Don't project, Bobby. It's not a good look, and makes you an infant who's only argument is "I know you are but what am I". We all know you've had a chronic, untreated case of cranial rectosis since 2016 at least.

Meetings pretending to be hearings where random drunks not under oath give rambling nonsensical claims of things that aren't criminal or even subversive (like they didn't like the food served or didn't get enough free food...or like ballot curing which is allowed by law and is a decades old procedure), and ignorant accusations about counting procedures, etc, all of which are directly contradicted by verifiable facts or specifically allowed under the law? I saw more than was necessary to discard the words of liars and ignorant morons 100%.

100% is easily explained away, especially when >95% recanted when asked to testify under oath and the rest are bat shit crazy drunkards. Not one single piece of evidence of a fraud scheme was presented in court. If you believe it exists, how do you explain Trump's team totally sandbagging their own case by hiding the proof and only offering up false claims and nutjobs? Why did they want to lose?

There's no 40% unexplained. It's all explained repeatedly by the Trump appointed professionals who's job it is to understand how elections function. Only willfully ignorant and delusional cultists ever saw evidence in the dumb lies their cohorts told, and they believed every word of blatant liars and as usual blinded themselves to any actual facts.

Biden won easily, handily, and in a landslide even with all the Republican voter suppression and actual voter fraud (still only republicans prosecuted for fraud, no democratic schemes like campaigns collecting and changing votes, no democrats caught voting as dead people, no Democratic controlled illegal fake ballot collection boxes that took control of ballots with no way to verify they were not changed or even turned in, that's YOUR team, Bobby). I agree, look into it and prosecute every real case to the fullest, a few Republicans will be out of office and more will be in prison, no Democrats. 🤦‍♂️

You're correct....Biden won thanks to Democrats stuffing the ballot boxes with their individual legal votes. He couldn't have won without them.

You're delusional. Trump has never once won an election, why would this one be different? He's considered the worst president in history by >60% of Americans at this point.

"Ah TOLD yew!"

EDIT: I literally gasped out loud when I realized they weren't trying to use the sandbagged lines to somehow retard the descent of the couch in a straight-down descent (which obviously would have failed).

If push comes to shove, feel free to utilise the 650 potential sandbags in parliament.

250kg bomb couldn't be defused and removed safely, so they had to detonate it on site in Munich last night. Couple of roof trusses seem to have caught on fire, but the pile of ~10000 sandbags caught most of it, it seems. Nobody was injured.

Suppose you have 5 schools, and their "average tests scores" are (40%,40%,40%,90%,90%). In this case, the "average school" would have a score of 60% and 3 of the 5 schools are, thus, below average.


I heart statistics. Superintendent Chalmers would sandbag one school in the district so that all the other schools are above average.

@shagen454
i dont know where you were on the east coast but when i lived in brooklyn, walmart was trying to get in and the community came out everytime to protest.outback made it in and closed within a year because NO ONE went out to eat there.
i loved that about brooklyn.
you didnt go to some chain supermarket for your meats,you went to frank and sals.
you got the best bagels from the corner bakery (forgot the name) or if you wanted homemade tiramsau at 4am you headed to ferreros.
all family run businesses spent the money they made right back in to the community,unlike a corporate chain.

and for those talking about corporations and how great their service is?
pffft (fart noise)
heres a story for you kids concerning the altruism of corporations:
in the 90's there were hundreds of family produce businesses catering to local resturaunts.
nobody would buy from sysco(one the largest rest. supplier).so sysco got together with such companies as allied and usfoods and they literally cut their produce by half.
they sandbagged every family operation.
so when you had the price of a case of lettuce at 10-12 bucks from the family,sysco could get it for you for 6-7 bucks.
that was too sweet a deal for the local eateries and within a year those family businesses were DONE.
and lo and behold that 12$ case of lettuce jumped to 35$ when those families were no longer in the competition.
which of course affected everything from prices to quality.
the corporation has the resources and political might to crush any family run business which leaves us all with the tired vanilla cookie cutter sameness and a lame landscape of chain stores and strip malls.an un-originality that drains the soul and sucks all the color out of any kind of uniqueness that once was the family run business.
most people dont even notice until they find their neighborhood unrecognizable.
people never notice until it directly affects them and THEIR tiny little bubble of existence and THEN it becomes a federal case of persecution.

cry me a river you self-centered twat.

its sandbagging it to say the level of corruption, when comparing passing around brown bags of money and focusing on policy based on financial fundraising for campaigns; aren't exactly the same

the same with being offered consulting jobs after government service ends

its no different than an escort having someone else take the money for the service of her company, and then "two consenting adults deciding to have fun on their own"

its all whoring

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

No, we're on a little hill - so everyting rolls down towards the neighbours. :0 But it is still raining heavily here - so who knows. Animals are starting to pair up.

You didn't return from your trip to a flooded house did you? I have friends up there who are currently sandbagged.

@radx @Entropy001

I think you're mostly right about the doctrine differences creating design differences. From what I remember from writing papers in college, early in the war US WWII armored doctrine was still mostly based on cavalry tactics. I think people forget the US only directly participated in the war for 4 years, and only a small chunk of that was facing German tanks. There really wasn't a lot of time for redesigns, and the heavier tank designs were often put on the back burner.

In fact, this wikipedia thing says pretty much exactly that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman#The_tank_destroyer_doctrine

If you attribute the trade offs made for speed and maneuverability in lieu of armor and firepower to doctrine differences, the Sherman still had a huge design flaw. Narrow treads. Shermans often got stuck in the mud while trying to flank, which neutralized their speed and numbers. Despite the greater mass of most of the German tanks, their wide treads allowed them to operate in terrain that crippled Shermans. Any discussion of Sherman design that doesn't include this problem isn't necessarily propaganda as @Entropy001 suggested, but it's definitely missing something incredibly important.

I wrote a paper years ago that was about how soldiers in the field often modify their equipment. I don't know if any books exist on the subject, but I probably have enough source material to write one if I were so inclined. My paper was only 15 pages, so it focused mostly on the Sherman. There was a section that showed how logs were often strapped to the sides of the tanks to throw down into mud to limit sinking...too bad the narrow track problem was often made worse by crews adding sandbags and other things onto their hulls to protect against HEAT weapons.

Kinda reminds you of under-armored humvees in Iraq now, doesn't it?

You're right about the quality of the Panther design, though...if they never introduced that tank, I bet the Allies never would have had to introduce heavier tanks of their own (like the Pershing and IS-2).

Alan Colmes: The sandbag holding down the hot-air crazy balloon.

The infamous sandbag "interview."

And so long as we're giving credit for LSD, I think Albert Hofmann, Humphrey Osmond, Cary Grant, Alfred Hubbard, Myron Stoleroff, Richard Alpert, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and millions and millions of artists, thinkers, musicians, and creators (with thanks to William Pickard & Clyde Anderson) deserve to share in the credit of the promulgation and appreciation of this wonderful mind-expanding substance.

Were these dumbasses not worried about starting a forest fire? I mean, it burned up his backpack, sandbags, his "military gear". Sounds like an incident that could cause a fire.

This must be the biggest load of crap ever on videosift. I've not tried the M16, but I know for a fact that from a distance of 170 yards it's easy to get a group smaller than your fist with the AK-47, without any goddamn sandbags. Can't believe it's that much more difficult from 200 yds.

"Even with such limited experience with the weapon I can recall being timed in the 1.5 - 2 minute range."

Anyone I ever saw in the Finnish Self-Defense Force could dis- and reassemble their RK-62 (an AK-47 variant made in Finland, main differences are the smaller manufacturing tolerances) in under 50 senconds the first day we got a hold of it, and most could do it in under 30 a month later. And that includes a 3 second mandatory pause. (Personal best 47s blindfolded, Something in the low 20s normally.)

Also (and I know I'm going to get flamed for this one) I remember when one of the majors in Tikkakoski told us about his trip to the US. He had been training American soldiers and couldn't believe how terrible shooters they were. Many of the ones chosen for sniper training were mediocre at best in his opinion.
