Sat 20:19:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Russian media touted the incident as showing "the wonders of survivability" for the T-90M, particularly because the crew survived. The crew of any other vehicle "in such a situation would be doomed to certain death," one Russian outlet said, calling the fight a clear loss for the Bradley since it didn't kill the tank crew."
Sat 20:19:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Losing a very expensive tank and "one of the best" the Russians have, to two American Bradley Fighting Vehicles and a drone is a failure for the T-90M.

Sat 20:20:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Infantry Fighting Vehicles are not tanks and they are not meant to engage a tank.

Sat 20:21:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i guess the orcs didn't even expect the crew to survive

Sat 20:24:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ IFVs can engage tanks but they're meant to do so from a distance using something like a TOW missile.
Sat 20:24:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The autocanon on the Bradley can fire 200 rounds per minute which is the main anti-tank advantage up close.

Sun 01:00:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's a US Senate race on the ballot, all five statewide elected state government offices, and a bunch of locals.
Sun 01:01:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The locals didn't attract any Republican candidates but there were a lot of Libertarians, including for Cook County Board President, Sheriff, and Clerk.
Sun 01:01:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I voted for the Libertarians in the locals.
Sun 01:01:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I got a cramp in my arm from voting to remove 50 judges.

Sun 01:02:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ aren't the "libertarians" just "republicans" in disguise?
Sun 01:03:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, No.
Sun 01:03:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Libertarian Party is for minimal government intervention.
Sun 01:04:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Republicans are authoritarian fascists who absolutely want a big government.
Sun 01:04:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Especially the parts that hurt people.
Sun 01:04:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Libertarians are for gay rights, drug decriminalization, and a permissive immigration system.
Sun 01:04:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And against foreign intervention.
Sun 01:05:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I also voted NO on a $53 million tax increase proposed by the parks department.
Sun 01:05:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the "republicans" talk a lot about "small government" too, it's just that eventually one finds out that somehow enforcing the "republicans"' favorite cult's rules against people who didn't ask for it fits very well in that "small" government

Sun 01:06:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They worded the referendum to go on for an entire paragraph before mentioning it would cost $53 million and interest.
Sun 01:06:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ humans like to lie a lot about their political agendas
Sun 01:06:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ as in, most of the things they say on the topic are lies.
Sun 01:07:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the other apes are better about this, at least they don't lie all the fucking time.
Sun 01:07:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I like parks but I don't like $53 million bond issues to pay full price to people with otherwise worthless property who should lose it under Eminent Domain laws.
Sun 01:09:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This project wouldn't even cost $20 million if the government came in and said "look assholes, you have an empty factory that's been sitting there complete with a parking lot for 20 years and we're taking it. Here's your check for the land value."
Sun 01:11:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so, what's the LP's plan regarding the park?

Sun 19:15:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *Some* people will get a $90 check soon, and we all know why that is.
Sun 19:15:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │
Sun 19:15:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A $90 one-time check, if you get it, right ahead of another year of hyperinflation, and another major hike to Part B and Part D.
Sun 19:15:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │
Sun 19:15:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Paid for out of money that Congress appropriated to improve Medicare.
Sun 19:15:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │
Sun 19:15:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This is actually pretty revolting, because that $90 won't do much. It'll be gone if you buy 3-4 days worth of supplies at the grocery store, and then you get to face another year of premium hikes. Massive premium hikes. Massive deductible hikes. Massive rent hikes. Massive everything hikes.
Sun 19:15:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │

Sun 19:24:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │
Sun 19:24:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It actually was a check that happened, so at least there was that. People spent it immediately, on a new flat screen or paying down credit card debt, but the point was it was gone, and then as soon as you filed your tax return the next year it said "Did you get a check for $800? Yes? Add $800 to your taxes." basically.
Sun 19:24:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │
Sun 19:24:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I thought that was funny. I didn't have to pay it back because you only had to pay it back if you had to file a 1040 and I was under the filing threshold, so I actually got to keep that one. Most didn't.

Sun 19:31:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's on an exponential curve upward. It's very easy to say that people will get $5,000 checks that never come followed by $2,000 checks that never come followed by anothher $5,000 check that's not coming.

Mon 21:17:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Eichorst in The Strain said that the 5 rounds the Mauser k98 could hold was the "one flaw with that rifle".
Mon 21:17:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He's actually wrong.
Mon 21:18:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sending German soldiers out into a meat grinder of an industrial war with a bolt action rifle that was slow as hell was the second major flaw.
Mon 21:18:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The American M-1 Garand was a better rifle. It was not as accurate, it was less powerful, but you loaded the five rounds and it was semi-auto.
Mon 21:19:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It would make a "clang" noise when the clip was depleted so you could pop in another one.
Mon 21:19:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In close range I'd much rather have an M-1 than a k98.
Mon 21:20:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Err, 8 rounds was an option as well for the Garand.
Mon 21:21:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Bolt action means that there's a huge penalty for missing with the k98, because you cannot immediately fire another round.
Mon 21:23:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Mon 21:27:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ strange, the Garand tends to be remarkably accurate in the video games i've encountered it in
Mon 21:27:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe at those ranges the difference doesn't matter
Mon 21:58:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, You can take a k98 in those Call of Duty games, but it's a last resort in my opinion, in case you can't get more ammo for the M1.
Mon 21:59:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's plenty of k98s and ammo to scavenge from all the dead Germans that were using it.

Mon 23:03:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I liked that part of The Strain where Eichorst is about to kill that Catholic Archdiocese who was corrupt and trying to bid up the price of that book.
Mon 23:03:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Archdiocese resorts to prayer in Latin when Eichorst reveals what he is.
Mon 23:04:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So Eichorst stops for a moment and turns his head up to the sky and says "Do you hear that Lord? Your humble servant beseeches you to hear his prayers and help him! Cast down a lightning bolt to strike down his tormenter!" "Hmm, I guess he isn't listening."
Mon 23:07:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It shows that Eichorst started out trying to sell radios door to door in pre-war Germany before the Nazis started their climb to power.
Mon 23:08:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He fell in love with a Jewish woman without knowing who she was, then during a dinner, he was amazed by a Nazi speech at the bar, and then he tried to backpeddle and say Hitler wasn't talking about German Jews, just foreign ones.
Mon 23:09:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then when she runs off, he goes full Nazi and ends up being the commander of a death camp.
Mon 23:09:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's where he encounters The Master and begins planning to become the right-hand of this guy while the Third Reich is falling.
Mon 23:10:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Mon 23:10:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ His rage and hatred that led him to become a devout Nazi happened because of severe failure in his personal life that untethered him.
Mon 23:11:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He failed as a salesman.
Mon 23:11:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He was rejected by a woman.
Mon 23:11:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So he ran off and joined the SS.
Mon 23:12:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I liked the story.
Mon 23:13:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's so simple to become an extremist.
Mon 23:13:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's grounded in severe personal failure.
Mon 23:13:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Instead of taking accountability, people like to find scapegoats.
Mon 23:13:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ With MAGA, that scapegoat is.....non-white immigrants.
Mon 23:14:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ For some that failure is just wanting unearned superiority.
Mon 23:14:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's why my parents are in MAGA.
Mon 23:14:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Personal failures that they won't take ownership of, and wanting unearned superiority.

Tue 01:12:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then the woman's husband comes in and tears up the contract and says they're laying people off at the factory and he doesn't even know if he'll be employed next week.
