Ukraine: Russian Invasion

[Candy Crush]

In most civilized countries, even in the US, it's much much easier to buy guns, or a 20 ton truck (to drive into crowds) than to get or make explosives.
That is probably the only real barrier to seing these kinds of attacks.

There are a lot of chemical compounds in general stores that can be transformed into explosives, if you have the necessary knowledge. Breivik bombed downtown Oslo with a mix of feriliser and diesel.
We are just lucky that school is no longer taught the way it used to be, my son told me that the periodic table of elements is no longer taught at school. But we're getting dumber. Who knew that LPG is heavier than air, unlike natural gas and tends to settle in low spots?

Good thing we aren't teaching the periodic table, wouldn't want the kids purifying cesium and using it for bombs.

My fear is for nuclear reactor build in garage:

The hard part about building a nuclear reactor isn't the building part, it is getting the fissionable materials. And a such thing has actually once been done as a part of a scavenger hunt (for some definitions of nuclear reactor) https://mag.uchicago.edu/science-med...reeder-reactor

That message includes a link literally labeled "Watch on YouTube". Clicking on that link works fine for me.

This time it's not region blocking, like with movie trailers, but preventing to play on external sites ("blocked it from display on this website or application").

Dafuq!
Well at least its still a thing in this country

So many drones are in the air at once that they're colliding with each other:

"It’s not that the Ukrainian drone operators have given up. Over the contested town of Vuhledar in southern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast, as many as 20 small drones at a time—Russian and Ukrainian—crisscross the sky, Voroshnov said. “It's like a crossroads in India!” Collisions are common, he claimed."

They'll be dogfighting in another few months. Drones are a better analogy to WWI, than trench warfare is.

Another huge drone strike by Ukraine.
3 air fields hit.

In Pskov 4x Ilyushin 76 transport planes + fuel storage destroyed.
Still too early to know full range of damage.

Bryansk base is burning. No further info.

Tula base, no info.

[Candy Crush]

Barrage balloons would be amazing!

Most reliable cover so far

That's wrong btw. They don't force kids to memorize it anymore. It is definitely taught in regards to what it means and how to read it. Source: I am a teacher in the same country as Candy. I may not teach Chemistry, but I listen to my students bitch about having to study for their tests.

Edit: Candy, before you reply saying I am wrong, here is the Lehrplan for Berlin, check page 32 for details on what the basics are.

Other states will have similar requirements.

So far, 6x IL-76 planes have been seen with damages from Tuesday/Wednesday attack.

And yesterday, UAF broke through 2nd defensive lines, towards Verbove.
Once passed the mine fields, they are gaining real pace.

he leveled up in being mad

This is the most important news, when you check the map you will see 2 very long russian trench lines lining up horizontal. That means when Ukraine get behind those lines they roll them up from the side.
Verbove is in the direction of Chernihivka, a city with a 4way railroad junction. Although Tokamak is way closer, Chernihivka isn't as much fortified.

Everybody is focusing so much on Tokmak. It will only be a reversed Bakhmut.
Better to siege it, while the forces steam roll SE for Berediansk.

Isnt that the plan (according to the Secretary of Armchair Generalité at least)? Get fire superiority/coverage over Tokmak area and move on "some other place".

The Young Sheldon's episode was making fun of how easily David Hahn was able to get uranium from overseas and how he contacted the NRC and they told him how to do it.

From what I understood getting the Am-241 from smoke detectors was only the first step. To reach a critical mass and therefore have a self-sustaining reaction, you'd need about 60 kilograms, and you'd need to get several million smoke detectors to accumulate that much. Plus, it's almost exclusively alpha particle decay, which isn't what you need to generate electricity.
