Sure, but you are a trained shooter.

There are those who says we must allow him to save his face so maybe aim in the chest?

Interesting article on a possible area of Russian competence...Electronic Warfare (EW) against drones. The source of this article (Forbes) has been pretty pro-Ukraine, so this is not an idle Russian fan-boy rant.

As a very old cold warrior, and S-2 wannabe, who studied Soviet Army TO&Es till I was sick of them, I remember that EW was a big emphasis for the Soviets. So I was surprised to see what looked like so many missteps early in the war. In the early part of the war, it seemed like the Russians had completely let their EW capability waste away. The article somewhat explains why it appeared that way.

Anyway, the article has some interesting thoughts and observations.

The former PM and president Medvedev with a rather dim view on 2023:

https://twitter.com/MedvedevRussiaE/status/1607487338401206273

US and EU civil wars, stock markets defaulting and moving to Asia, oil and gas price sky rocketing. And that's just the beginning.

All this after his fuehrer launches his next operation called Wacht am Dnepr. <-This last tweet didn't load for me but it must've been there. <:-)

QuoteSeason greetings to you all, Anglo-Saxon friends, and their happily oinking piglets!

Season's Greetings to you too, Dim One, may you freeze in russian hell (as the old Soviet joke says).

They are truly spiralling towards madness, this messaging is for their own citizen of course  :(

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
