Russia unveils its "solution" to Ukrainian FPV drones:



I heartily approve this genius decision to make Russian motorcycles slower and even less maneuverable.  It makes a successful hit even more likely.  Plus, you can put a few chickens in the cage and have yourself a mobile chicken coop.  Or maybe take Sandra Bullock with you and reenact Bird Box.  The possibilities are endless.

This is an awful lot of effort for something with very dubious benefit.  At this point, it looks like logic is out the window and whatever psychological benefit this may provide is in.  Cope cage, coop cage - something along those lines.

Doubled the loss rate since this time last year.

Half whay through the gunslinger after a day.

It's a bit absurd/surreal, which i am usually not the greatest fan of.
But i was expecting that in part after seeing that movie with the gf. And it works better on paper, though i do feel like i am missing lot of context.

But intriguing enough. Enough mystique. Enough gritt.
Darker feel than the movie, which is an improvement.
I like it so far.

Russia still has elevated losses: 1130 troops, 101 vehicles, 12 tanks, and 44 artillery in the past 24 hours

Combat footage, which somehow wasn't deleted by Youtube, has a Russian armored transport driving over an already grievously wounded Russian soldier.  It was super duper NSFW, so here's the PG-rated version:

The Lord giveth,and the Lord taketh away.
Does that make the Lord an indian giver?

Feels worse when it's a retriever or lab

O tempore, O mores.

Well-put Hydra. Trying demographics is hard to deal with and politicians are the obvious target. A huge, aging generation with plenty of wealthy that make up a very divisive "financial class" have thrown their cohorts under the bus while getting them to blame big government, immigrants and lazy millennials.

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."

I don't know.

Doesn't make me hard.
