  1. We don't know that it has happened yet. Such maneuvers take some time, especially with the number of forces involved and the terrain. With the operational security that Ukraine is trying to enforce, we may not know that it has happened until well after it is completed. Patience, man, patience.
  2. Does Kenneth Copeland know that's missing from his dresser drawer?
  3. Maybe some of the oligarchs see the writing on the wall and deal with him first. You know, Do unto others before they do unto you. What moron would fly over this war zone now? The world knows that Russia would shoot down a civilian airliner in a heartbeat.
  4. Yep, same thing: emblem of a loser.
  5. That would be a damn big drone.
  6. If A-10s could mount a full suite of SEAD/DEAD equipment, yes, I think they would make a big difference. Otherwise, they are sitting ducks. Even in Dessert Storm, where we had air supremacy, A-10s had to fly above 10,000 feet due to SAMs and AAA. That cut down on their brrrrt ability by a lot.
  7. The real question, and crux of this battle, is can Russia launch a big counterattack to try to break through to them? With the river in the way and how HIMARS o'clock has been eroding Russian supplies and equipment, I don't think that they can. ETA - This doesn't mean that Russia won't try, nor that Russia won't do something else, like shoot cruise missiles at Kyiv or Odessa.
  8. Something tells me that the Russians will see that ammo again, but not static in boxes. Get some, Ukraine!
  9. Ice makers are just one more thing to break and have to repair. Besides, I'm in the wrong Surly 1%.
  10. People who don't refill the ice trays when they get ice. C'mon, it isn't hard to put water in trays and put them back in the freezer.
  11. Or any meeting that you organize and schedule. I had an engineer on a project who would schedule progress meetings or meetings to go over technical problems that arose on the project, then be at least 15 minutes late to his own meeting. I had to call and remind him of one of these meetings. Asshole wasted hours of other folks' time. And my employer still hires him for projects, but not mine.
  12. The Poles have always been badasses. The geography of Poland makes defending Poland very difficult. Germany and Russia have meddled in Polish politics for centuries, influencing and directing events to their individual and mutual benefit, but the Polish military has generally been top notch. Read up on who saved Vienna from the Ottomans. When I was a young Marine mortarman, we learned about the Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces. The Poles were always mentioned as equal to the best Soviet and East German forces. On top of that, Polish intelligence was the class of the Warsaw Pact, even better than the Stasi. Don't sleep on the Poles.
  13. Doesn't matter; the cake and candles melt before you get to them anyway.
  14. Looks like someone was unhappy with the divorce settlement.
  15. I was going to comment that the Guard troops probably appreciate the fresher MREs. And the troops in Korea must feel better about having fresher ammo.
  16. The thought occurred to me that someone may have lit up a cigarette or stogie and set off the smoke alarm, too. But, yes, stupidity is deeply involved, just because of where it happened.
  17. I think some dumbass pulled the fire alarm and doesn't want to own up. That or detection of an actual fire seem, to me, to be about the only ways to set off all the sprinklers and the announcement.
  18. Yeah, the bitch wasn't hollering stop when her punks were jumping the big man. Momma needs to shut the fuck up and let her crotch goblins learn the lesson.
  19. Scheduling a meeting after 11:00 am on Friday.
  20. If they had the valor and honor to eat a bullet, they would have had the valor and honor to take out the shooter quickly. They are entirely bereft of valor, honor, and both physical and moral courage.
  21. I doubt that her relatives will forget what happened to her and submit to the orcs. And I wish that we had an "Oorah!" reaction button.
  22. So much about that picture puts my hackles up. At least you use a properly colored Yeti like a civilized human.
  23. Assholes who attend a meeting, are given every chance to contribute, including being asked point blank, then bitch the rest of the day that no one wants their input. Dickweeds who make suggestions for major structural add-ons on construction projects during the final walk through, rather than while we are settling the scope of the engineering of the project. They were part of the team who set the scope. Then they complain that no one wants to hear their ideas. People who leave their dishes in the break room sink for someone else to clean up. Bitch, neither your mom nor the dish fairy work here. Clean your shit up. Shit-canning their dishes works to get this point across. ETA - If you are a wastewater operator and you show up to work in a white shirt, thinking that I'll assign you to a desk task so that you stay shiny and clean, best believe that you are fixing to get dirty cleaning out a pump or dewatering sludge.
  24. ^^^^ We can only hope. ^^^^^
  25. Perhaps. They may also have wandered into an area that they didn't know had recently been taken by the Ukrainian Army. Either way, you know those red legs were busting ass to get those guns ready for the hasty direct fire mission and praying their asses off that their HE rounds would penetrate.
