Never buy a used underwater Jeep.
Never buy a used Camel Trophy Land Rover.
Never buy a used Lockheed Starfighter. platinumfighters.com/inventory-2/19…
I know it's close to Christmas. But don't buy a used T-55. exarmyvehicles.com/offer/tracked-…
this Mig 21 is not ideal for my commute. So what to buy me for Christmas? hangar67.com/aircraft/1974-…
I have always had my eye on a pristine Beech 18 ever since I flew in them in the bush. Ideally a polished aluminum version. Yes I can fly a plane. but only if the pilot dies of a heart attack. controller.com/listing/for-sa…
I really regret selling my original Series 1 107 pickup. The famous one that drove from Canada to Mexico. It would break just sitting in my driveway. But an ideal ride.
So what to get for Christmas? Most people will spend just under $900 bucks on gifts but the gift most people want is....is to spend time together. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. The cheapest and best gift is your time. End of thread.

Mercenaries out. Rwandans in. ISIS sorted and nobody is bribing or profiting from human misery. Let's hope it remains that simple when African nations needs help.
As you guessed, it's not that simple. Rwandan troops effectively dispersed ISIS and they regrouped. Rwandan and state sponsored assistance is preferred to ramshackle mercenaries but at some point outside forces will use the insurgency for leverage. allafrica.com/stories/202112…
Africa has roughly the same number of countries as we have states. Imagine if we have open wars in over a dozen states and violent insurgencies in another dozen. africacenter.org/spotlight/auto…

Been deliberately watching Bad Christmas movies (career woman goes on vacation, meets grumpy whatever, falls in love etc..) that have nothing to do with Christmas. Watched George C. Scott in Scrooge and then thought, what is the best modern Christmas film made in the last decade?
I force myself to watch Russian tank movies, 1920s westerns, mashups, Bannon films, Bollywood, YouTube cooking videos to expand my horizons. But Hollywood just can't get Christmas right anymore. refinery29.com/en-gb/why-we-l…
Dickens, like Conrad first published his novella in the papers. Major success. Reads and watches well to this day. The cautionary tale to enjoy life and those around you is timeless. Just as Conrad's Heart of Darkness did. Both are the same story.

"hacked with Predator spyware, built and sold by the previously little-known mercenary spyware developer Cytrox." Which trails back to Intellexa Founder Tal Dilian and "cyber darwinism" citizenlab.ca/2021/12/pegasu…
Which links back to the infamous "Circles" and Eric Banoun which links to Carbyne which links to Eitanium which links back to proliferation of Israeli spyware software used against political dissidents and journos. taldilian.com
Its the "same shit, different decade" business model of 8200 grads. Selling "security" software but in reality being proliferators of fuckery and insecurity. Paging Jamal Khashoggi. MBS on line one and two. calcalistech.com/ctech/articles…

A granular article on the perils of rounding what happens when math is hard. securitydebrief.com/2020/11/14/see…
"PedeInspector selected only the lines of data where President Trump “rounded down” and then added all of these numbers together. PedeInspector has repeatedly tried to point out that he does not know the accuracy of the data, did not have permission to use the data"
"Subsequently (PedeInspector) looked at how those numbers evolved over time and called foul if the number for a given candidate appeared to go down, declaring that proof of fraud." leadstories.com/hoax-alert/202…

Gym Jordan is the stooge. Pence was the plant. Trump was the puppetmaster. Meadows the whipping boy. Joseph Schmitz is an entire reality show series. cnn.com/2021/12/15/pol…
The title could be "There’s Something About Schmitz". "Joseph Schmitz approached the leader of the rebel Free Syrian Army. He offered to give them 70,000 assault rifles from Ukraine and 21 million rounds of ammunition" qz.com/211603/how-ukr…
