Need a lift soldier? It's like a WAYMO for the sky...

Ukraine carried out the first battlefield evacuation of a wounded soldier by aerial drone in the world. Footage shared by the 92nd Assault Brigade showed a Gurzuf Defence six-rotor heavy unmanned hexacopter transporting the fighter after he had reportedly spent almost 500 days alone on the frontline.

Fellow soldiers used drones to deliver essential supplies and he continued to carry out combat missions – that is until he suffered severe leg injuries. Evacuating him by ground was impossible because the ground is littered by landmines, while Russian drones continued to hover above. Left without a choice, Ukrainian troops adapted a heavy hexacopter that was originally configured as a bomber.

The team first delivered special equipment with carabiners to the soldier, then sent the drone equipped with a winch.

How you deal with your pets is a marker for who you are as a person...

 

Treating pets like family - often called pet humanization ( a stupid phrase) - means including animals in daily life, emotional bonds, and household care as if they were close human relatives.

Sharing living spaces, beds, meals, and family milestones (such as birthdays or holiday photos).

Providing high-quality nutrition, routine or specialized veterinary care, and emotional enrichment.

Budgeting for medical emergencies, keeping identification updated, and arranging care.

Tapping into human caregiving instincts that trigger oxytocin release in the animal, similar to parent-child attachment. 

------------------------------------

Oxytocin is a natural hormone and neuropeptide made in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It plays a major role in social bonding, love, and trust.

------------------------------------

While viewing pets as family offers deep emotional benefits, experts and pet owners note the importance of respecting natural animal instincts. Some people say that treating animals too literally like 'human' children - such as feeding them unsafe people food or ignoring behavioral boundaries - can cause stress or health issues for the pet. 

True family care balances unconditional love with meeting the animal's specific species needs. And marks you as the person you really are...

I'm not the only one who thinks everything is stupid these days...

I have a sheet of paper (SOMEWHERE) that has 43 different passwords for 43 different websites I ocassionaly visit. I drive a 20+ year old truck that still - as old as it is  - has too much computer-related bullshit going on, like that brake light alarm that's been on my dashboard display thing going on five years now. It's a faulty sensor that I myself cannot replace, and the mechanic wants $ 650.00 to do it for me. I say fuckit - just avoid going down steep hills and I got nothing to worry about, right?

Everything nowadays is 'password sensitive' and now they're getting more annoying with this two part protection shit that they have to send a 'code' to your smart phone so you can prove you are you to a fuckin' bot. And it's true - why the fuck do we all own phones that are way smarter than us? Juss' sayin'...

If they had just learnded to STFU and baked the birthday cakes...

If this isn't another case of FAFO, nothing is. The real lesson here? Keep your opinions to yourself - nobody gives a fuck what you think about anything beyond how much jelly you put in the donuts. 

Nabloom Bakery & Pizzerra in Berkeley closed for good on Sunday after a half-century in business. The Bay Area fixture, known for its fruit Danish pastries and sourdough pizzas, initially cited rising ingredient and utility costs as the reason behind their closure. Is it always somebody else's fault?? Well, evidently not...

Now, owners Julia Elliott and Sabra Stepak are going further, saying controversy over their political beliefs hurt the business. “We’ve always been upfront about our political views. It has now threatened our livelihood,” Elliott and Stepak wrote in a Facebook post. The owners said they received backlash for a “Defund the Police” mural and a “Teach Palestine” poster they put up outside their business several years ago.

“We were also kicked off instagram for reposting an image of a BART car tagged with ‘Fuck Ice’ in our story,” they wrote. Sales for the business dropped 20% once they were “kicked off” Instagram, the owners claim. Aftr that, it was all downhill. Think they learned anything? 

Better than even money they didn't...

So, what's it all about, Alfie...

 

Remember, France has free health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, free child care, free preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education. EVERYTHING the left wing says they want, and yet they're out in the streets trying to burn the whole thing down. Just shows you how fucked up the left is - no matter where they are...

One human trait that's undeniable is the natural urge to explore - to discover something someone's never find. Okay, that's great, but sometimes these exploration ventures need to be tempered a bit against necessity.. Does anyone - anywhere - actually give a fuck about Amelia Earhart and why and where she died nearly a hundred years ago? I mean, c'mon guys - after the two second photo op, wuddya got, right?

Who would have ever given a moments thought to the fact that there are nearly a half-million Haitian here in this country? Surely not me - I wonder where they all are - must be all the big cities - and Minnesota.

Here's another one you can file under 'WTF are these people thinking with'. 

"Jews for Abdul" is a grassroots coalition of Jewish voters in Michigan who support his progressive platform - which includes universal healthcare, economic justice, and opposition to corporate and pro-Israel lobbying PAC money.

El-Sayed’s candidacy and his rhetoric regarding the Israel-Hamas war (including his use of the term "genocide") have deeply divided Michigan's Jewish community. While hundreds of Jewish voters and progressive groups (such as Jewish Voice for Peace Action and the Michigan Jews for Democracy coalition) have backed him as a strategic vote against conservative opponents like Republican Mike Rogers, other Jewish leaders and rabbis have publicly criticized his positions and past associations.

Confirmation of the 10-figure cost marks another chapter in the troubled history of the much-delayed project, which opened five years behind schedule amid controversy over its use of public parkland and claims that subcontractors were stiffed out of millions of dollars.

Actually, that's not exactly accurate. Much earlier, something happened sometime on or about Tuesday, January 20, 1953 that made today possible. I'll buy a beer for anybody who figures out what it was. A truly important day (or night) in my life...

For some in Paris, it's business assual. Voulez-vous une verre de vin?

 C’est la vie, or -0 as my father might say (if he was a frog) - "c'est comme ça". A couple in France has gone viral after they were filmed calmly enjoying a glass of wine and a cigarette while fires rage around them - while another woman casually jogged through the worst rioting in years. The relaxed-looking man and woman were seen chatting and smoking at an outdoor bistro table, with fires raging feet behind them close to the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

In another bizarre clip filmed in the French capital, a jogger was seen casually running through a smoke-filled street on Saturday, also completely unfazed by the rioters around her.
