Probably the best way to get out of this war would be to withdraw to the 2014 borders and call it a day. The reality is that Russia has zero good options when it comes to using nukes and using a nuclear weapon won't improve their situation. First off, China has made it abundantly clear that...

That's a cheesy ad hominem attack. Just because I have traveled to other screwed-up countries and have developed an eye for the symptoms of a failing society doesn't mean I'd want any of those things to happen here. And in truth I have no super-powers that make what I want or do not want...

The USA has a demonstrable majority of ignorant people, many of them in power. Like many ignorant people, they do not realize what they do not know. Current US policy is on track to make the USA irrelevant. Nobody is paying attention to us anymore or expecting us to do anything useful.

Did you just describe the Untied States there?

Abusive people and abusive countries always claim that they are no worse than anyone else.

The "pedophilia capital of the Western World" is in Washington, DC.

You've never visited Russia, obviously. In Russia serious criminals do all of those things and more. And they get away with it as long as none of their victims are powerful and they keep up on their bribes. What's more, many of the worst criminals wear uniforms. If you go to the doctor in...

One of the latest innovations the Ukrainians are doing is in their drone swarms some fraction of the drones are equipped with a Luneberg Lens. That makes the radar return from the drone much larger which causes it to soak up most of the air defense fire and let the drones not equipped proceed...

That's the same reason it makes no sense to shoot down drones with missiles. Even the cheapest portable SAM costs around $100,000. And the fancy ones can cost as much as $5 million each. Chances are we will have some kinds of computer-controlled mobile gun systems with 360 degree cameras. Or...

A lot of people thought fighter aircraft and bombers were obsolete in 1960 because of guided missiles. A lot of people thought tanks were obsolete in 1975 because of anti-tank guided missiles. Yet here we are in 2026 with both of those things still existing.

Well, everyone but millions of pissed-off Ukrainians... Yes, the "Russia could win this war if they really went all-out" trope has been around since 2022, never made much sense, and hasn't improved over time. In 2022 it was possible there was a strategy that Russia could have employed that...

We do not "all know that". As far as anyone can see, short of using their nukes, Russia has gone "all in" from the very start in February of 2022. The reasons that Russia is not winning their war has more to do with trying to execute a crappy plan, with crappy troops led by crappy officers...

I think that if someone is so emotionally immature and unregulated that they become enraged when another road user inconveniences them then they shouldn't have a drivers license at all and be forced to walk everywhere. We live in a horrifically broken society where we treat such bizarre...

In that case I'd go with a just a seat bag. Some combination of these two would do the job. You can also find other less expensive solutions out there but Swift Industries makes pretty stuff...

Velcro will never let you down. https://arkel.ca/products/tailrider-trunk-bag?variant=46307275440377 Oh, and it has both zippered external pockets and mesh internal pockets and a divider so you can sort of organize stuff.

LOLZ

Except that the bike lanes are mostly just paint and can easily be invaded by multi-ton murder machines at literally any moment. We can do much better than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_intersection

I agree except you skipped the part where we have been subsidizing both petroleum and the legacy auto industry all of our lives. So if 'subsidies are bad' then they certainly are equally bad. How many bailouts have the big 3 automakers in the states had in the last fifty years? I'm sure any...

Seems like China is doing a good job of hoovering up all the resources in Russia right now.
