It’s okay. After the apocalypse you won’t have electricity, but you will have as much time to read books as you like.
Unfortunately, your glasses will break and , unable to zoom in like you would on your kindle, you won’t be able to read anything.
I saw a documentary about this once. Although why the person doesn’t then just walk over to the drug store and pick up some reading glasses, I’ll never understand.
First, I disagree that Russia saw Ukraine as turning into a long war. They thought they were going to blitzing into Kyiv and force a change of government. They thought they would do the 1968 Prague thing and it would just be over. He did not expect to still be fighting almost two years later.
Second, if they can’t manage to properly invade a country on their own border after being able to set their own timelines, position their troops and plan supply lines, and draw up plan after plan for contingencies- there’s no way they open up a second front, especially against a NATO country.
This is just saber-rattling in order to try to scare European countries from continuing to send weapons to Ukraine.

Even at $30k per year it was ridiculously cheap. I have a friend of a friend that was going to do this for his retirement. $2500 per month for a room and board that allows you to spend your life sailing from port to port is actually a great deal, and if/when you need more medical care you simply move back off of the ship. The idea was that passengers could just buy another ticket and keep sailing for as many years as they wanted.
I called this one.
Except in this case it’s actually working.
And to the degree it doesn’t, it’s because of people who “don’t care.” With Bobo giving a handjob in public and Trump seeing no negative impact from the indictments, and the J6ers still in Congress and getting reelected - it’s the people who “don’t care” who don’t hold the politicians responsible who make committing crimes and defending the criminals just a part of normal US politics.
This is in the UK, but in general a you cannot sign a contract that relieves the establishment of taking all reasonable safety concerns. There is an expectation of a standard and professional level of safety. The contract just gets tossed as non-binding.
However, I would be surprised if that happened in this case. I am doubtful Netflix will be found liable because I expect with the budget and visibility on the project, they had enough people involved that they took adequate and legally required precautions.
Dear God, Hope you got the letter and I pray you can make it better down here.
As I’m sure you’re aware, many women are shamed into hiding the fact that they were sexually assaulted. It is extremely common for the woman to either blame herself, or feel disgusting, or to be afraid of not being believed or of the police themselves. A lot of women in these categories do not report their rapes. Only about 30% of rapes are ever reported. Many women feel they need to just move past it, and many are told that explicitly.
But when you see your rapist reaching a powerful and influential political office, like the mayor of New York or the president of the United States, you might feel compelled to finally come out and say something.
OP up there was talking about SIGINT - signals intelligence. That means that we helped them design their bombing run (eg to avoid detection) and probably helped designate a target.
Whether or not they received any assistance in the design or manufacturing of the drone, they very very likely had help from US intelligence.
Against this scale of attack (that is, small and ineffective) there’s not a lot that you can do or that would be worth it. I think we flew one or two two-plane sorties that hit warehouses/storage units, but I wouldn’t expect anything more than that.
The point when we get truly involved is if Iran takes on a major role rather than just issuing press releases.
It is the song that doesn’t end.
