It continues to be enormously gratifying that Bradleys are riding off into the twilight exactly as they deserve to - torching Russian armor by a boatload. It remains a perpetual sadness that A-10s were denied the same apotheosis.

This is insane. 'For hundreds of millions of dollars, we pinky-promise we'll stop breaking the law that we're obligated to follow anyway. We swear!' This is basically admitting to what I found a month ago: Columbia was still violating the law against racial discrimination.

The fact that none of these perpetrators will get the death penalty shows that, in many ways, we live in a far less civilized society than we did decades ago. In a just society, none of them would live to see the new year.

The Cambodian armed forces fired missiles at at least 7 civilian locations across the Thai-Cambodian border. This is not an isolated incident, but a coordinated campaign by Cambodian Army units along the front, clearly ordered by higher command. It is a devastating escalation.

Could you dream of a better kill-zone for tanks than this terrain that the Cambodian Army is currently apparently trying to deploy tanks into? What on earth tactics are these?

It looks like Hun Sen, the President of Cambodia, posted these photos, including operational maps, to his Facebook page and then almost immediately deleted the picture with the maps (I can only find reposts).

Consumption of terrestrial Arthropods, at least some of them, was probably really common throughout human history. The decline of insect consumption specifically seems to largely be a post-industrial phenomenon. Relatedly, I know Aristotle mentions how delicious cicada larva are.

One in 6 Maine homes are vacation homes—which Census defines as "vacant for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use." The lowest density of vacation homes in America is Illinois—one in 125. via Brian Potter

This is interesting: contractionary monetary policy RAISES rents. Not what you would expect — we normally contract the money supply to curb inflation. But higher interest rates makes homes more expensive and more people become renters --> rents go up.

It's next Thursday now! Please listen in, I plan to say derangedly policy-wonkish things about property taxes, homelessness, and parking rules.

Depends on speed. The peak of the ridgeline is technically Cambodian; idk lines of control, but if Cambodia can get tanks to the top, it's a big advantage for them, and they may worry now is the only chance. failure to reach the top now = Thailand owns the ridge
