Pretty sure that there were a bunch being sold in military surplus stores elsewhere 10 years ago.

It's federally legal to own demilled rocket launchers and grenades. No background check required, it just has to be rendered inoperable and unrepairable. State and local govs can ban them, but in most of the country, no one gives a gently caress.

My LAW has holes drilled in the tube, and I gutted the copper inside when I turned it into a bong (that I still haven't fixed properly).

You can still find tubes of a handful of varieties at surplus stores, just make sure any you might buy is properly demilled and your state/county don't have additional laws against them. LAWs and AT4s can be found for $300-1000 depending on condition. Mine was free, it was a familiarization training aid my unit was dumpstering, now it has a Bob Ross outline spraypainted on it.

I remember buying a dummy grenade at a gun show for $10 when I was like, 13. 'Merica.

HEB is connected to Piggly Wiggly?

Ah ok, so HEB started out as an early Piggly Wiggly Franchise until around WW2 and during the end of the war decided they didn't need the name and just went with the family name, H.E.B.

I always wondered after moving to Texas why HEB was so dominant in most places in Texas.

Evidence of the rape and murder of a 3 year old dumped naked (blurred) on top of her also dead and raped 17 year old sister and others. This is some of the most heinous poo poo I’ve ever seen.

I am going to say again this is horrific imagery and is the type that never leaves you. I won’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to see it, but it is important and newsworthy, if only to help push more towards the economic crippling of Russia and it’s military. No more excuses fro, Germany. It’s over. Total trade ban.

I’m sorry I’m just so angry and depressed about this, I mean a loving three year old. loving Beria didn’t even do that!

Saukkis posted:

The latest report from ISW claims north-west of Kyiv has been cleared of Russians and all have returned to Belarus. Frankly I find it hard to believe that simply because of logistical ineptitude, it doesn't feel possible for Russians to have withdrawn this quickly and I haven't seen reports of mass surrenders either.

It was not what they call an "orderly retreat". They left equipment in working order, they left arms and ammunition, they left people. Several dozen Russians only escaped by dropping their gear and swimming across the Irpin river. Also a lot of them were killed on the way out.

Ie it was a total and absolute clusterfuck. The units that withdrew are unlikely to be in any shape to fight, if the units even maintained cohesion to begin with. There's tons of Russians wandering around in Belarus right now trying to find their unit, if it even still exists.

There's unsurprisingly rumours that there's going to be a big push on the LNR/DNR fronts in the next couple of days. Seeing as the Russian forces have already lost nearly a third of their entire tank force arranged pre invasion just from visually confirmed losses, is there any good way to estimate how many more they would have to lose before they can't push anymore? Similarly, can we guess how many men would they need to lose before a front of this size becomes totally unsustainable?

I'm not military so I've no idea if it's even possible to estimate the numbers of men or equipment needed to sustain a front/momentum. I can understand if the answer is just "it depends".

It depends on the the defenses. Ukraine, for good reason, hasn't been publishing their defensive situation or the state of their forces. So, really hard to tell.

Maybe the defenders are all tapped out with all their tanks dead and out of fuel and they are down to their last magazine of ammo and have been eating rats for two weeks? Or, maybe they just go reinforced by a newly constituted brigade of reservists who have been training and kitting out on the border with Poland and all their supply lines are just buzzing with fresh dumps of ammo and food in nice NATO standard packages.

At some point though you can kind of look at the size of the front and the number of soldiers trying to take it/defend it and go, uh, that's pretty sparse.

Edit: FWIW there have been some reports of units moved to the LNR/DNR front who have refused to move into the line. So it could get exciting if Russia decides for a MAX EFFORT push and there are big gaping holes where some BTGs decided to gently caress off.

I still think it's highly unlikely, but now it should be much easier for people to understand why the people of Ukraine might not care about hypothetical nuclear war. When the worst imaginable has already happened to either family or friends, there's not much reason to care about potential escalations.

Russia just created generations of people who will be willing to do anything to hurt them back in a nation sharing an enormous land border with them. Real smart of them to do that.
