No, green areas grow faster

LW is worst at this, they also banned piracy community early on

In fact, a moderator from a subreddit we hadn’t reached out to for comment reached out because they heard we were contacting moderators to speak about this. They said every instance they were aware of of the surveillance video of Thompson’s death being removed had not been moderators—who, as a reminder, are unpaid volunteers—but Reddit’s paid administrator team that enforces the sitewide terms of use.

united healthcare? how many divisions do they have?

S-5 or maybe S-8 rocket pod taken from heli and mounted on a truck as improvised artillery, a technical of sorts

Also seen on MTLB and such

why do you change it, is there lime scale buildup? you can remove it with citric acid esp if it’s just calcium/magnesium (white limescale) if it’s rusty orange (contains iron or manganese) you might want to check if it’s potable at all

worst coup in half a year is not interesting news? heresy

that’s on the opposite side of country that SDF is. anyway HTS will be there in few days

prediction: within maybe 5 days from now HTS will go all the way to Homs cutting off coast from Damascus

They sent tier 1 SOF and MP, but yeah even they didn’t want to be involved

i haven’t seen it but i’ve seen it mentioned too. these are training rifles that use ammunition incompatible with normal 5.56 (simunition), they also had no ammo in sidearms and someone spotted blue (training) magazine. This is not something you can do on accident, they must have been specifically ordered so

Such law makes sense considering SK recent-ish history

from what i understand there was only one small unit slightly loyal to president, that one that was sent (+ MP, + regular police), and even they called quits pretty much immediately (and lost NVG, that’s a beating). looks like they did bare minimum so that they can’t be prosecuted and left just after the vote. defense minister was already dismissed so in retrospect they could slack even harder. 707th (that unit) blocked representatives but police let them in

both are fundamentally heavily optimized for corporate profit too. TEL was cheaper than alternatives available then, like adding alcohol to gasoline or using more BTX fraction. The problem is that the former cuts into oil company profits and the latter requires lots of heat to manufacture. Today we have better processes and blending stocks like alkylate that avoid some toxicity of BTX and all of TEL, but these would be never developed out of corporate goodwill, they were forced to by law. Idk what purpose spicy autocomplete has other than hyping up stocks

it’s not. this thing requires two tugs being around just to move

naming depends on your budget

cruise missiles are jet powered, but this one is not named so for political reasons (“if Ukrainians have their own cruise missiles, why do we need to give them ours”)

Evgeny Prigozhin started his career selling hotdogs, then become a caterer, then became a chef of Putin, then he founded PMC Wagner, tried to do a coup for dumbest reasons imaginable, then got killed by bomb attached to his private jet

you’re on ncd, you should know that

idk what exactly they did but they did get inside anyway

I really don’t know what was he thinking, looks like army did the bare legal minimum so that they won’t be prosecuted for refusing orders. There’s a couple of things that can be done with minimal number of loyalists that would make coup easier that weren’t done, like cutting power to parliament. This makes me guess that military didn’t want a part in this at all

I’ve seen a take that this was an attempt to get entrenched in power before trump admin begins, as in for foreign relations purposes, but like, it’s pretty clear that a couple of people from his family and trusted party people were under investigation so him trying to not allow that sounds more likely. Now that won’t work because as far as i understand by the end of the week there will be impeachment vote

political power grows out of barrel of a gun like they say few borders north. it does make sense to make everyone participate, but it’s always a tradeoff
