Thank you for the detailed context. These posts are great.

I didn't know about this one.

This is demonstrating trust in each other as much as trust in the equipment.

Nerd time. Hump yards or hump shunting is when they push a rail wagon down a hill and use gravity to push it.

Then there are a bunch of switches to go through to make it go into a particular road.

It then runs into whatever wagon was already there (and automatically couples together).

This impact is very bad for wagon mounted equipment and sensitive cargo.

I hate hump shunting. So I agree with this post. DO NOT HUMP.

Yes. But protecting yourself from genocide requires you do to things that were previously unthinkable.

War is hell. Evil is relative I'm afraid.

I only ever played number 2. The best mechanic was that I could play with my casual gamer wife and it still be fun for both of us.

Guild wars really has separated itself from other mmos in critical ways that are likely not apparent to most.

Having the areas be brighter and happier when you complete them is a nice touch too.

The context of this rebate is the tax is designed to pay for roads. These companies have to split their diesel use between vehicles that use roads and those that do not (e.g. mine trucks).

So they managed to get someone in government many years ago to say "why yes, you don't use roads so you don't need to pay the roads tax on fuel".

Considering how profitable these companies are ... well.

Happy to be corrected in this background if someone knows better.

That's really neat, thanks for spending time to write that up.

Makes sense that they had the military hierarchy and that integrated a secondary acceptance that you listen to your logistics experts (that obviously includes the engineer corps).

Highly recommend this French film to those curious. Thanks for reminding me if it.

There are other versions of this infographic that do exactly that.

Not too difficult to find hopefully.

In my opinion it's "advertising"; To the doubters; To their own people seeing friends not come back that the sacrifice is worth it; To the EU showing the damage to Russia; To other countries interested in buying some capability.

If you never advertise your wins, people think your just getting rolled.

Edited for formatting.

Agreed.

Making it a black and white photo is salting the wounds.

Will it play on Linux?

That's the big question I'm asking for all remakes.

Just to be a pedant, I know you meant MW not mW.

I'm happy for them to waste 10mW but paper straws vs 10MW of bs... well I think we know what we prefer.

The fog of war is extra thick on this one.

In my opinion, What do we know with 90% certainty? A F15 was downed and one of two rescue missions attempted.

50%? A second rescue op was conducted

0.1%? How many people on each side were killed in this series of events.

In the ukraine conflict people wait for video or sat proof. We're getting very little actual proof from either side. It's a mess!

Was that their nannying uniform or are they part of the nursing medical staff?

I just feel old when I see it, that's all. Your good :)

Completely agree. Absolute hell on earth.

And people ask why the French didn't want to go through this again 20 years later...

I feel as though I should have known about this. Thanks for sharing with background.

Thanks PugJesus as always!

If you look at kill count.... our spicy Bois have knocked out a lot of aircraft. So what if they were already on the ground.

I thought that. I thought I would read just a couple... those were funny, I'll read a couple more. Then I ended up reading the whole thing.
