Welcome to Thunderdome

Do have to go ahead and put it out that I'm going to be flying back to the Bay this Friday. So I will be out for that night.

I know, sorry!

I have Saturday night free though!

One big thing is that if you are TOTALLY out of power, don't build windmills, b/c they cost power. You'll stall out for a while. Basic Solar Collectors only cost metal.

E: I've been reading: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pDMZctb9L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg Modern day descendents of Native Americans can't believe how harsh the colonist were to conquered/subjugated/defeated tribes. But the NA of the day? Yeah, they would have understood - and been grateful we...

There is zero reason or catalyst for them to get to that point. They wouldn't even have horses until the Spanish brought them over.

They were effectively living at the same tech level for 20,000 years.

There's stories, data, and there's burying your head in the sand.

The Wall St driven economy is unsustainable.

Yup. See: Boeing.

Hmmmm. That being said, among the chicken keepers, shooting dogs that don't know to not kill the livestock is kind of a common thing. 100% but she’s the one who made this happen. She: By taking Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs, Noem says, she hoped to calm the young dog down and begin to ...

E: hearing that she admitted in the same book (on the same day????) she also shot a family goat because it was mean and smelled bad.

This woman may actually be a psychopath.

Would think these would be solemn, sad acts, even if she deemed them necessary. Bragging about them is a wild choice.

Why what is happening today that dogs are chagrinned? Kristi Noem, SD governor, admitted something she should have taken to the grave. That after taking a 14 month old future bird hunting dog to a neighbors farm after a session, the dog ran at the chickens. Think he got one. Anyway, she shot the 14...

I also need to play some core games. When I'm given a core tech 2 con unit, I'm lost with it. Have to hover over everything to find what I want to build. Same, feels like I just picked up a Protoss builder when I'm playing Terran in Starcraft. WTF is all this froo froo shit, curvey edges, lasers, a...

Pink never did recover from that, though. He had to build closer to the middle of the map with his forward commander his only con unit. Then that got easily wiped. If our teching Aussie fella hadn’t been useless by the mid game we’d have rolled em earlier. 100% wild when I saw our eco guy not even r...

We got in a TON of multi games tonight. Won more than we lost. Our last one was a ridiculous 8v8. Insane amount of units, tons and tons of nukes and experimental flying around. Cake and I took out a factory with an early rush and then held the line until our backline help showed up. Wild one.

Negative, this is the final piece of the “Troy may never have a kid” puzzle.

Brother’s third child, a male heir to the throne! His first name is my middle.

Will try for 8 eastern. Parents have the newborn tonight so might be a little noisy at times. But those are grandparent problems.

Judge denies Trump new trial on Carroll verdict. All these Trump cases might be in the system forever. I think the GOP will be bankrupt before then at this pace. Laura Trump is on my X feed constantly begging for money. *I realize before infinity is impossible but it's early in the morning and that...

Yeah dude was an ex, or active duty cop, I wouldn’t have jumped in either.

While Trump sits in court, his lawyers at the Supreme Court seem to be setting up a legal backdrop for Biden to drone strike Trump as he walks out the courtroom.

Thought it was good. This is a war journalism ethics movie. A strong ANTI-civil war movie. Nobody sane watches this movie and goes 'yeah, I want that." I had read/thought they tried to stay out of current politics, but they show the third term president talking EXACTLY like Trump does at the ve...

In NC, east coast time, should be up for playing tomorrow.

Babylon Bee has been hitting it lately. Something about finding your best edge in times of crisis, or something.

I think getting objected to during their opening statement, and getting it sustained twice (!) by the judge is such an insane legal thing to happen Trump is fucked. He and his people are lying in the one place if you lie with facts at hand, someone will enforce the truth with a gavel. Sucks. Not rea...
