Some have theorized the tires disrupt object recognition in aerial imagery analysis (and possibly munitions or drone targeting). Obviously that didn’t work here as the targets were already known and visually confirmed.

Dildo-as-a-Service

This is correct. There are several state appeals court cases working through their respective processes. I hope they result in a case that gets all state rifle bans and magazine restrictions invalidated forever, but as usual it takes mere minutes for restrictions to be put in, and decades for them to be judicially removed.

Side note -

I literally have the reader pictured in the thumbnail. It is a Kindle keyboard from 10+ years ago at this point. It still works fine. At one point the original battery went to shit, and it cost very little to get an aftermarket replacement and install it myself.

I keep it offline and read 100% sideloaded .epub books from various sources. The lockscreen ads don’t even try to display anymore.

Sure it isn’t backlit or waterproof but it still functions flawlessly as a generic reader. Old tech like this is awesome. Why not get a decade of use (or more) out of something that still works?

Practically not that much, but the point is to inflict huge monetary costs and erode public support among Russians to continue the conflict. So from that perspective this is a pretty good bargaining chip going into further negotiations.

WTF is wrong with people.
