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]

The article concerning religious motivation for war is ok until the last syllable of recorded time. No, wait, that is too far back.

“The U.S. needs to fight fiery religious beliefs, not with more bombs, but with bullets of information that weaken those beliefs.”

Brilliant! That ought to stop the IRGC and its terrorists proxies in their tracks.…[Read more]

Reg?  No

Great Strega…I’ll take Europe and you moderate America…Ok 🙂

Thanks, Reg!

Yes, alternative medicine is an alternative to medicine. However acupuncture is just as effective when used in conjunction with aromatherapy !!  I know someone who spent almost 3K on a course of it for sciatica and was no better off after the final session. I eventually persuaded him to try the “dead hang” on the calisthenics bars in the local…[Read more]

Have a great week!

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]

@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]

Bring it on if you have a god on your side!! 🙂

Seriously Strega, that is not good enough. You will always be more that a participant to us all !!! I am making protest signs. We need more god mods!!

@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 🤣

Thanks Strega.

Good read unspoiled by a walk. And yet i love to walk and conduct internal talk utilizing internal clock. Tick tock metronome block.

I thought of mantra and how one college class on religion the first day professor said here we are AGAIN. There was some recent notion in astronomy or cosmology that indicated life might just repeat…[Read more]
