Yesterday I finished Chip War by
Chris Miller . I give it 5⭐️
An incredible accomplishment telling a compelling 70 year non-ficition story about an incredibly complex topic of the world's most advanced technology held up against modern geo-political complexities

There are moral, ethical, and legal questions to ask of our national leaders before and after conflict
But when the missiles start flying, I am on the side of our warfighters doing what they do best within the LOAC
We will fight and we will win
I am rabidly pro-US when we are in conflict
I support the troops accomplishing the missions they are given with incredible lethality and asymmetric advantage
I do not want us to win a fair fight; I want us to utterly decimate our adversaries' military using every unfair tactic
Three families are getting a visit today that every service member fears
Thoughts for those brave souls who gave the ultimate sacrifice in this conflict and the folks that have sustained life-altering injuries as a result of combat operations
This is real war
My daughter told me my jacket was "badass" today 💪🏻
Mind you she's 10, but we take those
Mom got me a sick birthday present this year: a subscription to the newly revamped Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
Volume 1 came in today. Stoked to read it!
4 years in and Ukraine is still standing, still there. Despite everything Russia, and their enablers, have thrown at that poor country, Ukraine stands
Slava Ukraini and may this horrible war end in victory for our Ukrainian friends!
Underrated joke
I love Steam Nextfest because all the new demos look so cool
But I also hate Steam Nextfest because I know I'll never have time to play any of them
Checking this book out. Anyone else read it?
Legitimately sad that Olympic hockey is over. Some of the best games I've ever seen back to back to back, women's and men's. So many last minute goals to go to OT and exciting finishes in sudden death
No other game like it. Can't believe I gotta wait 4 more years
(Mostly self imposed)
Listen, the US has been through a lot this year
Its only fair Canada let's us have a couple gold medals as a little treat
Me during the hockey gold medal ceremony
Hughes gave multiple teeth in sacrifice to the game and maybe thats the difference
I'll be honest, I don't think the USA deserved to win that one. Canada played better hockey pretty much that whole game
But Hellebuyck's godlike performance kept us in it and we finally managed to capitalize on a lucky break in OT
That's all that matters to get the gold!
Finally saw the replay and it was a THING OF PURE BEAUTY
USA USA USA USA
USA WINS GOLD
OH MY GOD MY KID WAS TALKING TO ME AND I MISSED THE GOAL
But the US just cannot win if Canada is shooting double the shots. US has to get some more coordinated plays going or eventually Hellebuyck will break and let one in
That said, based on the strategies employed, I think the US believes they have better players in 1v1s. Might benefit them for the OT
I don't know if my heart can survive a 3v3 overtime when the USA is playing like this
IT HASN'T WORKED FOR 59 FUCKIN MINUTES
STOP DUMPING THE PUCK INTO THE CORNER GUYS
Omfg we killed the powerplay by the grace of God
HUGHES YOU FOOL. TAR AND FEATHER THIS MAN
NO HUGHES WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
Finally the US might catch up on shots
