Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 22hI think it's a lie to hold back midterm tide How is the diesel going to get to the US? Sea ice minimum happens in mid-September. Transneft Vladivostok and Murmansk is at full capacity already What diesel? Russia doesn't have enough refinery capacity online to satisfy their own domestic demand 010
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 23h"The check is in the mail" Even if this is real, it wouldn't show up until after the midterms. But Russia doesn't have enough diesel and gasoline for their own domestic demands with war demands on top of that. Ice will be closing off the Arctic soon, as well 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Putin puts on his high heels whenever he is in the company of normal height men. You can look up pictures where Putin and Medvedev are in gym shoes and the Drunk Dwarf is notably taller and then receiving lines where Bunker Grandpa is a fraction taller 140
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Kansas is one of the states with the steepest rise in diesel prices and it has come at the worst time for farmers at the peak of the harvest and winter wheat sowing season 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh, but I hear you say, "why didn't the thing trigger when it hit the ground?" Because this is what the PG-7 looks like with an FPV drone mounted on it (no trigger switch mounted for safety). In most configurations, the whiskers won't touch the ground 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Have you seen the trigger? They are designed to take shaking without firing the detonator. An unmodified PG-7V wouldn't even work because it is unsafed by the high-G launch and the forward speed of the rocket. An FPV isn't fast enough to activate the piezoelectric trigger Cut down video explainer👇 100
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 08/10/2026An alternate theory that might work is simply chewing up the fiber-optic cable laying on the ground with the UGV's treads. This would take far less luck and timing to make work and would drop the FPV right where it was, possibly not triggering the contact fuse 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's a very cogent question. The fuse is usually a contact fuse facing forward. If you butt-blast the drone, the fuse will be facing the other way and the PG-7's penetrator jet will be facing away from the UGV. This wouldn't help a human much because there's enough of a bang (and shrapnel) to kill 200
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It only works if the FPV is at the right height and looking the wrong direction. Hit the wrong part and you get a copper lance in the body Another possibility I suppose is running over a fiber dragging on the ground and ripping it up in your treads 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Maybe a baby version of "Poseidon" would do the trick. It would probably ruin the fishing and diving, though 010
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's about 670 miles closer. But it has the added benefit of bypassing NORAD defenses Too bad Pedo-in-Chief has been bad mouthing our European NATO allies like he has been 130
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 07/10/2026More like 570 But, bonus! It doesn't move through the NORAD defenses so little likelihood of a THAAD taking it out mid-course 100
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Did you ever watch Biden's speech in front of Independence Hall. You know. The one that MAGA likes to show photos of when they want to make Biden look sinister They won't show the actual content of the speech because it hits home Fox↙️Mediaite↘️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_... 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 06/10/2026By encouraging *people* to invest their own money in exchange for a guaranteed income stream far into the future (20 years), it created a market that ultimately led to advancing economy of scale fast enough to encourage China to get in on the act clean-coalition.org/feed-in-tari... 010
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 06/10/2026They were solar hot water heaters and they saved a fair amount of money As for making something work, you can see the effect of Germany's Energiewende Renewable Energy Act motivating people to put solar on their own property. It raised volume, lowered prices. See the knee in this log curve↙️Close up↘️ 242

It is the infection pathway Bubonic plague travels along the lymphatic system causing the characteristic swollen lymph nodes (buboes) Pneumonic plague is in the lungs. Early symptoms look like cold/flu. Treated at that stage 17-20% survival Septicemic is in the blood👇 000

Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 02/10/2026If that's the core argument, she isn't looking back far enough or with open eyes. There was plenty of "tensions", often, as today, one-sided. American suffragists were, in contrast to some of their British counterparts, vehemently non-violent, but met with violence nonetheless 010
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I wonder what Fomenko would do if he sets his mind on biology? Maybe he did. Maybe he started the "birds are fake" conspiracy? 121
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Women shouldn't be using the urinals like that. 😁They make tools for backpackers that you could use, if you're really determined to beat the line for the stalls🫢 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You can't even set up a tent within a couple miles of the actual meadows. You have to hike all the way to the general store, which is where the only road is. But, no bears. Everything went into the locker. They had poles for hanging your food, but nobody did that anymore Not my pics, btw 110
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is approximately where we set up the tent. No cars. Just rangers on horses with mules in tow. Above the tree line we encountered no bears despite Yosemite being on the other side of the pass into Lyell Canyon heading down to Tuolumne Meadows where there were "bear-proof" lockers for the packs 110

Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Putin can take his "lost cause" troops home tomorrow. His 3 day "Special Military Operation" fell on its face before they crossed the border on defective Chinese tires 100

Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Capitulation to revanchism isn't diplomacy. It is a mafia state shaking down its neighbors 100
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 27/09/2026See the other post where I mention other celebrities Just because *YOU* don't know them doesn't mean that they aren't celebrities in a certain crowd. Do you know who won the Grammy award for Best Bluegrass Album?Eurovision 2022 winner? The members of Korea's #1 boy band? The top ukulele player? 010
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Long before there was AI, there were whole industries dedicated to taking advantage of people's prejudices and priors. Checking sources and evaluating reasoning is a basic life skill 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah, I don't think that pedophilia is simply a matter of ethics today. It's a moral failing of the highest order I couldn't get this to collapse to a screenshot so 10 secs on each side 100
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian soldiers murdered civilian, looted, raped, and kidnapped children. That's the justification for Ukraine to defend itself. The war ends when Russia leaves Ukraine 021
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 22/09/20261100 As a Californian, I remind people that we are essentially exporting our precious water to them. But I don't exaggerate because I want to be believed Almond milk is the worst of the vegetarian milks, but it's a bit less thanhalf as much embodied water as actual dairy milk due to all the silage 100
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Bring this up with MAGA and they (figuratively on the internet) stare at you blankly and say, "I don't understand what you mean. Trump isn't a tsar" Like this 010
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Being a splitter that divides the left, making it easier for MAGA to stay in power. They're everywhere with this stupid "both sides are the same" BS, while pretending to be liberals 140
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The shift is already in motion. 30% of all car sales worldwide are EVs since the Hormuz closure spiked oil prices. South Africa is +500% YoY People very quickly started looking at EVs, showing interest in a switch was already latent (👇from March) in car shoppers 030
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You aren't going to "run over" our neighborhood roundabouts. They are islands that are about 8-18 inches high and have trees/shrubs in a planter in the middle of them And yes, everybody rolls through the stop signs except when traffic is high (schools nearby) 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Do you notice something curious about this map in the linked article on second-hand smoke? (you may have to zoom it's 6.5 Mpx) 110
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You are getting close to sane-washing with not calling out the fact that they consider the very existence of the programs to be the fraud and that MAGA regularly refers to and characterizes immigrants to be illegal, regardless of their status. It's why they applaud the deportations 000
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Puts on the both-sider robes, saves all its personal ire for Democrats I have no need for that disingenuous crap 011
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yes, you do What did I refute? Other than the idea that Tyndall was some evil person who ignored a woman for being a woman You didn't point out her accomplishment, the OP's meme did Tyndall's wife was his assistant, his cowriter, and his climbing partner, though they wouldn't meet for another decade 000
