Do you believe in chaotic good?

Now, AMA.

@kusuriya

You'll have to ask @Chuck_Half_Hazardly

I am not an expert.

@RussSharek

Mitigations are also known as "Goodlucks".

I have been asked by several acquaintances lately how I keep my cool when Nuclear saber rattling starts... especially when I pretty openly laugh at the specter of it...

It's simple. If it goes off for real, there is NOTHING I can do to change it. Further, I've seen this talk before growing up GenX... nobody wins in this sort of exchange... so it won't happen.

Yes, on a risk matrix it is all bad, the worst, in fact... but it's also highly unlikely to occur.

Deterrents work in this game of chess. and no one will ever make the first move.

So gather round kids, find yourself a GenX partner who isn't in a rocking chair yet, and ask them the questions you need to, because it's a scary rollercoaster ride.

@loke honestly?

I thought they had retired. :)

That would be a great show, and now they are on my list again!

@loke never got to see them, but have always been a fan.

@ifixcoinops WHOA... waitaminute!!!!

You were just not going to mention that sexy beast in the background?

@ifixcoinops A Johnny Mnemonic pinball machine!

@ifixcoinops my envy is off the charts...

There are only 2 consoles I want more than that one, and honestly they are all tied for 1st.

@ifixcoinops not familiar with the term....

Holy shit.

AND IT WAS FOR G-LOC?!?!?

Ok, that is awesome.

I feel like a pedestrian brining up Holosseum, and the orignal vector art Star Wars (cockpit version).

@ajroach42 @ifixcoinops I had the chamce to buy one in 1993 for about $300 and I passed on it because I didn't have anywhere to keep it.

I still kick myself for that.

Starting to become a trend...

No I hadn't, and this is a tremendously bad idea... I'm sure everyone will start using them in the next year.

I expect better puns... you guys are really loafin'.

@rysiek I am fortunate to count several Russians as friends. They are worried too. Many indeed do not want this.

I want this to end in the best way possible.

@feonixrift i think he sent what he could afford to send.

His supply lines and weapons manufacturing capabilities are shot. I think he was weaker than anyone realized.

@feonixrift turkey just closed the black sea.

Turns out once the Bully has a bloody nose, everyone wants to get a kick in.

Us sent almost 1Bill in aid in the pasg 24 hours, and doubled their troop presence in De and Po. Nato response is up and active.

Putin's supply lines are shot, his militaryalready in shambles.

@feonixrift Turkey just blocked Russian warships from the black sea....

Unheard of, and a portent of doom.

Because they didn't block the allies.
