Look, Netflix is dumb and bad and their recent un-sharing of family plans will totally make piracy cool again, but now I'm conflicted about voicing support of piracy knowing some Russians are doing it as a circumvention of sanctions, because anti-Russian forces will make them all virus-laden time-wasters and how am I going to get my Netflix Velma series now? :lol:

Has there actually been a meaningful uptick in "smoking accidents" in Russia since the war started or is it just confirmation bias and a lack of proper safety standards?

If someone has posted before war/after war numbers of fires happening in Russia I have not seen it. I'm fairly confident that 99% of them are just normal poo poo that is getting reported as war time acts of sabatoge because I feel like the US/UK/other folks would be stating in their briefings if they thought otherwise.

Well, the Catholic church recognizes beaver as a fish that can be eaten during Lent, which is still not over. So the Catholics in the trenches might have a fairly decent meal should they tire of the beaver's shenanigans. I've had it, it's a bit strong, but in a strongly spiced chili, it's quite good.

https://mil.in.ua/en/news/u-s-to-double-155mm-artillery-shells-production/

quote:

The United States plans to significantly increase the production of 155mm artillery shells.

Gabe Camarillo, Army Undersecretary, said that the U.S. plans to double the production of artillery shells by the end of 2023.

There are also plans to sextuple their production over the next five years.

Camarillo said at the Association of the U.S. Army�s Global Force Symposium that the Pentagon will spend some $1.45 billion to upgrade production facilities.

Investments should support the defense capability of Ukraine with new shells and replenish the reserves of the U.S. army.

It will cost $349 million to add factory lines, purchase equipment, and hire second shifts.

The U.S. also intends to double production of Javelin anti-tank systems (to 330 per month) and rocket launchers (to 41 per month).

Camarillo said that by 2026, the U.S. Army also intends to double (from 566 to 1,110 units) the monthly order for the production of GMLRS missiles for the M142 HIMARS and M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems.

Overall, the U.S. is investing over $2 billion this year in industrial facilities used to manufacture weapons and ammunition.

The funds are part of a 15-year, $18 billion plan to modernize government-owned weapons and munitions facilities.

In April, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said the U.S. was planning to manufacture 20,000 155mm rounds per month by spring, not the 24,000 that Camarillo said.

However, it remains unclear whether such an increase in production in the U.S. will be able to satisfy both Ukraine�s defense needs and the Pentagon�s own needs. According to public data, the United States has already sent 1,074,000 155mm rounds to Ukraine, and the monthly consumption of these shells, according to experts, is up to 143,000 rounds.

There is very little consensus in science on what exactly "kebab meat" is. Yes, it very likely contains some animal products, but narrowing it down to a specific part of the animal kingdom or part of an animal is very hard. The truth is that we just don't know and probably never will.

It is reconstituted donkey lung. Still tastes great, though.

It's interesting to see those Russian propagandists giving more TV time to people who seem to be essentially saying that Russia can't win the war. I don't know whether they're there to test the waters with the public, or just so that they can be shouted down and shamed on live TV.

russian internal propaganda is fairly sophisticated to keep people's attention. there's usually a patsy who is there to say all the bad things you might think, and then get shouted down and made to look like a fool as part of the entertainment

Yes but spare a thought for them. With all this new hard data on Russian tactics, logistics and troop conditions, do you know how many great minds are going to be expended over at Raytheon et-al on the task of making the first filth-seeking missile?

Russia is going to invade Finland, Denmark, and also liberate the Brits and also stop the annexation of Ukraine by Poland before the end of 2023.

And the US will be too busy with (((the border crisis))) to react
