Why is our military so huge? Why have we spent Trillions over decades?

In part to counter Russia for sure.

Now we have an opportunity to proxy war the shit out of them without risking American lives while preventing possibly worse escalation down the road should they win in Ukraine all while using old munitions and equipment that would be decommissioned anyway while increasing production at home and . . .

GOP: Nah

I’m going to go with Satisfactory.

It is

This doesnt exactly conform to a mixed review based answer but as far as missing out, check out Observer: System Redux.

Got it free from the Epic store. Not my usual genre. Like a horror cyberpunk detective game with wild visuals.

You track down a killer, using cybernetic implants to help you find clues and jack directly into peoples heads where you fall down the rabbit hole of their minds.

I dunno, I thought it was wild and unique and not main stream.

If you get it make sure It’s the system redux version, they added ray tracing and MASSIVELY upgraded the visuals and added some story.

Baby Brezza formula machine.

Pre-heats the water and has a hopper for the powder. You can have a bottle of formula ready to go in about 10 seconds. Wifi with an app too.

That’s a pretty open question.

What games were you curious about that have mixed reviews?

Hibiscus

You took that in a broader sense. What I specifically meant by that was noone would provide Ukraine with tanks unless the U.S. offered them first.

We’ve spent Trillions to counter Russia overvthe decades.

To support Ukraine in a proxy war that weakens, destabilizes or destroys Russia where no American soldiers die and we get to test out our arsenal in a real world scenario is a worthwhile investment not to mention the moral and humanitarian aspect.

Do we have problems at home? Yes but that’s never been a good enough reason to reduce military spending.

I do think the military budget is out of control and more money should be appropriated to the issues that matter like healthcare but at this moment in time we should absolutely continue to support Ukraine.

We are the world leaders and other countries follow. We can’t let our support erode. We can’t let Russia win this one.

Are you me?

The green onion teriyaki sauce is fantastic. I mix it into ground turkey and make burgers on the grill.

On the sauce tip we’ve gravitated to SBR. It’s dark and smokey like bulls eye but sweeter.

For chicken I really like grill mates sweet and smokey rub

Don’t forget French’s crispy fried onions.

Cahoots

Nice! I caught one in the morning once.

It is at sunset but I think the term is due to them appearing opposite of the sun. This pic was taken facing East with the sun setting in the West.

Crepuscular rays are a thing too but appear in the same direction as the sun.

Didn’t think of that but damn you’re right!

Me: Had to google Quilcene River

Also me: Born and lived in WA for 28 years

It kind of sounds like you’re describing bipolar disorder. These cycles of up and down.

You said this low period always happens right after your most creative periods. Depressive cycles typically last longer than the manic phase which is what you described.

Not a doctor obviously but I lived with it undiagnosed for a very long time. Maybe read up on it and see if it fits your experience.

Whatever it is I hope you find some relief.

I’ve come to learn there are two varieties. One that stays short and one that grows taller. There are quite a few in the neighborhood with long stalks/trunks maybe four or five feet high. Both types look the same to me aside from their height. Mine is maybe three feet and It’s been like that for the 13 years we’ve been here.

It only grows one set per year. I swear It’s only grown a few inches in the last decade. Very prehistoric.
