I was shocked to find a particularly bad stretch near me to have had all of the potholes filled a while back.

Most of them came back after a month, but still, it was nice to not have to play dodgems on this stretch for a bit.

Also, anybody driven on the M48 eastbound between Newport and Bristol recently? Holy shit is it bad.

If all my neighbours had heatpumps installed the noise would drive me mad. I don't think my sanity would last due to lack of sleep.

Houses where i am are so close together.

_xDEADBEEF ,

All of them? Sure, some were clearly rattly old things with knackered bearings, but they are not silent and stick out like a sore thumb when they click on at night. However, in the daytime, they get drowned out by the general din of life.

But im sure I'll be told my experiences are wrong.

Fly by night cowboys always seem to pop up whenever there's a govt grant involved. Then several years down the line you get countless stories of botched installs ruining houses (cavity wall and loft insulation for example)

maybe i got lucky to somehow hear them over my tinnitus. and no, if you live around them long enough, its not just a fan spinning (which will get noisy over time when they get manky and imbalanced, which in turn causes secondary vibrations). personally, i prefer air to air heatpumps i had when i lived in nz. not the noisy bastards i put up with in sweden.

that said, despite my hearing loss and tinnitus, i can pick up on annoying sounds nobody notices until i point them out.

_xDEADBEEF ,

Maybe, but i never came across them.

_xDEADBEEF ,

The assassination of Shinzo Abe. Former prime minister of Japan.

In short, and I'm working on memory, the assassin killed Abe because Abe was very friendly with a religous cult. Said cult had brainwashed the assassins mother and made her penniless.

The problem I have with some vegans are that they tend to be sanctimonious, holier than thou, cunts.

_xDEADBEEF ,

Case in point.

_xDEADBEEF ,

Refer to above.

_xDEADBEEF ,

On that website it says its made in China by some 3rd party to that companies specification

_xDEADBEEF ,

yeah, i did have to dig around on the site to find it

_xDEADBEEF ,

Ukraine is under martial law which doesn't allow fighting age men to leave the country.

So, yeah.

Where you when himars was kill? 😥

Well, they finally got one.

_xDEADBEEF ,

i suspect they hit ammo stores (magazine). The drones seemed to all go for the same area.

Bunnyhop from supply hub to supply hub. Let the russians attrit to death.

_xDEADBEEF ,

My US employer acquired a Russian one from Leningrad (HOI4 brain rot. i forget the modern name) not long after the war started. The employees were told they could not stay there to stay employed.

Most went to Portugal. Others went to Finland, Turkey, Georgia, and Bosnia.

A couple didn't leave...and didn't get laid off until last Christmas.

_xDEADBEEF ,

Are they still uding them? I haven't heard anything about those since probably 2022

_xDEADBEEF ,

i guess unbroken kinda makes sense if you didn't die. but undefeated? they got their arses handed to them and that was it

_xDEADBEEF ,

Guarantee he wasn't the only one

_xDEADBEEF ,

Oh dear. The 155th again. Almost makes me feel sorry for them. Almost.

Russia begs China for loans as the Kremlin is running out of money for rainy days, analysts say ( charter97.org )

In almost 2 years of full-scale war, Russia has spent half the money from the National Welfare Fund (NWF), the main source of resources for a rainy day. At the end of 2023, almost 4 trillion rubles were spent from the National Welfare Fund, and now only 5 trillion remains in its so-called liquid part (savings in currency and...

_xDEADBEEF ,

We've seen T55s and ZIS-5s on the frontline. I wonder when get to see the first AN-2 in use.

_xDEADBEEF ,

i think it was some dressed up t54 (old movie prop, i guess) used as a decoy checkpoint.

_xDEADBEEF ,

They're clearly morally bankrupt. They'll do anything to not comply with the order if there's no money in it for them.

_xDEADBEEF ,

i'm worried for fentanyl hitting our shores.

_xDEADBEEF ,

ah, setting up the excuse already

find out what the list of medical exemptions are

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/uk-conscription-exemptions-certain-health-31973713

id imagine theyd get more lenient for conscripts though

_xDEADBEEF ,

your blown out knees are not service related

ive no idea about Ukraine's electrinic industry. Are they able to create everything apart from semiconductors or is it just assembly?

_xDEADBEEF , (edited )

i figured it was all pick n place (i used to work as an EE designing pcbs and was J-STD-001 certified as the stuff was prototype avionics id sometimes have to hand-solder the boards or inspect them) but i was more interested in Ukraines manufacturing capabilities.

Although its easier, now, to get stuff made elsewhere and assembled in Ukraine, it seems like they may want to get more self sufficient. Russia clearly has access to the same stuff Ukraine wants (from China). Perhaps assembling in-house is the start.

Republicans have literally/figuratively weaponised zero sum theory. "Whatever is bad for my enemies (Democrats) is good for me!"

_xDEADBEEF ,

psst, not everyone lives in the US

_xDEADBEEF ,

Rawnsley park...

I guess stabbing/shooting someone 100m away on Easton rd is no longer in vogue.

_xDEADBEEF ,

at this point, i wouldn't be surprised rusty SKSs and mosins are the CIWs.

_xDEADBEEF ,

yes, if you don't live under a rock

_xDEADBEEF ,

wait, which focus path should i be taking in hoi4?

_xDEADBEEF ,

do they maneuver these as fpv drones or via waypoint? i cant imagine how motion sick youd get piloting them. Maybe they use a mixture of both.

Guess where he worked from 2012 to 2018?

_xDEADBEEF ,

you might want to go back and actually find out where that 95bn is going instead of making things up

_xDEADBEEF OP ,

Don't forget the cost of disposal of expiring ammo, if not used on the range.

_xDEADBEEF OP ,

its the top post of r/ncd reposted. But sure... propaganda. You got me. 🙄

_xDEADBEEF OP ,

c/NCD?

_xDEADBEEF OP ,

i meant the c. What's that?

_xDEADBEEF OP ,

Ah, cheers. Didn't know there was one for here.

_xDEADBEEF OP ,

Im not the one to ask. I didn't know there's more than 1 lemmy ncd instance.
