Yeah I was thinking he obviously needs to start responding with chat gpt. Maybe they could just have the two phones use audio mode and have the argument for them instead. Reminds me of that old Star Trek episode where instead of war, belligerent nations just ran a computer simulation of the war and then each side humanely euthanized that many people.

Ah ok so semi-official, but still a joke, thanks for clearing that up for me haha

I dont know why, but for a while as a kid, I was convinced it stood for “Kill mother-fucking Depeche Mode” someone probably told me this and I didn’t understand it was a joke.

Oh nice, thanks for the explanation

Question—I see this guy all the time as an emote—who is he? He looks like that British magician guy Darren something…

Yeah sounds like logistics support?

I find it interesting that the loaned DPRK are operating ballistic missile platforms. Makes me wonder if part of the intention is to skill up some of the army units with combat launching exp, which is not the happiest thought, since NK has a continental US capable truck-launched ICBM since 2017.

Of course the plan doesn’t work if they all get killed by Ukrainian drone attacks, but NK has never been too precious about their rank and file anyway.

Wild, the French are giving their pilots MMO pets as part of the new DLC.

That is mostly true—many of the products that contain it count as having it encapsulated, so you can leave asbestos tile on a slab and cover it with another material. However if you go to demo the tile, and start hitting it with hammer drills etc. as a frangible material it can become aerosolized and be inhaled in the lungs, where you get the horrible health effects, so you have to follow remediation protocols to do that. Obviously hitting those types of materials with explosives is going to virtually guarantee try st it gets airborne.

That said there were many applications of asbestos, like old wrapped pipe insulation for instance, where the asbestos is already in a spun (think like fiberglass or rock wool) format, and those types of things need to be remediated just for existing as they are hazardous and can leach particles into your environment easily.

If you are in a building anywhere in the world that was built before the 70’s/80’s, there is a very high chance it’s got asbestos in it. They used it for everything because it’s cheap and durable and has useful properties. Similar to things like lead paint.

Haha yeah also that.

Wild would never have guessed. Maybe because it’s possible for it to print as a continuous sheet, and I guess it comes in big rolls, etc.

Man, I wonder if it’s challenging to source a steady supply of paper for that thing…

Yeah that’s a good point. Maybe if I knew I could leave to visit my parents immediately, I would agree to meet the next day in the alley to discuss the trash bins, then zoom on out. On the other hand, I would then possibly have the deaths of my neighbors on my hands, when they inevitably airstruck the townhomes all around me to ensure that no trash bins could be left out, ever again. They’d also probably freak my entire neighborhood out by getting on our stupid messenger group chat to recommend that everyone should consider not being home tomorrow.

I keep seeing this article, and I keep thinking this is a band.

Haha thought the same thing when I read it. Some of those that work forces…

Yeah there’s a strong theme developing. I can say that if Israel called me up, said “hey we’d like to sit down, hash out the issue we’re having with your trash bins blocking our parking pad behind the houses” I would definitely not agree to meet, and would probably travel out of state immediately.

‘He apparently told brother Bobby, not exactly a monk himself, "I get a migraine headache if I don't get a strange piece of ass every day."1

That’s JFK talking to Bobby about his sexual needs—or maybe we should call them his sexual pathologies, since he apparently requires novel sex in order to prevent brain malfunction and pain.

Note the bit about how Bobby was “not exactly a monk himself”

So personally, I see RFK Jr’s rapacious sexuality as him proudly carrying on an old family tradition.
