ElMaligno posted:Those are called empanadas in Colombia, the empanadas were more of greasy, yellow cornmealy guy than those pastry boys, and the places usually had some kind of green herby spicy sauce. I guess the empanada of Venezuela is more like that empanadas and all kinds of savory hand-pies own, tho

I guess I kind of knew this, but German military equipment shortfalls quote:His report noted that the Bundeswehr is far from being fully equipped, with barely available Leopard 2 main battle tanks, expensive programmes to upgrade the new Puma infantry fighting vehicle, no tankers for the German Navy during the second half of 2018, defective submarines, less than half the Eurofighter and Tornado combat aircraft able to fly, ammunition stocks reduced to a minimum, and much too little personal equipment such as body armour, night-vision kits, and clothing.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who served in Afghanistan who worked with Germans or any other NATO countries. From everything I've read on here, and in several different books, their equipment was routinely poo poo and was outdated as gently caress, especially their radios.

Yeah this is pretty much the worst kept secret in history. Edit: Reminder that the non-US portion of NATO ran out of loving bombs in Libya.

Probably the meanest a German leader has ever been to an American. She just doesn't want to pay her fair share into NATO, so so sad. What's the point of NATO anyway? What American jobs has it created? Angela, or Angie as I call her, have you seen my election map, won so many beautiful counties across the United States. Did you know my great-grandfather was from her, left this shithole for America and I don't blame him. MAGA!!!!

Remember that report of an officer charged in the case of another officer's death? Turns out they played Russian Roulette. They just somehow managed to gently caress up the basic concept of Russian Roulette. https://twitter.com/CaseyNolen/status/1088939318452862978

Eej posted:tfw you don't own a car so you can do the opposite of being environmentally friendly That means the equivalent of less than 1/4 of UCLA students call an on-campus uber 1 time per week. I went to a university where, aside from the exceptionally far away specialty locations, most of it was 10-30 minute walks apart. I owned a minivan in college. I gave way more than 1 free ride a week to friends, especially musicians with instruments, artists with projects, or sick people asking for a ride to the health center and/or class. This is more a story about the lack of ride-share posterboards and friends to me than about using automobiles. e: Ironically, one of the most common locations for people to ask for a ride back in college was to ask for a ride to the freshman/cheapo parking lot. Your options were a 45 minute walk, 20 minute bus ride with 20 minute intervals for a couple bucks, or beg for a 10 minute ride. It also got loving cold. mlmp08 fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Jan 31, 2019 |

Its currently looking to be about 3 degrees during classes tomorrow and its a 25 minute walk from the parking lot to the first academic buildings here. Would not be surprised if people called ubers rather than wait half an hour for one of the two busses.
