Free Hugs Cafe

freehugs.jpg

Nature reclaiming abandoned places and things.

Mount Fuji as an island in a stream of clouds.

Saving a moose who's fallen through the ice.

Head artist.

More 3D trickery.

Portrait in shattered glass.


Frog and dog play.

Puppy, sunset, and beach.

Performance art with smoke and skull.

Don't underestimate your opponent.

Inman: Stone cold justice.

A recent one, but a good one: It moved.


Asian Tiger Mom knows the key to encouraging achievement in children: Just deny them any validation whatsoever, no matter what they do.

Completely ignoring this child is spurring her to become a choir director at age 3:

This guy does not ignore this child.

There was some aerospace defense contractor work there for awhile and then just three years ago every startup aviation company wanted to go down there. They all went Melbourne crazy. But those companies all got killed off by covid and Biden and stupid decisions. I would have seriously considered moving a short hop down from savannah to be involved, but oh well.

A couple of years ago I wound up doing some tilling work for one of my high school teachers, in the previoius 30 years she got married and moved to be a principal at a middle school south of Eugene, and moved back after she was widowed and retired.

I spoke with her for about a half hour and suddenly realized she was wearing Bay Rum aftershave. I could not work up the courage to ask why.

88 I would do that Super Swing, but only with a pair of CZ Skorpion .32ACP full-auto pistols with the extended mags.

Strafing run on the downswing, one in each hand. Make that pool boil n' churn! I'll never get to fly an A-10 Warthog, much less make a 30mm strafing run. Giant Swing with Skorpions would be as close as I could get!

One for each hand, each having a firing rate of +/- 1,300 rounds per min. Or, other words, empty the mag in about two seconds flat. With virtually no recoil or muzzle rise. Would be fun!

112 dated a girl from Melbourne while I was in college. We went down there often
-
go on...
-

Black hair, blue eyes, and freckles. Dangerous. She had a 1984 BMW 533i, which was a really unusual car even back then. She took me to Disney world or land, whatever is nearby, as a joke, and we ended up having a lot of fun. We found a smoke shop near the "it's a small world" section and smoked Dunhills and rode some sort of tram or train until they kicked us out.

I liked Melbourne anyway, but it was probably even better because of the company. But still, cool little town.

120 In the New York Times story, many top epidemiologists were quoted expressing everything from frustration to outrage.

"We have been begging for that sort of granularity of data for two years," said Jessica Malaty Rivera, an epidemiologist and part of the team that ran Covid Tracking Project, an independent effort that compiled data on the pandemic till March 2021. A detailed analysis, she said, "builds public trust, and it paints a much clearer picture of what's actually going on."


--Oh, NOW you come forward and call bullshit. Epidemiologists spent 2 years bowing to their God Fauci, telling the unwashed masses to shut up and trust the science. At the end of the game "Yeah, we knew it was bs the whole time, just like you!"

Son, the Russians don't take a crap without a plan - "fictional Admiral Joshua Painter"

However, the Americans NEVER make plans, they just try and wing it as best they can. I mean, Biden didn't get up out of bed until late morning, and they finally got him juiced up enough to talk by 1 pm local time (DC). The Russkies started their invasion at 5 am local time (Kiev), which is about 8 hours ahead of DC. So about 12-13 hours passed, before Biden got his Depends on and faced the public. With a modified, limited hang - out.

366 No sooner than the EPA unilaterally decided to change the rules for certification of power generations permitting NGOs, environmental groups and other saboteurs to obstruct certifications under "environmental justice" claims, they went and reversed a 2019 NRC decision to extend the operating certificate of south Florida's Turkey Point nuclear power plants two rectors.

Apparently the generator owner/operator must provide, to the court's satisfaction (whatever subject voodoo bullshit that means) that the plant has complied with environmental justice demands.

This happens just when it is painfully obvious that the ability to generate electricity is woefully behind the demand curve and the junta wants to engage in expensive measures to fight and piss off at least one prominent OPEC nation.

And they dare call us Normals "traitors".

377 As a fan of military tactics, I'm pretty impressed with how quickly Russia dismantled Ukraine's defenses.

Made me realize almost any country can be sacked now in days. Hit the airfields, hit the power infrastructure, hit the radars. Little cyber for good measure.

Still need boots on the ground but not after thousands of missiles and shells pound the troops.

Posted by: AlaBAMA at February 24, 2022 08:48 PM (4fSQf)

378 It's reasonable to speculate the russkis wanted to minimize urban combat or strikes on populated areas, because obviously both are undesirable from their perspective - casualties, and PR headaches (and possibly more than that at home - Ukraine is not seen as an alien/foreign/bad place in principle, civilian deaths will not be popular).

Depending on their strategery, they could have/still can avoid these things, but there are challenges. They have limited stocks of precision weapons. If the Ukes tailor their response properly, the russkis might be forced to duke it out in urban settings, to some extent.

Impossible to get a good feel for things given info limits, but it's clear there has not been a general dissolution of Uke units or overall operations. Russian losses, reverses, and stymied advances are happening.

Russian press claims border guards offered little resistance, but that's not meaningful even if true. Senior Russian officials have openly called on Ukrainian military to throw down their weapons, or avoid combat. Russki DefMin today publicly urged Russian commanders to treat Uke military with respect, and to allow them exit corridors where feasible.

397 AlaBAMA, not so sure Ukraine's defenses have yet been dismantled. Expect a lot more strikes to degrade air and command infrastructure. While shock was an element, possibly due to their own limits, Russians clearly have a phased approach to the ground operations, likely that just about half of staged forces are inside Ukraine at this point.

I'm guessing that operations will be air/special only west of the river and Kiev. Regime change has to be the goal, wide occupation or control definitely not desired.

There are reports some Ukrainian units are taking cover in residential areas (may or may not still be residents there). Apparently the Uke Defense Minister urged anyone with the opportunity to drop molitov cocktails on passing Russians (twitter thread thought that unwise). And Zelensky apparently gave a conscription order to all men 18-59, though given current conditions it's unclear how workable that is.

Even FNC says the mayor of one of the towns handed out 10,000 rifles to civilians, I guess to show how popular the defense is, but it all seems like a lot of reason for ununiformed Ukrainians to qualify as hostiles to Russian troops.

Of course almost all claims are impossible to verify, but I haven't seen any Russian denials or comments of any kind. And there was CNN footage from that airport when the Russians had arrived, but before the festivities really got going. Heliborne arrival, parachute drop never happened, and of course airport not secured, so planeloads of reinforcements never got there.

451 "Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia; and let's define a little bit of what that means. Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that's what Putin has done. In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story - who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia."

459 Match Checksout, I agree, my feeling (which is just that, and based on just the scraps of unverified info we have) is that at best this is going "OK" for Russia. The tasks and distances involved are not negligible, this was always going to take a few days at least. We may well see much larger waves of strikes in coming days.

Impossible to know either facts or significance thereof, but seems that two major axes of advance in the north and east are not exactly rolling ahead, while the southern one from Crimea made much better progress.

Posted by: Braenyard

If Ukraine is to "win," it'll be because the median Russian civilian and median Russian soldier doesn't really have nearly as much of a hard-on about enslaving Ukraine as Putin does. Not sure how well the "Ukrainians are Nazis" propaganda theme plays in the under 40 crowd, but maybe it worked well enough for a week or two long war. But a month? I am beginning to have doubts about that ... but would have to last a month for it matter and it probably won't.

526 If reports of air interdiction are correct (IIRC 5 Russian choppers downed during Hotomel operation), then airspace wasn't secure enough for follow-on parachute forces, probably. So, could be an eff up, could be "enemy gets a vote" normal stuff in a war.

539 I think the Baltics are fine. This operation has specific motivations which don't apply anywhere else. The overall eastward expansion of NATO to Russian borders is a longer term underlying cause/rationale, but you'll notice Moscow swallowed all that. Ukraine is different.

544 If Ukraine were to prevail, it would be hilarious. I doubt they will; Putin seems committed to a win, and he'll almost certainly get it. Short of a Uke win, though, a grueling, months-long conquest that humiliates Russia would be funny, too.

550 377 As a fan of military tactics, I'm pretty impressed with how quickly Russia dismantled Ukraine's defenses.

Made me realize almost any country can be sacked now in days. Hit the airfields, hit the power infrastructure, hit the radars. Little cyber for good measure.

Still need boots on the ground but not after thousands of missiles and shells pound the troops.

Posted by: AlaBAMA at February 24, 2022 08:48 PM (4fSQf)


Reading the list of Ukrainian cities being attacked makes me feel as if I'm reading a WW2 Eastern Front history of battles 80 years ago, 1941-1943 (I'll use current spellings): Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Kherson, Odessa, Poltava, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia. I never imagined these cities and towns would again be battle sites in my lifetime. Very, very sad.

Ah, a reminder of good old times. I started a subscription to Strategy and Tactics in '74 or '75. I had to stop after a few years because my college budget couldn't handle that expense. I bought my first SPI game in '72 or '73: Red Star/White Star (in the big white box). Tactical armored combat between the US and Russia in Germany in the Seventies. My friends and I played that game endlessly the summer I got it.

558 they could film the aliens actually making first contact right now - and I simply would not believe them. Would not.

One of my early sub games was Kamfpanzer - tactical armored in the late 30s early 40s - where the Czech 38t was a monster and nobody had AT. I think all those games they made used the same scale, so you could pit your 1938 tank versus the 1970 tank and see how well they'd do...hint, not well.
