GRENADE_MAGNET,

Why is our military so huge? Why have we spent Trillions over decades?

In part to counter Russia for sure.

Now we have an opportunity to proxy war the shit out of them without risking American lives while preventing possibly worse escalation down the road should they win in Ukraine all while using old munitions and equipment that would be decommissioned anyway while increasing production at home and . . .

GOP: Nah

GRENADE_MAGNET,

How slow?

How expensive?

GRENADE_MAGNET,

I’m going to go with Satisfactory.

GRENADE_MAGNET,

That’s a pretty open question.

What games were you curious about that have mixed reviews?

GRENADE_MAGNET,

This doesnt exactly conform to a mixed review based answer but as far as missing out, check out Observer: System Redux.

Got it free from the Epic store. Not my usual genre. Like a horror cyberpunk detective game with wild visuals.

You track down a killer, using cybernetic implants to help you find clues and jack directly into peoples heads where you fall down the rabbit hole of their minds.

I dunno, I thought it was wild and unique and not main stream.

If you get it make sure It’s the system redux version, they added ray tracing and MASSIVELY upgraded the visuals and added some story.

GRENADE_MAGNET,

It is

GRENADE_MAGNET,

We’ve spent Trillions to counter Russia overvthe decades.

To support Ukraine in a proxy war that weakens, destabilizes or destroys Russia where no American soldiers die and we get to test out our arsenal in a real world scenario is a worthwhile investment not to mention the moral and humanitarian aspect.

Do we have problems at home? Yes but that’s never been a good enough reason to reduce military spending.

I do think the military budget is out of control and more money should be appropriated to the issues that matter like healthcare but at this moment in time we should absolutely continue to support Ukraine.

We are the world leaders and other countries follow. We can’t let our support erode. We can’t let Russia win this one.

GRENADE_MAGNET,

You took that in a broader sense. What I specifically meant by that was noone would provide Ukraine with tanks unless the U.S. offered them first.

The Flowfold - A thin, durable wallet made in Maine from recycled sail cloth (slrpnk.net)

For most of my life, I’d used cheap leather wallets from places like Walmart and Kmart. Even with a small amount of cash and a few cards, I always felt they were quite bulky, and within a couple years would start to become frayed and tattered looking....

GRENADE_MAGNET,

I’ve been using an All-ett wallet for about 15 years. Similar idea. I can understand why you’re so jazzed, slim wallets are great and you can carry them in your front pocket.

All-ett Wallets

GRENADE_MAGNET,

Ok, you have to try them with President brand butter. It’s a cultured butter from France. It’s the most buttery tasting butter my tastebuds have ever tasted. It’s all I buy now.

I’ve seen it at Publix and Walmart. If you can find it give it a try. It’s better than Kerrygold.

GRENADE_MAGNET,

This actually close to the truth in Florida.

When we have tropical storms and very wet weather Gallinipper mosquitos come out and they’re enormous.

Had one land on my arm once and you could feel it plop down.

They are also active during the day so there’s nowhere to hide.

GRENADE_MAGNET,

All about the horsey sauce

GRENADE_MAGNET,

Solar power is technically nuclear …

GRENADE_MAGNET,

I’m definitely feeling this.

My schedule makes it hard to play online with people I know and I hate playing with randos.

I switched to single player games on easy mode just to be able to make progress and get through some of my huge backlog of games.

It is starting to feel a little forced though.

GRENADE_MAGNET,

I get your point but at this point I get more satisfaction simply progressing and completing rather than overcoming harder difficulties. It’s a trade off I guess but I have a huge anount of games I haven’t even played so I guess It’s quantity over quality given my free time and that’s ok, I can change the difficulty back at any time but yes, I’m sure it impacts the enjoyment from the gameplay itself.

GRENADE_MAGNET, (edited )

Are you me?

The green onion teriyaki sauce is fantastic. I mix it into ground turkey and make burgers on the grill.

On the sauce tip we’ve gravitated to SBR. It’s dark and smokey like bulls eye but sweeter.

For chicken I really like grill mates sweet and smokey rub

GRENADE_MAGNET,

Don’t forget French’s crispy fried onions.

    We had a few sets of rats when I was younger.

    Sweet and special little pets but their short life spans made the heartbreak too frequent.

    We stopped after the second pair passed. RIP Peaches and Pebbles.

    Savor every minute.

    GRENADE_MAGNET,

    That’s definitely cake.

    GRENADE_MAGNET,

    Didn’t think of that but damn you’re right!

    GRENADE_MAGNET,

    It is at sunset but I think the term is due to them appearing opposite of the sun. This pic was taken facing East with the sun setting in the West.

    Crepuscular rays are a thing too but appear in the same direction as the sun.

    GRENADE_MAGNET,

    Nice! I caught one in the morning once.
