Lucky me has been a speed reader basically from the start. I cannot imagine how painfully slow 238 words per minute must feel. The brain has probably forgotten half of the story when the reader reaches the end of a book weeks later. As a teenager, I already read about five books a day. Autism has its advantages…

20 years in Afghanistan brought a regime change from Taliban to worse Taliban and cost trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives.

Changing Iran from mullahs to worse mullahs will be in the same ballpark.

It only needs one right drone with the right payload at the right place and time…

I have not seen those in many decades…

Yes, indeed. Can you buy or build a drone in the US? No problem. Can you get explosives or other nasty stuff to arm it? No issue for a determined group. Can you find an undefended soft target? Of course, there is a smorgasboard of those.

Just look at the list of countries that the USA has pissed off in the last whatever years, and choose one at random.

At the beginning of his term, the Turd was promising peace in Ukraine within a day. He was so desparate to get a “deal” done, and hoped to get a Nobel Price for peace that way - something he absolutely envied Obama for.

Then he learned that neither Putler nor Zelenskyy was a pushover apprentice like in his show, and the world is not a stage biased to make him look good.

Now he thinks he can reach his goal by “bringing peace” to the Levant, probaby by bombing the mullahs to Kingdom Come Paradise with 72 Virgins.

My prediction: This won’t bring peace, but will terminally piss off everyone down there, and might bring a new 9/11. Or worse.

From a conman like Trump I expected nothing less but a ripoff.

Some people read a hundred books in their lifetime and keep 30. The 10k books on those shelves only represent a small part of what I have read in my lifetime.

American TV was a news source?

When we moved in, the neighbors daughter was curious about the “new ones”, and asked if she could help.

I told her that I would be putting the books on the shelves the next day, and she promised to come over.

I don’t know what she expected (when we visited them, I never saw a book in their place), but she was shocked when she saw a large pile of boxes. I had just finished installing the first wall of shelves, and told her that we would have to sort the boxes out, only about 10k books were for the living room, the other would go up into the studio…

Don’t worry, Apple saved you here. While the plug is technically a USB C, it must be an Apple charger to properly charge their crap-phones. Anything “less” only allows very slow charging.

Did anyone really expect them to tell the truth? Lets see what the real specs will be. Maybe it is a repackaged Pixel 3 or 4…

I consider this as the final confirmation that he wants to bring the government down.

That was the mental junkjard I was referring to.

Their fault. Knowing maths is the best defense against banks trying to cheat on you.

Nope. OK, maybe NK, if you insist. And of they can afford a flag.

Americans are weird with their odd interpretation of “patriotism”. They pledge allegience to flag and constitution as kids, and trample both with their feet once they are adults.

There was a TV SciFi series for kids with some guys from the future arriving in our time to solve an issue, and they had cameras the size of pins they could stick anywhere to see what’s happening.

The fun of the series was that those guys from the future had barely a clue how to blend in in our time, with a historian of them trying to make them fit in.

How many people are going to die before they switch back?
