Hit up the Big Lebowski bar while you're there.

No, but that's a good one. I was thinking of Dear Hank and John.

Comedy podcasts about death, Mars news, and a random small English soccer team.

To build on this: hit soft things with hard things, and hit hard things with soft things. Fist to stomach, palm to face.

But palm is safest to yourself if you can't control it.

Also, punch in a straight line. Hand goes from waist to face. Don't make any detours. Hand doesn't need to visit your shoulder or take a little tour out in space. Straight line to the target.

And of course, punch past the target. Through it. Hit the back of their head through the front. Kick their spine by way of their sternum. Etc.

Cool! What would you say is the main non-dildo application for self-propelled crawlers like this? Like what purpose were you guys envisioning?

I'd have figured that in a defensive engagement, land-based radars would provide a home-field advantage, so that stealth is not as useful as it would be on the offensive.

It's true that you don't want to be detected by an attacker either, but I believe that doesn't matter as much, since in an aerial engagement, the first one detected is the first one dead anyway.

So stealth is good, but not, like, as good over Canadian territory, as long as we're being supported by good detection.

That's fair, but I'm not fully convinced that the F-35 is so overmatching in a Canadian context. We have a lot of territory to cover, so we want planes that are able to handle rough runway conditions, rough weather, and have a long range. The F-35 is a bit of a princess, and I don't think its airframe compromises are as valuable in a Canadian defense context as they might be in an offensive context supporting the latest American adventurism abroad.

Having the ability to select lower-cost options that are Good Enough In The Context might be worth the higher cost of maintaining two supply lines. Plus, not every mission is going to need the F-35. Having to shoehorn the F-35 into every possible mission seems wasteful, if we can have a plane that costs half as much for the lighter missions, or twice as many of the cheaper plane.

I'd also argue that if all of NATO has the same aerial weapons platform, that leaves us vulnerable in a way that diversity doesn't. If the F-35 has a vulnerability that the Saab doesn't, then we're still okay. If the F-35 is ALL we have, then we're screwed.

Standards are great. Let's make sure we have commonality of ammunition and logistics. But some duplication of weapons platforms is a good idea.

There's too much of it. It Gish Gallops us and throws so much bullshit at the wall, it's impossible to navigate. I felt dumber just reading it.

Oh, I make two loaves and you bet we go to TOWN on that first one. I'll give it 20 minutes in the pan, then 20 minutes out of the pan, or, if we're hungry and impatient, I'll do a cold water bath in the pan and then pull it out to airdry as long as I can stand. :)

With this particular bread, if you cut it too early, it's kinda gooey. It needs a little time to come to temp.

This is pseudoscientific nonsense dressed up with ridiculous handwaving, as far as I can tell. Sloppy argument dressed up with fake academic jargon.

I usually leave my sourdough to cure for 24 hours before I slice it. Improves the texture. Lets the gluten solidify.

High hydration, so letting it dry out a bit is fine.
