Just keep in mind that russians get ~1mil conscripts a year. They can keep feeding their mince machine for a long time to come. Besides massively more support with heavy weapons without restrictions, I am not entirely sure Ukraine can outlast old ussr stockpiles…

Thats why i said, they are amazing value for money. But sould be interesting to know just how many boats it takes to take out 60 or so ships

You missed the point (and i should have perhaps been clearer), the chap was saying “no navy”, i am pointing out that suicide drones are still part of that navy and Ukrainians had 15000 personal at the start of the war in the navy.

You really gotta count how many cheap boat Ukrainians lost trying to sink 60 ships. Ofc they (suicide boats) are much, much, much cheaper and cause no crew casualties being remotely controlled. So it is super cost effective, And most importantly safe, but if you count pure numbers i am sure Ukrainian losses of those boats are massively higher.

But the fact that russians can still use their missles ships to launch missiles is a big issue. Even if there are fewer of those ships, its not 0 :(… Yet

Those right hand fingers are making me think of salad fingers…

Thats actually cool to know thanks for expanding on this. The videos are shot to be very impressive but in reality i wonder how much use this would be in real world? Maybe some kind of warehouse stacking where you can qr label everything or if it cluld truly navite a semi-set route maybe some sort of inspection of remote facilities? Maybe building stuff on the moon? (Assuming you could deal with the dust somehow)

How much of these demos are prescripted?

No dna tests were done, sounds like they should have been done to remove any allegations credibility if they are so adamantly claiming to not be at fault.

Debatable, its population is more than 10 smaller than Ukraine, much smaller area. Its easier to blitzkrieg through it. But even a protracted grind war they won’t be as close to friendly nato countries who can supply fast and active armed forces is under 50k. That would include non-front line roles. So another exercise of 2-300k conscripts maybe push through if they have enough vehicles to carry ammo.

But yes they are busy elsewhere atm. curiously armenia seems to have 400 main battle tanks and 200 ifvs so perhaps can offer decent resistance for a few days if they work/have ammo

Special military operation Invasion in… 3… 2…

Shocked? Absolutely not. Disturbed? Nope, content that some rich no clue CEO idiot went yolo? Perhaps

What was the cheering about in the end?

If you don’t openly go against the state no body cares about you. Its a small local library in a town of 400k people (2010 census) that has to move to a new area where even fewer people know of it.

He actually beat britain first (racists) and a crypto bro trying to save London with privatisation… Can’t make this shit up

I was hoping it be some kind of a celebratory photoshoot though but it wasn’t even a link to a story 😭

Proton is very gaming on Linux friendly, i main on Linux for a few decades now and had about 3-4 games not work. So i wouldn’t worry about that, however lightroom (and i assume the rest of adobe suit) is out. Couldn’t find a way to install it sensibly at all. Which is unfortunate. The backup for this for me was to use an old android tablet and sometimes id use the work mac out of hours to do some post-processing.

But the rest doesn’t matter much, i personally like Manjaro but the distro doesn’t really matter.

Too expensive to keep branches open

Are they just late for 1st of April?

So just how much ammunition do we have, keep in mind both Russians and Chinese have militatries well over a million soldiers, thousands of tanks and other ivf. How many anti tank weapons does NATO have left? How many himars missiles? And if we do have this stock, why are we not giving it to Ukraine and repying on purchasing shells half way around the world and even then making promised to pay for it but forking over nothing yet?

They need our help now, not tomorrow. This makes me wonder just how much stock of ammunition do we have for all those high tech toys.

This exactly, if you believe that the enemy is completely incompetent, you will get stung by that. Look at the reality of war, lack of ammunition means all those high end toys are stuck doing nothing. Look in which direction yhe front is going.

NATO is left buying ammunition from non eu countries for Ukraine when they need it 6 months ago, would that be happening if we had stockpiles of the stuff for ourselves? Just how much is left for NATO to use for self defense?

Oh god, the one with the creepy smile a d benders face is… Making me vomit my lunch… Which i haven’t had yet… Brilliant! 👍
