Brief article on the meat grinder

Wrong thread.

Most of it I see is people who paid off their loans griping at it. For some reason. Surprised to not see more fear mongering about the Commies though

Talking about Sweden and Finland is a case of spinning things a bit, though. I suppose in the Moskva's case, you could be very creative and say the storm just took advantage of the missile damage to sink her But those two countries are now against Russia moreso, no? So just a sneaky interpretation of it, half truths and all. Likewise with Shoigu's take (military pauses always have funny explanations). Outright lies isn't much to be shocked at either, though. If you've been around long enough anyway. Have to save face no matter what, hah.

Spin is indeed startling to see.

Honestly didn't know much of what Serbia did in the war, sort of funny that's a total blank spot for me. Game sounds potentially interesting, play both theater and field commander.

Always need bodies for rear echelon activities, as well. Skimming Wikipedia he did agree he would have died on front line, though. Well Kalibrs and Iskanders aren't cheap, and they've fired a lot of those. Their 152mm stockpiles must be immense, read accounts in east of seemingly endless barrages, assuming it's not fear mongering for free weaponry.

Well the old fans that are not "retro fascists" anyway Another game worth grabbing on a sale for maybe 9 bucks.

Office Space warned us about this

Well you can calculate losses via material and use of weapons. Hard to know for certain for the Russians, but it is something to wonder about. As for what they lost, I think the Oryx guy online handles that, or some other OSINT can help. Well and you can trust the Pentagon BoJo back in Kiev, things must be bad in UK..

It's not a strange question, really. The war has an economic dimension. And also it wasn't equating anything beyond what the US and others are giving Ukraine and Russia spending. Strange to turn him back, why give up free bodies.

Almost near the end in Andromeda, sort of disappointed finding one ark is in a side mission but oh well. Some of the banter is a bit funny, like asking why we're whispering after a stealth mission has gone **** up already. Understand the gripes about open world syndrome - dumb grindy quests and wandering all over the place. Really is best to handle it like a single player MMORPG (reminds me of playing TOR, somewhat). I should have played a melee or shotgun/melee character, seems like it'd be fun to be an assault marine type with this combat system. Definitely not going to replay this for quite some time, heh. Characters don't really seem like anything worse than we got in the main series to be honest, either. At least considering it's one game vs three. After this, think I'll waste my bonus money on Farthest Frontier

Going to be hard to translate dead and wounded into dollars, so I think the Russians are probably worse off.

This will probably suck.

Another $3B in aid from US today. Don't think anything sexy in it. Massaro probably upset they are not donating a Nimitz class.

Never seemed worth more than a sale price to me. Probably still is though

Ah that sucks, majestic.

The weaponry fetish in this war is hilarious. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/22/russian-security-service-accuses-ukraine-over-darya-dugina-killing Estonia is next, obviously.

Japanese corporate culture is pretty crap yes. Good to know about that particular boss, though. I've been lucky, never had bad bosses - well was the one drunk that'd complain about working until 2100 when he came in at 1200... - just really awful management in some places. The former makes every day a sucky experience, the latter just draws out the misery over time

Or just warped by NA corporate culture. Complaints are more on duties rather than hours, which is fine, I think - hiring support but making them do DevOps work is a bit much. Good way to get free things like kudos and praise, at least. Sounds like something a **** boss would have on their door, heh.

Settled all the planets in Andromeda. Must have settings wrong but the game blinds me a lot - go to menu and come back to sunlit scene, white out. Disappointed to find a giant worm in the desert and just have it be background scenery though.

Best theory so far
