    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    If it were up to me I'd throw absolutely everything at any place putin has been known to frequent before I agreed to any peace deal. Literally everything that goes boom directed at his favourite places. Really think ending putin ends this the fastest way, best way, possible for everyone.

    Snow forecast for the Bills game. Lake effect snow is so bizarre, a little change in the wind direction can be the difference between 4 feet of snow and 8 inches of snow. Orchard park to downtown Buffalo is about a 15 minute drive, Buffalo gets no snow, Orchard Park where the game is gets at...

    Shocking finish by the Bears. Coach has to call timeout when it's clear there isn't enough time for a play and to stop the clock, should have called it by 6 seconds and at least tried the fieldgoal

    We're being warned of a potential mega snowstorm near Orchard Park (Buffalo) this weekend. Lake effect snow will bring 1 - 4+ feet of snow somewhere near the stadium. I say somewhere as they don't know where these thin bands of lake effect snow will hit until much closer to them hitting. So...

    Senators are on 6 year terms, they're not really beholden to Trump. Trumps power will slowly go down from here on out, his name will never again appear on a ballot and his supporters have shown they mainly come out when he is running.

    Interesting article that discusses how South Korea may play into Ukraine's defence in the upcoming year and why losing the US may not be a death blow https://gwynnedyer.com/2024/ukraine-war-south-korea-to-the-rescue/ Gwynne Dyer's articles are in my local paper, no idea if he has...

    Looks like a good time, the stadium was absolutely rocking last night, the absolute joy and mayhem after Josh's game winning touchdown is the stuff that we all dream of at live sporting events. So many times we go and don't experience anything like that, but when it happens it's incredible.

    [Politics] How do you deal with people obsessed with political views?

    Ask a follow up question about policy... every time they do it... ask a follow up question about what specific policy they are talking about... every time. Or do what a lot of people in the US do, just say uh huh and talk about something else.

    Tyler Bass kicking a 61 yard game winning field goal for the Bills is the closest I have ever been to dropping from a heart attack at a sporting event. What a moment, stadium went crazy, what a blast. On to the Colts next week for the Bills, then KC at home. Kc could well be 9 - 0 for that...

    Colts have the Vikings this week and my Bills the following week. A big ask on Flacco. I don't follow the Colts and I'm just looking at his stats now, did he start 3 games this year already? If so what on earth did he do after the 20-17 win over Tenn on Oct 13 to be removed for Richardson...

    And the Colts announce a switch to almost 40 year old Joe Flacco, even without Diggs the Texans should easily win the division.

    Walking along a dirt road in the woods in Ontario I got close (40 feet) to a black bear that came out of the trees. Fortunately he wasn't interested in me and continued across the road and into the trees on the other side. I'd rather not have another bear encounter but if I do the black bear...

    Yes.. they do. My point is if you turn the audio on and listen to it he is not rushing, this is a thought out response, not a quick emotional reaction.

    I don't speak the language but what I'm noticing is that he is speaking fairly slowly... it's not some fast emotional response to being emotionally triggered while in front of a camera. He is carefully choosing his words, or carefully chose them before he went live.
