I wager aerius is referring to the conflict in Donbas, where Ukraine fired rockets into heavily civilian areas. Was that before or after the "seperationists" in Donbas fired a missile that took out a civilian airplane? Concurrently. Odd to put separationists in quotes. Why is that? Becaus...

BBC NEWS Live Summary[/b[ An Israeli missile has struck Iran, two US officials have told the BBC's US partner CBS News Iranian state media cite unconfirmed reports of explosions in the central province of Isfahan, but have downplayed reports of an attack. Israel has not officially commented Video f...

Is Iran trying to provoke a response from Israel? :banghead: Maybe. Or maybe they think that showing off their military might is the best way to convince Israel to leave them alone. I think this is more likely. I don't think Israel will appreciate it either way. We'll just have to wait til after Pa...

So to be clear, you are saying that Putin DOES have some sort of special authority over ethnic Russians in other countries, at least as long as they're near a border with Russia? I'm saying the Ukrainians shouldn't have been stupid enough to give Putin a reason to correct Lenin's mistakes. WOW. Jus...

Agreed.
Striking back at Iran is going to bit them badly in the ass.

I assume that recipes in the book were aimed at the fairly well off or did the spices 'trickle down' to the peasantry? Peasantry? No. Minor Lords and some of the richer Guild-heads? Yes. Besides the fancier feasts, which included a whole chicken "gilded" with saffron sitting atop a whole ...

I'd always wondered why **THE BOOK** of Medieval Cookery, was called "The Forme of Cury" TIL that "Cury" is a very old term for "Cooking". BTW: There's some GREAT Recipes in this book, and several translations with good modern redactions. Medieval Cooking is far more va...

More of what should be a War Crime from Russia -- Russian 'double-tap' hitting civilians then rescuers with airstrikes On the night of 3 April, a swarm of Russian drones attacked Kharkiv, in Ukraine's northeast. The country's second-largest city has been targeted almost incessantly since the start o...

That's his MO, with sources that are either located behind a paywall, do not support his position and in one case, actually undermines it . He once asked if he could be in the parting shots thread, I have the feeling he'll be the guest of honour. :mrgreen: If he asks again about Parting Shots he'll...

Do we take Sisko returning to years old, pretty laughable talking points as evidence that there's no positive news coming out of Russia? Ie this is what their 'you're interested in this, so you may like that' algorithm news feed is currently feeding them. I know for sure I'm getting tiny puff piece...

Broken jaw at least, or should be. Critical roll for damage

Getting a 10-lead EKG done, mostly. The rest was just the basic checking of vitals.

TIL They have a way to hear a person's heart/lungs via Telemed. Not sure how loud it was for him but it worked.

TIL that even if they tell you "Your appointment is now TELEMED", they do NOT MEAN 'stay by your home phone, we'll call you there'. Oh no. I was supposed to go to Summersville like it was a REAL appointment, and see the PA while the doctor talked to us via phone app. Would have been VERY N...

Way to go V!

Sometimes, V has just the right spell at just the right time.

Ralin wrote: ↑2024-04-09 05:21am Man. Is someone suggesting that the Ukrainian population collectively wants to surrender to Russia as opposed to keep fighting? Because I feel like that is being implied but not said.

I feel like Sisko is being disingenious with his sources.

They found two scapegoats. "Hooray". What bullshit. It doesn't solve the problem(s) that led to this. Poland called the Israeli Ambassador in, so I guess they needed to finger someone quick to take the blame. Probably not going to help much, because I doubt they'll release the scapegoats ...

Finally, Ukraine has become a dictatorship run by Zelensky and his Military Junta, Ukrainians know this, and if they get unhappy enough with him they'll force him to flee to the West just like they drove out Viktor all those years ago so the war can end and Ukraine can get back to the business of n...

I trust an outsider's numbers to what we're hearing from Israeli sources. The damaged schools, religious sites, and especially the damaged hospitals are what makes my blood boil. Aren't those covered by Geneva? Aren't those supposed to be UnTouchable, and yet they've been #1 targets from the first, ...

World Central Kitchen halts operations after Israeli Strike kills staff International food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) is suspending its operations in Gaza following the death of seven of its workers in an Israeli air strike. Three of the killed aid workers were British citizens, WCK said. ...

Rather harsh, but hard to refute. What does Haiti produce besides cane sugar and rum? A completely unacceptable amount of telling white slavers to get fucked. Backed up with violence. Or are we just going to ignore the decades of post independence pariah state status they had to choke on? https://e...

I asked my brother his thoughts on the matter, as he'd been in Haiti in the late 80s. His comment was blunt -- LET IT BURN. "Haiti is nothing on the world scale, they produce nothing that isn't done more and better elsewhere. Let it burn and then afterwards go in and loot the body" Rather ...

Maybe the D.R should start shoring up their border defenses and patrols 'just in case' then. There was an article about DR denying entry to Haitian refugees, so they already may be upping patrols. I was never sure how the island was split and how porous the border actually is. I know there's offici...
