It also looks like a FPV drone hit the trees near the shooter. With him standing up like that he possibly caught some shrapnel from it. Maybe one of the shooters buddies was in the trees ate that explosion.

Record high estimated numbers of Russian casualties reported on the same day as well.

🤔

I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.

I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.

You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.

Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it's still shit so the hope is very thin.

When I was going to college I worked with a lady who had her bachelor's in psychology. We were working in a warehouse unloading trailers together. That was a lesson I took to heart.

When I declared my major it was in for something with lots of job possibilities.

My first Linux installation was with Xubunto put it on a old win98 laptop and used it as a gaming server. Must have been around '06

My first regular Unbunto install was 8.04 onto WinME desktop. I put it on a children's desk and chair that I had built for my 4 year old older son. It was mainly used for PBSkids and some educational games.

Connect has a no preload option. Not sure if it works but the toggle is there.

The whole cache buildup has been an issue since it started. I have gotten in the habit of clearing the cache anytime the app seems to slow down. Around once a month or so.

To be fair lots of other apps have a cache buildup issue as well but nothing as severe as connect.

I saw about 8 seconds from explosion to landing.

So that puts the apex of that flip at around 75m (250ish feet).

We might be looking at a record.

All those FPV drones that they are using are not pretty. It's the absolute bare-bones drone that they can get. Their effectiveness has been shown over and over again in videos. It's not about aesthetics, it's about effectiveness.

If the women from 13 get involved, 13.

They will be using readily available objects as weapons however.

If made from ash those spears would have been under 10lbs.

Also the spear tips were probably not that heavy. 5" long made from iron and diamond shaped to pierce armor.

They have found metal butt ends for them to counteract weight of the spear tip. If they counterbalanced the spear correctly it would take very little effort to hold it in position.

My wife must be extra tasty. I might get one bite for every 20 she gets. I also rarely react to any mosquito bite. Just a small bump if anything.

I think we'll see more of this in the coming weeks due to the destruction of some of the main ammo storage locations.

Yes. Given the clarity of the recent images of FPV drones attacking artillery pieces this type was pretty much a given. (artillery is usually 15-20km behind the lines).

Drone flight time depends on how much weight it is lifting and how high up it goes. That looks like a pretty light load so I would guess around 30-40 minutes. Fully loaded at max weight the flight time would be around 10 minutes No way to know for sure without some more data. I imagine they are sending it up high (1000m or more) to avoid it being spotted. They can then send it hovering over the front providing high quality signal far to the rear.

Public indecency in front of a group of police officers was goto for many homeless people in my state. It's a minor crime with up to 90 days in jail.

Flash th cops in late November, get out in early March.

Much safer than trying to live on the streets over the winter.

Surprising close numbers to the MLRS that Ukraine says they have destroyed. 1,230 reported destroyed on the most recent update.

Removed from bases 1135.

This indicates that the reports of losses are likely pretty accurate. It still means that Ukraine is facing around the same number in the field unfortunately as Russia has been able to mostly replace its losses.

The last major antitrust action on this scale in the U.S. 8 years to process.

This type of lawsuit is why the billionaire bro's are backing the senile rapist and felon. Making them play somewhat fair ruins their business plan.

That was 20 years ago. We have clawed out way out of poverty and held onto it by the skin of our teeth at times. It was not easy and still isn't but we have mostly made it.

However it's always just step away from falling back down. One layoff due to "market conditions" and soon enough they try to shove you down in that hole.

Like the layoff notification I got this morning, yep one of those can we meet e-mails at 7am...

Jokes on them though, I saw this one coming 6 months ago and set myself up to take all of the suppliers and customers for my division. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have everything on-line.

I am currently laying here going holy fuck, I am really going to do it....

The hardest time my wife and I had financially was when we were escaping poverty. We made 2K to much the year my first son was born to qualify for any government assistance. My wife's main memories of when he was first born was of the endless stream of bill collectors calling in to demand payment. We were buying diapers instead of paying them.

Itty bitty rod shaped things. More like a bunch of really little dicks.
