Speaking of, if you ever see Turkey Hill Dairy ice cream at your local grocery store, it's worth trying. It was recommended in a Cooks Illustrated (maybe Country) and I tried some when I saw it, and it's very good. It was also cheaper than all the other ice cream, which was a pleasant surprise.
The only two we tried were vanilla bean and the chocolate chip cookie dough, but both were very tasty. Posted by: Moron Robbie - Don't insist that I accept what you are when you can't accept what you are at September 27, 2022 08:17 PM (ikWko) 85

first ": CIA warnte Bundesregierung vor Anschlag auf Ostsee-Pipelines Es verdichten sich die Anzeichen für eine geplante Attacke gegen die beiden Nord-Stream-Gasleitungen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen gab es bereits im Vorfeld Hinweise darauf aus den USA. (CIA warned Germany about the attack way way back in the summer..hmmmmm) second...apparently blowing up the pipeline ("permanent interruptions of gas supplies from Russia") would benefit Ukrainians. I would like to note that Ukrainians were the first and only yapping about Russia sabotaging its own pipeline. So...who done it and who supported it. Pentagon/Uke project ?

Okay, that's pretty neat. I went to see where Turkey Hill Dairy was and if it was near anything we ever visit (it isn't really, sadly), and the original sheepskin deed for the farm refers to "turkeyhill", so that's where they got the name.

Maybe if they want it to look like the Ukes did it...but, as noted here and earlier, if Uke leadership is gonna start cheering on this development then they're about the dumbest sons of bitches ever in light of their own previous statements about stopping the energy flow if they find European support to be wanting.

Posted by: AlaBAMA Yes. I haven't spit balled some scenarios that are plausible yet. What is concerning me is FJB has been waging a serious war against Russia and blowing up a strategically important assets, both Nord pipelines, has to be seen as a major escalation by Russia. Putin has made major steps towards a full military mobilization with this latest draft and his chattering about using nukes is sounding more and more like he means it. Stockpile iodine tablets is seeming a lot less hysterical and a lot more prudent right now. We are sliding closer to an all-out total war. FJB is hell bent to make his bones by being a "transformative" president and big part of that is gutting the fossil fuel economy; blowing up these pipelines moves that goal posts a closer.

There's pretty much no chance that the Russians did it. If they did nothing for the next two months, Germany comes crying for energy and they get the end of sanctions, which effectively breaks the NATO operation in Ukraine, and the Germans would pay anything they asked. Now Germany collapses economically this winter, and the EU with it, which leaves Russia with no customers to the west for the foreseeable future. There are reports of US Navy ships in the area in the last couple of days, which means whoever did it either was them, or ran a risk of being detected by them. Further, just look at the way DC spokespeople talked about it today. They fully expected everyone to move on to the new status quo, where there was no possibility of resuming the gas flow, without asking any questions about who did it or how. Which is weird since Biden and Neuland are both on video promising to eliminate the pipeline. Posted by: Methos at September 27, 2022 08:45 PM (kOpft) 143

It makes zero sense for the Russians to do this. They immediately lose significant energy leverage over a chunk of the EU, Germany in particular, a propaganda tool to stir up civil unrest, permanently cripples an income stream, forces them to once again become dependent on Ukraine for gas deliveries now and in the future when things return to business as usual.
It makes lots of sense for the US to do this. The USA immediately deleverages Russia propaganda and shuts down German protests to reopen Nord, demoralizes people to seeing fossil fuels as a solution, forces Russia to use the Ukraine pipeline, possibly creates a market for US gas in the short term, hands the US and EU greens (is there a diff at this time?) a propaganda tool to push for "green energy" because it frees Europe from Russian control.

Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

survival is simple, if you're upwind, and out of the immediate blast/overpressure/debris field. stay in your basement, or crawlspace ling enough for the lighter dust particles to blow dow nwind from you, and for the initial high radiation to reduce. about two weeks. move up to 5 miles away from any blast, stay upwind or any other blast. filter any water through a 8 to 10 foot long sand and gravel filter no less than about a foot in diameter. food is another problem. i cannot do food to well. maybe cans from basements. long pig of the democrat variety is an option in the lean times.

USA to force agreement within NATO and keep Ukraine and all those dirty secrets Russia to support the price of natural gas market, and to make sure the war is ended with no other options, not just put aside for now The Euro-Greens to end dependence on fossil fuels and force the great rupture to bring about the millenium The anti-euro-greens to discredit the current Green dominated governments (requires a lot of good German citizens to freeze this winter) Turkey to force building that Ankara to Europe pipeline through either Sicily or Northern Italy AND distract the world while invading Greece Private actors to support spot pricing on natural gas and possibly bring about the WEF great reset That German politicians are claiming and Article 5 initiated by the US is unexpected Posted by: Kindltot at September 27, 2022 09:39 PM (xhaym) 284
