I'm blaming it on transistors. If we'd only stuck with vacuum tube technology everything would be roses. Remember when comic books were rotting the minds of our yutes?

Don't sell the younglings short, Barn. Like our fathers and their fathers before, we were once like them - loud, brash and full of snot.

Anyways...
It looks like blood drenched GOPers are finally going to approve some much needed aid to Ukraine tomorrow and there's really nothing Moscow Marge and her gazpacho bois can do until the next time.

I hope there are many Patriot AA missile systems with enough missiles to make southern Russia and the Ukraine especially perilous for Ruzzian pilots and their cruise missiles.

I hope there's a fucking skytrain of C5s loaded with ATACMS and anything else with wings headed for the area. Several large trainloads of Bradleys loaded for bear should waiting at the border.

Slava Ukraini!

Now a days all to common to see a table of people not talking to one another but on their phones. Kids watching TV playing games again on the phone. our community is changing how I do not know.

Call it the looking up how to use a hammer on youtube generation. Tossing an item when the power cord breaks it seems. Just buy a new one. Not even waiting for it to break, just get the newest latest greatest replacement when the old one works just fine.

We grew up working on our cars if they needed it or not. Building models kits playing outside all day only going home to eat or bathroom. One phone in the house maybe four channels on a good day to watch on TV. Also on the one TV in Black and White....

Games were with cards or boards with other people at the table .....

Another Ruspigboat joins Putin's magnificent undersea fleet patrolling the bottom of the Black Sea. The 'Cyclone' spins no more after encountering some ATACMs with love from Kiev.

"Ukrainian media reported that in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, the Russian Navy ship "Cyclone" was likely hit by a missile, which is a carrier of "Kalibr" missiles.
The ship likely sank. Six soldiers of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation were reportedly killed, and 11 others were injured. The "Cyclone" - a Karakurt-class missile corvette - entered service in July 2023."

Launched last July? It still had that new cabbage smell. Das Vedanya, Cyclone. You won't be killing any more Ukrainian civilians.

"French President Emmanuel Macron said Ukrainian forces are allowed to use powerful cruise missiles supplied by France to strike inside Russia on the condition the weapons are only used to take out military sites that have fired on Ukraine.

The comments, made during a news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, came as Ukraine and its European allies have begun to press the Biden administration to ease restrictions on the use of Western weapons to target Russian territory." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...fdd27f0a&ei=50

Good news. The US should send several hundred Tomahawks their way to complement the F16s in the pipeline. Patootie's palace in Sochi should get the first dozen. (grin)
