I think they are just casting a big net. We mods are required to use 2 factor authentication, and I can be logged in and viewing the mod forum, and it will still hit me with a bot check if I even move between threads in the mod forum. It doesnt have any regard for permissions.

Per the article: "The Soviet Union lost an estimated 14,000 to 16,000 troops during its decade-long war in Afghanistan. Russia’s First and Second Chechen Wars claimed between 12,000 and 25,000 military fatalities." Thats leaving out: "Even when combined with every other Soviet and Russian military intervention since 1950—including Georgia, Syria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and earlier fighting in Ukraine before 2022—the total remains dramatically below the losses estimated in the current war."

^I was in Anaheim at the Space Tech Expo 2026 a couple weeks ago and my hotel was directly across the street from one of the Disneyland entrances. Every night at 9:30 they put on a hell of a fireworks show!

In a first for me, I am thrilled to report that one of my bird houses has produced a second nesting pair of this season. The first pair produced two chicks and then everyone moved out (I think) and now a new pair (I think) has moved in. I often wonder if the same birds come back but its impossible to differentiate between sparrows and Ive got a lot of them around here.

I would imagine Google street view already has a chokehold on that department. Cool website though, I think its the first time Ive seen a page bring in information from the sides.

Im sure most of you were also wondering; "could a viking longboat really hold 27 people" and the answer is yes: "A typical Viking longboat held between 40 and 60 people. Smaller vessels were manned by a crew of about 25 to 30, while exceptional royal warships (like the legendary Long Serpent) could accommodate 70 to 80 individuals."
