    After many years of waiting (for me) my wife and myself went on Safari in Zimbabwe. The concession was located in the Zambezi valley and bordered Lake Kariba. Sorta the northwestern side of the country, towards Zambia. We had the time of our lives and are already trying to figure out how soon we can go back. I have quite a few photos, not just of what I was hunting for, but some of the many animals we also saw, the various terrain, our accommodations, etc. I’m going to start this thread with a few posts which include the animals I primarily went there to hunt (Cape Buffalo and Hippo for dangerous game) as well as some other scenic photos. If there is interest in more photos, I’ll post more. If y’all have questions feel free to ask, I’m no expert as this was my first time in Africa, let alone hunting in Africa but I’ll do my best to answer them. It’s hard to say that something that you’ve been looking forward to doing since I was a kid and finally got a chance to exceeded expectations but this did. The vistas were amazing to say the least. After some hard days hunting I was rewarded with a great “dugga boy”, as old bull Cape Buffalo are known. There is a picture of me and my wife, and then with our game scout, head tracker, and assistant tracker.

    RT @Brushbeater: Viktor Suvorov explained this process in detail in this book and in Spetsnaz. As a fun anecdote, the British interrogator that interviewed him when he initially defected to the UK was working in Afghanistan in 2010. I played chess with him at the British tea shop at KAF. The man was a real life George Smiley.

    In every "red-green" revolutionary alliance, the head-choppers and crane-hangers win the final debate. Their former Communist allies are purged, or try to fade into the background, or just convert and carry on, like Carlos the Jackal.

    The playbook for how they are planning a multilayered strategy to manipulate the election

    🚨 EXC: I uncovered a midterm playbook labeled “CONFIDENTIAL” from a left-wing group run by Obama White House lawyers. Legal battles. Coordinated censorship. Mass mobilization. A progressive network is promoting it to state lawmakers—and its plans extend through the counting and certification of your votes.🧵

    This is where your tax money goes
    Natalie Winters @nataliegwinters
    Anne Arundel County, Maryland, explicitly gives undocumented households priority for taxpayer-funded housing assistance covering rent, utility bills, security deposits and moving costs. The county’s published rules identify priority households as including: “those with undocumented or mixed immigration/citizenship status.” That language appears directly on the county government’s application page. Other priority categories include homelessness, eviction proceedings and disconnected utilities. The Community Schools Rental Assistance Program can pay for: • Overdue rent. • Electricity, gas, water and internet bills. • Security deposits and first month’s rent. • Moving expenses. • Certain late fees and eviction-related court fees. Maryland’s official FAQ says proof of citizenship is not required. Eligible households can receive repeat assistance, including up to three months of future rent or utilities at a time, with an overall maximum of 15 months. Governor Wes Moore’s office says the statewide program’s FY2027 budget increased from $5 million to $11 MILLION.

    Anyone got ideas what Linux distros they may be referring to?

    Yes. Palmer Luckey has stated that BlueChip prototypes currently run Windows plus two Linux flavors popular with the US military (to validate drivers and apps, including Lattice). Customers can also receive units without an OS to install their own. No specific distro names have been disclosed.

    RT @Brushbeater: Pro tip: always map the wells or other hazards. One of my favorite 'whoops' stories from Afghanistan was losing a guy to a pit of darkness during a snap night raid. His team was up front to set up support by fire, my team was the assault element rolling the target up. He had a SAW and 1k rounds. During the movement in he fell into a well (they're just holes in the ground) and dropped about 30ft or so into the water. We pulled him out with the tube nylon runs we all carried. He made it out, we still rolled the target up.

    @marshallfrith GRGs always have a shelf life. That's why we build them, revise them, and tailor them to mission specific data. At least, that was a critical part of the mission planning process in RC-S.

    REVEALED: Millions in California government funding was went to a farm-relief program that explicitly prioritizes “BIPOC, immigrant, and undocumented farmers.” The California Farmer Relief Fund and its operator, Community Alliance with Family Farmers, says it distributed $3.08 million in state CUSP grants through the fund between 2022 and 2025. Those grants offered up to $20,000 for expenses including wells, utility bills, irrigation upgrades and crop losses.
