2023-01-11 at 9:46 AM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanksReal issue is tanks are last-century tech stemming from last-century martial philosophy, see: the smoldering ruins of Russian tanks at the start of the war. I think it's only fair that Ukraine is given the opportunity to get their shit fucked by Ivan in exactly the way they were fucking Ivan's shit a year ago.
Originally posted by aldra tanks are tanks; they all do basically the same thing, it's mostly just a question of survivability. the point is that the characteristics of the specific ones they want limit their range and logistic ability, not to speak of maintenance and training requirements etc
you're right, motorcycle brigades and technicals are the only sound strategy
its like you aren't even worried about sn-risk smh -
2023-01-11 at 9:38 AM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanks
Originally posted by aldra look at the weight difference between Soviet and Russian MBTs vs those two; a base T72 is like 45 tonnes vs. almost 70.
Soviet-era infrastructure was designed with this in mind
Yeah, they'll fuck up roads and I wouldn't want to drive one over a bridge, like I said. But please do bear in mind, these tanks are also Soviet-era. As in, "Ukraine was literally the expected environment for the Abrams and Leopard to operate in". You know what else fucks up bridges? Explosions. Not being able to cross them was expected, regardless of weight. -

"they'll fuck up pontoon crossings"? are you high?
ukraine rivers are very special you see. nothing like bosnian rivers, which can be pontooned by MBTs. ukrainian river water is highly corrosive (on account of chernobyl), and as such pontoons suffer a -50% geographic debuff to structural integrity.
"they'll obliterate roads"
no shit. great thing about tanks:
"b-but muh muddy springtime ukrainian weather they'll get stuck"
yeah probably, so why the fuck not say that instead of a bunch of asinine bullshit
(presumably because the muddy season is, as the name suggests *seasonal*, so that's barely even relevant to whether or not having tanks would do some good) -

Originally posted by aldra the Abrams and Leopards (most likely candidates) are way too heavy for the region; at almost 70 tonnes they'll obliterate roads, fall through bridges and fuck up pontoon crossings

You guys are just as strict. Unless I become rich and/or famous, I'd be denied entry to the US too (even that's no guarantee, but money talks and bullshit like having having celebrity status to lose really puts uncle Sam's mind at ease). My best hope rn would probably be applying for permission to enter the country in advance, which if I recall correctly costs something like $1000USD. And that's just for the privilege of having your application reviewed and given a bit of thought - it's not like it guarantees entry, or necessarily even improves your odds of being permitted entry into the US. I'd like to believe it does improve your chances, but honestly the option probably just exists so relatively wealthy individuals with spotty, criminal histories can avoid wasting their time on a flight/in line at a border crossing when they're destined to be turned back. -

Originally posted by aldra I'll get it if I see it on sale
I remember Rizzo and others ranting about it when it was an ascii game but the layout just pissed me off too much to give it a try
it's not gonna be on sale for a long time (per the company selling it), but the steam version and free version are the same you're literally just paying for the texture pack. scummy move would be: buy the game full price, copy all the graphics folders from data/vanilla, and do a no questions asked steam refund. :^) -

Originally posted by Haxxor Semantics is the study of the meaning of words, phrases, sentences and text. This can be broken down into subcategories such as formal semantics (logical aspects of meaning), conceptual semantics (cognitive structure of meaning) and today's focus of lexical semantics (word and phrase meaning)
word enhancements are lexically anti-semantic
bcos they obfuscate meaning -

Originally posted by Michael Myers He claims to have had sex with at least 300 women. Which is not something you'd doubt, considering his looks.
On the other hand, it is something I'd doubt considering nobody who fucks that much talks about how much they fuck. Straight-up some 40 Year Old Virgin "boobs feel like bags of sand" or whatever type shit. -
2023-01-07 at 5:03 AM UTC in First Nano Scale RP_I Methamphetamine attempt
Originally posted by methman I tried something, here:
1 - 24 "60 MG" pills grinded into powder.
2 - added what we call here "Paint Thinner" to the pill powder in a jar, shaked and let sit in the jar with lid on until solids at the bottom with now cloudy paint thinner.
3 - enhancemented the cloudy paint thinner into a pyrex dish leaving the solids at the bottom, repeated the second step, enhancemented again leaving the solids at the bottom.
4 - Evapourated the cloudy paint thinner until almost gone.
5 - Scrapped the remainings and washed with acetone, was left with white little shiny crystalline looking powder (not all of it looks shiny) with a weight of 0.28 gm.
Testing:
- The white shiny looking powder in water, Ph level 6 - 6.5
- Soluble in water.
- Insoluble in Acetone.
- Not very soluble or almost Insoluble in toluene.
- Almost soluble in Xylene.
Any comments about the extracted powder are more than welcome about , i will try again using the other solvent "what they call here naphtha which smells more like gasoline/kerosene", will post again about the results.

2023-01-06 at 1 AM UTC in So am I a dick If I charge old people 20 bucks an hour to get shit done?Yes, you should be doing it for free. Lanny moderates this site for free and and dealing with us retards is probably more annoying than cutting some branches for a little old lady.
Just kidding. They'd be remiss to not try and guilt trip a discount out of you though.
That said what do you mean by "here is my bill"? Was it your bill in the sense that you had to you pay that out of pocket and only got $20 in return? Or is that what you billed them? Because actually yeah it's kind of fucked up to be charging one off clients for parts and repairs to your own damn equipment like that, especially if you just tack it on the invoice without negotiating that kind of thing beforehand. Like, you should be charging enough hourly to cover those additional expenses (but then you wouldn't be able to offer competitive rates like $20/hr ig). -

Originally posted by Lanny I assumed this was about r/incel but apparently they got banned? lol, not getting laid is a bannable offense. Maybe I should add that rule then finally get rid of speedy and spectral
lmao but also the issue was not so much the "not getting laid" part as it was the manifestation of the psychological damage not getting causes some young men. read: contempt and hatred for the world, and certain happy normal people living in it happily and normally. which, tbh, is a pretty fair emotional response to a world that demonstrably has little beyond contempt for them... but like, knowing that, it's quite silly to then go and give said world any more of an excuse. -

Originally posted by Incessant I feel like western norms are to have the short skirts. I'm confused. I mean I'm definitely as snowflake as they come, but it doesn't feel like the people who would want this are in the majority. maybe it's just because I'm in Texas…. Idk
the guy who wrote the article is, sadly, the norm. and you're right - he def wants to crush some artist puss puss.
