There is some good news, though, for those of you who like your Monday morning coffee with a solid helping of schadenfreude. It turns out that those supposedly “endangered” polar bears are absolutely nothing of the bloody sort, and in fact are becoming an outright nuisance:
Polar bear numbers are so high they threaten native Inuit populations, a controversial Canadian government report has found.
The animals, which have become one of the enduring symbols of the environmental cause, are growing in such numbers that they cannot currently safely co-exist with humans in northern Canada, the report suggested.
But the findings have been bitterly contested by environmental scientists who say that climate change has simply pushed the bears closer to humans as they search for food.
They argue that populations are not actually increasing.
Wildlife experts often use images of emaciated polar bears to show how habitats are coming under threat due to ice shrinking and sea levels rising.
For example just a few months ago footage emerged of a polar bear prowling around on thin ice in the Nunavut territory in the northernmost region in Canada.
Wildlife experts said that the photos showed how the polar bears’ habitat is coming under threat due to human-induced global warming.
However, a new report, drafted by the Nunavut government completely contracts these widely-held claims about declining populations.
The really hilarious thing about this report is that a bunch of climate “scientists” who are not Inuit have all gotten their panties in a massive wad and are claiming that the Inuvik – who actually live near polar bears – have no idea what they are talking about and are just plain wrong.
Yeah. As if a scientist sitting in his comfy ivory tower somewhere in Cambridge, MA, or Stanford, CA, or London, knows more about polar bears than the people who actually live near them.
All I can say to that is, no wonder the rest of us view climate “scientists” as nothing more than a bunch of self-interested money-grubbing hacks and hucksters.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper answers the age-old question – who is smarter, an engineer or a physicist?
So… does that actually settle the issue?
Well, to answer that, I must paraphrase our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) Voxemort the Malevolent:
There is a word for repeatable, reliable, reproducible science – and that is “engineering”.

Coach Ramsey Dewey once again does his usual fantastic job of breaking down the realities of attempting to escape a rear-naked choke when used by someone who knows what he is doing:
Let’s get one thing straight about the RNC technique:
This is a lethal choke.
When properly applied against you by an opponent, even one much smaller and weaker than you, this technique WILL leave you unconscious in under 10 seconds. That is guaranteed because of the way that this blood-choke cuts off blood flow to the brain.
You ABSOLUTELY WILL be dead in about 3 minutes (give or take) if this choke continues to be applied after you are unconscious.
So this is one of the most serious unarmed attacks that can be made against your person. If you are going to defend yourself in this situation, you need to know how to do it properly.
The first thing you need to know is that, if someone puts you in an RNC, and really sinks it in… you’re boned.
There is no defence against this. YOU WILL DIE.
The second thing you need to know is that you have maybe three seconds to react and improve your position when someone puts you in an RNC. You need to do pretty much exactly what Coach Ramsey says – shift your hips behind the other person, bring your head down lower than his, create some space between you and him so that you can work, force at least a partial release of the arm doing the choking, and start either striking or grappling to get him to release the rest of the way.
Your odds of survival in this situation decrease exponentially within those 3 seconds.
Don’t be fooled by bullshido telling you that it’s easy to escape an RNC. This technique is absolutely lethal when done right, and any defence of it needs to be taught carefully and properly, with an appreciation of just how dangerous it is.

Mat Best and his friends apparently went on a Black Rifle Coffee bender – because, of course, that stuff is Caffeinated As F**k – and then put an M-61 Vulcan Gatling gun on the roof of a Toyota Prius.
Go back and read that sentence again. I promise it’s worth the effort.
The results are… well, about what you might expect, actually:
Man, I want that job.

Remember how I cracked a few jokes last week about how the fastest solution to the “migrant caravans” coming into America from the Dirt World is a low-altitude strafing run using an A-10 Warthog and its 30mm cannon spitting out depleted uranium rounds?
I came up with that suggestion partly because of the way that the A-10 was designed – and its origins were heavily influenced by none other than USAF Col. John Boyd:
That isn’t hyperbole, by the way. Most guns used in aircraft are designed to fit into those planes and have to accommodate the stresses that the airframes of those planes can handle, and sometimes have to have their barrels shortened and rates of fire reduced from the stock versions.
The GAU-8 Avenger, on the other hand, is bigger than a goddamn VW Beetle. It wasn’t really designed to fit into the A-10. The A-10 was designed to fit around it.
Jeebus. No wonder the survivors of the Iraqi Army’s armoured corps called the A-10 “White Death”. That thing is designed to shred armoured vehicles like a starving tiger attacking a tethered goat.

And now for a true fighting BADASS to counteract the bullshido – well, the second one in this edition, actually, since I featured Big Bad Bas Rutten earlier:
Justin Gaethje’s all-out war with Michael Johnson was a truly classic fight. I highly recommend watching the whole thing. It goes way beyond a mere striking clinic. Justin Gaethje’s leg kicks, in particular, are seriously brutal, and given his kicking skills I suspect that he has had a lot of instruction in tae kwon do paired with muay thai. The dude kicks hard enough to knock all of the smallpox vaccine straight out of your body.

The new BRAINSTORM album is solid. I bought and downloaded it off the strength of just this one song, and it’s seriously badass.
Hey, isn’t that the dude from AMARANTHE???
I tried to pick my favourite song from STAR ONE’s legendary Space Metal album, but… it’s actually really difficult to pick just one. The entire album is pretty much perfect.

The starting Instathot for this week comes to you from Greece – because I figured everyone was tired of Eastern European and East Asian girls, and it was time for a nice change-up. I am nothing if not a (Warrior-)servant to my readers, after all.

Hey, we both know that you couldn’t read that with a straight face either. So quit yer bitchin’.
Her name is Athina Oikonomakou, and she is apparently some sort of Greek film actress. All I know is, she looks great in a bikini, so there.

"because I figured everyone was tired of Eastern European and East Asian girls"
The fu…..?
Oh, excuse me, for a moment I thought you said "because I figured everyone was tired of Bacon, Blow Jobs, and always winning the super bowl."
Dude. One can NEVER be tired of BACON. Anyone who is, needs to turn in his MAN card immediately.
Didact,
Latin grammar isn't tough just a very precise tool. It does a great job of cultivating rigour, precision and concision.
The A 10 was specifically designed to kill Warsaw pact tanks and survive its sophiticated antI aircraft layeRSS.
The Greek lady is quite pretty and no doubt will cause Americans and Canadians to go huh but Greeks, Italians etc ain't blonde. Boy do I laugh as a blonde haired Mediterranean nobody believes me 🙂
The mini gun on the priest is Jeremy Clarkson Top gear master gearhead level.
