Can use lower quality troops to shield better ones that need rest. I think Ukraine used their TDF in a similar fashion, at least in intent, not as poorly as Russia seems to be using these. And defending with them is not as bad as using them as attack.

Good thing Greene is an outlier in the GOP.

Interesting reading on the air war. Well or as it seems both sides trying to avoid getting blown out of the sky by the SAMs -https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/special-resources/russian-air-war-and-ukrainian-requirements-air-defence They do mention Gripens being a good option for donation.

I'd prefer we do it the opposite way we do it now, extra light at the end of the day in winter is nicer for me.

Returned to Afterlife, very rough going back to a city builder from 1995 or so, but the banter with the advisors is amusing and the details on some of the punishments are funny as well.

Propaganda is a wonderous thing

News to me that I did. Is just the amusing experience of the war and its marketing.

It's always funny how Ukraine can literally do no wrong.

Don't think it's to Russia's advantage to destroy it

Well, the geopolitical concern. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/05/world/europe/kyiv-ukraine-electricity-russia-infrastructure.html https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-bipartisan-us-support-until-193600576.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAG6m9252r6RCLjPLGjYsxhPezC5jnkEywryxjApDBed59m1doPPXyry86Odw6t-Y4N7E7h5ea0Gg0LG4TuVtzlsUKep_QG91kNwf8HLNx1Pidn4r21Ga2JEMA1DfczFEp4FnLf3agv0CfgwaoYGJ-r1IgfitxlIgdh2mMn8Y7dDm Related to the power concern, the big transformers are a big weakness, cost a lot, aren't exactly churned out. My dad's company makes these, they must be loving this

That just proves Antifa is everywhere.

Interesting to note what this person marked as obscure or forgotten.

The Wokerati struck again, poor Musk.

US does need to burn cash on another adventure. https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-vows-free-iran-west-coast-campaign-speech-2022-11-04/ "Don't worry, we're gonna free Iran. They’re gonna free themselves pretty soon," Biden said during a wide-ranging campaign speech in California, as dozens of demonstrators gathered outside holding banners supporting Iranian protesters."

Back to WoW, helping friend level (although with the 50% XP buff, hardly needed). Is always nice to see my dead server spring to life preceding an expansion, only to die off 2 months later (server is so skewed Horde anyway). Resumed playing FM2018, still stuck at Brno, got to CL semifinal (!) there I met Real Madrid who smoked me. Should just go with the meta for that version and play 4-2-3-1.

Well no one said metal fans were smart 😛

This was before St Anger was out, Kazaa/WinMX/etc were full of fake St Anger songs. I found out about Holochaust, er, Darcane, er Mind-A-Stray that way

Apparently this made the rounds as a fake St. Anger song. If only it were real.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/03/ontario-doug-ford-strike-fine-bill-28-canada Of all things to use a sort of nuclear option as the notwithstanding clause, our meshback Premier uses this. Also of note is that the people in this province are so stupid they don't even know which union is striking.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-ethiopia-tigray-peace-agreement/ Peace in Tigray, hopefully this lasts. 600k dead as quoted by the article, damn.

Impressive that they cancelled the lease in April but only now did they kick them out. Also they are apparently wrecking cell towers, boats, as well.
