Way ahead of you.
It also needs saying that RAID is not a backup.
But I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to recover it.
They're losing the war at a rapidly increasing rate. But they have to spin it as a victory. They've been claiming this entire time that the Russians are throwing massive amounts of men and materiel at them in human waves. It makes sense to keep using that claim and say that Ukraine is cleverly exploiting the dumb Russian tactics to increase the attrition rate.
Of course that all falls apart even if you only read western media, if you read further than the headline. The reality is an underequipped, under trained, under staffed UAF being sent to the frontline in their mass. Pretty much the opposite of what's advertised. You're not supposed to remember that Russia has air superiority and at least a 3:1 advantage in artillery and drones. You aren't supposed to see the military cemetaries in Ukraine adding hundreds of thousands of new plots.
You're just expected to forget all that, and believe Zelensky when he says that there have been less than 40k casualties, and Russians are throwing themselves on the brave Ukrainian bayonettes. Then this makes sense.
I read that article this morning. It's a well oiled routine at this point. Russians are using human wave tactics in the first half, then the second half talks about massive Russian artillery and air superiority, and how the UAF is taking enormous losses.
I almost think that the reporter knows that their regular readership only reads headlines. But they still want to tell the truth.
Taking away the landowner's serfs of course.
I very rarely click on video links. But I watched this one. It's honestly not that earth shattering IMO. Russia has nearly encircled a fairly large area where there may or not be a sizeable chunk of UAF.
I do think that the end of the war is fast approaching, and we'll see some real change this winter. But this isn't it. This is a tactical victory, not a strategic one.
I found this article, which might be a clue. Estradiol starts as a cooking oil by-product. Hubei seems to be a hot spot for cooking oil plants, and I did find a few in that general area, although most of China's production appears to be located northeast of there. That's about as far as I got. I'm questioning the veracity of this, but it's not worth it to me to prove it one way or the other. Details are becoming more difficult to dig up.
Completely agree. I haven't worked up the courage, but it's something I absolutely would like to do as a part time job. It's a service like any other, and it should be treated as such.
Edit: to the downvoters, why? My body your choice?
A phenomenon I've noticed many a time, and I'm not a tinfoil hat wearing type. This is why anything smart gets removed when I want a serious talk.
Fun fact: in 1950, there were only 500 million people in China. That means that Mao killed half the population of China. That's a little less than the raw percentage of population loss from the native population of North America in the 19th century (~600k in 1800 to 250k in 1890). Funnily enough, in 1979, the population of China had nearly doubled from the 1950 figures.
I guess we'll never know what happened in North America, but that Mao guy sure was evil.
I just read a business insider article about how Russia was using artillery from the 50s that it had completely sold off, thus proving North Korean escalation. So fucking absurd.
