The best resource for that type of info is Oryx’s visually confirmed list. They have one for both Russian losses and Ukrainian losses. Every link is to a picture or video of the loss; click a few. Then just scroll and scroll and scroll.

Did someone just defect?

war is always the worst possible option

I’m currently living in a country that was freed from British colonialism via war. I’m damn happy that war happened, I’m damn happy we have our own country.

The fun problem with isolationism is it just allows problems to fester; then you have something much worse to deal with later. You may want to ignore the world, but the world won’t ignore you.

Edit: An Iranian proxy has been shooting civilian shipping and civilian crews from all countries for the last year. There are problems one cannot simply ignore.

Yep! He is pretty popular and does some nice reviews. He generally likes pointing out negative aspects a bit more. But he is one of the more honest and amusing reviewers out there.

He is the same guy that used to do the Zero Punctuation reviews.

Their ability to make nukes has been delayed several times in the past, another delaying action is likely better than letting them get nukes.

Internet connected devices are a mistake. Not only is there non-existent security updates for the device, it means there is a timer on the life of the functions of the device. If a device cannot function offline, you will have a gimped (or completely dead) product soon.

functions like scheduling a charge will no longer work

Case and point. Why did the device ever need the internet to run a clock? It didn’t, but because it was ‘smart’, now it can’t operate a basic time function.

Go for it man!

I wonder why

The US isn’t in a war with hundreds of thousands of casualties, the entire economy re-geared to produce wartime materials, huge needs to on-shore production as foreign partners cut ties, oil and ammo depots exploding all over the country cutting the two major sources of export revenue, central bank interest rates at 19% putting even the safest of loans at credit-card levels of interest, demographic decline that makes Europe’s problems look downright peachy, and persistent double-digit inflation wiping out the real value of everyone’s savings and making it even harder to afford imports.

In short, the US has a healthy economy and Russia has a wartime economy that is doing it’s best to win the war before an economic collapse.

Russia faces a shortage of engineers, turners, and CNC machine operators. The Russian job portal Avito in September received 2,000 resumes for turners, in comparison to 60,000 position openings. For CNC operators, there were only 600 resumes for 18,600 vacancies, despite the alluring salaries.

Those are some awful numbers. You know a large percentage of those few resumes are going to be junk applicants. But with those huge disparity rates, they are probably going to get hired anyway and the businesses are just going to attempt to do their best to get the junk applicants to be somewhat useful.

On further thought the glow could be from reentry and not from burning rocket motors. So, no I’m not sure.

Currently waiting to see the level of damage and more detailed reports.

From watching the videos, it looks like a ton of low-level missile intercepts. The rocket motors are still active, which isn’t what you see for ballistic missiles in their terminal phase.

Probably will be lots of damage due to debris though.

Yeah, missile intercepts always look cool. Though, it is unfortunate that it’s due to what is assuredly an escalation. Israel took the first Iranian missile salvo two months ago without direct retaliation; I don’t see that happening again here.

Yeah, I have zero desire to give them money. Luckily, there are solid options that aren’t them, notably the steam deck for portable gaming and pc/xbox/ps5 for home gaming.

The PLCAA offers basic protections against nuisance lawsuits. Much like one shouldn’t sue Makita for a crazy murdering someone with a sawzall, one shouldn’t sue S&W for a crazy murdering someone with a gun.

It’s the tip of a shaped charge warhead, though that particular one does look awfully like a barrel.

What you’re missing is the understanding that this will keep getting worse, till we are all dead

Apparently the climate scientists are missing that understanding too, as I have yet to see any of them claim such.

Yeah, I think someone in Saudi Arabia looked at the expenses for The Line‡, and then put out a number that sounds nice and would help with that massive outflow; but like you said, didn’t trifle with a more realistic target. Meanwhile, Russia is pumping with whatever hasn’t been hit by a drone yet, as they can use every ruble they can get; depressing the price.

‡I still can’t get over how, instead of building up an industry in Saudi Arabia to vary the economy, instead they went for a vanity mega-project to … attract tourists?

when we’re all dead from climate change

Would you mind sharing an article from a climate scientist that claims all humans will die? What I have seen is that life will get harder, certain crops will not grow in certain areas anymore, resource-related wars will increase, and weather events will get stronger and more numerous. What I have not seen is that these things result in the extinction of humans. Which is a vastly different statement.

Everyone dying from climate change is not what climate scientists are predicting. Lying about reality will not help the cause.
