BREAKING: POLICE OFFICERS WHO TORTURED UKRAINIAN POWS BLOWN UP IN MOSCOW According to one version, an unidentified man threw an explosive device into the window of a police vehicle. Two officers were killed on the spot, two more are in critical condition. The attacker also died. The eliminated Russians had previously fought against Ukraine. There is also evidence that they were involved in the torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing sources in Ukraine’s military intelligence

Will be interesting to see if this goes anywhere. Russia likely won't budge. Zelensky has outlined all 20 points of Ukraine’s peace plan👇 ▪️ Recognition and confirmation of Ukraine’s sovereignty. ▪️ Signing of a non-aggression treaty between Russia and Ukraine, with international monitoring of the line of contact. ▪️ Provision of security guarantees for Ukraine. ▪️ The size of Ukraine’s Armed Forces in peacetime to be up to 800,000 personnel. ▪️ The United States, NATO, and European countries to provide Ukraine with security guarantees similar to Article 5. In the event of a new Russian invasion, a military response would follow and sanctions would be reinstated. ▪️ Russia to legally закрепить a course of non-aggression toward Ukraine and Europe. ▪️ Ukraine to obtain EU membership within an agreed timeframe, preferably with a fixed date. ▪️ Formation of a global development package to be formalized through a separate investment agreement. ▪️ Creation of several reconstruction funds to attract around $800 billion. ▪️ Acceleration of the signing of a free trade agreement between Ukraine and the United States. ▪️ Confirmation of Ukraine’s non-nuclear status. ▪️ Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: no compromises. The US proposes a trilateral management format with a lead manager from the United States. Ukraine’s position is joint management with the US on a parity basis (50/50). ▪️ Introduction of educational programs in schools aimed at promoting tolerance, intercultural understanding, and combating racism and bias. ▪️ The territorial issue is the most difficult point. One possible scenario: Russia withdraws troops from the Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions. In Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, the principle of “remaining on current positions” applies. Russia demands Ukraine’s withdrawal from Donetsk region, while the US proposes a compromise in the form of a free economic zone. If the “stand where we stand” principle is not accepted, the free economic zone option would be possible only through a referendum, with the entire package of agreements put to a vote. ▪️ Russia and Ukraine commit not to revise the agreed arrangements through the use of force. ▪️ Russia does not obstruct Ukraine’s use of the Dnipro River and the Black Sea for commercial purposes. The Kinburn Spit is to be demilitarized. ▪️ A prisoner exchange under an “all for all” formula, the return of civilians, children, and political prisoners. ▪️ Ukraine to hold elections as soon as possible after the agreement is signed. ▪️ The document is legally binding, with implementation overseen by a Peace Council chaired by Trump. ▪️ After all parties agree, a full ceasefire comes into effect immediately

The divorce risk for a married couple is around 42-43% today and, contrary to general public perceptions, has steadily decreased since the late 80s. Put another way, 57-58% of marriages last until death. Getting married younger is a risk factor for divorce, but only up until a certain age-- between 30-32-- after which, the risk of divorce starts to increase again. It's also worth noting that this doesn't hold for some groups of young people, such as religious, educated, and people committed to the institution of marriage. For them, getting married younger (say around 21-23) doesn't impact their risk of divorce. The other side of this conversation, however, is more bleak. A significant contributor to the decrease in divorce has been the rise in cohabitation as an alternative. Those who marry now are opting in to marriage and are therefore much more likely to be committed both to the institution of marriage and their partner. Unfortunately, those who cohabitate instead still have children at pretty high rates and have MUCH higher relationship dissolution rates than those who are married. Practically speaking, there's not much of a difference between a divorce and a cohabitation dissolution, especially from a child's perspective. It's actually probably worse because of the multiple transitions and less clear norms, laws, and boundaries that typically result from a cohabitation dissolution. This is actually a huge part of the big sort that has occurred. More educated people are unlikely to witness families endure these cycles of instability and more likely to marry and stay married, while those with lower education are much less likely to ever be exposed to a healthy marriage during their entire childhood.

The thing is, that's not really reddit solving anything. That's a tip from the public that really should've been submitted to the appropriate investigators rather than posted online. Police rely on tips all the time and I don't see anything about reddit discovering any further information based on this tip.

This contains most of my thoughts. If it means your wife could stay at home (childcare, healthier meals, volunteering/networking, improved work/life balance for you, and all the many benefits of this setup), that's a huge consideration. Even assuming everything about the job is the same (which is unlikely at such discrepant salaries), the specifics about the work environment and policies are important. Also note that if retirement contributions are based on a percentage, that's another mark in favor of the higher salary.

I see that your first comment was regarding child care but I didn't take his broad comment as specifically related to child care costs. To attempt to answer your question, I imagine church- specific child care availability is pretty dependent on the state, region, or city due to cultural and regulatory variances among other factors, though I don't doubt there's been an overall decline in these providers. The majority of the decline, however, has been in small home- based child care providers: This obviously impacts lower income families the most but also probably drives prices higher for all income levels. My larger point, however, is that our expectations are higher than ever. People used to rely far more heavily on stay at home parents, relatives, friends, and neighbors for child care. These don't meet most parents' standards anymore (we need/want 2 incomes to achieve the lifestyle we want, we don't want to move near family who could help, we see the friends, neighbors and home-based care options as substandard), and they don't meet government standards either, as regulations have cut out many of the in-home providers and driven up prices at centers. I'm not saying, especially in this specific example that this is all bad! I'm only saying it's a higher standard.

This isn't fully accurate: they don't have the money to raise them to the standards they have today, which are far higher than all previous generations. The people having kids are probably not the ones you'd have highest on your list of desirable parents and gene pools and the people having the fewest children, or none at all, are probably highest on the list.

Twelve killed in shooting targeting Jewish community at Australia's Bondi Beach
KYHorn replied to RPM's topic in Daily Texan
The shooter on the bridge was right behind the other shooter whose gun was taken. So I wouldn't be surprised if the hero was shot by the guy on the bridge after taking the gun. See longer video below. It also strikes me that we have a number of different angles of this already from people extremely close to and in the direct line of fire of the shooters. I know it shouldn't be surprising at this point, but pulling out my phone to video would not be top of mind for me in this situation: -

My parents were quite poor so I received free lunch growing up, but I was friends with all the rich kids. Twice a year or so they had to send out some letter giving us information (or maybe requesting information) about the program. The letters went out to every kid at the same time and were delivered in classrooms, so once one kid in the class opened the letter, everyone knew who the poor kids were. I always thought there had to be a better way to do that.

Russia’s oil giants on the brink: shares plummet nearly 20% amid sanctions Sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft have triggered a crisis in Russia’s oil industry. Bloomberg reports that almost one billion barrels of oil are currently stuck in tankers worldwide with no buyers, most of it Russian. Investors also fear that sanctions will prevent the companies from offloading foreign assets without losses. Globally, countries are rejecting Russian oil products. Brazil sharply reduced imports of Russian diesel, while Indian and Chinese oil companies have significantly cut or almost completely stopped buying Russian crude. In Finland, Lukoil’s Teboil fuel network announced it will cease operations due to the sanctions. Recently, Lukoil declared force majeure at one of the world’s largest oil fields in Iraq after Baghdad halted payments over sanctions.

According to Business Insider, the company Atreyd has sent a "drone wall" to Ukraine for testing, designed to intercept Shaheds and KABs. Thanks to AI, a single operator can control a hundred drones simultaneously. Production is already established in France and Ukraine, and the system is expected to become operational within a few weeks. Additional details: The French company Atreyd has sent the DWS-1 air defense system to Ukraine — the so-called "drone wall." The system creates a kind of "minefield" made up of dozens of mini-drones with small explosive charges. After radar detection of a threat, they take off and form a "curtain" in the air to intercept and destroy enemy UAVs. In the initial stages, the DWS-1 will be used to repel attacks by "Shaheds," and later — against guided bombs. The system operates autonomously based on AI, with one operator able to control up to 100 drones. Production of the DWS-1 is already established in France and Ukraine, and will later be launched in the USA as well Maybe that's what the falling debris was from? There are reports that at least one flamingo hit the plant.
