has anyone read the Bloomberg Russian poker bot article?
its behind a paywall for me, but it does sound like the Russians volunteered to give Bloomberg this report
https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2024-poker-bots-artificial-intelligence-russia/
For me, this confirms my suspicions about online poker. Thanks God for live poker in Texas, as there is little reason to play online now.

QuoteI think that many still cannot grasp entirely what's going on in Russia. The systematic destruction of major Russian ammunitions sites as well as oil & gas facilities will have a severe impact on the Russian war effort and the state itself. Estimations go as high that 40,000 tons in ammunition have been destroyed over the past few days, which accounts for 12% of Russian stockpiles, or the equivalent of 1 month in ammunition. Russian military blogger already fear a lack in ammunition. All gone just by 3 strikes and you can be sure that those are not some "drone debris" penetrating hardened buildings. That is something developed during this war and I'm sure that Ukrainians haven't even started, yet.
Russia relied in the past on its sheer size to outlast enemies and exploited this for its own imperial ambitions. This advantage in the past, however, has now become a liability in 21st century. You don't have to invade Russia to decisively disrupt Moscow's ambitions. You observe and then target the exposed nerve centers of which many are in range. Russians cannot protect all these areas. They never could. Even the air defense grid of Moscow, which is the densest in the entire country, was successfully overcome several times, and this is the primary nerve center.
Of course, Russians will try to counter this development, but there is not really much what they can do. Dispersing the ammo sites in the occupied parts of Ukraine was one thing, to do this in all of Russia (west of the Ural mountains) is something completely different, and in fact not feasible at all. They have to locate those sites along the rail network, which in itself is already a critical bottleneck. Even without this headache, Russians already fail in logistics and this would push them over the edge.
Together with the mass casualties events in Ukraine, where thousands of Russian vehicles get burnt in on a monthly base and hundreds of Russians get destroyed on a daily base, it is only a question of time before all this will make Russia capsize. There won't be a single event or a single weapon system which will make Russia break. It will be a plethora of reasons. After that has materialized, we will look back and see how each and every puzzle piece contributed to this entire picture.
Putin is running of out time and we should keep Ukrainians capable of fighting and extend their capabilities in order to efficiently strike the Russian invaders respectively their country. Btw. this does not have to be only entire weapon systems. Even the steady supply of components can achieve this. I already mentioned in my post 2 days ago, how vital the Ukrainian war economy has become and we can see that in the destruction in major Russian facilities. I consider, however, Ukrainian drones and weapons as the long-term insurance policy for an Ukrainian victory, while the surplus of Western weapons systems such as ATACMS (and similar weapons), which are plenty in numbers and available on a short-term notice, immediate means which can be shipped.
Together with the new Ukrainian developments in drone technology, it will be the perfect storm for the Russian aggression, leading it to Russia's ultimate failure in conquering its neighbor and ending its imperial agenda once and for all.

So the UN has Hezbollah issued pagers? OR do they think the IDF would target them?
I don't know, though history has shown time after time that UN agencies are often thoroughly penetrated by local terrorist orgs.

re; Telegram
QuoteToday we're looking at the importance of Telegram. No, we're not talking about the thing a telegraph sends. We're talking about the messaging platform created by Pavel Durov that's causing quite the stir as of late.
Telegram has become the platform of choice for many of the world's most unsavory characters - think the Russian military and ISIS. Telegram and its founder opted to not cooperate with Western governments and resisted any form of data sharing with authorities. This was the case, until founder Pavel Durov was recently arrested and promptly released in France.
Now, if I was someone who knew I was wanted in a number of countries, I would probably avoid visiting said countries. I would imagine Durov would do the same. So, I suspect that this was all part of some elaborate deal that Durov and the French authorities cut. If that's the case, there could be some major implications.
Remember how I mentioned that Telegram was the choice platform for unsavory characters. Well, if Western governments can get their hands on these messages, logs and information, that would be a huge intelligence breakthrough that the Russians would love to avoid...

TCH is absolutely murdering Red Star right now.
I played at Red Star on Monday starting at noon, never a full table, 6-8 handed. played 2 hours and when I left it was 4 handed.
Wed night, till 10a the table never had more than 1 person waiting to play.
last night, the game broke as soon as the KC Balt game ended.
played today got to Red Star at 430, its 1 table that when I take my seat is now full. play for 3 hours, we get a few players come in, but more leave than come in.
we ended up 3 handed at 745 and it broke almost immediately after.
maybe it starts back up after the Philly GB game, but fuck normally on Fri night its 2 tables, with a 3rd 2/5 /match stack until 8 or so, then usually a 3rd normal game starts until 11ish.
The Lodge is getting hit as well. When I check, their table count is down as much as 50% from usual. In reply, they're doing a bunch of promos for the week of Sept 18th-22nd, including 50% off time, a true 100k free roll, a meet-up game, $500 lucky seats, and a $10 annual member ship. The half-off time and membership are for the 18th only. Here's the info:

People thought the third season of Mandalorian was mediocre because it leaned too much into the Mandalorian lore from Clone Wars.
Or because the Madalorian became a secondary character in his own show when it became focused on Bo-Katan.
