@fartacus saidGot it. I see people saluting all the time. Even in trains and buses.
Ya but it looks like someone picking their nose so it's a salute, no doubt, but you put your right forefinger into your nose.
@fartacus saidYeah, that's me, pretend to know what the plan is. Are people supposed to salute me as I pass out? err, ... pass by.
I'm sure we can find an officer's uniform around here somewhere.
General sound good?
You basically just get driven around and you pretend to know what you're doing. Easy job.
@fartacus saidI don't like my mind. What battalion do I fit into? I'll take the other one, thank you.
No but we will seperate everyone into like minded battalions. Shirts and Skins kinda thing ya know?
@fartacus saidHmm, chocolate, very tempting. Is circum-schism a requirement to join ?
Free costume of your choice. Well pay for it if we can find it. You have to provide your own weapons though.
Bologna sandwiches twice a day and all the chocolates you can eat. (We found an old warehouse full of old chocolates from before COVID) Still good if you ask me.
@divegeester saidHis minders may have pulled him off the site; he wasn't fulfilling his quota of likes!
Probably either locked up or died under a hail of FBI bullets.
@suzianne said@metalbrain wasn’t getting any traction here with his incessant America bashing and conspiracy theories. I expect he’s moved over to twitter; since Musk took it over, twitter has stopped self-policing stupidity and started actively promoting it. Musk may be a tech genius, but politically he’s is a dope. Muskovites fall for @metalbrain’s type of posts.
Who?
Can't say as I miss him.
@david-burton saidDachshund: Weasel hunter.
I see everyone as a breed of dog Pondy is obviously a german shepherd/doberman cross, Drew a Polish greyhound/Corgi cross,Gravedigger a Mutt crossbreed mongrell,Torrun A Beautiful Valhund Stees is a Labrador Retriever(for the golf balls) Suzie A catahoula leopard dog/coonhound cross...not to be messed with,Rusty St Johns water hound (Tea Totall),The Duke is obviously a S ...[text shortened]... a Shih Tzu (not sure about the spelling).Oh and me Obviously A Dachshund (german Translation please.
@suzianne saidNo. If you are on a train going at c and you turn on the headlights, no light from the train's headlights going in the same direction as the train can go faster than the train is already going, because the speed of light is not cumulative.
If you were on the train you'd see the "headlights" go forward like they do on a car, because to you, it seems you are stationary and the universe is going past you at "c".
This is the magic of "relativity".
@congruent saidOn top of that, Korchnoi hasn't been a Russian citizen for quite some time now,
Just seen an interesting take, in Russian sounds something like Korchni the "o" normally silent. Depending on whether you are German, French, Swiss etc the name can be spelt differently.
How do you spell 'Korchnoi'? The questions rears its ugly head from time to time on chess forums and blogs. At first, it seems a very straightforward matter: you just transcribe the lett ...[text shortened]... diately hear, from their intonation and other clues, that the speaker is in fact not Russian at all.
@mchill saidApparently they see themselves as an endangered species. 'You will not replace us!'
One of the crowning achievements in the US was the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (signed by a Republican - Nixon) which has saved many iconic species like the whooping crane, the bald eagle, and the red-cockaded woodpecker.
I agree, though Nixon wasn't very popular, he had some notable achievements. Could you see today's MAGA crowd backing an Endangered Species Act? - - NOT!
@mchill saidI think it is highly suspicious that Trump will not reveal his sources of income, as previous presidential candidates have done. It is important for the electorate to know, to whom a candidate is beholden, before voting.
Donald Trump’s Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company behind his Truth Social network that made its Wall Street debut last week, had to be kept afloat in 2022 through a series of emergency loans provided, in part, by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny as part of a federal investigation into insider trading,
