Solid propellants come in two main types. "Composites" are composed mostly of a mixture of granules of solid oxidizer, such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium dinitramide, ammonium perchlorate, or potassium nitrate in a polymer binding agent, with flakes or powders of energetic fuel compounds (examples: RDX, HMX, aluminium, beryllium). Plasticizers, stabilizers, and/or burn rate modifiers (iron oxide, copper oxide) can also be added.

Single-, double-, or triple-bases (depending on the number of primary ingredients) are homogeneous mixtures of one to three primary ingredients. These primary ingredients must include fuel and oxidizer and often also include binders and plasticizers. All components are macroscopically indistinguishable and often blended as liquids and cured in a single batch. Ingredients can often have multiple roles. For example, RDX is both a fuel and oxidizer while nitrocellulose is a fuel, oxidizer, and structural polymer.

So like those little model rockets, but much bigger and more efficient.

Andy Ngo was milkshake head. Unless we also treated this guy to some Delicious Vegan Milkshakes, but I haven't heard of that.

First Thought mentioned them making gains, but what does that even mean? A couple miles (at most) out of the vast swathes that Russia controls? Russia only occupying 19% of the country instead of 20%? And in return they get to see that the wunderwaffen aren't quite as wunder as advertised.

Dunka dunka! Was Magicka 2 any good? I had a lot of stupid fun with the first one.

The Tsaesci were awesome snake people in the in-game book 2920: Last Year of the First Era, but then Oblivion decided they were just regular humanoids. Very lame.

BG3 doesn't do sliders, you choose from a bunch of preset faces, hair, etc. It's decent with diversity though. Lots of good hair options, black/latino/asian faces, my partner and I were able to make characters that were basically "what if us, but hot?"

Also, genital options.

This is the only thing I know about Jiang Zemin and I think I might be okay with that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kGPJzusNPA

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7903104/ this shit is still causing birth defects in Iraq. This is Ukraine's future now.

Which governments aren't authoritarian then?

Do you think it is realistic that Russia will unilaterally pull out? The war will end when Russia leaves, but Russia isn't going to leave until they are pushed out, negotiations are had, or Ukraine is destroyed. The first possibility is becoming increasingly more unlikely, and the last is something that nobody should want

That leaves negotiations. I think Ukraine should come to the table while they still have some leverage, which is decreasing every week that they throw their men into the meat grinder without meaningful gains.

Zs aren't an old Nazi symbol. The balkenkreuz is.

It's not just iron crosses, he's thinking of the balkenkreuzes that are being painted on tanks. The symbol Germany stopped using after WWII.
