This year it is 4 players on IPL retention list.
Maximum of 3x domestic players.
Maximum of 2x overseas players.

To retain though teams have to pay as well. So if want to retain 4x players? Have to shell out 42 crore... which is deducted from amount of 90 able to bid with, to retain 4 players. 33 crore to retain 3.

Translation for non-Jarheads? :laugh:
They already have an intel ship nearby. With the addition of these, they may actually start the invasion.
After watching this recent training drill, I’m slightly less worried about America getting involved with Russia. This is godawful training and execution.



I know you don’t like Fox News, but the dude stole the video from a verified account in Russian. I didn’t feel like finding that one to share

This looks like a bunch of fat guys cos-playing as soldiers :laugh:

That seemed a little sketchy to be using live rounds but you would know better.

I also got the sense they might have been separatists rather than full time soldiers.

Things might get a little spicy soon


I'm no expert or even very learned in military weapons, vehicles, tactics, etc... but I had read a story earlier this week that seemed to indicate a possible sign might be Russia actually moving ships further away from the area because the Javelin missiles that have been heavily supplied to Ukraine from the US/NATO are dangers to ships as well.

Blanks not live rounds. Still lethal as they don’t seem to have any blank firing adaptors on them. There’s a reason their CBRN has a 6-10% casualty rate.
According to the original tweet it’s supposed to be their special forces.


I don’t buy that, but I could see this being normal infantry.

Bathroom remodel update...had a hell of a time finding a tub and surround that would work in stock given current supply issues...I got the tub home and took it out to measure everything up...its cracked :(.

Remedies are:
wait another 2 weeks for another one to be shipped to my local HD
use a similarly sized one from Lowes (I bought the one that matches the surround I bought so I'd like to use them both)
drive an hr to Lansdale HD where they have one in stock

I did a partial demo cause I knew we were having people over on sunday so I kept the bathroom useable in case anyone needed it. No one did lol. So far just a lot of wasted time. I did find a massive beehive in my ceiling above the shower though

Can they ship intrastore from Lansdale? Might be worth calling them to see.

and basically, everyone else you don't keep on the team is available to other teams? if so that's wild and I want other sports to try this every decade or something lol

nah I spent like 30 minutes on the phone and another 30 with online customer service. They gave me a credit for dealing with the BS but my only options going to get it or waiting for another shipment

Speaking of Steven Segal all he needed was some starbursts to blow up Gary Bussey on a sub in Under Siege.
