There has never been a shortage of quality equipment for elite units but in the early stages of the conscription people where issued everything stored in bunkers and depots at hand including personal weapons from late WWII/early Cold War.

And if you look at confirmed vehicle losses there is a clear trend towards older and older albeit to various degrees modernized platforms. So yeah, Russia IS running out of modern weapons for the average unit in the field.

The issue at hand though is the longer the conflict draggs on the more Russia is able to adapt. Evading sanctions by laundering oil in India. Importing vital electronic components through China. And now securing more ammo in North Korea. Which btw the west is doing in South Korea and other places around the world as well.

The amount of artillery shells being used is astronomical. Paired with a low production capacity in the west as a baseline, it is not unimaginable that the ongoing demand outweighs production.

Klamotten flicken (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Hallo miteinander, Ich bin jetzt in dem Alter angekommen, in dem die seit Jahren bzw. sogar schon Jahrzehnten liebgewonnen Kleidungsstücke anfangen auseinanderzufallen.

Da meine Uroma, die sogar pflichtbewusst sämtliche Löcher der Rocker-Jeans meines Vaters gestopft hat, nicht mehr unter uns weilt, meine eine Oma handwerklich völlig unbegabt ist und die andere im Seniorenheim "Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht" singt (scheint nach dem letzten Schlaganfall in Dauerschleifen in ihrem Kopf zu laufen), habe ich in meinem direkten Umfeld leider keine Experten, die ich fragen könnte, wie man Löcher, Risse etc. flickt.

Daher meine Frage an die Schwarmintelligenz:

Kennt ihr Bücher, Guides, Youtuber, etc. die sich mit dem Thema Klamotten flicken beschäftigen?

Could as well be Orban trying to look cool to younger folks.

Who was the US Republican die-hard neo-lib Senator again, who claimed to love Rage Against The Machine?

Isn't it a long-standing theory that at some point the whole magnetic field of earth might flip polarity, just like the sun's does?

Except these bacteria are nothing new.

In a voting system such as the US its the natural outcome that you vote against the guy you don't want but not for the person you want.

CGP Grey did a fantastic video series on YouTube about different systems for voting.

Well, I DO know how the French count and compared to English it IS highly confusing. You can hardly convince me that saying "Four times twenty and ten" is as straight forward as saying "Nine tens".

And just to be clear: I'm not some Yankee or Brit with a superiority complex, no, I am German, and we have our own shitty version of this: Instead of moving along the digits from highest to lowest, as in "Four hundreds and two tens and nine", we do "Four hundred and nine and two tens".

I guess we can blame the French's confusing number system for that.
