Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I’m not saying I justify the spread of communism in Eastern Europe after World War II. But considering they were on the winning side and had the largest losses on either side during it (22 million is the generally agreed number), I can see why they felt entitled to the spoils. Especially when it co...

Re: The OFFICIAL 2022 NFL Offseason Thread
It’s good Buffalo cut him and no one should let any next team off the hook when they don’t at a skill position. Maybe Cleveland will grab him to take the heat off Watson? Seriously. Bills obviously fucked up pre-draft, but they did the right thing... Now, if this kid was a can't miss linebacker, wh...

Re: The East Palestine, Ohio thing
One other point, phosgene was legit used in some of the gas weapons in ww1. So the fact they were burning the original stuff to make phosgene should be all you need to know. Now phosgene is not like the mustard gas or chlorine they were using to kill in ww1, nowhere near as lethal. But still.

God knows what was on the rail cars, and im not sure we’ve heard what they were moving. Just note that most of the nastiest shit that gets moved around the country does so by rail. Liability on the highway is significantly higher.
