Reply to Berlin Won’t Allow Exports of German Tanks to Ukraine Unless U.S. Sends Its Own by Torifyme12

curious…. how many patriot missile batteries did germany send vs how many the us sent?

either help, or don’t. just don’t make ‘tit for tat’ excuses for not helping.

Reply to [Discussion] Anyone else struggles with following shows because of the increasingly longer breaks between seasons? by IBoris

it's rare that i ever sit down in front of the tv anymore... and, this is partly why. the last thing i remember watching with any real interested was 'the walking dead'. i made it through the first few seasons but, the seemingly constant seasonal 'breaks' killed it for me.

i know the show is coming / has come to an end recently and really? i could care less at this point.... which sucks because it was such a good show.

seriously, if i can't sit and binge watch the entire series over a bored weekend, i'm not interested.

Reply to NASA announces its unidentified aerial phenomena - A 16-people team — including an astronaut, a space-treaty drafter, a boxer, and several astrobiologists — will soon begin its review of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) for NASA research team to examine mysterious sightings. by yourSAS

i’m telling you, this is all complete bullshit! yes, sightings are increasing…. but, so is technology. there are more and more ‘skunkworks’ type projects happening now than ever before. not just in the US either. yes, they are going to be noticed more as our air travel capabilities increase. this whole thing, IMO, is more or less a rouse to goad people into pumping money into something we just don’t need right now….. the ‘space force’.

i am all for learning the ins and outs, and for funding research into things like interstellar travel. as this planet becomes more and more populated, we need to start finding ways of branching out. but, what we don’t need is to be cajoled into funding it via ‘scary little green men’.

until they land, get off their ship and start communicating with us, they are simply too busy, not interested, or have no idea that this tiny ass, inhabited, rocky planet, out literally in the middle of nowhere, even exists.
