We regularly had to go through a dozen or more spray nozzles just to prep one single-use manual spray gun in order to meet the pressure regulation requirements. Literally no one could meet our tolerance demands for a few years. No one else on Earth had a need for such tight tolerances.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/l...f0867da37218cad Russian MoD is shifting the goal posts just a teensy bit. I'm sure when this is all over they'll be back to telling everyone this was just an exercise all along. quote:I just want to circle back to those words from the Russian defence ministry, which appear to signal a downgrading of Russian military ambitions in Ukraine. To date, the assumption of most analysts had been that Russia’s aim included taking Kyiv and replacing Volodymyr Zelenskiy and the current Ukraine government with a more pliant administration that would no longer be looking to the EU and to Nato but to Moscow. psydude fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Mar 25, 2022 |

interesting interview: https://twitter.com/EuromaidanPress/status/1507436900658860036?s=20&t=aKO9iaAPaQIbNO_OPufTuw final paragraph, referencing trees finally having leaves: "One of the key components of Budanov’s job has been to organize a force of guerrillas who will stay behind Russian lines. He wouldn’t say much about the force, except that it is “a very large number of people,” raising the prospect of a drawn-out insurgency like that in Afghanistan or Vietnam. He mentioned that hunters had been drafted into the group, and I thought about the Ukrainian woodsman who blew himself up near Chernihiv with a grenade rather than hand over a list of local hunters to Russian troops. “Our warriors, our servicemen, even our hunters will start hunting the aggressor, the Russian forces, with their rifles in the forests,” he said. “I should say that soon the spring will come, our forests will become green, and a real hell will open up for the aggressor.""

https://twitter.com/polinaivanovva/status/1507400322829930500 What sounds a lot like an announcement of a (partial) withdrawal seems a bit odd given how busy the Kremlin is whipping its people into war frenzy. I wonder whether they cleared this with the top or just decided "gently caress this poo poo, bring the boys home?" I'm pretty sure the guy on the right with the perplexed look is Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev a.k.a. "The butcher of Mariupol," and the man on the left is probably Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi, head of the Russian General Staff's Main Operational Directorate, but who is sitting between them?

In slightly lighter news, if any of you build models, you might be aware that quite a few kitmakers (along with producers of decals and aftermarket parts) are based in Ukraine. Well, as of today, in the least surprising new release news to ever happen, BigPlanesKits announced a Bayraktar TB2 in 1/72 scale, while ClearProp Models has one in 1/48.

They know those things, they just don't matter to them at all. I have a special hatred for MBA's. I started my IT career right at the tail end of the dot com bust. Turns out a shitload of MBA's went and got loving windows 2000 MCSE's from test bootcamps and planted themselves into all levels of IT management. I'm currently trying to push back against a bunch of MPA's(think MBA but public sector) trying to turn us into a 24/7 shop with 8-5 staff without paying any comp or overtime. gently caress them.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:https://twitter.com/polinaivanovva/status/1507400322829930500 There was some reporting yesterday that the recent Ukrainian counter offensives could form the western prong of Russia's salient into a pocket. IF true (big if) Russia pulling those troops back saying, 'Mission Accomplished!' could be trying to give cover to what is, in essence, a full retreat by asserting it's a planned withdrawal and any reporting to the contrary is propaganda. Really BIG would be if Ukraine could actually form that pocket thus making this claim even more absurd. "We won! Seriously! You can let those guys go, they were all done anyway!" I'd have to imagine that having the better parts of 2 CAAs worth of assault forces in a pocket would give Ukraine a bit more heft at the negotiating table.
