Ukraine Conflict - The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his
Russia had plenty of everything before the start of the war. Imo, what we are witnessing is literally a failure of every other conceivable metric: planning, predeployment, equipment readiness, leadership capability, troop training and morale, equipment that doesnt perform to expectations, execution of objectives, etc... Now theyve suffered brain drain and crushing technological sanctions, so I dont see any way theyre a conventional force threat again in the next decade or longer.

It really does seem to have a high mortality rate. When I was reading the link about him, there were two more links to other k-pop star suicides.

Im of the mindset of "if it aint broke, dont fix it". Iirc, you guys are on electric out there, so no, it wont explode. If it goes bad youll know it by no hot water and/or a puddle underneath it.- Ukraine Conflict - The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his
Lol yeah, didnt someone post a link in one of the earlier iterations about truckloads of US weapons and supplies already being sold off? But Im just generally interested in seeing some specs or performance of Chinese equipment. Everyones invincible right up until they get to a battlefield. I still cant believe how badly Russia is performing.- Cinema and Movie Thread: flickering images

Dang 4k is expensive! I usually try to synchronize the models in my kitchen. Right now my fridge, stove and hood / microwave are all the same manufacturer (Frigidaire). Who manufactured the other appliances in your kitchen?- Ukraine Conflict - The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his

I finally grew enough hair on my ass to take the plunge and open up my laptop to install another 8GB RAM more. I was nervous about the creaking noises that I heard while watching the how to video so I bought myself an iFixit "prying and opening tool assortment" kit and it went super easy!

I dont know why the US would be interested in wrapping it up? Were not losing anything in it. Warfare is business, and business is booming (excuse the pun). Every single weapon we give them needs to be replaced in our inventory, and now some European countries are buying our equipment like theyre planning to storm Russia themselves (Poland in particular). In a bit of black humor, this is a proxy war for the US which completely exposed Russia as a legitimate conventional threat. We can fight to the last Ukrainian.- What You've Done Today - Don't do today, what you can get someone else to do tomorrow
You should check your HVAC vents and smoke detectors for pre-existing cameras. Or maybe just the battery is low.- Ukraine Conflict - Continues
