Russia has depleted its tank stocks: the industry is not covering combat losses in c/[email protected]

From my very limited understanding that's kinda what they tried with the BMD lineup. Problem is because they're for airborne use they end up too light to protect anything, and loaded with ATGMs, a 100mm cannon, and a 30mm for squirting lighter targets. Basically on first hit it goes up like a Christmas tree lol

I too made a variation of this recipe. Long day yesterday and put the new Dutch oven from Christmas on the stove to heat up some oil.

Apparently there was a sticker on the bottom, nice smell.

What country are you located in? If you're actually interested I could do a reship, but I also understand if you're not as interested given I'm just a random dude on Lemmy :)

A Thank You to this Community (and another question!) in c/[email protected]

After discussing these concerns with the vet we decided to move forward, she's in this morning. The kittens were one of the main driving points behind making this decision, thank you!

A Thank You to this Community (and another question!) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Obligatory follow up since you are all amazing

Meet Nye!

I want to start this post out with a thanks to all of you from this community for the reassurance and advice, had I never came here I would have never met this wonderful kitten!

We adopted her at an estimated age of over a year. We confirmed with the provided documentation that she had all the necessary vaccinations and were assured all of their adoptees were spayed. Since then she has slipped right into routine, we're coming up on three weeks now and from what I consider she's part of the family now.

Actual question

Today she was exhibiting very interesting behavior, meowing constantly, rolling around and rubbing up against everything, and sticking her butt up in the air. We reached out to the humane society we had adopted her from and they marked her as spayed but upon further inspection noted her intake didn't state if she had been already or not.

Now for the question, to spay or not? She is handling it well, exceptionally affectionate and a bit needy but okay otherwise, at least relative to what we hear from others. She's an indoor cat, so pregnancy isn't a concern, but apart from that what are the reasons for or against taking her to be spayed?

We are in the minority, its pushed so much because it works.

There are some people who are outright influenced, but other times even shoving visuals at the user is enough to subliminally influence to a degree, advertising is all psychology.

That's why when I remember this when considering compromising and using something with ads. Its never worth the sacrifice, starting to apply the same philosophy to services who subsidize their cost of operating using data. Sure it costs me more but realistically that's how it should be, there's no free lunch.

Tbh maybe it's just me but I miss combat videos like these, reminiscent of the middle east where one guy operates the TOW and another films. Most footage coming out nowadays is laden with loud music which takes away a lot from the gravity of the situation. Especially FPVs, shows how cheap a human life can really be, and how boring it can be to take one.

Rant over, otherwise great shots by him, probably stunted the advance completely. As always it's sad to see so many lives wasted for infinitesimal gains.

Looking to Adopt - Advice Pls :) (sh.itjust.works)
 

My partner and I are recent graduates, and are looking to adopt. I've only lived with a dog briefly and them a cat, so I don't have insight but I'm not opposed. Casting a wide net as I'm the one lacking confidence here, their gung-ho ;~;

Old versus Young? Do breeds determine personality? Behavioral red flags? I know all floofs deserve a chance at love but we're fresh faced parents.

Anything helps, thanks all!

What's your job? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same here! Controls engineer with software background and BA in ChemE, just in the misguided company part of the growth spectrum, 3 years in.. Etc description all matches.

At a fork here though deciding whether I move to a bigger company (PENA) as a Sr or start my contracting life.

Too early to go mobile? How was the travel, I'm being offered lucrative contracts for 5-6 months at a time, but away from my partner. Talking with them and still thinking it over, but if you have any insight I would appreciate it. :)

YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I know, right? Let me help you out with that.

A ton is 907 kg approximately, and the weight of a cup of blueberries, while varying, is around 148 g or 0.148 kg.

That means the above recipe calls for around 6128 cups of blueberries. And at 3.6 g per cup of blueberries that's ~22000 g of fiber or 628 times your recommended daily intake for men, or 880 for women!

Searching for the best Steam Cleaner! (sh.itjust.works)
 

Currently only have experience with a cheap Shark steam mop that pulls double duty for walls, but the capabilities are impressive!

We're looking for something more versatile, nooks and crannies are difficult, and the steam mop can't be lifted past a certain point or gravity becomes a problem.

Any recommendations for something more professional and long term? Thank you ahead of time <3

Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Anecdotal, but when I was just messing with qBittorrent and its search feature, I found some ROM sets just by searching for system and sorting by size. This torrent for example is not necessarily comprehensive but contains a lot of roms of which can be shared with friends and family :)

I've been searching for a solution to this exact problem. My partner sends links occasionally and I always ignore because of how the web interface is blatantly hostile. Tried routing the links through MPV on android but no dice.

If anyone has a solution please share.

What's up with this tree? (sh.itjust.works)
 

My friends had me over and this poor tree looked to have fluid coming out of a very old wound. They say it was like that long before they arrived, is there anything they can do for the tree? Hate to think its been like this for years :(

Quickly Disconnecting Bluetooth Controller (sh.itjust.works)
 

Just wanted to share something I did, still very amateur when it comes to bash, but I wrote a script to disconnect bluetooth controllers after I close my emulator. I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but this is my way of coping having lost DS4Windows PS+Options quick disconnect-

#!/bin/bash

# Run Retroarch flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch

# Disconnect Controller after Quitting bluetoothctl disconnect 40:1B:5F:C9:94:2C

Just wanted to share as either my search games is weak, or there really isn't anything out there this straightforward.

Next up, trying to set up antimicrox to enable the same feature... :)

In what ways are people today being convinced to spend money beyond their means? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's important to note that when you buy liquid detergent (or liquid anything in most cases) you're paying for both product and water. In most cases buying powder instead can lead to a lower 'cost per load'. At Costco I have to admit the difference is only ~$0.01-$0.02 per load, so it equates to $8 over a few months anyway.

That small value delta could ostensibly be argued as convenience fee but I still order powder on principal.

Ideas for Stocking a Yummy Snack Drawer (sh.itjust.works)
 

Just wanted some recommendations for salty snack foods for a grab and go drawer for my partner. My partner has trouble going up and down stairs often and needs a lot of salt in her diet so I was thinking some homemade beef jerky and trail mix with salted nuts. Surely there's a ton of great options out there!

TL;DR

Please share your go to homemade salty snack so I can stock a snack drawer for my partner :)
