Russian propaganda sure is an “interesting” take on reality. The bully whines about getting their nose bloodied and is surprised nobody has any sympathy for them.

Good topic, good point, terrible writing. I couldn’t finish the article with the author’s ego and personal bias butting into his great story.

Awesome, good luck!

Hopefully it’s thawed already because it will take two days to thaw all the way through in the fridge. 13 pounds is huge in the slow cooker, and should take about 13-14 hours on low or about 11-12 hours on high. Might be better off braising at 275-325 F in the oven, see this recipe for the general gist https://www.theseasonedmom.com/braised-pork-shoulder/. Should only be 4-5 hours this way and remain tender and juicy.

Ours is Rosie too!

Not mine but I had a Dutch professor who would say “it’s like washing duck’s feet” to refer to something that was a pointless exercise or wasted effort. I always thought it was funny but can’t find anything on the Internet about it now so perhaps it’s not very common.

The biggest hazard is launching the payload, if it fails it falls out over a large area causing contamination of the nuclear fuel. The high orbit of the test vehicle lowers the risks for the other outcomes you identified, and they are planned to remain in these so called “disposal orbits” for many hundreds of years. Things can get very very far apart in space. The Russian recon satellites were operated in low earth orbit and their failures were well documented and even attempted to mitigate by the soviets, though they did fail with very bad consequences at least three times.

Have another look at Ecco’s they’re exactly what you’re looking for. There are good models for 1-200 dollars that last for years and are great for putting city miles on. I got a pair about four years ago when I was commuting on busses and going through cheap shoes every couple months. They’re still in great shape and clean up nice.
