings that are unbearable. Never ever abuse opioids.

I am absolutely shocked at how good Predator Badlands is because I didn't like Prey all that much. The planet it's set on is awesome and having the Weyland synthetics from the Alien franchise there to study it makes me stoked what they can do with that franchise too. It's actually really good.

Browsing X makes me want to tie a Walmart bag around my head and take a long nap...

China/Russia bought Venezuelan oil and Maduro used the funds to buy Iranian weapons, that funded Iran's weapons/nuclear programs. I'm 99% sure China wanted Iran to have nukes so their proxies could freely blockade Middle Eastern oil routes to tie up the US Navy in China/Russia/Iran vs. US conflict.
