  1. Angelina Jolie reportedly visits front-line regions in southern Ukraine
  2. Russians still haven't figured out that really slow river crossings are ripe for drones Right out of a movie. Or the Battlestar Galactica 2004 TV series.
  3. But you still have to worry about this lady finding evidence Discover The Magic of Mudlarking on the River Thames in London
  4. When the TEA takes over, it won't be because of any of the schools being kept open or any boundaries being preserved for another year, it'll be because of already failing schools, and most important of all, the legislature and TEA have set school districts up to fail and have changed criteria to hasten that, because the legislature is sitting on $32 billion that could help a lot of school districts, and because they are all in on wrecking public education. There's already 5 school districts in line to be taken over. We can rage about AISD management all we want, but at the end of the day, the state takes $820 million from AISD's budget, and the state wants to take over the largest districts, and they want to do away with a lot of programs because some fucking Christian nutcases want it to happen, and the state refuses to spend the money to bolster education (remember 30-40 years ago when our state leaders cared about education and wanted us to compete with the top states in the nation?) When the legislators and state leaders and rich Christian nationalists tell you they oppose public education, and they actively work towards that goal, and that they want to create more charter schools in place of public schools, listen to them. We have the money to fix all of the districts, but the state has decided against that.
  5. Belgium plans to invoke NATO’s Article 4 following recent drone incidents Repeated drone overflights have raised serious concerns in Brussels, according to local media reports. Article 4 of the NATO Treaty provides for consultations among member states whenever a country feels its territorial integrity or security is threatened. Earlier, during a massive Russian drone attack on Ukraine on September 10, a Polish request to activate Article 4 followed after a “Shahed” drone entered its airspace.
  6. It's crazy that they've spent over 100,000 dead and wounded trying to get Pokrovsk, a city of 50-60,000, but as Schulz mentioned, it holds some strategic value, and Putin needs a psychological win. I'm wondering if Ukraine is looking at the impact of their eroding the transportation infrastructure and think if they hold out a little longer, it'll pay off.
  7. So the airplane equivalent of the Ship of Theseus? Because those things have been heavily rebuilt.
  8. Trashing somebody's code wheel.....that's grounds for
  9. I hope this is even slightly close to being accurate
  10. There's going to be some pretty serious divisions in Russia this winter when the rich are getting fuel for their generators and the poor are being told to burn their furniture to stay warm. Russia generally doesn't do so well when the poor are constantly getting turbo-fucked, and while Putin has done a good job of removing anybody the peasants can rally around, there comes a point where they won't need a central figure to spur them on, since they can spur each other on through social media.
  11. Kyiv: used to blackouts, equipped for blackouts Moscow:
  12. And following a trail through the leaves with the camera on the drone and not wrecking the props on any of the bushes.
  13. And to this day, one of them does not understand why his house key doesn't fit the lock on his door.
  14. I have no clue what is going on there, but is this another battle where Ukraine is going to make Russia pay a massive price? It's costing Ukraine a lot, but we've seen it in the past where they decide the cost to Russia is far higher.
  15. As evidenced by multiple threads in DT (including the ChatGPT thread), as well as the "stupid shit we see on Facebook" threads in Lulz, it's far easier and cheaper (and safer to those doing it) to just run a bunch of fake ads/disinformation posts on social media than to rig an actual election. You will like this - I went to look up the context of Charlie Strong saying that "Social media is going to be the downfall of society" and I came across this which kind of proves my point: Shocking Tragedy: Beloved Former Texas Longhorns Coach Charlie Strong Fatally Shot in - AMA SPORTS ARENA There's going to be a number of people who think Charlie Strong was gunned down in Austin last year. And that Mack Brown succeeded him as head coach here.
  16. I mean, how many of us were scarred by this guy in the 80s
  17. I have the Falcon 4.0 big box as well. Falcon 4.0, one of the Wing Commanders, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, games that I waited on way past the original release dates and had to upgrade my computer for as I got them. I think Falcon 4.0 was supposed to come out in late 1995 or 1996 and it was, if I recall, released around 1999 (edit: I looked, 1998). I recently went through archive.org looking at old computer gaming magazines and kept coming across Falcon 4.0 stuff over the late 90s. BoomMF, I hope you know that there are updates still being released for it today (well July of this year) including graphics updates. Homepage - Falcon BMS Downloads - Falcon BMS
