  1. Kyiv: used to blackouts, equipped for blackouts Moscow:
  2. Supposedly off of I-35 tonight.
  3. And following a trail through the leaves with the camera on the drone and not wrecking the props on any of the bushes.
  4. And to this day, one of them does not understand why his house key doesn't fit the lock on his door.
  5. I have no clue what is going on there, but is this another battle where Ukraine is going to make Russia pay a massive price? It's costing Ukraine a lot, but we've seen it in the past where they decide the cost to Russia is far higher.
  6. As evidenced by multiple threads in DT (including the ChatGPT thread), as well as the "stupid shit we see on Facebook" threads in Lulz, it's far easier and cheaper (and safer to those doing it) to just run a bunch of fake ads/disinformation posts on social media than to rig an actual election. You will like this - I went to look up the context of Charlie Strong saying that "Social media is going to be the downfall of society" and I came across this which kind of proves my point: Shocking Tragedy: Beloved Former Texas Longhorns Coach Charlie Strong Fatally Shot in - AMA SPORTS ARENA There's going to be a number of people who think Charlie Strong was gunned down in Austin last year. And that Mack Brown succeeded him as head coach here.
  7. I mean, how many of us were scarred by this guy in the 80s
  8. I have the Falcon 4.0 big box as well. Falcon 4.0, one of the Wing Commanders, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, games that I waited on way past the original release dates and had to upgrade my computer for as I got them. I think Falcon 4.0 was supposed to come out in late 1995 or 1996 and it was, if I recall, released around 1999 (edit: I looked, 1998). I recently went through archive.org looking at old computer gaming magazines and kept coming across Falcon 4.0 stuff over the late 90s. BoomMF, I hope you know that there are updates still being released for it today (well July of this year) including graphics updates. Homepage - Falcon BMS Downloads - Falcon BMS
  9. U.S. Military in Latin America and the Caribbean – Airwars
  10. I wouldn't put it past a developer or two or three to try and still get it out of AISD's hands and into somebody's hands that will sell it to them. It's that way with all of the schools. The scary thing is if/when the state takes over, if enough parents bail for private schools or move to one of the nearby ISDs, there will be a lot more consolidation.
  11. I'm going to try and avoid twitter, but the video still plays on the page instead of being taken off somewhere else with Bluesky. Unfortunately a lot of the sources referenced are using twitter. I'll try to screenshot. It's fascinating as hell to me. I took a long break from following it closely because I was busy with other stuff, but watching Red Dawn with my kid recently (and Rocky IV and World War III with Rock Hudson) got me back into, as he was dumbfounded over how they went from their portrayals in the 1980s to now.
  12. Having watched videos from several different meetings with different schools between parents and AISD/board members, there was always a whole lot that seemed way off with the whole process. Seeing the same person tell two different schools the same thing when one school was turbo-fucked and the other merely fucked, even though that person already knew the plan was crazy given that it's 2025 and parents are in constant contact with one another both within their own schools and with parents from other schools. Parents were going to talk to parents from other schools. I was pretty fucking pissed to find on Friday that my son would have to leave his middle school for another middle school and a completely different high school, even though we had been promised that the verticals wouldn't change. This whole thing has been so fucking crazy. I don't know whether the people who were doing all of this were incompetent or were lying through their teeth for some reason.
  13. BNO is out of Europe and has been around for a long time - they are legit.
  14. Edit: a text from a friend a few minutes ago said she had the feeling that the superintendent was being told some things by people under him, and when he showed up at a couple of the schools, he heard something completely different. But that’s just a feeling she had. Based on conversations at a kid’s birthday party that turned into a UT watch party on Saturday, some of the board members/advocates were probably playing favorites and clearly protecting some schools at the cost of other schools while pretending to advocate for everybody and telling everybody the same things. There may or may not have been campaign contributions from certain areas/individuals involved with some board members, or discussion of the future political careers of some board members. There is video of some of these board members/advocates trying to play both sides when they knew better and knew which schools were going to be affected. It was a pretty wide range of schools represented at the party, including four of the affected schools (and several of us were going to have our older kids be fucked by the boundary changes), and hearing everybody comparing notes and comparing videos of the advocates was interesting and very enlightening. Some of those board members are going to find that they may not have a chance at future elections, such as the Austin City Council. FAFO. There’s also some pretty fucking arrogant parents and get a few beers in them and they’ll let you know they wanted some schools to stay open simply because they didn’t want those schools’ kids to show up at their kids’ school.
  15. "In essence, the ‘special military operation’ is genocide against our own people". - Mikhail Spiridonov, a participant in the "special operation" and a resident of the village of Yadrikhino in the Transbaikal region. Upon returning home, he discovered that almost no one remained in his village. Of the three mobilized fellow villagers, one was killed, and another returned with severe injuries. "Understand, I’m a soldier. I don’t decide anything." — this guy is signing a contract for the second time already — it’s still not enough for him. And what does he want? Money? No. He just wants to kill — he enjoys it. But the second time, it turned out he had to fight drones, and that he doesn’t want to do: he says he likes to see his enemy.
  16. Kstovo — a little tour of the Lukoil refinery. The video shows repairs being carried out on a distillation column responsible for primary oil processing, which was damaged after previous attacks. They say that everything was "shot down" last night — it’s just that "debris was falling."
  17. As somebody who spent a long time in networking/IT, this is wish fulfillment for me.
  18. Stuff getting hacked about Russia's future bomber
  19. Russias rubber supply impacted paging @PTINS this seems huge. and another refinery
  20. They are definitely hitting them
  21. They probably have their transponders turned off, but would be interesting to see if tankers are leaving the Black Sea through the Straits riding high
