So a process that generates CO2 and alcohol from sugar is zero carbon eh?
I presume there’s some sort of offset. I wonder if they offset my farts though.
Yeah it's about imperialism. Which even that has a beer. Multiple actually. Including nope rope. Look up the roots of the moniker india pale ale.

Thanks to general anarchist principles of immediate community mutual aid and local support I'm doing okay. It's not like I traveled around half the planet to work in florida or anything.
I can't come to NZ. I'd be murdered when they told me to leave and I punched a bitch.

S’OK. We don’t have ICE or anything. You could be an Overstayer.
I just found a pretty good infographic on how carbon offsets and hence claims of carbonneutral™ work
Was the WWIII thread.
Bastards are leveling Mariupol. Trying to obscure their war crimes no doubt.
Could the reason behind this be as simple as the stupid orc entered the GPS coordinates of his current location instead of the target location?
No idea how these weapons work, but it sure looks like something like that.
That would not surprise me, it actually looks like a controlled maneuver, but I have no idea how those things work. The Pentagon reported that a good half of their missiles suffer some sort of failure on launch.
Definitely not for a rocket (MLRS/HIMARS), that would imply some kind of guided missile, except it seems highly unlikely a missile would go "active" that quickly and they typically aren't *that* maneuverable. Even if it's a surface to air, they tend to kill more based on speed and limited maneuvering, not making 180 degree turns, that's movie-stuff. I'd think it's a launch malfunction of some kind, like failure for fins to deploy or something. And if it's a surface to surface rocket or missile, those typically have safety-systems in the computer where it can't be fired on your own position, even if you enter your own coordinates. It will come up with an error. You enter in "boxes" of all your friendlies and positions, even if you aren't firing anywhere near them, at least that was SOP.
Leaked “shopping list” reveals Russia’s most “desperately” needed war tech
Ukraine says Russia's military arsenal has dwindled by nearly half.
arstechnica.com
Ukrainian hackers created fake profiles of attractive women to trick Russian soldiers into sharing their location, report says. Days later, the base was blown up.
Russian soldiers sent the Ukrainian hackers photos, which they geolocated and sent to the Ukrainian military, the Financial Times reported.
www.businessinsider.com
Things have been fairly quiet as Ukraine has been silent on what is going on as it seems that the "news" is the main source of Russian "intelligence", but so far it looks like
- Ukraine moved forces towards Kherson (South) and announced a forthcoming offensive operation
- Russia responded by redistributing power to the South to reinforce Kherson
- Ukraine destroyed all the crossings across the Dnipro river cutting off all those Russian forces from supply and reinforcement
- Ukraine takes out most of the Russian air defense in the area so they easily operate drones and UAVs
- This cut off area is all within Ukrainian artillery
- Ukraine goes about destroying ammo dumps, headquarters and anything that moves in Kherson
- Russia tries to reinforce the area but Ukraine has all possible river crossings targeted.
- Instead of mounting a ground offense Ukraine just weakens the Russians and takes ground where the Russians have largely collapsed to limit losses.
- Moving reinforcements to the South has left Russian defensive lines near Kharkiv (North) sparse.
- Ukraine is now actively retaking poorly defended ground around Kharkiv
- So far Russia has largely responded by shelling civilian areas and is reportedly trying to buy arms from North Korea

I watched a good military analysis today:
Cease fire really screws over Ukraine and Russia benefits from it.
It takes time to arrange and train conscripts. Russia can bring about 1.5x more to the party, but Ukraine can get more combatants faster/in the short term, well before Russia.
Russia has done the cease-fire thing several times in other spots to re-arrange their forces and get themselves re-organized. They've done it in Syria.
Best case is for Ukraine to really keep pushing in the short term. Both countries cannot maintain a 1000+ mile front.
Russia reverts more to a war of terror (is already kind of doing) rather than putting real effort and resources towards it. This allows them to "not back down", but keep a propaganda effort going. They are far too invested to back down.
For air power, they believe Ukraine will eventually/ultimately get F16s from NATO. Grippens would be better, because they can take the Meteor missile that can go head-to-head with the R-77-1 found on Russian air-to-air aircraft, but there are far more F16s available worldwide and it is a more likely scenario from NATO. They would lack a good counter for that R-77-1, advanced (long range) AMRAAMs would not be supplied or compatible with the F16 anyway. They would take at least a year to train and field technicians and pilots. Current Ukrainian Migs or other aircraft equipped with the AGM-88 are jerry-rigged and can't use the missiles for significant destruction of air defense assets, they can't interface with the aircraft's threat-detection equipment, so they have to rely on pre-programmed radar signatures/frequencies and sites that occurs before takeoff. Current phased array radars are also fairly hardened against fragmentation heads on these HARMS and shrapnel simply doesn't hurt them that bad. So the idea is these may be able to create more temporary denials of air-defenses when drones would be able to get in and sight targets for artillery and other drones, rather than being able to conduct aircraft air-strikes and use the HARM as general air-defense suppression. They simply don't have that capability because the aircraft threat detection doesn't talk to the missile. The HARM is fairly flexible, it doesn't *need to*, but it then loses a lot of utility.
Older F18s are unlikely, they don't have the avionics capability of both the F16 or Grippen and lack the short-landing capability of both (tailhook operations not likely).
Anyway, that's the summary.

Ukraine has taken back 1000 square kilometers and 20 or so towns in the last week. Ukrainian grannies seem pretty happy about it.
Still no sign of Hunter Biden's biolab.

and no sonnerads on those soldiers! Win/win!
The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme at the end........*chef kiss*
I wonder if the remaining soldiers were wearing seatbelts…
Leave no man behind, except the ones that fall off.
It is starting to sound like the Russian army is utterly collapsing around Kharkiv. I hope those poor dumb bastards run or surrender.
Russian 202th separate regiment operating in Kharkiv has been completely abandoned by its commanders.
The unit is currently without communication or command, presumably roaming around...
"The 237th Guard Airborne Assault Regiment of the Russian Federation ceased its existence due to the death or injury of all servicemen. A large portion of the survivors are in extremely critical condition."
There is also unconfirmed reports that Russian soldiers are shooting the ones that want to retreat.
Some Soldiers are found dead before the battles have even started.

Sounds like some things never change.
The British did that in the second world war...
Are the British still doing it?
Seems the Russians did not get the memo.
Wonder who else missed it.
I believe this was intended as a joke. But what makes it funny is that it is probably close to the truth. Ukraine just got all the heavy weapons they have been asking for. Sadly in a worn out poorly maintained state.
