Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukrainian forces have destroyed 11,293 (+2) Russian tanks, 23,480 (+3) armored fighting vehicles, 34,036 (+34) artillery systems, 1,527 (+1) multiple rocket launchers, 1,230 (+1) anti-aircraft warfare systems, and 3,880 cruise missiles.

  2. Sterling is a big-time shooter off the basketball who made 44% of his threes, on over 8 attempts per game, during the Pro16 season. He has extreme gravity as a floor spacer (12-18 on open catch-and-shoot threes), but is also a tough shot-maker off the bounce. He’s a limited athlete who can get swallowed up in the lane at times, but a good ball-handler who is very adept at holding his dribble and probing until he gets just enough separation for his pull-up. He’s much more limited at the rim and actually shot a lower percentage inside the arc than he did beyond it. For whatever physical gifts he may lack, he compensates not just with skill, but intangibles and feel for the game. He passes and cuts well, all while understanding what his niche is, has solid positional size, innate toughness and competitiveness. Joe Sterling is a 6-4, 180-pound Combo Guard from Encino, CA.
  3. Did someone die twice?
  4. The pool guy on this site may be a good place to start - Is it @Poolflood ?
  5. I don't know if Sark is cool to party with but my wife's close friend use to date him and said that he is very giving in bed. I'm paraphrasing a bit but she said that he has a magic tongue and after her second date with him, she threw away her rabbit. Further, she said, he is even better when he's had a few drinks.
  6. Looks like we will continue to have a great defense. It would be nice to have a complete team, though.
  7. Yeah, I’m about to pay $31000 for a used truck. I wanted a beater but dealerships in the Rockies want $20K for a 8yr old truck with 90000 miles. That sounds crazy when I could buy a new fully loaded Hyundai Santa Fe in 2012 for $28K. $45K now seems to be on the low end for such vehicles and I don’t think salaries are matching that increase. Maybe I’m wrong, though, since it seems like most people are still buying with $600/mo payments.
  8. Yeah, I have 1st cousin who has since retired but was head of IT for GM. He and I discussed the topic at a thanksgiving dinner before Covid. For him, it was going to be a huge win because it moves IT from an expense to a profit center.
  9. Wait until all the auto companies charge an annual subscription fee for their software.
  10. Ukraine destroys Russian Buk air defense system worth $45 million, military says October 27, 2025 6:13 am by Abbey Fenbert Ukrainian forces successfully detected and destroyed a state-of-the-art Russian Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system valued at $45 million, Ukraine's Land Forces reported on Oct. 26. The Buk-M3 is one of Russia's key air defense assets, used to engage targets in the air, on the ground, and on the water. Ukraine's "Black Forest" brigade struck the target at an unspecified location, the military said. The brigade shared video footage of the operation. The Buk is a self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile system, first developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. In the decades since, the Soviet Union and then Russia developed several upgraded versions. The Buk-M3 is manufactured by Russia's Almaz-Antey defense company, and canreportedly track and engage up to 36 targets simultaneously. The system is designed to target planes, helicopters, cruise missiles, and drones. The Buk gained worldwide infamy in 2014 with the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. Ukraine has reported destroying Russian Buk systems in previous strikes. In September, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) reported a successful hit on a Buk-M3 in the Russian-occupied part Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In May, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said they destroyed a Buk-M3 in an undisclosed front-line sector.
  11. Ukrainian drones target Moscow in overnight attack, mayor says October 27, 2025 1:04 am (Updated: October 27, 2025 2:54 am) Editor's Note: This is a developing story. Dozens of drones targeted the city of Moscow overnight on Oct. 26-27, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. Sobyanin began reporting attacks on the Russian capital on the evening of Oct. 26. As of publication time, Russian forces have reportedly shot down 34 Ukrainian drones flying toward Moscow. Emergency services have been dispatched to all crash sites, Sobyanin said. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims. Moscow's Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports have temporarily suspended operations in response to the drone threat. Explosions have been reported in multiple parts of the city and the surrounding region, including the Kommunarka district, according to Russian Telegram channels. No casualties have been reported. A fire broke out at on oil depot in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, on the evening of Oct. 26, the Russian Telegram news channel Astra reported, citing eyewitness footage. The local administration did not disclose the cause of the fire and said the blaze had already been extinguished. Ukrainian authorities have not commented on the reported strikes. Kyiv regularly uses long-range drones to target military and industrial targets in Russia, including oil refineries, weapons factories, and ammunition depots. Ukraine allegedly targeted Moscow with 34 drones in a previous overnight strike on Sept. 22. Russia regularly launches large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. Over the past two nights, mass attacks against Kyiv have killed five people and left dozens injured. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct. 26 that Russia has attacked Ukraine with nearly 1,200 strike drones and 50 missiles — primarily ballistic missiles — in the past week alone.
  12. What I found interesting is that the military spending was mainly done off the books by forcing banks to lend to companies without requiring collateral while said companies have a poor history of profitability and repayment. So basically the central bank looks okay on the surface but the books of the individual banks look terrible and when those banks start failing, the house of cards will suddenly collapse. And already those banks are having to limit expenditures this year.
  13. Long article but very informative.
