The Soviet sacrifice was immense, but one can't ignore the USAs contribution to the soviets via Lend-Lease. The U.S. sent about 400,000 trucks, thousands of aircraft, tractors, millions of tons of food, fuel, and raw materials. By 1944, much of the Red Army's mobility depended on American trucks. The USSR did the bulk of the fighting, but U.S. logistics were a major reason they could keep advancing.

What if they had and that's why they moved there????

In the next decade plus, it wouldn’t surprise me to see a lot of households gravitating towards having one EV for local driving and one hybrid for interstate driving.


My wife bought a Mazada Plug in hybrid. The best of both worlds. It has between 25-30 miles of ev range and that's plenty to get her to and from her work. She just filled up at 1/2 tank for the first time since April.

She plugs into 120v at home and it charges overnight.

I did immediately after (within 10 mins). Chased it with a redbull...

The swelling above my eye from last night has migrated down below this AM.

Hear my kid laughing hysterically in the hallway this AM. Go to see what's so funny. He'd pulled up the security camera footage for the incident from yesterday.

Not 100% certain because there is a tree blocking some of the view to our shed, but watching it back, after I got popped, I covered up my eye(s), took off running (fight or flight) and then promptly ran smack into our vinyl fence before flopping to the ground. That would explain why my shoulder hurts this Am. I will say, it was pretty funny even if I'm the butt of the joke. I'm a knucklehead.... :lol

BYU students are not allowed to drink caffeine and their sponsor is Monster


Technically incorrect. They are not allowed to drink "hot drinks" like coffee and tea. Caffeine is ok. Lots of LDS folks drink cokes and Dr. Peppers.

But many do not partake in caffeine by choice.

But they are upset about this sponsor choice.
When you have no expectations, games aren't scary.

SC's is indeed a carryover from the ACC tenure.


Inaccurate. SC had been out of the ACC almost a decade when we started varsity Men's soccer. We left the acc in 1971 and didn't start men's soccer until 1978.

The real question to ask here is why the REST of the SEC doesn't have men's soccer?

The answer is, Title IX...

Usce makes sense they came from the acc which sponsors soccer.


Stupid Take. Do you know when South Carolina left the ACC? Were you even alive?

Was soccer even invented that far back in history?

At the time it was the second highest unclimbed peak in the world. He decended to basecamp over the next several hours and was medivacced. He returned to climbing including an assent of El Cap.
