Forgive my scepticism, but I've seen this movie featuring your hateful, racist, entitled countrymen before. Spoiler... It doesn't end as well as it seems it might, before the October surprise.

The Nationalist Party under PW Botha in South Africa did that in South Africa in 1970s. But only for white women. It was to counter the "die swart gevaar". Tax credits for extra babies in families.

What a cruel, fucked-up country. I just imagine the slave-ships that brought so many Africans to USA, shackled in their own shit, in a dark canister. And in 2026, the slave-owner descendents doing the same. Shameful.

That was a shocking development. What are the chances the team makes some sort of statement on the pitch?

So maybe Springboks v Wallabies in the 2027RWC ¼s? Then Springboks v All Blacks in the finals.

In the latter part of the last century I had a business partner who doubled as a Christofascist (at every opportunity). I remember driving to a client with him. Trapped on a long drive. I had to listen to him telling me there were more gays because of the pill being passed into drinking water.

To be fair: It's kinda novel to commit a war crime in front of all the nations of the world at the UN General Assembly.

The American military is a bit like the rich casino owner arriving in a jewel-encrusted Ferrari to race in a bicycle obstacle race.

You’ve had 250 years to work on the problem. It led to now. How about you all start looking at your corrupt society and start working on a fucking solution?

To hell with you all! You'll ask forgiveness, and promise to be better. Then (perhaps) a blue mob will quail at the thought of not "healing the nation", won't get round to reversing all the damage, and a community of cousin-fucking religious bigots in a dusty corner will bring us the next Nazi.

NOBODY will trust USA for a generation. A handful of bigoted, hateful, underperforming, racist bible-punchers in the Mid-West can swing agreements away from legal and moral norms every 4 years. They will do this on the basis of who spends the most on lies. What a fucked up country.

But doesn't that lickspittle have parliamentary privilege, or some equally immoral lie enablement?

Ummm ... How stupid are Americans? Actually, really... Is there a scale upon which hate for the other can be measured to eclipse basic comprehension? No wonder the current mob is in power. I'm not sure that this amorphous USA blob should allowed to have nuclear weapons. Safer with Iran.

From my desk this morning. Also saw Cape Robin, Black Collared Barbet, and a Cardinal Woodpecker in the same branches today, from the same desk. Also assorted doves, LBJs, and a field mouse. The sky is visible in the background.

As luck would have it, just yesterday I drew some lines on charts. The US10Y now costs 200% more to service than it did 10 years ago. US30Y is 23% cheaper. Attached, find Molly and Blu.

Ok. So where does the money come from to buy back the bonds / repay the debt? Or is that a question for another crisis? Beautiful Husky, by the way.

You seem to have forgotten how your particular brand of democracy works. Trump does in fact speak for all of USA. He was elected by the rules you have used for more than a century. The world is on edge because of a bunch of religious bigots, and not the ones in Iran.

DeBeers pulled one of the biggest scams in the history of the world with fake supply restrictions to raise the price of diamonds. Vast areas of South Africa were out of bounds, lest citizens picked up unwetable pebbles on the beach.

Yes! But... as we see in the surprisingly detailed 3rd frame, the bullet starts off with the flat 90⁰ arse-end down, and so has to spend time aligning itself to a more aerodynamic travel. So there may be a gain or loss in acceleration due to variable air resistance. Measured in yoco seconds.

Aerodynamics in the vertical plane (that's up and down, Chriiis) affects both identically. You may be conflating feathers and bullets in a vacuum or on the moon.

Yeah, but you prolly can't go on a killing spree on weekends currently fully accounted for, or during work days. This is a quandary.

Would you prefer to do the killing on Monday or Friday?
