The International Thread: Appointment in Samarra

The Mexican drug cartels are still as bloody as ever- NPR headline: The Americas "Cartel violence in Sinaloa, Mexico, leaves 20 dead, including 4 decapitated bodies." -
US Politics - One Big Beautiful Byrd Bath
DireWolfSpirit replied to La Grande Mademoiselle's topic in General Chatter
Interesting opinion piece in USA Today- Anything mentioning Trump in a classroom, is now fair game to be shielded from your childrens exposure. I think thats a great protection. https://www.yahoo.com/news/thanks-supreme-court-now-prevent-090543151.html Reminds me of the Utah parents who instantly fought back against Republican book ban rules to have the Bible included as an offending source. -

Looking to buy a new truck
DireWolfSpirit replied to Here's Looking At You, Kid's topic in General Chatter
I prefer V8, my XLT F150 5.0L has the Coyote engine. 187,000 miles of exceptional reliability so far. Still runs silent, with the hood down you cannot hear the vehicle at all. I cannot tolerate sitting in anything other than a Supercab, its just too much of an exercise in clausterphobia for me. Fuel mileage is not a selling point for me with vehicles. I believe the old Ford gets about 19mpg, full tank I can travel nearly 700 miles which is nice. Its great in the occasional winter blizzards we get up here. I have to commute occasionally before the plows have hit the winter roads, so smaller vehicles are a little too unwieldy to be out in for me. Have had Cutlass, Jeep(s), Chevy Van, S-10, Fiesta, Capri, Jimmy truck, GMC Jimmy, none of these have even been remotely close in satisfaction to the F-150 so it'll be difficult to see myself replacing the old Ford with anything other than a newer F-150, but you never say never if the right deal presents itself. -

The International Thread: Travel Bans, Again
DireWolfSpirit replied to Fragile Bird's topic in General Chatter
I keep having those "Mission Accomplished" memories. Iran is not concerned with the tidey-ness of a bow wrapped, quick news cycle resolution to its resistance. Israel may have achieved air superiority and great sucess with U.S. assisted missile defense, but its foolish to think Iran will just capitulate. There is the potential for some pretty horrific retaliation that may materialize not only in Israel but perhaps terror attacks brought to our doorsteps. And such response will likely be in their own timetable. A little too early for rounds of back slapping imo. -

MLB 2024: The Dark Avengers vs The Legion of Doom
DireWolfSpirit replied to Manhole's topic in Entertainment
Tigers getting the most out of that $143 million payroll, not even half of the coastal teams. We could afford to give Skubal a $50 million a season raise, and still be below the top 10 payrolls. They built a winner, now they need to spend some Little Caesar's money and keep this thing riding. -
Watch, Watched, Watching: We’re Not (Thread)Worthy!

A.I. sez- +3 Yes, there will be a second season of Taboo. It has been officially renewed by BBC One and FX, with Tom Hardy returning as James Delaney. The show is currently in development, with six of the eight episodes already written. The new season will likely see Delaney heading to America and exploring themes of history repeating itself. -

Watched the Brutalist for which Brody won an Best Actor Oscar. Guy Pearce has a major Supporting Actor role as well. Its over 3hrs run time Very dark, depressing story. The acting is outstanding, but no fairy tale ending for this, if one is in the mood for some cheerful type viewing, this wouldnt be it. -

Bloomberg is reporting that the automaker Renault is in talks with the French government regarding producing Drones in Ukraine. That sounds like an exciting potential for contributing to the Defense of Ukraine.
