Apparently, when a bee goes to a flower, it leaves sweaty footprints on the petals.  Another bee can come along and smell the footprints and determine how long ago th…[Read more]

Enco,

I did not know. Figures though. Screw up a wet dream…

Strega,

Factually i don’t think it was only the terrorists who were injured/killed. Primarily Hezbollah killed and injured though.

Psychological impact was predictably potent. Without any preconceived notions about the enemy that shit is frightening. Pagers? Boom! Walkie talkies? Boom! Now throw in the indoctrination and obsession with Jews as…[Read more]

Jake, why was the pager incident a turning point?  People in my various circles thought it was an ingenious way to target only the terrorists rather than scatterbombing.

Words of wisdom, Enco.

I lack direct knowledge but i’d be willing to wager that the pager incident on Hezbollah brought out the worst fears/superstitions about Jews. Pull off a few more of those and the capitulation queue is filling rapidly. Use the delusion against the deluded. Trying to reason with fully indoctrinated Jihadists/Islamists is…[Read more]

Whoa, nice factoid. I think I’ll remember this. I mean, I want to transmute enough brain cells to accomodate a more permanent memory. Salamandering, too? I always recall seeing districts with only a highway-wide corridor connecting…[Read more]

Does anyone know, was this Hegseth, or Patel?

@regthefronkeyfarmer Oh well, now I’m de-modded maybe @unseen will talk to me again 😜

Enco, there was one day when the boys decided to drive into town (there are no actual roads to the marae, you just drive over scrubby sandy bumps till you get to a road) to get Fish & Chips and sliced white bread. The fish was covered in thick batter so I opened one up and ate the white meat inside the batter case. One of the boys eyes lit up, he…[Read more]

@strega – that’s a fantastic story.  The thing about pre-industrial people is their strong community ethos.  It shows how good it is for us.

Enco: the buzz is now snoring.

@regthefronkeyfarmer Apparently I’m no longer a moderator (!) so you’re on your own if anything gets rowdy 🤣
