Napoleon, discovering out of the blue you’ve acquired a serious chronic health condition is a real kick in the arse. Reading this thread, it seems to me you have a positive attitude going forward, which helps immensely.

I’m pissing in the wind, but if the political bullshite on either side would be kept out of this thread while focusing on the military aspects of all involved only, it would be a far better narrative and much more informative without having to wade thru the swamp to find it.

The enormous orbital debris taking out U.S. GPS birds will also in short order destroy many if not most of the Russian and Chinese constellations as well. And, the U.S. would undoubtedly retaliate to ensure their destruction.

Good one Darth my favorites, aircraft.
Is the Clover symbol emblematic of a specific squadron?
Your link took me down a brief rabbit hole where I learned this aircraft was reduced in weight with no guns and used in Kamikaze mode against B-29’s. The Me 109 story was also interesting reading.

Hogan wrote one of the most influential golf instruction books of all time, technically defining the golf swing with great accuracy.

re: How Can You Explain OJ’s Blood Found at the Crime Scene?

Bob Costas has done a few interviews today revealing that OJ tried calling him from the Bronco during the chase. They did have 900 mhz “car phones” in those days, the electronics in the trunk handset in the car. Costas didn’t answer the phone.
OJ called because he wanted Costas as a character wi...

I've been channel flipping and parts of Slidell are wrecked. Power lines down, trees on top of cars, shop floor to celing front windows blown out, residential home roof and tree damage. EMS and cops are on the scene.
I'm not familiar enough with Slidell to know the exact locations. ...
