I would like to see NATO countries, particularly Poland, start shooting any hostile vehicle entering range of their air defenses. Not just things heading to their country specifically, anything in range. This isn’t the first time Russia sent shit into other countries this war, and it certainly won’t be the last.

Watched cop shows

There is also an aspect that people more likely to get caught are also those more likely to have uncleanly homes. People with their shit together slip under the radar much more often. Hell, even being able to stick to ‘only commit one crime at a time’ is a pretty big deal. Ex: don’t have drugs in your car with expired plates. A bunch of people on cop shows get caught for dumb shit like that.

The third person interviewed, the guy with glasses and a backpack, looked extremely nervous and seemed to overall be very careful in considering what he says. I have a strong feeling the statements he made were not how he actually feels, but what he feels are safe to say to a camera.

He is also one of the younger people interviewed, which makes me wonder if such statements from others interviewed just have a more well practiced veneer on them, or if the others have built up significantly more apathy over the years.

The teacher at the end was probably the most forward. Which was a very welcome difference from the rest.

Yep. And phone typing is the ‘hunt and peck’ method of keyboard typing. Which is unfortunate because it’s ingraining the slowest way to type onto a whole generation.

That is nice to hear. Currently they only have a few models with even hybrid offerings. Seems silly to not at least offer hybrids across the line.

Honestly, given how annoying the alternatives are, I would say just buy a USB drive and put the bios file on there. You can get very good ones for under $20 and almost free ones if you don’t mind having an old tiny one.

The modern tactical nuke is as strong as what the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. People have this idea that a tactical nuke is ‘small’, but what is really the case is they are full sized nukes, and strategic nukes are simply larger. From a MAD perspective, there is no reason why dropping a nuke the strength of what was dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki would somehow be notably different than a larger nuke.

Write the president, tell them to allow Ukraine to use US missiles deep in Russian territory. Russia sure has no qualms about doing so to Ukraine with their foreign weapons.

I like the meme pictures :)

I understand why they don’t include the info, but would be real nice to know how many Bradleys they included here. They have done pretty well over there.

Ah, a retrowave styled combat video. Haven’t seen one of those recently.

For everyone’s viewing pleasure; a video in the same style: N A T O W A V E

Yeah, it certainly isn’t untenable in Russia right now. The main issue is that they are running out of levers to pull, so conditions that exasperate the issue don’t have solid counter-balancing options.

Two solid levers are to defend the currency (requires spending forex reserves to buy up rubles) and raising central bank interest rates. We see the reserves are drawing down in OP’s post and the central bank rates are already at 18% (compared to ~5.5% in the US). The high interest rates increasingly handycap your economy as you push them up. At 18%, it is already nearing credit card levels of interest simply to finance safe loans.

Things aren’t dire for Russia today, but they are getting closer and closer to a situation they may not be able to pull out of in the future.

They can, but they are already dealing with high inflation and extremely high federal interest rates to try to stamp it down. Printing your way out of the problem will likely produce a larger problem.

Putin will probably go for it rather than admit he made a horrid choice two years ago.

Looked like he was doin’ fine until he dropped it. Probably could have disarmed it. Anyway, 🌻.

Poland needs to step up their game. Belarus is shooting down more Russian shit than they are.

You are looking at Russian tracers bouncing off the water where a Ukrainian unmanned kamikaze boat is.

Any invaders in that tree line are likely having a very bad time continuing their invasionary goals.

a 3rd partition formatted to FAT32

exFAT is also pretty solid for this purpose and doesn’t have the file size limitations that FAT32 has.

Correct, it isn’t just an executive order away. It’s his administration, an administration he appointed, that decides it. He nominated the leader of the DEA, Milgram. Apparently Biden didn’t bother picking an administrator who would prioritize re- or de-scheduling cannabis. That is something you can confidently hold Biden accountable for.

OC spray, aka ‘oleoresin capsicum spray’, aka pepper spray. People often get it for self defense against humans or bears. The bear version tends to be a much larger and stronger bottle.
