  1. Chief of Staff: Mr. President, Henry Kissinger has passed. Joe Biden [ munching block of Kerrygold butter ]: hot damn. we do that?
  2. Goddamn, I'm in a good mood. This was a fantastic end to a shitty day!
  3. Henry Kissinger, who shaped world affairs under two presidents, dies - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM He was the only person ever to be White House national security adviser and secretary of state at the same time. He also became the target of relentless critics.
  4. In the 70s, there were a few Soviet bomber aircraft that had a cooling loop in one of its systems that comprised of a mix of water and ethanol--essentially vodka. Pilots and crew would drink the cooling liquid and get apocalyptically drunk.
  5. True. Like the WBW. It's out there, but I think it works. That's honestly one of the things about Ahsoka that work the best. Ahsoka's problem is that characters won't talk to each other about the thing that's bothering them. And that's an old old old fundamental problem with poorly done media.
  6. Ahsoka's problem is that Filoni wrote all the episodes. Filoni's ideas and characters and direction are on point for what Star Wars need to be. But he needs a writer's room. What's irritating is some of the best Clone Wars episodes (Phantom Apprentice/Shattered/Victory and Death) were solely written by him. In Rebels, he and Henry Gilroy teamed up for some bangers too (Jedi Night/Twin Suns).
  7. I find it adorable that the Russians are so bad at naval air defense that they've--since day one--been putting land based SAMs on their ships to widen their net.
  8. Oh jesus christ. Feel free to ignore everything this coworker of yours tells you. And if he brings up anything from Tim Pool again, tell him you'll not ever speak with him again. Tim Pool is a fascist.
  9. Same. I'm also a Patreon subscriber for a couple podcasts, but they aren't really news. So I voted no.
  10. Every evangelical friend of mine that is not all the way pilled on Dave Ramsey swears instead by YNAB. I couldn't be bothered to try it, but I generally don't spend a ton of money anyway, so I don't have an issue budgeting. This really sucks for people that have used and liked Mint. Tools like that are great and it sucks that capitalism is extracting more value from things that should be free.
  11. I took my office chair home during Covid. I had to bring it back, but no one said a thing. I know a guy who also took his standing desk from the office lmao.
  12. What if I told you polling said the general public is NOT fragile about it? Most Americans believe in intelligent life beyond Earth; few see UFOs as a major national security threat WWW.PEWRESEARCH.ORG About two-thirds of Americans (65%) say their best guess is that intelligent life exists on other planets. But you're right that they'll never tell us the truth. Because the truth is that these "sightings" are normal everyday objects, military equipment, or other mundane things that are not extra-terrestrial in origin. And they won't tell us not because we're fragile, but because it removes a really good distraction from the other shit the military gets up to.
  13. This thread will be open and unresolved for at least another 8 months.
