  1. No offense, but most who follow this thread have spent years following the war rather closely, and if you have no idea what’s going on, you should go back six months and start binging the thread. It’s like popping up in the football thread and then asking if people could explain what conferences various teams are in. I mean, it is certainly a legitimate non-trollish question, but also sort of a thread derail asking for the most basic information when you have AI on your phone and in five seconds you can have those answers. Edit: my response sounded far more dick-ish than I intended. My apologies. This is the answer to my 10 second question to my phone. “Why is nothing being done to stop the sale of oil from Russia to China and India?”
  2. Other than the severe international sanctions…and the political pressure…and the increased inspections by nations looking for (and stoping) shadow fleet tankers..,and the actual sinking of shadow fleet tankers you mean?
  3. Nobody? I admit to lacking faith in some things, but considering my fellow male genderites - this is not one of them.
  4. This is not an absolute. The parents must be trying to mitigate and diffuse the situation. If the three year-old is kicking the back of my seat, I am not ignoring it if the parents aren’t doing anything to stop it.
  5. Lada sales. Connect the dots, sheeple!!!
  6. She wants to end all funding to Ukraine. Fuck her with a cactus.
  7. Ahhhhh. Worked. Much obliged Imma
  8. I have an iPhone 13 mini. The new iOS got uploaded a day or two ago, and now I am back to the point where this appears in the middle of the page and floats around as you try to scroll the Paige page. The last time this happened, I changed themes, which seemed to fix it. Now, no matter whether I use the default or the 18 iOS or the no avatar version, it still happens. I’m only mentioning this in case it gives you some better diagnostic as to what is happening.
  9. @PTINS - i’d love to hear your thoughts on a subject I know nothing about. I find it interesting that the city of Angarsk in Siberia - a larger city of 200,000 residents - has been largely without any building heating since December 7. This includes homes, apartments, hospitals, schools, etc. When the heat went out, the temperature was -20. Today on December 14th the heat is still out, Angarsk had a recent heat wave, so the highs are in the teens and low 20s, while trending colder at the end of the week. That said, if the temperature remains below zero for a week straight, that city’s residents are living in an icebox. This news jogged my memory about another fact I read recently, that all of the Ukrainian attacks on the refineries have prevented the refineries from planned outages to transition to winter fuel, fuel that contains the necessary ingredient to prevent fuel freezing and gelling or doing whatever it is fuel does without those ingredients. If that inability to refine winterized gas is true and continues into the December and January winter months, what effect will that have on transportation in the country? IOW, what can you tell my ignorant self about the absence of winterized refined fuel in a country so cold - and the consequences to the countries’s economy and the military operation in Ukraine?
  10. Konstantin had a recent podcast where he talked about this hacking, adding that the hackers claim to have sent all of the young computer software engineers (working on the country’s conscription system) - conscription notices to join the war.
