1; Have you even heard Kendrick's tracks in this beef? Shit is dope as fuck.
2; As pointed out in another comment: Drake has been found guilty for coercion and enticement of a minor. These accusations aren't ungrounded insinuations, they're fact.
Pretty heavy hits to the artillery as well!
However I've noted that the number of casualties has dropped a bit the past couple days, wondering why? Have the russians reduced the intensity of attacks anywhere?
This is the most chilling video I've seen from any war so far I think.
I remember seeing videos from WWI of soldiers that were so desensitised from all the death that they were using an arm sticking out from the side of their trench as a coat hanger... but this? It's something about the up-close view of him crawling among the remains while talking about how everything is fine that absolutely chills my bones...
Which is a comparison that makes complete sense. When you say that someone is leading the way, you are clearly referring to them being at the forefront at the time when they were leading the way. Any system that was a trail blazer 100+ years ago should be outdated by now, unless progress stopped or went backwards in the meantime.
Compared to the recent estimates that russia is taking ≈ 1:1.5 KIA:WIA these numbers (1:9) actually show an impressive survival rate.
I'm curious as to whether even NK is better at evacuating and treating the wounded than russia is?
Sir, this is a shitposting community.
I dont use Klarna myself, but from what I've heard from people that do use it, it's a decent company.
For one, their business model isn't based on trapping people I debt, but is more akin to PayPal, in that what they do is offer a transaction service. Most people I've heard of just use it to handle online transactions, without using the "split up payment" version. I've been told one reason (besides protecting their payment information from third parties) is that if they return something, they just forward confirmation that it was returned to Klarna, and the payment is cancelled. That way, they can buy stuff and only pay if they actually keep it, rather than having to go after some company to get their money back.
On general grounds though, I'm sceptical of any "buy now, pay later" service.
I've seen videos before of people head butting cakes, specifically russians, which makes me think it's a thing. Otherwise, it would be hard for his "friends" to plant the spikes for him to smash his head into.
I would like to know what they're saying though: Anyone here that can get a translation?
There's quite a bit of debate going on about support for Ukraine in Norway now. Luckily, most political parties want to drastically increase support beyond this. Even the coalition in power is saying that this is just a baseline for the year.
This is one of those awesome stories about how some good engineering can save countless lives: Just think about how many lives have been saved globally, both in wartime and peacetime, because of portable metal detectors.
That's not to mention it's a great example of how technology developed for one purpose (detecting mines) spills over to other applications (archeology etc.)
I never knew it was an escaped polish engineer that invented these either- that even makes this a cool story about how important it is that we work together and help each other in times of need!
I don't really know if this fits in this community, if not just take it down. The map is from the BlackBird group.
Regarding the recent strikes on the Seim river crossings, I've been speculating what Ukraines plans are. Not too long ago, the Ukranian advance around Korenevo slowed a bit. Then they started systematically hitting the Seim river crossings, of which ISW assesses there is only one left.
If the goal was to encircle and trap Russian units, I would assume that Ukraine would make a hard push through Korenevo to the river. As it looks now, it seems like they are leaving a small corridor open. Whether that is due to Russian resistance or Ukrainian planning I have no idea.
This makes me wonder whether they are intentionally leaving a small opening (See: Sun Tzu) to try to make Russian forces low on resources funnel through the opening where they can inflict heavy casualties, or whether they are trying to force the Russians to expend resources trying to prevent being cut off before they close the net.
In any case, I can see Ukraine wanting to secure another major road towards Korenevo that they can use to supply the offensive.
Of course, I don't want anyone to reveal anything that could violate OPSEC, everything I read is based on OSINT. I'm just interested and would like to hear other peoples speculations.
In a sub like this, we cannot exclude the possibly best attempt at taxidermy, made by some poor soul that had likely never seen a lion.
I definitely agree with the majority here (even though my club doesn't). My general feeling is that VAR, while leading to a bit higher accuracy in refereeing has come at the cost of several things that make it not worth it:
The controversy, and feeling of being cheated, when wrong decisions are made has multiplied. At least without VAR, you can have a sense of understanding that the ref can't catch everything. With VAR, it feels much, much worse to be cheated of a penalty, when you know that the ref had access to the same playback as you.
It slows down the game too much. I honestly can't get over the "waiting period" from when the ball hits the net until a goal is confirmed. Same goes for other situations where you need to wait minutes for a decision in a fast-paced and exiting game. It takes the air out of the game.
It's still not being used to punish players that habitually simulate or exaggerate to get penalties.
Finally (this might be a controversial opinion): It leads to a lot of "nitpick" decisions by the ref, where a rule was *technically" broken (i.e. player was 1mm offside, or ball slightly grazed a players arm unintentionally), but where the infraction would be impossible to catch without slow-motion, zoomed in, playback. Some people would argue that this is good, because the rules should always be enforced. My opinion is that the most important thing is to enforce the intent behind the rules. For example, the intent behind the offside rule is obvious: It is not to punish players for having a slightly longer nose than their opponent. Similarly, the intent behind the hands-rule is not to punish people for grazing the ball in such a way that nobody but VAR can notice it.
That's my 2 øre.
