    Mod. Notice Technological advances in weaponry

    In the age of Drones, keeping the A-10 as drone hunters / protection from would make sense, but the Airforce has never liked the mission of protecting the ground troops. They'd be a great help shooting down shahed's and other drones in Ukraine. If they are so shit, just donate them to them as...

    Running For The Board; I REALLY need your help

    Not a member these days (still undecided about 2026), but I felt drowsy reading those statements. Stability, member engagement, blah blah. Only Enviable Tradition at least had getting back to a Member controlled club. I get you can't put 'Sack Hinkley' in there, but something a bit stronger...

    Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

    Having two kids with autism, I can't say I've ever felt the need to report PapaG for posting insensitive shit at times. Unless he went full Piston posting racist shit at 2am, a few Gen X style digs that ruffled some Gen Z or Millennial feathers shouldn't get you banned.

    Certified Legendary Thread Sack(ed) Hinkley 15 - The End

    Sure, for those of us that knew for many years Hinkley is shit. His fans, both Port and in the media, will go on about Ken laid the foundations and deserves some of the credit.

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    The Russians aren't going to attack troops from NATO countries. If they were willing to attack NATO troops in Ukraine, that are there as peacekeepers, they'd be willing to shell / send drones to bomb factories, airports, etc. in NATO countries bordering Ukraine now, to stop equipment flowing...

    Great 80's Cartoons

    Yeah, my brothers and I had some Transformers, including Soundwave. Also some He-man and Star Wars figures. Of course all long gone, except a couple in very poor shape. Looking back now, thinking how much they'd be worth if they hadn't been taken out and played with. No real regrets though, we...

    Society/Culture Japan population crisis

    An economy should be able to stay stable (if managed well), if a population is stable. If the population is shrinking, then there should be less looking for work. The politicians of the world are wedded to more growth. Obviously companies are, they exist to make money and more people is more...

    Great 80's Cartoons

    Some started pre-80's like Scooby Doo, but were staples of those of us who had the bulk of their childhood years in the 80's. Transformers missing from that list. 80's Transformers was and remains the best version, animated or 'live action'. I'll also add my favourite as an 80's kid...

    Certified Legendary Thread Sack(ed) Hinkley 15 - The End

    Pffft. Hinkley would never have scored four touchdowns for Polk High. He'd have stopped after one and said scoring the winning touchdown is scary.

    Society/Culture Why Australia needs to lower its immigration intake

    As someone who identifies as Centre-Right, I'd put an immigration rate at that which maintains the population at the current level. As Centre-Right I also care about the environment and we're already putting too much strain on it (in Australia) with the current population. It'd stop the need for...

    Opinion International Geopolitics

    The first time around, he hadn't built his cult fully, so he had a lot of old school Republicans, who wanted strong support for NATO and other allies, pro-small business (not just tech bro's), willing to work with Democrats where possible. Now it's just MAGA lackies who'll tell him everything he...

    Society/Culture Why Australia needs to lower its immigration intake

    If you could make it that people are paid the same for (let's say) 30 hours work a week instead of 40, without driving a bunch of small / medium size businesses to the wall, unless you made it people weren't allowed to work more hours, many would go to 40, so they 'could get ahead of the rest'...

    Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere

    That he's got a lot of creative control gives hope it won't be a steaming pile vaguely wrapped in an existing IP like Wheel of Time, Seeker of Truth, Rings of Power, Star Trek Academy, etc. Hopefully that control extends to casting. Mistborn up first, so hopefully a Vin that looks like Vin on...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    It's Europe. I'll believe they stop (and don't just release within a couple of days, with a slap on the wrist), when it actually starts happening. I hope it does, but I have my doubts it'll be done consistently. Especially if Russia does what they did with a tanker in the English channel and had...

    Europe Backdrop to the war in Ukraine

    Only half right. They are vunerable because they don't retaliate with anything other than stern words. If Poland went to war with Russia, no holds barred, they'd be dropping bombs on Moscow and St. Petersburg from F-35's and be trashing Russian supply depots and drone operators with stealth...
