In the cases where I've been asked to do things like this it was instead of my regular work, not on top of it. US labor laws are tricky, but in general they need to assign you an amount of work that can be done in a reasonable amount of time. (contact a lawyer for details)

Various reports have stated that because of the way Russia does meat assaults it is more like 990 dead and 110 wounded. There is of course no way to know for sure (at least not public information, who knows what classifed data shows).

There are also an unknown number of POWs and surrenders that are not in the 1100 number.

I can think of few things teens do more embarrassing than making someone else change your dirty diapers.

I'm one of the lucky few who have a pension. I do not have enough savings to last until the pension kicks in, and in any case the pension is less than my current income, but I could live off my pension and social security alone.

Nearly everybody who speaks English is rich. We just have no clue who poor other parts of the world are and so think of ourselves as poor.

They make that impossible. they track surveys of how much ai helps - but the lowest grade possible is 0-5% improvement. No way to mark that it cost me time vs writting code by hand. If you can't measure it you can't improve it - and they are not allowing measures

China was a really backward country 50 years ago. I expect that China has paved a lot of roads which are still in good shape. Europe by contrast has had paved roads for a long time and those older roads via normal wear and tear are wearing out. The question then becomes when do you patch, recover, or replace - this is in order of both cost and how nice the road is after. Give China a few more decades and their roads will become less smooth because it isn't worth the cost to make them perfect.

good tents are worth the money. The heavy canvas ones are great if not too far from a car, but too heavy to carry far.

Depends on the tent. Some stakes first some last. Dome tents stakes last, most everything else first

At the time germany was hesitating to send their tanks which would be more useful. This gave cover that it would be escalation

Amtrak needs to start with the NEC. Boston-NYC-DC should be easy mode for running a train system. Until they get that working as it should, NYC-Chicago is next. Places like the PNW or the rest of the midwest need service, but the low handing fruit needs to be first.

Please lets work together and force them to run good service where it is easy and develop experts in running good trains. So long as you are pushing for the PNW and I'm pushing for my home we are divided and nothing will get done.

The Abrams tanks were sent in large part knowing those objections, but by sending them it encouraged sending other tanks that are more useful.
