It's NE of Bakhmut but a Russian stronghold. If Russia is striking Soledar, it would imply Ukraine are making some gains.

"always" like they've been down 75% of the time I try, and now their domain is changed? Not trying to complain about a useful idea but it was so hosed I gave up last time.

There are a poo poo ton of nitter instances. https://github.com/xnaas/nitter-instances (and that doesn't even seem to include the one I use) . I use a browser plugin called libredirect for firefox but it does exist for chrome. The instance I found with the best balance of ping response time and uptime (nearly 100%) is https://nitter.1d4.us. If you decide to install libredirect go to the plugin settings, go to the twitter settings, click enable, delete nitter.com and then add https://nitter.1d4.us you can leave it enabled if you always want to redirect. Personally I disable it again so that I can right click the link and then redirect from the context menu.

For reddit I repeat the process but use https://libreddit.bus-hit.me

Sounds like a pain in the rear end but i just uninstalled and then reinstalled and had it configured in under 2 minutes.

Edit: another list of nitter instances https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances <- this one includes the instance I use.

It’s like Mexico taking San Diego, not only the prestige issues but whoops your fleet HQ for the Navy is gone.

It’s existential, a Ukrainian Crimea in NATO means no warm water port for the Russian Navy. It also means the USS Gerald Ford gets to hang out in Odessa.

Ukraine used to lease them the space but that opportunity is now gone forever.

The Russian port of Novorossiysk is perfectly capable of basing the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and it doesn't require an illegal annexation to continue to use.

I feel like any talk of an advance through Kherson is comically premature. The location they are at is probably the best available on this side of the drat, but even then it's absolute dogshit in terms of trying to conduct an advance. They have to go over a bloated river with no bridge, a single swamp flanked road they can go down, and then another river crossing just to smack right into a small city. If they could pull this off then Russia is already crumbling.

It's probably just ment as a reconnaissance in force like they were doing on those islands before they got flooded.

But have you considered that it's really easy to draw arrows on a map and declare Crimea to be threatened?

it's a reference to the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, featuring a homelesstemporarily dispossessed character called "cut-me-own-throat Dibbler" who tries emphatically to sell you/everyone hot dogsanimal related products that you can try to eat of unknown and worrying provenance, and will attempt to haggle you down when you refuse saying he's cutting his own throat by offering you that price

I made the joke, I’ll explain it. In the Discworld series of books, there’s a character of ill repute named “‘Cut-me-own-throat’ Dibbler” who’s most well-known for his “sausage inna bun” salesmanship and wheedling sales tactics. Prighozin has been called a Hot Dog guy many times itt.

The rest, you already understand.

At 400 degrees I let it sit and sear for 6 minutes before flipping, then let it cook for another 5 minutes. Pulled it off for a nice medium-rare with a good crust on the outside, very juicy. I meant to do one of them rare but this was the first time I've used the basket air-fryer so next time I'll take them off a few minutes earlier.

Germany was vastly weaker and would have been fighting through fortifications and without the Chech arms industry. So err no.

I'd say more like the other way around. "Prepared England for WW2" by giving Germany enough time and slack to take over most of Europe, completely spin up the war machine and railway system, and become the war crimes gold standard instead of actually standing up to fascists. The lack of military aid from America and Britain early on was pretty shameful. There's been some talk about getting enough fighter planes ready and stuff, but what won the war in the end was boots on the ground.
