I'm hopeful. Ventura is very black and white, so I expect those that wanted and will want to vote him, already did, so in the second round he'll get the same 25%. Fingers crossed.

I'm afraid if something is disturbing his sleep, it's not the casualties, but the prospect of him personally losing this war. So if he needs to send another million, they are but cheers pieces. "Women will birth new ones" is the popular saying in that insane asylum.

Yup, I cannot find the original article, but I think you're right. What's more is that in Ukrainian, metastasis is virtually never used in a verb form (you can buy it's awkward), so it's indeed caused by the author knowing it has a verb form in English, but being somewhat unfamiliar with its use.

I hope there's no gate

It's the bigger more expensive ones

Remember when "Initially, Hamas was discreetly supported by Israel, as a counter-balance to the secular Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) to prevent the creation of an independent Palestinian state."

"some" as in "few". A country which can afford to waste 1.2 million lives in a meat grinder is likely made of those who don't mind the war. Especially if they're winning and vodka and Coca-Cola are affordable. And when they say they want the war to end, they mean they want to get back to winning and affordable vodka, not that the war is a terrible thing.

I don't think it's a loophole. Surgeons hurt people in order to prevent a greater pain. ruZZia is just a cancer.

In case yours is not a retorical question, it's a terrorist tactic.

While there are reports of people being sold into military slavery or fooled to sign the contract, majority are there voluntarily - whether following an ideology, desire to avoid prison or simply money.

As sad as it is that people have to make those choices, they still made them and given how pootin has weaponised political apathy, they also don't care about their actions until they meet a drone.

As I'm slowly evolving my own flavour of spec driven development, I'm starting to think about the generated code as a secondary artefact where main quality criteria is that it's doing what it needs to and it's covered with tests.

I guess my current analogy is that I don't care about how readable or dry is the assembly code generated by compiler.

I have the specifications and the working code with tests. I can always regenerate it if I need to.

But. I still read the produced code, steer the design and correct the obvious blunders. No vibes.

Ah, that's a relief, I was afraid it was me in the picture...

 

By degrading a near-peer adversary’s military capability, gaining unprecedented battlefield intelligence, and accelerating the testing and development of advanced weapons systems, the U.S. is realizing a Return on Strategic Investment (ROSI) of 321% to 797%

 

2.5 years to halve the reserves, the spend cannot be linear and I also don't think they need to get to zero to have a collapse.

... The economy is being funded by the cash reserves, which increases inflation, which leads to another round of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, which makes it harder to borrow money, which is necessary for economic growth. Eventually, the cash reserves will run out. It took 2.5 years to deplete half the Russian reserves. Russia withdrew $37 billion to cover deficits in December 2022. It withdrew $20 billion to cover deficits in December 2023. It only has $54 billion left.

 

If anything, russia is showing clear signs of sunk-cost fallacy

In today's #vatniksoup I'll talk about Russian Nazis and introduce Russian neo-Nazi movements and paramilitary groups like Rusich and PMC Wagner. They're best-known for being funded by the Kremlin and being responsible for the "denazification" in Ukraine.

 

So basically, we're waiting for a (hopefully very soon) systemic collapse of moscovite army since they bet both their attack and defence on artillery
