I dont know why the US would be interested in wrapping it up? Were not losing anything in it. Warfare is business, and business is booming (excuse the pun). Every single weapon we give them needs to be replaced in our inventory, and now some European countries are buying our equipment like theyre planning to storm Russia themselves (Poland in particular). In a bit of black humor, this is a proxy war for the US which completely exposed Russia as a legitimate conventional threat. We can fight to the last Ukrainian.

You should check your HVAC vents and smoke detectors for pre-existing cameras. Or maybe just the battery is low.

Its probably just me, but it seems counterintuitive to conduct an interview in front of a graveyard full of your troops that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Huh, I dont have a single cent of physical money on me, havent in years. Aside, imo, physical money can become worthless as fast as digital.

The forecast has gotten worse in the five hours since your post and they updated the article: "The "very destructive core" of the storm will bring "extreme" wind gusts of up to 315km/h (195mph) in parts of the Kimberley and Pilbara regions, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said." 195mph is nutso!

Thats a good point. I was bummed when Prince died. Tom Petty too.

Agreed, all crimes should be prosecuted. Except for the miserable who went to prison for a long time for stealing a loaf of bread. That right there is messed up.

We hosted the annual Easter dinner at our house this year (groan) and it turned out great. I always go last at the food line and by the time I got my plate there was only one tablespoon of mashed potatos left! I must have peeled over 20 potatos! Bastages.

"The boat, with 222 rooms, has been refurbished since it was criticised as an "oppressive environment" when the Dutch government used it for asylum seekers. Bibby Marine, which owns the barge and will lease it to the government, said there was a laundry and a canteen on board - and all the rooms have a window, bed, desk, storage and en-suite." Sounds pretty nice to me. We should float a whole bunch of them of the coast of San Francisco and Portland to help out the homeless.
