      • Someday I wish to craft a tweet like this.

          • No gore in this video, but it shows how important modern equipment is to the survivability of soldiers against enemy arms. First person view of a direct hit on an armored humvee. No one is wounded, just concussions.

            • This is from the usually reliable, pro-Russian Telegram channel Rybar, talking about the situation near Kherson as of 3PM local time (I don't know, however, if that's 3PM EEST or 3PM MSK).

                • Write up from Telegram (in English) of the day's progress in the Kherson theater. https://t.me/rybar/39764

                  Also, video claiming to be the sound of an Iranian suicide drone (launched by Russia) against infrastructure near Odessa. It's in Ukranian, but if you're using Telegram on your phone, there's a translate option. Watch the third video: https://t.me/rybar/39767?single

                          I don’t expect you, an engineer, to understand markets and finance so I’ll just let you know that this isn’t a big win for Musk. In fact, it’s a sizeable L and indicates that he was going to lose his lawsuit against Twitter. Now he’s paying a huge premium for a tech company at what might be the bottom of the market for tech companies.
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                            Kasparov is exactly right. And him donating the Starlink doesn't change any of that.

                            • A libertarian advocating capitulation to a brutal autocrat. Bloody hell.

                                Big win for this engineer given that I got twitter stock for a lot less than $54.20 per share.

                                As for Musk, twitter is a piece of his plan to take over the internet with his "everything app"...



                                However, I don't expect you, a bean counter, to understand technology and taking risks for huge payouts.
