Why do #UA soldiers so often use drones to finish off the wounded Russians?
Because Russians don't really let their own soldiers go back. If they get wounded - their commanders still expect them to patch themselves up and continue to infiltrate behind our lines.
Sure, I'd be great if we had the means to retrieve them and capture them. But alas - they gotta go.
Reminder - these guys didn't come here for a tourist trip. They willingly signed up to kill us.

@wapella @RobertOBrien26 @GrayConnolly Vacant is some of the most dangerous there is. That’s where no one ever sees you ever again. You sure you know Chicago?
English
@RobertOBrien26 @GrayConnolly Not sure about that. Much of that West and South Side property isn't considered residential anymore. Quite possibly not part of the survey. Just vacant lots. Cityblocks with nobody living there in very convenient locations to major employers.
Agree, on the active refusal.

This (and exactly the same problems across the English speaking world) matters far more than anything happening in the Middle East or Ukraine ... it is astounding to me that anyone concerned with actually conservative politics cares more about foreign squabbles than this⬇️

Did Russia just poison Lindsey Graham?
There seriously needs to be an investigation. Russia just sent a delegation to Khamenei’s funeral in Tehran where the IRGC and funeral organizers was calling for myself, President Trump and Senator Graham to be assassinated.
Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine one day ago calling for a Russian sanctions bill that he claimed the White House supports.
Now he is suddenly dead from a random illness according to his staff.
Did Russia just murder a US Senator?
Kate from Kharkiv@BohuslavskaKate
SEN. GRAHAM: We've reached an agreement with the White House on a version of the Russian sanctions bill that they will support. It means it's going to become law. So, when I get back to Washington, I'm going to go with Senator Blumenthal to the Republican and Democratic leaders to see if we can find time to move this Russian sanctions package that would give tools to President Trump to help end this war. There are some things we can do on the technology front to build on the lethality of Ukraine to protect itself from ballistic missile attack. If we did that, combined with creating tools to punish those countries that prop up Putin and make money off this war, then I think we've got the best chance since I've been coming here in the last five years to get Putin to the peace table.

More and more unprecedented finger-pointing at Putin in Russia, from former propagandists like Remeslo, to members of the oligarchy like Melnichenko, to an editorial in an intelligence magazine ridiculing his recent speech at Valdai. While these may be organic and uncoordinated outbursts of frustration, the mild or no repression against such outspokenness is indicative of the FSB tolerating it. Which begs the question: how long is left?

@combat1921 @taproot1337 @woke_bitcoiner @dhh The point is false though. C is infinitely faster than Python and Ruby to a magnitude that's impossible to quantify. On the other hand one cannot even write modern software in ASM, its not cross platform and there is no interface for doing so.
English
@taproot1337 @ghostof142 @woke_bitcoiner @dhh Yes, I see the argument you were intending to make, now.
"Static types are actually a (cheap) abstraction over typeless assembly, and is often worth it, just as dynamic types are a (often cheap) abstraction over static types and is often worth it"
English
Narrative violation: "The type safety we gave up hasn’t been noticeable in any concrete way yet, especially considering our test coverage has never been better."
But exactly what we see with Rails and LLMs. They're a beautiful and effective combination.

@taproot1337 @combat1921 @woke_bitcoiner @dhh WASM is a joke. I don't know why you're so obsessed with ASM but the world has moved on.

@combat1921 @ghostof142 @woke_bitcoiner @dhh haha don't worry I am not going to try to convince you there. JS is a mistake
He wanted to do a scheme like language and I think that would have been much better
However with web assembly being allowed more access in the browser a more agnostic frontend world should emerge

@AMK_Mapping_ Zircon and Kinzhal interceptions 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Deutsch
Let me make this clear, because this has always been a point of debate:
From my observations, the interception rate of Iskander-M ballistic missiles when they are targeting Kyiv is around 30%. If you include regions where there are no Patriot systems, then the number will be much lower.
Additionally, I have been able to confirm a total of 5 Zircon interceptions and 2 Kinzhal interceptions so far during the war. I'm fairly confident about the figures on Zircons, but I expect the number for Kinzhals is a bit higher. Either way, for these two missiles, interceptions are incredible low, and are usually based on luck with where the Patriot systems are stationed (the closer to the missile terminal trajectory, the higher chance of interception).
AMK Mapping 🇳🇿@AMK_Mapping_
Like, yes, I get it, you need some confirmation bias from one person. Continue to consume that if that's what you need to keep yourself comfy and happy, but I don't need to see it hundreds of times under every single post I make about air defence. It's been nearly 6 months of this and its getting ridiculous. I could probably find a dozen other people who disagree with him who have the same qualifications and you wouldn't believe. I know he's wrong because I have seen the interception rates on ballistics with my own eyes.

@UrbanCourtyard 7% cap rate 😂
which kind soul will step up to the plate to subsidize all of the occupants of this building!
English
This small mixed-use building is for sale in Chicago, and it exemplifies the merits of small-parcel urban development. On a very small lot, it supports four households and a great business.
It generates economic activity with no parking. There’s no parking provided
A single small building cannot create an entire district, but many buildings of this scale can produce housing diversity, local commerce, architectural variety, walkability, etc etc.
Small parcels are the building blocks of the best urban neighborhoods and we should build more buildings like these (but three stories taller and more garden in back)

@ghostof142 @mitchellh yeah now show that beach in Michigan in three months
English
Zero regrets about the cost of living in CA. The joy of walking to this anytime I want can’t be overstated. Touch grass therapy is strong here.
English
@tabflows @mitchellh It's freezing 6 months out of the year but the beaches are far more beautiful than California's which are paved over and devoid of plants. A large part of Michigan's west coast looks like the third photo. I haven't gone into the water once in California, or even sun bathed.

@taproot1337 @woke_bitcoiner @dhh Can you imagine of Windows 95 was written in Rails? The thing would have to have the compute of every AI datacenter in the world at once just to serve one user. I don't understand why DHH is so deluded about what he has built. Software from 40 years ago runs laps around Ruby.

@profplum99 What’s the alternative for retail? Mainstream advice for everyone is VT, VTI, VOO, VXUS.

Because nothing says, "Invest for the future" like investing with the dominant companies of today.

"Hello. My name is SPYM. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Renewed by a makeover (new index, new ticker, fee cut) and fueled by revenge (ever since VOO dethroned SPY), $SPYM is having a year, doubled assets in 12mo to $157b and just secured one of the biggest distribution coups in history as the default ETF in Trump Accounts (the best choice IMO), est $12b/yr in flows to start + future generations are going to grow up $SPYM investors. Do I think it will surpass VOO in flows? Not anytime soon but it could easily be #2 or #3 and IMO will someday be bigger than SPY. Who knows we may start calling it SPYM & Chill. Wrote a note on this today check it out on BI ETF
