If you burn that oil instead you would run out in about 10 hours assuming you were going for the same energy output. A lot oi oil is in them for sure, but compared to a oil burned for power it is nothing.

Meanwhile just as good chefs that didn’t get the fame break (or possibly better but their personality means they shouldn’t be let out of the kitchen) are struggling to make ends meet.

it is also a death sentence to be on the frontlines with no way to learn where you need to go. unsecure comms are better than no comms and russia isn’t competent enough to provide secure comms.

kbin/mbin is another alternative. I have no idea how the moderation tools are, but it is open source.

That is what I meant - engage to facebook means you like it and want to see more.

I’m able to keep facebook okay, but only by constant blocking all from. I wish I could turn off all shared content. The good stuff on facebook is people I personally know but see rarely - but that only takes a few minutes to catch up on and they need me to doomscroll for hours to make money.

You engauge with it, you must like it.

Except that as an attacker you can choose where to attack and prepare to be there faster than the defenders can get people there. so you can attack with 30 where they only have 5 defenders and be gone before reenforcements arrive since they don’t know where you will attack until you start.

military expert tell me the 3:1 ratio comes with a lot of asterisks and ukrain knows those as well.

if they can attack they should at it forces russia to defend their whole line. If they don’t attack russia can leave the line undefended and thus concentrate forces for their attacks.

that is a big if though as ukrain needs to defend their lines.

A little but the aerodynamits of shot will always be bad. A riifle will beat shot for range and accuracy. However for something moving that is close the in accuracy of shot improves your stastical odds of a hit.

Shotguns have a useful range of about 50 meters while these are short range, is that long enough?

Many cities try that. However it is very hard to pull that off when you have two way traffic, and busy cross streets make it worth. Two way traffic often means one direction has no cars, but the other does because the distance between lights is not something in control of the traffic engineers. And cross traffic means you need to handle the whole grid at once.

An Ambulance is expensive anywhere in the world. The only question is how do you hide the expensive. Most of the cost is having several vehicle with trained personal sitting around doing nothing just waiting for someone in need. If there is ever a time when there is one vehicle not ready to go but doing nothing you don’t have enough service for a potential worse disaster. Of course that means there is lots of room to hide the costs if you don’t want to tell the truth - which many do not.

An ambulance is a truck, and handles like one, they won’t be going as fast as a car on a two-lane mountain road - it isn’t possible to keep it on the road with perfect driving at speeds a small car can go. (an ambulance could be made smaller, but that is at the expensive of equipment they have inside so not a great compromise.)

Road engineers are happy to design streets to encourage higher speeds than is safe as well.

Sure, but they won’t spread to the majority of the population in 100 years.

It is up to congress to stop that not the courts. He should be impeached if he tries that.

So would I. Those in the military who are talking give me the impression they have done tests and while the results are classified (thus I don’t know what the truth is) they have counter measures (which again are classified so I don’t know what they might be)

Most of the planet was not accessable. It was there but your local population grew until the land couldn’t support more. There wasn’t much opportunity to move as the surronding villages had the same problem.

of course when a famon came you got a few generations of peace here and there

For most of history you would be better off if you could kill the next village over. You want to be friends with the people in your village, but if you kill the next one you can expand your farm/hunting/gathering grounds and then leave it to your kids - while otherwise you won’t have enough food for all the kids and your DNA is in danger of not getting passed on.

In our modern world we mostly have plenty of food (and when we don’t lack of land is not the issue), but that isn’t what our DNA is evolved to “think”
