The irony was that PegLegActual was also a social media grifter (EDIT: Grifter is too strong, but they were doing a lot of self-promoting) and stopped posting the moment they were told they weren't allowed to keep self-promoting their social media channels.

IIRC the real issue was that nobody admining this site wants to be adjudicating between the good guys and the Caro's in implementing a 'don't post from a warzone you've travelled to' rule so it got blanket application and he was told to stop posting.

Yeah I editted my post because calling him a grifter was too strong but I can really understand preferring not having people talk about their warzone travels no matter the reason.

Russia promises severe consequences of Western aid continues to funnel into ukraine. What are those consequences? Depleting their cruise missile stocks. I mean the missile attacks have basically fizzled out yes they're still horrible but they aren't knocking power down like they did three months ago.. I mean we went from the entire country having major blackouts to basically the lights on In Kherson in lieu of missile attacks

Goofy stuff non-included karate is also pretty straightforward and practical but it kinda expects you to have the frame for it since it really doesn't do those locks or other stuff like some others do.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:Russia promises severe consequences of Western aid continues to funnel into ukraine. What are those consequences? Depleting their cruise missile stocks. between all the 'precision' missiles they have left Ukraine mentioned as of the last missile attack they only have a grand total of ~150 remaining. The problem isn't those, which while dangerous, pale in comparison to the number of dumbfire air defense rockets they still have to use on ground targets.

If a steady soup supply is guaranteed, the guys will master this plane in a third of the time that it takes to train a normal pilot. Soup, my friends. Always the right answer for the fighter.

Oh man, coming up on a year. I remember driving Pegleg to the border at night. It was still early-ish days, so the towns on the Polish-Ukrainian border were the last sources of light and as we drove to the Medyka crossing, beyond which there was just utter darkness. poo poo got real solem in that last stretch, esp. after a week of loving about in Warsaw. It was the middle of the night when we came into the Polish border office with bags of various gear and Leg’s, well, peg leg, to the bemusment of the lone Polish border guard inside. Old Leg got in, bounced around and came out a few weeks later and there’s at least a few dozen UA army guys that benefited directly from him being there.

Somewhere deep in Russia, deep in the back of a warehouse a quartermaster is eyeing a row of wooden catapults and doing some rough calculations for how many can fit on a rail car.

HonorableTB posted:Speaking of warzones here's the latest casualty count: Are they speedrunning to 400k by the end of the year? I also thought Aikido was a perfectly good martial art for average people to learn what to do if a Eagles fan throws a roundhouse at a bar and you need to put him on the ground then leave. I thought its whole thing was do the minimum necessary to defend and then extract yourself from a situation.

Little writeup of the situation in the far East and Xi's visit: https://mobile.twitter.com/samagreene/status/1638230854991224857 Partly verifies my earlier theory that China would hegemonize the Russian east through soft power and economic means.

shadow puppet of a posted:Somewhere deep in Russia, deep in the back of a warehouse a quartermaster is eyeing a row of wooden catapults and doing some rough calculations for how many can fit on a rail car. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if catapults start appearing somewhere on the field at this point. We've already seen both mobiks and the so-called republics' soldiers shown using bows and crossbows. Then there was the talk about being sent into hand to hand combat with trench shovels.

If it comes to relatively static dug in front-lines akin to WW1, and WW2 in some places, improvised catapults and slings for throwing hand grenades over the no-mans land will surely make a comeback.
