I mean the source of Yogesh's post; because if I'm remembering right, he has cemented himself as a top-tier snobby asshole on the LL boards. It would be amusing if he's done so basically everywhere, and if he's posting these self-absorbed rants on multiple boards.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I know what to do

@garnetpalmetto

It's Yogeshin' time

It was a Facebook post. I could smell his snobby asshole reek from a mile away. I'm not on quiz forums or anything, but I'm not surprised to see his peers don't like him either. If I had to spend 2 minutes conversing with this dude, I'd find the nearest window. I want you to fight him.

not to be too critical. but self-absorbed rants might....might...encompass you all up too.

Great Britain won a Gold in ice hockey? Interesting is right...

The goalie mask looks funny with the eyeholes for the glasses though. ..

First measurable snow forecasted for Wed....up to one inch like Cuck's pee pee. Thought it would hold out by end of Feb early March....still pretty negligible.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

this has to have been talked about before...but what's with HF pushing these drug/crime/death related threads on the bottom of the website when you are in a thread?

Yea who could have guessed that the star from Saturday Night Fever, knew the real reason Suban got traded.

We're watching Below Deck then gonna watch this. First episode was amazing, is it still a 90 minute episode?

Im not the only one that watches this? Wife got me into it, such great, terrible, reality TV

We got 15 inches Sunday night and Monday. Another 6 inches plus tomorrow night and Thursday. We are making up for having very little snow in the last couple months

We watch all of the spin offs to. Just basically yelling at the tv for the captains to fire everyone, then we complain how we dont like anyone on the show but are hooked in anyway.

For Christmas I got The Child some kind of squishy stretchy banana toy. Last night, I spiked it on the floor and turned it into a banana pancake, because I knew I could re-banana it.

Me: *spikes*
Child: *Gasps in horror*
Child: "YOU RUINED MY LIFE! I'm gonna smash your intestines! I'm gonna get Quinty to lick off all your skin and eat your bones!"

(Quinty is a 20 leeb dog and the gentlest, softest being on this planet)

Meanwhile her interaction with her mother just now was explaining "The Invisible Bucket" and how if it's full you're happy and if it's empty you're unhappy, then she hugged Beefette and happily proclaimed that their buckets are now full. Then said that helping other people fills her bucket the most. Bit of a far cry from smashing the old intestines.

Hahaha agreed. We'll fire up last night's episode shortly. Beats watching the Flyers. Last season of sailing yacht was pretty damn boring. Adventure and the current below deck aren't too bad. We went to St Lucia on our honeymoon in November, so it's kind of cool watching and seeing everything and knowing where it is

German tanks headed to Russia's borders......hypersonic nuke missiles being sent on a Russian frigate off the US east coast......wonderful escalations.

Shit needs to end....regardless of who started it.

Probably a prank....a "hi" to the invading Crusaders.

Ancient Jerusalem hand imprint baffles Israel experts

Israeli archaeologists said Wednesday that they are trying to uncover the meaning of a recently discovered hand imprint carved into the stone wall of an ancient moat outside Jerusalem's Old City.

German tanks aren't going to Russia's borders.

Sending hypersonics on a surface ship within easy kill range removes all the benefit of hypersonic missiles

They also have their most sophisticated subs that are hard to track off the coast ready to launch nuke torpedoes. Nobody can preempt a nuke war. More worried about a miscalculation and accidental launch as the war remains hot.

Their most sophisticated subs are mostly old enough now that, with Russia's poor refit and maintenance capabilities, they are no longer stealthy. It's unlikely they can leave the Barents (or even port) without being tracked the whole way. Russia is pretty bad at the stealth thing overall, actually.

Nuclear torpedoes aren't very effective for strikes. They also have shit range relative to other nuclear delivery methods.

It's not a thing I'd worry about

 

[Beef Invictus]

And while I'm at it, hypersonic cruise missiles aren't exactly the game changer Russian and Chinese propaganda hype them up to be. They're ICBMs by another name. The US military didn't bother developing them for a while because of that. Congress demanded to know where our hypersonics are, and the Navy/Air Force pointed at our ICBMs and the fact that they don't provide any capability we don't already exercise.

Then pressure from above became great enough, so the military shrugged and put out contracts as an afterthought and within a few years we are close to not only catching up, but surpassing Russia and China on that front. With a pretty idle effort.

I think one thing we have all been susceptible to, as a society, is transposing our "knowledge" of what our military hardware capabilities are to that of the supposed enemy. That heightens our worry meter.

Personally, I have always taken the stance of worrying solves nothing, changes nothing, and gains nothing.

I started watching RRR twice now, keep falling asleep. Pretty impressive action though.

Yeah, the standard for "stealth" and followed by NATO navies is extremely strict relative to everyone else.

Supposedly we have been able to track down and get acoustic profiles on new Russian subs that are at peak design stealth because someone on board will be doing something goofy like pounding stuff with a hammer for some reason. Do that in a US sub and you'll get duct taped to a pipe for the day.

Yeah but the dailymail says

 

[Embiid]

I don't see anything good out of this proxy war between nuclear powers continuing to escalate. People acting like this war is some Milton Bradley board game like Stratego....and that this is all going to remain contained. Then you have the Orwellian thought processes where people believe in two contradictory statements equally....Russia and Putin are nuts....but no way they would be crazy enough to engage in a nuclear exchange. China wouldn't let them ..blah blah blah. This bathroom "sword" fight and pissing match needs to end period. So much for democracy....you got half of the German population saying this is a bad move on their part and where will it stop with arms after these initial tank deliveries. Here the discourse is pretty much non-existent about the dangers of this proxy war continuing unabated.
