I find it hard to believe that they will be receiving anyone larger than a glorified PT boat. Certainly nothing larger than a frigate.

Of which there are plenty of that class up and down the Danube.

There are other ways into the Black Sea…

Edit: rather than just downvoting, why not consider that the Danube exists and is plenty of patrol boats/frigates based up and down it by Ukraine friendly nations.

It’s exciting for someone. And it’s not the end user.

Have you been paying attention in the past 5 years?

Awww how sad.

It isn’t mutually exclusive.

Israel has been terrorising Palestinians and HAMAS has also be terrorising Israelis.

What are you talking about?

Both can be true. That Israel has been terrorising Palestinians, and that HAMAS is terrorising Israel.

It’s okay. I’ll take that x7.

Not because I like them, or even see the point with SUVs.

But it’ll be nice to sit in the oppulence for a couple of minutes before I sell it.

Pfft. Sounds like free cars to me.

Would have been nice if they had left the keys…I think I would have considered it if I knew I wasn’t coming back. But those all look like they were driven by the rich.

Hopefully the local authority do something interesting with them when they get ownership. Donating Ukraine for example. I’d imagine that even if they are too difficult to get keys for they, the more common/utilitarian vehicles can break for important spares.

That said, I’m sure then cars pictured are likely indicative of the whole range that has been left, so probably not.

This didn’t happen before their sons, brothers, fathers, friends, boyfriends and husbands starting coming back missing body parts, with PTSD, dead or not even at all.

Then suddenly explosives started falling out the sky on your doorstep after the above started happening and Ukrainian flags started randomly popping up places.

I know it won’t convince all, propaganda is strong with the uneducated and those the regime directly made. But there are plenty who aren’t thick or have any particular loyalty to Putin.

That can be said about any app.

I’ll be curious to see how much of an impact this has really made when someone gets around to publishing the metrics.

I would like to hope that Reddit has take a significant traffic hit due this whole API bullshit, but I honestly wouldn’t be all suprised if it was less than 10%.

But we will wait and see.

For the most part I think that they’re all entirely nonsense and based around people searching for something that simply isn’t there.

At the end of the video Lemmino spends some time talking about these, saying that they’re just not credible based on so many factors. And for that I entirely agree. However he doesn’t talk about the weird behaviour of the Secret Service following the event.

Now all of that could be down to Secret Service corruption, incompetence, secrecy etc etc, but it could also just as likely be on purpose.

I’m a big believer in Occam’s Razor, that the simplest thing is probably what happened. As we all know the events, I fully believe that Oswald did what he did entirely as described in the video, but there are is also interesting ‘evidence’ that suggests that maybe one of Kenney’s Secret Service detail may have unintentionally shot Kennedy in the back of the head in the chaos of everything and upon realising this, the Secret Service obviously decided to try and (successfully) cover it up.

Again, I fully recognise this theory as a conspiracy, but for me, based on what (admittedly small amount) I’ve seen on the matter this is the most credible. Because it’s the simplest answer. Only being trumped by the simpler answer that everything happened as described.

The amount of effort and research that Lemmino puts into his videos are epic.

I can honestly believe that the amount of time between videos is entirely the length of time it takes to create one of his videos.

For anyone who hasn’t heard of this youtuber I would strongly recommend his video on Jack the Ripper and the video on the origins of the ‘Superman S’. The latter of which I think is the genesis of his passion for these long form deeply researched videos.

He has come such a long way from his roots as a bit of generic ‘Top 10’ lists creator to where he has come. Phenomenal development of skills and style.

I think my criticisms on this video, if I was to be picky, would be that he perhaps could have touched on some of the more credible ‘conspiracies’ surrounding and following the event. But I appreciate the length of the video was already nearly 2hours just in the details surrounding Oswald at the time. Maybe he’s got another video planned regarding this, after all he has touched on speculation before on the Jack the Ripper video.

Close to 13 years, if not just over. Started as a lurker. Then saw something that I felt that I really needed to share my thoughts on. Of course it was just a mumble in a crowd, but it obviously meant enough to me to go through the effort of making an account.

I can’t even remember what it was.

Over 100k karma and 3000 comments.

Reddit was by no means small in 2010, I don’t claim to be a pioneer, but it was a different feeling place. Even back then RES was a must for desktop browsing. And 3rd party apps were the only option for mobile browsing. BaconReader was my choice. I think it was actually the first app I ever paid for.

Over time I tried different apps that were being developed and tried to bring a new thing to the table, such as card view (couldn’t ever get away with that) or recently the ability to see deleted/removed comments (until Reddit started blocking certain API stuff that allowed that). Rather poetically found myself back on Baconreader just in time for the shutdown.

I don’t think Lemmy necessarily feels the same as Reddit back then, but I wonder if that is more due to me changing and the communities that I follow, but it is scratching the itch of something to browse and occupy my mind, discover new information and feel like I’m among similar people when I’m procrastinating, shitting or something else.

Just to move away from the article, I want to make a comment about the car itself.

Over the 2010s, the SUVs were really at the point where they all looked like totally generic boring blobs. Just an shape. Souless and dull. All the same. You’d really struggle to pick a stand out one out of a line up of Vauxhall, Citroen, Ford, Kia, Hyundai, VW etc. There of course was some brands like Porsche, BMW and Audi which were different, but they were genuine evolutions of an already pretty timeless and classic look.

Then Ford and Hyundai came to the table with some absolutely great striking and honestly futuristic designs to kick off their EV range a couple of years ago with the 2020 F-series and Tucsons respectively and by extension the IONIQ ranges. Not to mention the absolute beauty of the Rivian.

And now everyone is doing the same. Rather than look to find an individual and unique design language, everyone copies the pioneer (most times). With the rare exception of the marques who have the confidence to go their own way (a-la BMW, Porsche, Volvo).

Anyway, there’s my totally off topic 2p on the matter.

this is the summary of 60% of reddit now

Likely because that’s who is left on the platfrom. 60% who actively don’t care, and the other 40% who either haven’t realised what’s happening or have no idea what’s going on.

Yes. I am a user of Strava. But many aren’t, so rather than get bogged down in an explanation of the semantics, I wrote what I wrote.

Since functionally it is identical and any difference irrelevant.

Wait until you hear that Budanov liked his Strava post.
