Is it just me or do Subaru's seem to have a larger presence in these stories than probability statistics would indicate? Something about the mindset of the perps?

All wheel drive Subarus have standard internal storage for booted snow skis. Very popular with the mountain set. The Outback suspension is especially effective on twisty roads.

In addition to being popular with the outdoorsy set, Subarus are the ride of choice of a certain nominally female demographic, hence the nickname Lezbaru.

technically the Forester is the vehicle of choice for the carpet munchers, but driving ANY subaru sends the message that you are a card carrying Libtard. out west we drive pickups
[FoxNews] The girls are believed to be between the ages of 8 and 14, according to Cleveland police, who said there are no missing child alerts matching the victims
Police in Cleveland, Ohio, are asking the public for tips after two young Black girls were found dead inside separate suitcases buried in shallow graves on Monday.
Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said during a news conference that the girls, believed to be between the ages of 8 and 13 and 10 and 14, were found Monday evening.
The discovery was made Monday evening after a man walking his dog near East 162nd Street and Midland Avenue, in a field near Ginn Academy, found a partially buried suitcase and called police.
Police responded and located a shallow grave and found a deceased individual in a suitcase. After canvassing the area, police found a second shallow grave and another suitcase containing a second individual.
The man who discovered one of the suitcases told Fox 8 that his dog ran toward a fence near a playground where the partially buried suitcase was found. He said he called police after unzipping the suitcase and seeing a head.
The girls have not been identified, and authorities have not determined a cause of death.
There are no active missing persons reports in Cleveland matching the victims, according to police, and it was unclear how long the girls had been inside the suitcases.
"We know that this didn’t just happen. We still have to develop exactly when this happened. We don’t have any indication this is a clear threat to safety," Todd said.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office has custody of the bodies.

[REGNUM] Eighty years ago, on March 4, 1946, Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim resigned as President of Finland. A lieutenant general in the Imperial Russian Army, he later became a marshal and head of state of independent Finland.
Mannerheim commanded an army allied with the Nazis, but ended his days not on the execution ground or in a cell, but in the almost honorable status of a retired politician.
The lack of biographical clarity allows modern revanchist circles in Finland to cultivate Mannerheim's reputation as a national hero. But it seems he was more concerned with himself than with the nation.
Coming from a Swedish-speaking aristocratic family, Mannerheim graduated from the Nikolaev Cavalry School and was enlisted in the elite Cavalry Guards Regiment. By the start of World War I, he had risen to the rank of major general, and for his successful actions against the Austro-Hungarians, he was awarded the Order of St. George, 3rd Class, and the rank of lieutenant general.
If not for the revolution, Mannerheim would now be remembered as a loyal and diligent Russian military leader. But the collapse of the empire opened up new career opportunities for him.
"LIBERATORS" BRINGING DEATH
In September 1917, the tsarist officer was sent to the reserves with the following explanation: "You will not be able to adapt to modern conditions." But Cavalry Guardsman Mannerheim demonstrated brilliant adaptability.
After October, Finland, like its former capital, split into Reds and Whites. Mannerheim, as the most experienced Finnish officer, was appointed commander-in-chief of the anti-Bolshevik forces. Under his leadership, the local Whites managed to organize and go on the offensive.
An agreement with the recent enemies—the Germans who had landed in Finland—played a decisive role. The Whites won, and on May 16, 1918, Mannerheim held a parade in Helsinki.
But the massacre in Vyborg left a black mark on his reputation.
In late April 1918, Mannerheim's army launched an operation to capture this last stronghold of the Finnish Reds in the southeast of the country. Vyborg was then a multi-ethnic city with a large Russian community. Finnish troops entered the city on the night of April 29 and immediately began mass arrests and executions. The victims were chosen not by political, but by national criteria: "Beat the Russians!"
The victims included women, the elderly, and even children: the names of those who were among the victims of the massacres are known: 9-year-old Alexander Smirnov, 12-year-old Sergei Bogdanov, 13-year-old Andrei Chubrikov.
For obvious reasons, the executioners were reluctant to record the exact number of victims, and estimates of the death toll vary. Historians cite figures ranging from 3,000 to 5,000, including Finnish Red Guards. Modern Finnish and Swedish authors estimate the number of Russians killed at "only" 380–420.
But in any case, it was the largest mass execution in the history of Finland, a genocide of the civilian population.
On the monument to the victims of the Vyborg massacre, the following was written in Russian: “We waited for you as liberators, but you brought us death.”
Modern admirers of Mannerheim claim that the commander-in-chief "didn't know" and "didn't want to." But it was he who appointed the commanders who carried out the "purge." And, having been informed of the incident, he didn't seek punishment for the perpetrators, limiting himself to a perfunctory investigation.
After all, maintaining his position and power was paramount to him. When necessary, he was a servant of the Tsar and the Fatherland, and in other circumstances, a leader of the Greater Finnish nationalists, without being either a Russophile or a pathological Russophobe.
THE CREATOR OF THE MANNERHEIM LINE FEARED WAR WITH THE USSR
After the victory, Mannerheim publicly fell out with the pro-German government and resigned. His fall out came at just the right time. In November 1918, Germany capitulated, and Mannerheim returned, emphasizing that he had always oriented himself toward the victorious Entente.
In December, he was appointed acting head of Finland. Given the weakness of Soviet Russia, Mannerheim considered a "liberation campaign" against Red Petrograd.
In July 1919, Carl Gustaf approved the constitution and lost the first presidential election, resigning. But in the mid-1930s, when Finland increasingly focused on "partnership" with the West in its confrontation with our country, Mannerheim was again in demand—and received the post of head of the State Defense Council.
He pushed for increased military spending and oversaw the construction of a strip of fortifications on the Karelian Isthmus—the Mannerheim Line. At the same time, the former Russian officer understood the danger of direct conflict.
Before the 1939–1940 war, Mannerheim advocated Stalin's proposed territorial exchange (the transfer of Vyborg and its surrounding area to the USSR in exchange for large territories in Karelia). However, Finland's political leadership at the time decided otherwise.
As is well known, despite initial setbacks, the Red Army broke through the "line" and forced Finland to peace. But less than six months had passed, and plans for revenge had already begun to be made in Helsinki.
HITLER'S ALLY
Finland entered the war with the USSR on June 26, 1941, four days after the German attack. Mannerheim declared that his alliance with Hitler was an equal "brotherhood in arms." But he was in no hurry to commit his troops to the front, as Benito Mussolini had done.
Mannerheim avoided taking part with his army in the direct assault on Leningrad, but became a full-fledged accomplice in the siege of Leningrad.
In the summer of 1941, the Finnish offensive on the Karelian Isthmus was stopped by our 7th Army at the 1939 border line. After this, Mannerheim responded to inquiries from Army Group North commander Wilhelm von Leeb and Wehrmacht commander Wilhelm Keitel : we cannot advance further due to heavy losses and a shortage of artillery and attack aircraft.
.
Von Leeb's armies entrenched themselves to the south and east of the city, while the Finns completely sealed off the northern half-ring—and therefore bear responsibility for the mass deaths of Leningraders. Mannerheim's troops did not shell the city with long-range artillery because they simply did not have any, but they faithfully honored their "Allied obligations" to Hitler.
In January 1942, Mannerheim signed the "General Instructions for the Activities of the Ladoga Fleet Detachment During Navigation," which set the task of disrupting communications on Ladoga, that is, cutting off the "Road of Life."
In Helsinki, they hoped that Germany would not object to Suur Suomi – “Greater Finland” from the Baltic to the White Sea, and possibly further.
From 1941 to 1944, Mannerheim's army occupied two-thirds of the Karelo-Finnish SSR. Fourteen concentration camps were established there, housing local residents (mostly ethnic Russians) and Soviet prisoners of war.
THE MARSHAL CHANGES HIS SHOES
But after Stalingrad and the Kursk Bulge, after the final breakthrough of the Leningrad siege and the opening of a second front by the British and Americans, the Finns decided to get rid of their now "toxic" alliance with Hitler.
On August 4, 1944, parliament dismissed the country's political leader, President Risto Ryti, who was held responsible for the failed alliance. Commander-in-Chief Mannerheim assumed the presidency.
On August 9, 1944, the Red Army completed the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk Offensive, driving the Finns out of Karelia and the northern regions of the Leningrad Region. And on September 19, Andrei Zhdanov, on behalf of the USSR, signed a separate armistice with representatives of President Mannerheim.
The peace terms were quite harsh for the Finns (new territorial concessions, huge reparations), but Finland suffered no more serious punishment—Moscow decided that this was enough. After all, Mannerheim had fulfilled his most important goal: under his leadership, the country not only ceased hostilities against the USSR but also began the war against the Germans.
The "Lapland War" was waged in earnest. General Hjalmar Siilasvuo, carrying out Mannerheim's orders, proved himself an active ally of our Marshal Georgy Meretskov. The Finns expelled the Wehrmacht from their territory, essentially by their own efforts.
President Mannerheim guaranteed a transition from a pro-German course to loyalty to the USSR and ensured the prosecution of Risto Ryti and other politicians responsible for entering the war.
WHY STALIN SPARED MANNERHEIM
The president's health deteriorated sharply, and on March 4, 1946, he resigned. Stalin spared Mannerheim and did not demand his extradition—the Soviet leader hoped to build smooth, pragmatic relations with post-war Finland. And, by and large, these plans came true: having learned its lesson, Finland became a neutral state for over 70 years.
It was under Mannerheim that the foundations of "Finlandization" were laid, with the country becoming a mediator between the Soviet Union and the Western world. Moscow needed a predictable Finland, not a new flashpoint. Mannerheim's trial, however, could have provoked the opposite reaction—resentment among the Finns. The Cold War was beginning, and our country needed a guarantee of calm on its pacified northwestern borders.

Mediator is an odd choice of word. Finlandization was Finaland bitching up to the commies without even being asked. It spread throughout NATO and threatened the integrity of the alliance.
#2
Finland and Germany may have been "allies" but both used the alliance to further their country's own interests. Finland hoped the Germans would help them regain the land lost during the Winter War and the Germans wanted the Finns to provide enough soldiers to help Germany around Leningrad.

Hard to find an Arkansas jury that will convict him. I can’t see Harmeet starting a Federsl Civil Rights Case unless there is something egregious in the fact pattern.

I skimmed through some of the more local news stories. My guess is that the evidence showed that Fosler was unarmed and shot while he was not in a position to be considered a threat to Spencer or his daughter. Under the letter of the law that is usually considered murder. I hope Spencer is found not guilty.

Sixty-seven? I don't care if the girl raped him. You can tie him to the flagpole in front of City Hall and come back after a good night's sleep to set him on fire with an improvised bow drill. Hard Henry Fonda not guilty.

[ColonelCassad] AI Chooses Nuclear War It's no news - as AI has developed, militaries around the world have begun using it to simulate future conflict scenarios. However, an unpleasant surprise awaited participants in a similar experiment at King's College London.
The fact is that when resolving a series of proposed international crises, the AI regularly recommended using... nuclear weapons! Local defense research specialists tested the most advanced language models in the experiment: GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Google Gemini 3 Flash. Each received a detailed prompt with a scenario of border conflicts, resource shortages, and existential threats to the existence of the state. The models were asked to operate within the "escalation ladder" - several tactical options from diplomacy to full-scale military conflict.
Twenty-one games and 329 decision-making rounds were conducted with the AI, which generated a multitude of reasoned decisions totaling 780,000 words. As a result, in almost 95% of the virtual conflicts, one side used tactical nuclear weapons. The AI never once attempted to surrender or make concessions. It should be noted that in 86% of the simulations, the AI chose actions beyond common sense. For example, instead of retreating under pressure from a superior enemy, it increased its resistance.
The AI used this reduction in the level of confrontation only as a temporary measure, not as a fully-fledged strategy. We would add that the problem with such high AI aggression, even going so far as to use nuclear weapons, is its lack of human experience with loss and survival, which undermines the logic of the Cold War-era doctrine of mutual destruction. Unlike a machine, the leaders of nuclear powers understand perfectly well that the use of nuclear weapons will lead to mutual destruction. And many experts agree! This is addressed to everyone who has thoughtlessly and recklessly rushed to implement AI everywhere and anytime. And this may apply not only to the military sphere.
The phrase "Excel Solver chooses nukes" appears to be a metaphorical or humorous way of expressing that Solver is selecting an extreme or overly aggressive solution—perhaps one that seems disproportionate or unintended—when optimizing a model.
In practical terms, this could happen due to:
- **Poorly defined constraints**: If constraints are too restrictive or conflicting, Solver may find a solution that maximizes or minimizes the objective function in an extreme way, such as allocating all resources to one option (e.g., "choosing nukes" over other alternatives).
- **Non-linear or discontinuous models**: When the objective function or constraints involve non-linear relationships (e.g., binary variables multiplied by continuous ones), Solver may struggle and converge on an unexpected or suboptimal extreme solution.
- **Starting point influence**: Solver uses gradient-based methods (like GRG Nonlinear), which can lead to different results depending on the initial values. A poor starting point might push the solution toward an extreme outcome.
- **Unintended variable behavior**: If variables are not properly constrained (e.g., allowing negative values when not intended), Solver may exploit this to achieve a "better" objective value in a counterintuitive way.
To address this:
- **Review constraints** and ensure they reflect real-world limits.
- Use **"Make Unconstrained Variables Non-Negative"** in Solver Options if negative values are not allowed.
- Try **different solving methods** (e.g., Simplex LP for linear problems, or OpenSolver for more robust handling of complex models).
- Set **integer or binary constraints** explicitly when needed.
- Test with **different starting values** to check solution consistency.
If the model is complex, consider **linearizing** non-linear components (e.g., avoid multiplying continuous and binary variables directly) to improve Solver reliability.
