re: Putin’s “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine has passed an important milestone

Wow. The last point I made was regarding whether or not the Russian army had been attrited.
I see no evidence that this has happened.

What are you referring to about me bringing in the US military?
The post above mentioned what would happen if the US engaged.
My point is the US CANNOT directly engage w/o risking nuclear war. This will not happen.

Iran & Venezuela will not illicit a response from Russia but direct engagement by US forces against the Russian military in Ukraine would.

I dont think you made a very cogent point there.

The data about Russian losses of both men and materiel are pretty well established. I'm not hearing much about endless waves of Koreans much lately, either. I guess they are all gone, too.

The U.S. will not engage directly - for many reasons. First of all, we don't have to. That said, whatever Putin's end game is, it does not include self immolation, which is what he would do if he ever responds with nuclear weapons. It's bluster.

We likewise have no reason to go into Ukraine directly when Russia continues to bleed out by the day.

And every day this drags out hurts Putin more than it does Ukraine.

Ukraine will never quit. Russia may eventually win, but Ukraine will fight to the last man, and that guy will take 100 Russians with him.

Is it possible that the Russians have:
1) spent the last several years grinding the Ukraine military down to the point that now it is not capable of resisting much longer?
2) Successfully avoided an all out conflict w NATO during a period where they were not prepared. Now they are prepared. I don’t think NATO wants any part of the Russian military right now.
3)Thru Putin’s cautious and limited approach won over much of the public around the world. The majority of the planet sees the USA as the aggressive, imperial force endangering sovereignty around the globe.
4) The longer he resists an overreaction the weaker the American position becomes. China/Russia/India/Brazil are no longer interested in the post WWII world order.

This will not end well for the US.

Alternatively, Putin is repeating the mistake of his predecessors by engaging in a protracted conflict that is bleeding Russia the same way Afghanistan bled the Soviets.

Moreover, the Soviets were in Afghanistan for 10 years and it completely broke their country. The U.S. was in Afghanistan for 20 years, and we just motored right on after it was over, stronger than ever.

One day he will be gone and we might be able to move past Soviet-era doctrine, since it's become obvious it represents a failed system and failed philosophy borne of 19th century economic inequity.

Crawl back under your rock.

ICE must have already gotten all the really bad actors off the streets already. There are only maybe two Hispanolites in that collage. Mainly just your run-of-the-mill North Louisiana rednecks, skanks, and ghetto trailer trash. Except for the guy on the bottom row, second from the right, who is going to have a hard time explaining this to a) the wife, and b) his co-workers at the paper mill.

Absolutely is a real diamond.
It's the diamond cubic allotrope of carbon.

Anybody saying it's not "real" is retarded.

Moreover, the actual time to create the stone is approximately the same in the ground or in the lab. The age of a stone in the earth prior to discovery is more a function of the time necessary to move through the crust of the Earth, not the physical process of heat and pressure that transforms the carbon into a clear cubic crystal.

re: Making roux

Posted by Red October on 12/8/25 at 2:53 pm to BigDropper

quote:
quote:
Paul Prudhomme's method for making a dark roux involves cooking flour and oil over high heat while whisking constantly until the mixture reaches a dark, chocolatey brown color, which can take about 15-20 minutes. Key to this technique is using a heavy-bottomed pot, getting the oil very hot, and whisking vigorously to prevent scorching, which helps to achieve the desired color and flavor more quickly than a low-and-slow method. The roux is then added to the gumbo stock after it's been whisked until smooth.

I use a variation of this where I put the pot over the high heat for about 15-20 seconds at a time, whisking the whole time. The key is the heavy iron so you build heat in the pot and not directly to the roux. It's probably not as fast as Prudhomme's, but it's quicker than normal, and gets very dark without forming carbon.

Also, I let it cool for 15 minutes, then siphon the excess oil out of it.

Good luck..!

re: Spin-off thread about inheritance.

Posted by Red October on 11/18/25 at 3:46 pm to bhtigerfan

The most important thing is to be completely clear in your wishes for disposing of all of your holding/belongings. Particularly in families where some of the children live out of town/state, and have limited in-person contact with the parent(s), it's very common for the local children to assume more responsibility for dealing with aging parents, and for the out-of-towners to think the worst and assume that the locals are taking advantage of the parent(s). And when you have an out-of-towner who is a genuine a$$hole anyway with no interest other than making trouble for everyone, it's even worse (I can confirm this is true).

You'll find that more often than not, the parent(s) are the glue that holds a family together, and when they are gone, all the sibling resentments and seething discontent come to the surface and can cause incalculable pain.

So, regardless of what your wishes are, do yourselves and your heirs a favor, and nail everything down in advance. And don't assume that something is too small to argue about.
