What's the deal with "Aid to Ukraine?"

I replied to him privately. Because it's off topic.

As for Europe and socialism, there is no point in arguing.
Because there are indeed deviations there. But they are relatively ridiculous. High social benefits, poverty support, and high taxes. These are two different socialisms.
Unlike the Bolsheviks, who stupidly took away products and grown grain from the peasants and bought weapons factories in the West. To organize a world revolution.
They tore off the thread and fell apart.
Now, after a decade of high oil prices,they want to fight again.
Young Russians, oppressed by dictatorship, are cowards and incapable of protest and free expression of opinions.
They are arrested and given real prison terms for standing in the square with a piece of paper that says "Нет Войне"
The next generation will be raised in the best traditions of the USSR as antagonists to everything Western, as they call us all.
Already now, kindergartens are teaching lessons in militarism and hatred of neighbors.

I wish someone would advise the parents of these children to watch some "Magyar" videos where our drones wind the intestines of the advancing infantry onto trees.
The only topic the people posting in here live by inconsistent values and morality and want to cover regurgitated russian talking points, advocate for murdering a foreign elected leader, add lines like "the truth is" to their opinions and ignore any valid point with actual references when it doesn't support their narrow minded perspective. It's a solid representation of the obese bubba fudd boomers who plague public shooting ranges in the US and are spending their twilight years being a bitter, consumerist cancer on the rest of the country.

Wholy crap!!! You take coyote control to a whole new level


Most people have a spotter and a scope, so the investment is already there. Its affective, but limited to LOS.

Drones don't have to be terribly expensive and they will absolutely allow you to find critters much faster than you can with a scanner. As a result, you're wasting less time looking and spending more time shooting. It's the single largest reason we're able to remove a significant volume of critters.

If you're going to commit the time, it's always better when you're seeing stuff.

FYI , on a other forum they pulled the ffl list , no vudoo or Herman ?
So the consensus is it’s sketchy,,,,,, it does not look like they are moving to OK , as one person put it that would be a way to stall people to keep them off their backs for a bit
Now , people are people , and we are curious about what’s going on in our small circle maybe even a bit concerned but as MB put it , we should be having fun ,,,,,,,,,I am like the rest of you in that I wonder what’s going on and I want to know what’s going on ,,,,,,, but will we ever really know ????? Even if they come out and talk , will it be the truth ? Why worry about it ?
I , for one, I’m tired of lies deceit and BS I just enjoy my peace now
So , relax , don’t fret , enjoy the show , it will be what it will be

The Hell with basketball & that "March Madness" nonsense- it's April & that means HOCKEY!

We have a NA3HL team in town and we help out at all the home games. Some of the players are really nice off the ice and others think their top shit. It’s funny because it’s tier 3 and most never go D3 but they think they’re special.

We get to know the parents and have relationships with them. A couple players actually come back during the summer to stay with their billet families and then go home for a couple of weeks and then back here for the season.

Anyway, how to get Playoff hockey without paying for it would be nice to know.

ETA: we used to go to Milwaukee and watch the Admirals (AHL) and got to see Jordan Tootoo tune a few guys up before he went to the NHL.

Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!

Well, if you are a protestant of European descent you came out of the Catholic Church one way or another, same thing with the Eastern Orthodox Churches (not considered protestants) and their history is your history up until whatever schism be it 1054 or 16th century. Maybe if you're an Ethiopian or Copt your faith was never a part of the Catholic Church, but just about everyone else in Christendom was.

BranchPrimary Leadership StructureScripture and TraditionSacramentsUnique Practices and Beliefs
Roman Catholic ChurchCentralized under the Pope as the Bishop of Rome.Scripture and Tradition are co-equal sources of authority.Seven sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, Holy OrdersVeneration of saints and Mary;
emphasis on Tradition and Papal authority.
Eastern Orthodox ChurchDecentralized; autocephalous churches led by patriarchs.Scripture and Tradition are co-equalSeven sacraments, similar to Catholicism.Use of icons; theosis (union with God); emphasis on mysticism
ProtestantismGenerally decentralized, with leadership varying by denomination.Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) as the highest authorityTwo sacraments (Eucharist and Baptism) in most traditions, though views vary.Emphasis on personal faith and relationship with God; the priesthood of all believers; and diverse worship styles.
Oriental OrthodoxyDecentralized; autocephalous churches led by patriarchs.Scripture and Tradition are authoritative, with a unique miaphysite Christology.Seven sacramentsEmphasis on miaphysite theology; strong sense of communal identity.
Assyrian Church of the EastLed by a Catholicos — Patriarch with regional bishopsScripture is central but with emphasis on apostolic tradition.Seven sacraments with a unique Eucharistic liturgy (Holy Qurbana)Different Christology and less emphasis on the importance of icons in liturgy.

Go back to Billy Grham's explanation as to who IS and ISN'T a "Christian". There are main elements, and then a ton of window dressing. The window dressing doesn't (shouldn't according to the Bible) matter. That is not to say that bloody wars have been fought over window dressing, or that Churches are man made things, because they are and we bring all our sinful politics into them, and we shouldn't.

The Hell with basketball & that "March Madness" nonsense- it's April & that means HOCKEY!

Just really started watching NHL this year. Also just got a NHL team, Utah Hockey Club (needs a better name). Went to a game on my anniversary with my wife (her idea). It was the Utah 6 vs Wild 1 game. We didn't do too bad for our first year. Need to go to more games.

Where is it best to watch the playoff games? Don't have ESPN.
