@feddit.nlIt's going to take a lot of brave people and a lot of money to demine Ukraine. Luckily, Ukrainians are very brave and they have some extremely rich friends.
100% a public transit enjoyer. I get annoyed with people in my city who complain endlessly about how shitty our bus service is. I've been getting the bus daily since childhood, and it used to be so much worse. 15 minute minimum wait, often it just wouldn't show up, and expensive fares. Now it's uncommon for me to wait for more than 5 minutes, the fares have reduced, and it's reliable. The only issue is that the bus gets stuck in traffic because there are twice as many cars on the roads now compared to 25 years ago. So great job drivers, you've created a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Most of it comes from people who have next to no experience of using public transit, and will just latch onto any excuse not to use it, when in reality they're snobs who don't like to admit that they think getting the bus is below them. It's not. I used to get the bus into college with one of my lecturers (RIP) who owned a fucking law firm, and it keeps people humble in my experience. I honestly think society would be healthier if people used public transit more.
Reports are saying there are 40000 reserves being sent to Avdiivka, so it looks like the numbers are going to stay high for a while. Appearently they've also run out of armour, so it's just infantry assaults now. What a horror show. I didn't think Russia had any reserves, since there's no rotation happening.
What a great deal. Ukrainian's democratic and human rites are being taken away by Russians in exchange for some bird food.
So all of those assurances from Western leaders about supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes were completely disingenuous.
After a couple of months of running most days, I reached that amazing fitness level where I'm beginning run with relative ease again. I celebrated by buying myself a pair of fancy sport headphones. Hopefully I'll be able to tackle a 10k again by the end of the year. Also, it's fucking cold outside all of a sudden. What the hell.
I have no idea how Russia is sustaining these losses, or accepting them, but they are. I hope the US manages to pass a support package for Ukraine soon. Ukraine needs everything the West can send. I'd love to see EU countries up the ante too.
I looked it up, and a 6700XT costs the same price as a PS5/Xbox in my country. Add onto that all of the extra components you'll need to build a PC and it's way in excess of what a console costs. Sorry, but the cost of entry for PC just doesn't compare to consoles.
