Ukraine is making its infrastructure harder for Russia to destroy by building clean energy sources (www.milwaukeeindependent.com)

Attacks on two DTEK solar farms last spring is a good example. They destroyed many solar panels and some of the transformers, which step up voltage for long distances or step it down for use in homes. Replacing the transformers and swapping out destroyed panels allowed the farms, which generate 400 megawatts, to be back up in seven days.

Timchenko said an attack on a thermal generating station, which experienced a similar amount of damage, took three to four months to rebuild.

The thumb looks like something one would see in Half-Life 2, I swear...

That tracks.

Civilian life in Half-Life 2 is basically trying to survive with whatever remains after a war.

isnt the name of one of the hl2 maps "little odessa"?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Real life Little Odessa is in New York (there is a large community of Soviet / post-Soviet migrants there). The Half Life location is New Little Odessa though, so it sounds like it's not where real life Little Odessa is

HL2’s lead designer grew up in Bulgaria, so Sofia is the inspiration for City 17, and the coast is the Black Sea coast, incl. at/near Odessa.
