    Sounds like ukraine is making some gains around Kherson. It’s unconfirmed bits it’s important because if they push far enough south they can start bringing artillery and ammo to the other side of the dnipro river.

    Forbes did a story, however, saying that RuAF were basically glide bombing the hell out of the bridgeheads. UA has nothing to counter that.

    I had no concept of how big Africa is until I was doing drone footage analysis and it took the plane 6 hours to get on station from takeoff.

    I used to annoy one of my dumbass roommates at PSU by turning the globe we had in our house over and putting Antarctica on the top. Despite all the weed that dude smoked, he couldn't wrap his brain around the concept that there's no up and down in space

    Needs to be some reporting on this among all the networks. Would also likely generate positive sentiment for aid and benefit the WH.

    Why do you say this? I have no idea if it's real or fake. 2.5 miles is a long ass shot and I know nothing about sniping other than reading Carlos Hathcock's book when he was sniping in Vietnam War.

    The amount of bullet drop at 2.5 miles is substantial.

    I read or heard once from a Former Sniper type that the shot in Shooter - which I think they called like a mile - would have required such arc that the bullet angle of attack at impact would have been near vertical and the physics impact of such an angle would have been the body basically imploding/collapsing from the force. Someone correct me here.

    so at 2.5 miles this guys bullet touched the moon and should have vaporized that body.

    2.5 miles is wild. Good bit of drop and you have to take into account coriolis effect.

    This is TMB. We can’t figure out 20% to tip our server but we can compute bullet drop and adjust for Coriolis drift in our heads.

    I thought the part under interesting was the best part. Probably because it’s wishful thinking on my part but I’m hoping for the old Russian traditional of revolution. Seems to me the only way Russia can stop the war. Putin will never take on that kind of personal humiliation.

    The part about the moms protesting is important, no one wants to beat up or shoot old ladies. Think it takes something like that to actually get some traction.

    Guess what the next big BLM-type protest is going to have as a special guest? No, not protesters getting run over, that's so 2015. No, it'll have Right Wing drones bombing them
