I was quite skinny as a teenager, now I have the physique of a dwarf from Lord of the rings. I think the grass is always greener on the other side lol

No need to apologize for that one. I think I speak for many when I say I appreciate the amount of detail in your posts.

So I’m guessing you are either in the north east or parts of the Midwest based on what you wrote. There are three things I’d point out with that being said. Firstly, there are some areas where there are genuinely valuable trees on forest service land, as they allow logging at a minorly limited rate. This is especially true out west. Secondly, evonomies of scale. Much of the lumber industry is set up to clearcut even aged plantations at scale, and as a result it can be hard to find sawmills to buy small and diverse loads of logs from clearing smaller private parcels. Thirdly, there is an increasing demand for wood based biofuel, mainly for export to Europe or japan. This industry is only established in the southeast and Pacific Northwest thus far, but the companies involved in that do seem to be attempting to expand (drax, a British company was denied permits to build two large biofuel pellet plants in California).

Tldr, your observations of the timber industry are accurate but I think there are specific intelligent profiteers behind this type of move

Unlimited blue on blue fire onthe Yankee terrorists

Was initially quite confused by the highlights. The highlighted tailfin is from the 493 fighter squadron (it even says 493 FS) whereas the debris appears to be formerly of the 494 fighter squadron. Not sure why that image was included

Is there any chance the wing loong have could be Iranian - a friendly fire incident or is this confirmed Saudi or UAE? Saudi or UAE seems more likely tbh

how do you do fellow kids

Slightly cryptic in an entertaining way but I know what he’s saying. 5/10 rating

God I hate the USA

So true

I obviously don’t know the true military situation in Iran, but based on what I do know, I don’t think they should accept this deal, even if the us and Israel were open to it. There is no guarantees that the us will withdraw all assets from neighboring countries, nor a specific mechanism to ensure the Epstein forces won’t simply ignore the ceasefire and attack again at some point in the future.

Is the rightmost figure at tre start moloch? Representing child sacrifice? Or what

You can ethically watch this if you simply pirate it. But why on earth should you?

Yes, and they are unfortunately not surprising. he moved the ufw leadership to a compound in tehachapi (it was previously in Delano, a town with a lot of ufw rank and file members, esp grape workers whereas tehachapi was ranch country with very few) and ran it essentially as a cult. I recommend Frank Bardakes book on the subject if you want a vast amount of detail on the subject
