A learning experience for all involved, Frank G. And the young man will be better for figuring out early what he really wants to — and can — do with his life.
How are you holding up, Fred?

AOSHQ: The DNC votes overwhelmingly, 254-99, to eject David Hogg from the Vice Chairmanship, citing "gender"
They insisted he should have one.

Thank you, badanov. I have no idea how you did that, but I was able to reconstitute the post.

Fred: the headline below had a URL that points just to X.com, not to a particular tweet. The tweet in its text box is about Chicago, nothing to do with the headline whatsoever.
Headline: Two Roma boys 14 who required a Romanian interpreter in court have been charged with attempted rape. The victim is aged 13

Fred: last night on live coverage a Fox News Lady at the LA protest got 2 Nat Guard paint balls one hit her thigh the other her ass. She shook it off and kept reporting.

Great marketing on your insurrection - Blocking a major LA Freeway downtown with Mexican Flags

Ok. All the LA riot stuff is stacked under Fred’s headline in WoT. Fewer for NYC, but that has one headline, too. Both are Antifa turning to a new target, now that there is a high price for screaming about Israel Jews Israel, but since they’re protesting that the worst of the illegals now are in ICE hands as they are processed for expulsion, WoT is indeed a better fit than Fifth Column. (I can supply both sides of the argument as I work my way through what Fred figured out immediately, so thanks for your patience while I catch up)

Agree with TW. I can almost smell the popcorn.

Fred: For information here, because I need terms formally defined — though you probably already knew.

I’m seeing speculation today that the Trump-Musk blow up is deliberate theater to reshape the playing field for both of them. Here is one:
That was before he realized. Once he knew he broke the connection.

Oh and Musk posted a video of Trump partying with Epstein and lots of wimmin in 1992

War between Musk and Trump is blazing into NO-MANS Land.
Musk just said if Trump continues attacks on Musk Contracts he will Shutdown Dragon Production and let the government figure out how to service the space station.

It just means the Let's Encrypt certificates we currently use are likely defective.
I will have to buy a new certificate when the new server goes live.

#1 To continue yesterday's thread on access: I typically get this error if I login with a VPN:
Rantburg.com doesn’t support a secure connection with HTTPS
You are seeing this warning because this site does not support HTTPS and you are in Private mode. Learn more about this warning
However if I don't turn the VPN on OR if I use Tor+VPN it works just fine.

badanov: For this one, you put the Tweet URL in the source box instead of the Colonel Cassad link.

Just got off the phone with 3dc, who is concerned about the security implications of posting about the Ukraine attack in the Burg, despite the two posts we have up today. Posting about it is what got his Facebook account summarily shut down today without explanation or recourse.

Tank crews from the Alexander Nevsky Brigade carried out a scheduled replacement of gun barrels on their active combat vehicles. The brigade’s Telegram channel shared footage of the process on a T-72B3 tank. Alexander Nevsky Brigade is a component of the Russian 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade.
At the start, the interior of the old barrel is shown, revealing the extent of wear caused by intensive use. By the time of filming, the thermal insulation sleeve had already been removed. The fume extractor, which channels propellant gases away from the breech, was the last component left to be dismantled.
Thanks to modern tank designs, there’s no need to remove the turret. The barrel tube can simply be unscrewed in place using a sledgehammer and the crane of a maintenance vehicle.
Once that’s done, a brand-new smoothbore barrel is installed in reverse order.
It was noted that, after final testing, the tanks would be returned to combat missions.
