Imagine if WW2 had been paused for 8 months or 1 month, how many lives would have been saved?

WW2 is probably not the comparison to use here because that would have been 8 more months of concentration camps and countless wholly innocent, rather than combatant, lives lost.

It’s time to start bombing the shite out of them again. The constant playing chicken isn’t going to go anywhere and is just giving Iran more time to dig its heels in for more protracted war.

How did you interpret unfreezing their own assets as us giving them money?

Pretty telling that we’re running through the IRGC like a hot knife through butter but leaving the nation army guys relatively in-tact. I think there’s some holdout of hope that the national army will assist in a coup of the regime elements. We’ll see how long that lasts.

I don't really understand what gamers expect with consoles. They want top of the line parts, but prices that are literally the exact same as what they were in 20 years ago. You don’t get both. The PS3 20gig (not 60) released for 500. Just inflation puts that price over $800 today. I don’t see how it’s realistic to keep that price point off of basic economics.

Not against anything I’m aware of. There’s a wealthy guy in the LC area that has an ac to grind against one of the judges there and has billboards all over the place attacking the judge.

They don’t all have to agree on every decision and it’s a positive thing if they don’t. Adversity breeds excellence; not a bunch of yes men. The only thing that matters is they support each other publicly which seems like they have more or less.

I wouldn’t put a deliberate miss past them. They would be so unbelievably fricked if they touched that carrier. The last time someone sunk one of our boats in combat, we dropped nukes on them…

That is some Q level conspiracy theory shite. Those people are dumber than moms who interfere with federal agents and try to run them over.

You’re not wrong, but it originated from the mod on OM’s On3 site :lol:

The kid from Washington is elite. I’m glad LSU didn’t get him.

Of the two, Williams would’ve been my preference but I think they’re very similar overall. Leavitt just comes with more injury risk. The Elon transfer looks like he has a lot of potential (definitely has the arm strength), just don’t know if that translates to D1.

No matter what, hard to see how the offense isn’t better considering LSU’s 2025 offense was objectively the worst LSU offense in my ~30 year lifetime. Even worse than some of Miles’ worst work.

Some math presented without comment. There were roughly 163m tax returns filed last year. Of those, roughly 60% (97.8m) owed federal income tax over the course of the year. A couple assumptions (a) potential scope of $1b to $16b in losses across federal and state programs, and (b) 75% of the funding was directly from feds or indirectly reimbursed by the feds and the rest from Minn (I’m estimating here because quick google search is unclear). That means the average cost of this to the average non-Minn taxpayer was between $7.66 to $122.70. It’s even higher for Minn taxpayers (roughly $10 to $160). These are a little skewed because some of these were Medicaid programs that even people who didn’t pay federal income taxes did pay into that system via payroll tax.

This is only what’s been uncovered in one state that is middle of the pack in population (22nd with ~5.8m)…. If you just took a proportional number (1:1 in terms of loss per taxpayer) and applied it to California based on population those numbers go up by 6.83x or $52.32 to $838.04 per non-CA taxpayer.
