Ukraine war Bullshit.
American volunteers went down to Texas to fight with them against Mexico, but our government had zero to do with it. They provided nothing, and even the Texas cannons were bought with private funds, so yea, that was very fucking different. It was not a proxy war between powers, but a very...- Fig

My wife's is really flat and thin so it looks humongous. I said it was "princess cut", but that is a square (I just learned from googling). The issue is I don't know WTF I'm talking about. It is more of a cross between a pear shape and a trillion, but not so round, because so few facets...- Fig

Ukraine war Bullshit.
When the people who live in a place revolt against their government that is generally referred to as a rebellion, revolution, or at least an uprising. That is very different from an invasion by people who do not live there. That you conflate the two further proves my point. As far as I know...- Fig

Ukraine war Bullshit.
If there were English speakers in a small region of Mexico I would not consider them “Americans”, or be for “liberating” them. Oddly, this is a very typical excuse for tyrants across time to invade. I wonder if you were Russian if you would think the dream of so many former communists (or...- Fig

Police Appreciation Thread
I taught my kids early and often never to take things that don’t belong to them, and what I wrote above is actually one of my most often repeated statements to my kids. “I’d rather pull my own eyeball from my head with my fingers than steal something.” Spicer’s five and dime store was about...- Fig

Police Appreciation Thread
I’m not a cop hater, but any police that would steal should be prosecuted, and if found guilty immediately fired and barred from ever being a cop again. A thief is a thief. I know kids can steal being stupid and ignorant, can learn that lesson and grow out of it, but if a grown ass man (or...- Fig

Our Prosperity is Killing Us. - Better explained than I could
Honestly, I read The Screwtape letters while serving, and seeing things from the Satanic point of view is very illuminating. It’s also a very funny book.- Fig

Our Prosperity is Killing Us. - Better explained than I could
Read the Bible. Struggle is part of the deal when you live in a fallen world. Without it you become weak and it’s easier for Satan to get his hooks into you. CS Lewis describes this in the Screw Tape Letters. C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters Tags: inspirational C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape...- Fig

My only diamond story: My wife wears a 2.7 carat flat princess cut that was cut in 1907, so very few facets compared to today. It graded F flawless, and 1c loop clean clarity. Came off my great aunts dead finger in the mid 80s and sat in a safety deposit box till I told my mom I was going to...- Fig

CHINA WAR INEVITABLE...SOONER THAN LATER
ICC IS A FUCKING JOKE. Your arrogance is nothing next to those fucks we've sanctioned and barred from entering or owning a matchstick of the USA. Not even Obama or Biden were dumb enough to push on that rotting corpse. Leave that shit for African warlords to worry about. It's even more...- Fig

Ukraine war Bullshit.
That is a very good point. They're still operating under the Soviet doctrines of command. This cripples their tactical capability to make battlefield decisions. I think it's optimistic to think the next tranche won't suffer from the same maladies though.- Fig

CHINA WAR INEVITABLE...SOONER THAN LATER
You don't need to convince ANYONE here that the permanent bureaucracy in Washington is rotten to its core, and cares way more about feathering their own nest, expanding the budgets of their gazillion departments, and ignoring the wishes of the plebeians they rule over. We love our country and...- Fig

You are a very bad sifter of information. It's probably because you use some sites (algorithms) for all your news that reinforces your already ridiculous biases to the point where you don't believe that actual current events are actually happening, but everything is part of some vast...- Fig

Let's see who knows their way around a cut of beef. Name that cut.
I don't think I've ever smoked and eaten one like a brisket. I buy a tri-tip to make chili, and marinade it a long time before I smoke it. By the time it's simmered in the chili it's as tender as I want it. Not sure it works any better than brisket, but this is just how I do it. I don't...- Fig
