Introspective articles like this one are incredibly important for a party to remain at the top of their game. As you mention, there is often this push to want to tell voters what to think rather than listening to them and acting on what they want. I remember this being a large issue in 2016 as well, with many voters wanting a candidate more like Berine Sanders, or at least a candidate that took up some of his (and the voters’) ideas for the future of the country.

Many, including myself, are interested/paying more attention to the presidential race after the first presidential debate of the season. This article does a really good job analyzing some popular arguments I have seen recently.

Took me a moment too, look east of Ukraine. Poland did a big sneak.

China so far has been providing dual-use items (think golf carts, microchips). If China is now providing munitions, I would expect quite the number of behind-the-scenes discussions occurring between the west and China; with Chinese sanctions on the horizon.

Did they get Dr. Seuss to design a tank?

Wilshire gave the correct answer, but wanted to expand on that. Cargo 200 was a Soviet code word for transporting filled coffins. It would be what you write on a cargo manifest. It morphed into simply ‘200’ and ‘300’ referring to dead and wounded respectively.

One would think ‘don’t approach unexploded ordinance if you don’t have to’ would be common sense…

Telling one to stop hiring individuals based on their race isn’t pushing back against racism, it’s just racism.

I have commented this several times before, but it has been real good seeing the consistent and notable artillery numbers. It’s one of the things Russia still has an advantage over Ukraine, at least in quantity. But it seems Ukraine has an advantage in counter-battery, at least based on just how many Russian artillery units are getting hit. Over time, with such consistent hits, it is something Ukraine is slowly removing from their disadvantage list.

Good thing there’s absolutely no evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people

I have now shown you evidence of racism when it comes to hiring people. I would appreciate if you would not make such a statement in the future.

Company after company have made statements they will have x% of certain positions filled by people of specific races. You don’t achieve that without taking race into consideration when choosing people to work there.

Dropping DEI makes sense. Just hire the best person for the job, regardless of skin color.

The few times I have tried a more impressive game on my phone, my overriding thought is ‘why am I not playing this on my PC?’. Phone controls, screen size, and processing power suck, so all but the simplest games meant to hold your attention while you are waiting at a doctor’s office don’t optimally work there. And for a doctor’s office lobby, I want something I can have fun within seconds of starting and feel satisfied with only minutes of play.

Yeah, during those reviews they are going to get their liquor license renewed. Why? Because those businesses have not abused their liquor licenses and have followed all appropriate laws.

The article sites a law that licenses cannot be issued to those convicted of ‘a crime involving moral turpitude’, but then does not follow up by demonstrating the license is being issued to Trump. It merely claims he would benefit from it being issued to the business. The law quoted does not state it can’t be issued to person x if some other person would benefit who has been convicted of such a rime.

Both candidates suck. Nobody wants to watch them.

I value free time very highly and a 9-5 job that doesn’t demand constant OT results in a nice work-life balance, IMO. I personally found the transition very pleasant. Main negative was getting time off for chores that must be done during work hours. But, many places are pretty chill about that.

The Government’s theory would also criminalize a broad swath of prosaic conduct, exposing activists and lobbyist to decades in prison…And the Government’s interpretation would give prosecutors broad discretion to seek a 20-year maximum sentence for acts Congress saw fit to punish with far shorter sentences.

From the decision.

In short, the prosecutor used a non-applicable charge against this individual. The case was remanded back to lower courts to continue.

That grad hit was particularly spicy.

And always nice to see a train hit. See those less often, but they are Russia’s logistics backbone and are some of the most important targets.

Yeah, this could prove very effective. Lancets have been doing quite a bit of damage due to their longer range. If Ukraine can shoot these down reliably with such cheap munitions, it will greatly diminish Russia’s ability to hit targets behind the front.

Or Biden is showing his age and needs to let someone else take the helm. Being left doesn’t mean yes-manning everything the party does.
