I think the reason here is a lot higher risk of pissing off Russia, but I'm not sure if other countries bombed during the Obama administration had a high Russian presence.

Regardless yeah, no more political discussion from me. :V

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a setup. Not only did the left not care that Obama was bombing Syria, the Russians didn't either. Combine that with the huge numbers of troops the rest of the world is pumping into Poland and around the black sea, and it kinda feels like something is up that has much less to do with Syria than would be immediately evident.

The other thing to consider is that there's UN-documented evidence of both sides using chemical weapons since 2013. This isn't new or even unreported.

Without getting too detailed, I'd suggest keeping an eye on Turkey and seeing what happens there.

Though I gotta say:

"OH NOES, GAS ATTACKS! TRUMP SHOULD DO SOMETHING!"

*Trump does something*

"WARMONGERING ASSHOLE! WHY WOULD HE BOMB SYRIA? NO ONE WANTED HIM TO DO ANYTHING!"

The left are fun people.
Gone. Cheers guys.

so after this post let's move this to the political discussion thing


as someone who initially was pissed about the attack I am much less so now that I've gotten more info. Initially why I was pissed about the attack was that it was presented as having done nothing.

In truth it looks like severe damage was done, though nothing that disallows the use of the airfield since the bombs neccessary to do that amount of damage are evidently only capable of being used from manned planes which we didn't want to risk. So something was actually accomplished, but most places are presenting it as nothing of value was done which is why I think a lot of people are pissed about it.

Changing subject because eh, my only concern here is whether Russia gets pissed off.

Recently got a little folding saw thingy, intending to carry it in my backpack. Main draw is it's within the legal limit for blade length here in Texas, because I figure if any law would cover carrying a folding saw, it'd be knife law. Then I decide to tst it when I get home.

The target was a good old, bog-standard cheap plywood broomstick I had on hand. Folding saw took a bit because it kept binding up, partly because it seems to be too thin.

So I decide to test some other stuff to compare it. Had a fairly beefy-looking leatherman-style tool with a "saw" blade. Little bitch couldn't even cut up to half its blade width.

So then I get the little wire saw I've never really tested, that's been in my backpack for years. I had to pin the stick don with a boot, but it bound up a lot less than the folding saw, in ways that didn't require me to pull the saw free entirely, and it took half the time to cut through. I honestly figured it'd be the shittier of the three.

Fuck the knife length laws! I carried a short sword around for three days! No I didn't. That was a lie.
I did carry a baseball bat, a short bow, and a pickaxe around on separate occasions though. You know those looks you get when you are carrying a pickaxe? Like honey sweet nectar. Baseball bat? Naw, too normal. Short bow? Naw, people don't notice that for some reason. Pickaxe? Holy fuck, they look at you like you are going to go apeshit on them. I love it. You owe it to yourself to, at least once in your life, walk down the street with a pickaxe on your shoulder. It's like a comedian said about walking a pitbull.

Do not own a pickaxe but I could walk around with my shotgun around legally, but is it worth it? Probably a tad too extreme...

Oh, easy.

Step 1: Go out and use your meager funds to acquire some really nice clothing. Split any change you have left into as thick of a wad of singles as you can.

Step 2: Drive or get a ride to Chicago. It's only like 400 miles away, which is considered walking distance in Canada, so I'll leave the details of how you'll do this up to you.

Step 3: Make your way over to West Englewood. Specifically, you'll wanna end up outside of a place called the Sexty Sex, which is just off west 65th. Since you made it 400 miles without help, I'm pretty sure you can find your way there.

Step 4: Now, they probably won't let you in the bar, so what you're gonna wanna do is pace back and forth outside. If it's earlier than 11 PM, do this in front of the bar. Otherwise, there is a small alley next to it you should focus on pacing.

Step 5: Whenever a customer comes out, ask them if they know where you can score some gear. Every time you ask someone this, make sure to flash your giant roll of singles - the key is to do so non-chalantly, while still being incautious and quick enough that the person you are talking to can't really tell you only have $60.

Step 6: Someone with a gun will be along shortly.

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a setup. Not only did the left not care that Obama was bombing Syria, the Russians didn't either. Combine that with the huge numbers of troops the rest of the world is pumping into Poland and around the black sea, and it kinda feels like something is up that has much less to do with Syria than would be immediately evident.

The other thing to consider is that there's UN-documented evidence of both sides using chemical weapons since 2013. This isn't new or even unreported.

So something was actually accomplished, but most places are presenting it as nothing of value was done which is why I think a lot of people are pissed about it.

I personally would be more irate that he ran on a totally "let's not get further involved in our mess" platform, then changed his mind when Facebook told him to.

Realistically though, it didn't do anything of value. The huge majority of chemical attacks that have happened in Syria have been rocket based. Really, beyond the official statement that connects the airfield to the gas attack, we don't really have any evidence at all that it was launched from there.

Even if it had been, he killed about 7 people (which according to the media were either Russians, civilians, or actual terrorists), and at best, put a single airfield out of Syria's 21 public military airfields out of commission for a little while. Besides that, the shittiest plane (IMO) in the Syrian arsenal capable of ground attack is probably the Yak-130. It's got a range of something like 2000 KM. Given that Syria is about the size of the state of washington (albiet a different shape), a quick glance at google maps seems to indicate, using their scale system, that even a shitty trainer like the Yak can hit pretty much any target in the country with a few bombs strapped to it.

So yeah, the attack literally did nothing. Which I think would have been better accomplished by actually doing nothing.

Welp. It turns out that Notepad++ editing of MP3s has its limits. You can cut out stuff, but copying to extend it...no. First time I tried I was adding in a section from another MP3, so I thought maybe that was why the added section sounded royally fucked up. But nope, even from the same song the end result is FUBAR.
