Tochka missile in Kramatorsk incident was Soviet era weapon with id number consistent with attested Ukrainian Tochka uses and not consistent with Russian artillery attested in Ukraine war to that date. But Ukr narrative of targeted Russian attack was disseminated by media

Ready?

"What we found is that, on average, the more meals people ate throughout the day, or the more large meals they ate throughout the day, the more likely they were to gain weight over time," said study author Dr. Wendy Bennett.

Furthermore-

On the other hand, routinely eating more large meals (1,000 calories and up) and/or more medium meals (between 500 and 1000 calories) was linked to a greater likelihood for gaining weight. Eating fewer meals and smaller meals (below 500 calories) was linked to weight loss.

Gunina is fun to watch because she looks a little like the Russian bakery lady offering bread or sex in Get Smart (2008) so I'm always reminded of it.

"Fatality" is interesting to follow, her rating goes up and down between 1800 and 2100 as games go by though she usually wins.

That they're blitz games (3 minutes each side) is part of the appeal.; 1/19/23, 9:54 AM

This is the kind of snow that will compress to ice nicely tonight when it drops below freezing.; 1/19/23, 10:10 AM
Curious George said...: Snowed here in Milwaukee too, but melted on contact. Air was above freezing and ground is not frozen. Nothing but green lawns here.

Yes. It's not groomed for skiing, but I saw a woman on skis. Why not?; 1/19/23, 11:19 AM

“The change was recommended by the secretary’s office of diversity and inclusion,..."
As far as I'm concerned, another reason among the many available to get rid of all of all such offices and departments.

Sans serif is easier on machines and for coding. Why the comment systems all use sans serif. The proportional spacing decisions are easier. Prpotional spaceing? Yeah, that's what typesetting does, automatically, if you've ever actually used an actual printing machine with cast letters- the "I"s are thinner then the "k"s for example. Typewriters have fixed spacing. And if you recall- this was the downfall of Dan Rather- showing "evidence" against Bush that was supposedly from the typewriter era- but was in Times New Roman proportional spacing instead of fixed spacing... Because the forgers didn't have a long enough memory or knowledge of such arcane things. Took less than a full day for those bloggers working their pajamas in their basement hideaways to figure the fraud.

Serif fonts are easier for humans to read. The vast majority of them, even including the vast majority of visually impaired.

I think I'll compose an actual letter to SECSTATE, in Bookman Old Style, to inform him (or is it a her or a trans?) that he's an idiot.; 1/19/23, 12:34 PM

I believe TiV is alluding to the litany factual untruths spewed by the Feds, be it the State Dept, Defense Dept. and a variety other agencies regarding the Ukraine war. Are you saying you buy the goods they are selling. I do not.

I am old enough to remember how we were told we were winning the war in Viet Nam.; 1/19/23, 3:12 PM
