europesays.com/2161918/ Live updates: Explosions heard over Jerusalem as Israel and Iran trade deadly missile attacks #Conflicts #Iran #MiddleEast #MiddleEastCrisis #Tehran


I was going to move on to a new subject today but entirely coincidentally my brother, who is currently visiting Slovakia, yesterday sent me a supply of extra photos of lovely old Skodas. This is the 422 Tudor from 1930. Note that this car is right-hand drive. In those days Czechoslovakia drove on the left. These are from a small but exquisite Skoda museum my brother chanced upon in Trenčín.

here, have some pics I took a few years ago in Košice (during some official vintage car parade)

The silver monster is a Tatra 87, famous for "killing more Nazi officers than the allies" because of how dangerous and unreliable it was.

NASA Delays Commercial Crew Launch To Assess ISS Air Leak science.slashdot.org/story/25/…


We finally got #SissyCat down to her weight class. She was 2-pounds over weight at the worse. She is 4OZ under what her top weight could be but within the range, still.

It was not an easy task converting her from grazing to a regular diet plan with structured eating times. It took months and we almost gave up more than once.

At first, we had to feed her like 8 times a day in smaller portions and slowly skip feedings, stretching the time out.

What seemed to do the trick was, getting a small cookie jar and putting dry food in it and when she would get antsy about her bowl being empty or low and would start getting into trouble, just give her a few bits to satisfy her.

She got so troubled, that when we introduced wet food, she finally took to it. She refused wet for years.

She seems much happier now and a lot more active. Now we are down to two meal times per day with some spontaneous treats (her dry food) here and there

It’s like when you get a cramp in your calf and the only way to make it stop is to relax, breathe, and clear your mind. This site does that for my brain and my spirit.

Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it

They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Only made it out to Needles

🚤🇺🇦 SBU Transfers One of Sea Baby Drones to National Museum of History of Ukraine in World War II.

🫡 This drone completed several missions and traveled a total of more than 4,00 km across the Black Sea. Sea Baby conducted a “sea battle” with Russian aviation in December 2024.



who needs a gym membership when your house has severe structural issues thereby requiring you to build a stone retaining wall in the cellar and manually shovel like twelve tons of dirt as backfill to restore footing to your foundation, and when you're finished with that you'll also need to split stone wedges to fill the open masonry joints and repoint the entire thing

I will be done at some point and it's gonna be so cool

Oof. Serious work. And the conditions look damn near claustrophobic. Looks like your getting there, though.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran will launch about 2,000 missiles (!) at Israel during future strikes, – Al Arabiya with reference to the Iranian army.

❗️Iran is preparing to attack US military bases in the Middle East in the near future.



TLDR; Irked granny praying and concludes with a "Going to hell" look during a family dinner during a family civil war. Look at end of video.

Thinking about my Mamaw who raised me tonight and one particular family dinner where everyone came, even the ones fighting with each other and how, during her dinner prayer, she basically zinged all the ones who was at war with each other by invoking the "big guy" and them needing to love each other. I was around 10 and across from her, (barely see my shoulder bottom right.)

I'll never forget her "going to hell" look after her prayer. If you ever got that "going to hell" look, you really messed up. I only got it once in my lifetime. The main antagonists, several of my aunts were behind me and to the left, where she was looking.

You can see it at the end of this short, 20 second clip. The entire prayer was around 10 minutes long, she had a long bucket list. (voice and video slightly off.) This was over 43 years ago.

Ha! Love it. I hope the aunts were suitably chastised. But what even is a family civil war dinner???
in reply to Jude🇵🇸

@sister_ratched also, the aunts never made up and barely ever interacted with each other, esp after my grandparents passed away in 1991 and 1995. Two of the three died recently so it was a long Chambers family feud. All three were against each other.


Remember when you were young and you could stay up 36 to 48 hours straight without a wink of sleep?

There were more than a few years where I would get up at 6am on Friday and not go to sleep until 11PM or later on Sunday night, Monday morning. That was a regular thing. I've had two 30 second naps just typing this reply.

@paul I used to be able to go to a rave, party all night, open a restaurant in the morning, and still be fine to go out that evening. My cat woke my wife and I up at 4 and even though I went back to sleep, that brief interruption absolutely screwed me and I feel like someone stuffed my brain full of wet wool this morning.
