I remember a scene with Gandalf eating while researching the ring in Gondor's library. And he ate heartily in the Hobbit book after a long day.

What did it eat down there?

What is this from? I guess I've never seen him in his youth

Ukraine held off the initial invasion all on their own until the supply started. Then it's stalemate with slow, surplus weapons. Entire stockpile? Lol no. Ukraine is getting crumbs.

I'm not having fun with this. It's just fact that Russia couldn't do much against one of the poorestcountries in Europe. Apparently full of corruption. Hard to imagine they had any decent training over large parts of their military (a Canadian sniper went over and came back because he effectively thought they had no idea what they were doing). There's simply no comparison with any proper military.

I wonder why you're on this drumbeat of yours (doesn't take much to figure it out). Ciao.

Russia couldn't go against fucking Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in Europe. Russia couldn't do much against NATO minus US. The only problem is the baltics have no depth.

I think everyone learnt plenty from Hitler that appeasement and country and country doesn't work. That's the whole point of NATO. Your view is antithetical to the entire doctrine of NATO.

They do military stuff too.

Trump would leave NATO no doubt. But from what we've seen NATO without US can easily take Russia.

One mechanic at the complex, who has worked for Boeing for more than three decades, has claimed it is “full of” faulty 787 jets that need fixing.

Many of these jets are flown from Boeing’s site in South Carolina, where the company shifted final assembly of the 787 in 2021 in what was characterized as a cost-cutting measure.

Has any airline cancelled their Boeing contracts yet?

Well the plan B is NATO article 5. It's a shame Ukraine wasn't in it.

For all the bluster there's no way Russia would take on NATO.

Take note how they say "take back the country". They've convinced themselves of this a long time ago.

It expressed what I wanted to say, because it was my reply.

Notice I'm downvoted, so who's the one being edgy? Could have said that for your original comment too. Ciao.

I did, most people understand that idiom. Frankly it's amazing he didn't.

Seeing as it's not in the official song, I think it's from a bad rip or something.

Uh oh!

The British used to sail up the Columbia River for fur trading, had several forts the whole way. Also the origin of the name British Columbia. They had a much better claim for Washington State, but the US really pushed hard because they wanted a deep water Pacific port (Seattle area) and didn't have San Francisco at the time.

Police in Indianapolis have identified a 12th body buried on the estate of now-deceased wealthy Republican businessman Herbert Baumeister, a closeted gay man who is believed to have murdered over 20 men and boys that he met in Indianapolis gay bars during the mid-1980s and ’90s.

Which community?

Nah these people are 1/3 caffeine.

It is a weird turn of phrase.
