wrong! we are now entering in to the total opposite - ZIRP by default with only periodic phases of rate increases to "correct"

when the next recession hits we will be back at ZIRP and stay there for years

welcome to the forever-MMT economy

soldiers with no combat experience lead by officers with no combat experience

their military will eventually be great, but very few nations gain combat experience cheaply

You can if you know what to fill from other sources.

Like, the grill of a car. If we know the make and year, we can add detail with each zoom by filling in from external sources

New comment by oldpersonintx2 in "Court records reveal Sig Sauer knew of pistol risks for years"

oldpersonintx2 — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 14:31:01 +0000

consumer versions of this pistol do not have a manual safety

they have internal safety mechanisms to prevent discharge, and these are important if you carry with a round chambered - in a striker-fired pistol, the firing pin is under tension and is only being restrained by the trigger and internal safeties

this is why I do not carry with a round chambered, if you appendix carry and something goes wrong, you will be missing an important appendage

The war ends when Ukraine realizes it isn't worth losing 100% of your country to try to save 20% already lost

Between the "slava Ukraine" cheerleading, no one...not the EU, US or UN has a realistic plan for restoring Ukraine to it's 2020 borders

look at what Covid did to the US

multiply that by 100 for a war with China

both the US and China are very fragile, war would mean Greatest Depression^2

great people and vision, but the hardware market went apoplectic for GPUs at scale just as they were pushing a better way to manage VMs

in the midst of everyone making a land grab for GB200s, does anyone have time to evaluate their alternative OS?

Americans aren't choosing the EVs available. Why would Ford make more?

I am in the market for a new car soon. No real cost constraints. I have no interest in an EV. Why am I supposed to be envious of the Chinese?

the Left only cares about men who wear a dress

they've even figured out how to alienate feminists who are now derided as "TERFs"

given what they are up against (Trump), Dems should have something like a 98% approval rating as an opposing force, yet they still struggle...think about it

youtube is FLOODED with free fitness content, I mean, you could workout for five years and never see the same video twice

its all evergreen - crunches from five years ago are just as good today

everyone I know who worked as a personal trainer has moved out of the industry

endless free resources out there

and then the content connected to devices like Peloton etc

not sure how you can make a buck in this business

want to track your progress? look in the mirror or guesstimate
