Yet we didn’t hear it from the beginning. In the beginning we saw the might of the second strongest military of the world ready to crush a smaller country in no time. 100 000s of troops, a fleet of battleships, fighter jets and tanks. We all remember this giant column of thousands and thousands of tanks on the way to Kiev. They’re were untouchable.
Where are they now? Where is the flagship of one of the worlds strongest militaries? Where are the men that first heralded the attack? Where are those untouchable tanks?
I’m generally rude to russian propagandists. What I can’t stand even less are useful idiots. What are you?
They can’t and have neither. The soviet era equipment is a crumbling pile of junk and if they try to draft more soldiers Putin faces mutiny, something he absolutely doesn’t need right now. Russias economy is in shambles. After 4 years of war.
The best thing they can do is just pretend they are so strong that they can carry on in this war forever. So… just shut the fuck up.
The Hard Fork Podcast is pretty okay. It concentrates a bit too much on AI and whatever the current Silicon Valley hype is, but I like to use it to stick my head out of the anti-AI bubble.
Lol, nevermind. I just wanted to recommend the episode where they are talking a bit about Charlie Kirk, just to find out you need a New York Times abo to listen to old episodes. What the fuck??
I have to disagree with you there. The Christkindlmarkt in Nuremberg is big with tons of people but not especially beautiful. I like Nuremberg, but recommend a visit at another time of the year.
Fun fact: the leading engineer also became decompression disease and was almost entirely unable to work. Like you said, the disease was unknown, so not only the workers catched it, although they obviously were affected the most. The project was actually finished by his wife, who unofficially took over as chief engineer and stemmed most of the work. Of course a women as chief engineer was unthinkable for her 19th century contemporaries, so it was just known that „she helped her husband.“
The Redditors of the year 2010 would have been delighted.
