Bah, wrong thread.

Well, don't really have to imagine Nazis on social media...

Darkside Detective's done. The penultimate bonus case is a joke, but the last one was enjoyable - I liked the character just introduced so you can get the guy out of the pool.

Hooray, Murray's back. Well or so I hope at least, Gilbert's always been a bit of a whiner about needing a "true" MI3 😛

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/world/europe/zelensky-nato-merkel-sarkozy.html Sort of a strange approach to take, at this point

People are weirder now, almost got into an altercation because I was "taking all the good avocadoes" in a grocery.

Seems peace talks progressed a bit https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/820489.html

Poland has a couple hundred they can spare, no?

Probably just some very good Hind pilots benefitting from NATO intelligence. Maybe is some Azov people that did it, they don't want their legend to grow so they denied it

Yep, and they were lying.

Iran vs US in group, haha. Shame KSA wasn't there too. Canada probably won't get out of their group, with Belgium and Croatia.

Even if true that just means they'd have the upper hand, not that Ukraine can't send anything up in the air.

Surprised people thinking it is false flag on places like Reddit when they lap up every tale of Ukrainian prowess. Not implausible for two gunships to do that, though. They still do, still have pilots flying, read some puff piece about them earlier in the week.

Is great when a client hears "Production" when I say "UAT" on a Teams call. Sucks for him

Been getting good reviews, I've enjoyed some of Raw Fury's other stuff

Russians leaving Hostomel, so I guess that's it for the Kiev campaign.

You don't honestly think debates online are 'constructive' do you ?

Yep, am aware they do it, was just a joke on the brevity of the incursion, no need to get snarky.

Well yes, it doesn't always matter, as I wrote - it helps, in terms of getting quality staff and facilities and size helps for talent pool. Smaller, poorer nations have to wait for a good generation.

Yep, but in terms of qualifying the US has a fair amount of leeway in terms how far they can let their quality dip before it becomes an issue. And with the country's size and wealth, that helps as well. All the irritating homerism has started here, the WC draw is a Big Deal here in Canada complete with moronic promos
