Russia-Ukraine Invasion
Ukrainian electric motorbike company Delfast has seen its electric bikes used for some vastly diverse tasks, such as breaking Guinness World Records and outfitting Mexican police. But their latest use is perhaps the bikes’ most important mission yet: helping Ukrainian soldiers strike a David vs. Goliath blow against Russia’s barbaric invasion of their country.

- They didn't got a great job destroying that thing.formed
- IIRC it was "blow it up and haul ass" situation. It's kind of amazing that they've managed to keep it under wraps / obfuscate the facts for so long.garbage
- Likely a pimped-to-death Blackhawk. Scarier tech involved in the attack would be the Sentinel drone that was tailing them..garbage
- ..which is a Skunkworks UAV responsible for UFO sightings around the world, and only publicly acknowledged because we crashed one in Iran and didn't destroy it.garbage
- Iran now has their own clone of the Sentinel, and has used it in conflict. Those helis though.. they've stayed under wraps.garbage

Russia-Ukraine Invasion
This is such an arresting photo. Beautiful in some ways and immediately tragic. The contrast of the helicopter and the village that looks undamaged, the blue sky and clouds. It's powerful.
- The photos I'm finding interesting are the wide [literal-] field pans with hundreds of artillery craters from onanistic Russian overkillNairn
- Some of thie shit looks like WWI in colour.Nairn
- when you think about the journey all those elements took, from mine, to smelter, manufacturer, shipping, etc - then decayed back to earth.shapesalad

It's my day off, woke up groggy and exhausted. Spent 3 hours trying to gather momentum to do something constructive with my day.
When making scrambled eggs for lunch, i cracked one of the eggs directly into the garbage because of being tired and distracted. Afterwards, I accepted that this day would consist of doing nothing, and made my peace with it.

- This is one of my favourite vengeance films. It was intense and utterly stupid in places, but still entertaining as hell!Ianbolton
- It was greatprophetone
- +1 it certainly was. Nicole Kidman was the odd part for me.MrT
- 7/10 for me I think, good but not amazing. And I agree, interesting/odd role for Kidman.BuddhaHat
- Great visuals, but the story was meh as fuck and the accent was annoying. A tad too long as well. The Revenant was much more digestible.babydick_
- I liked it, second half of if way more than the first. A good Inigo Montoya flick, but had some silly moments as well. Visually top notch.rzu-rzu

Elon Musk
What a fuckwit...the bloke is fast becoming a parody of himself. Anyone that says Democrats have become the party of hate and "as a result I will vote Republican" has serious issues.
Stick to cars and rockets pal...most don't give a fuck what you think about anything else.

recommend tv series
Watched 5 episodes of Better Called Saul so far and I'm enjoying it.
But I think the last season of Ozark and the way it ended are somehow creating a barrier to enjoy it even more. I don't feel I can really get inside as apathy is still my mood, maybe the second half will break me.
Still, really good.
And True Story, well someone wrote paint-by-number and I do get it but I really liked it. Snipes is really good and credit to Kevin Hart in his first drama role. I thought it was not easy to forget the fact that he's a comedian but for me, he does a great job and deserves to be acknowledged for that. And lets not forget it's a mini-series so not bad at all.
- terrible writing sorry, only had one coffee today.oey_oey
- BCS gets deep with unusual and beautifully written characters. I didn't expect much and absolutely loved it. Keep going!spl33nidoru
- Sorry, 5 episodes of the last season. I totally love the show.oey_oey
- Nacho’s last episode was a masterpiece. But it’s been a bit of a slo-burn since. Just waiting for Lao to strike.Morning_star

Success!!!!!
THE KITCHEN DRAIN SAGA IS FUCKING OVER!!!!
Stubborn cunt that I am, I couldn't accept that:
1) This seemingly simple problem was unsolvable;
2) I'd have to shell out minimum 250 € to have someone fix it for me.So, I brought it back to basics.
No Draino.
No plumber's snake.
No calling the professionals.I re-drained the pipes under the sink into a large bucket (and not, as I did yesterday, into a stock pot, which was clearly unfit for purpose), plugged up the P-trap, connected the hose back to the wall, and dumped half a box of sodium bicarbonate in the drain, shoving every last grain of the stuff in there with a chopstick.
Then I topped that up with about half a litre of white vinegar, and plugged the sink before too much of the mixture overflowed into the sink. My idea was to trap all that in there, hoping that — seeing its upward route of escape blocked — it would snake down into the pipe behind the wall.
Fifteen minutes later, I remove the plug from the sink. The effervescence had subsided, but the vinegar level was more or less the same.
Undeterred, I topped it up with a bit of boiling water, so that it could pool a bit in the sink, and busted out the plunger.
Remembering what I was told in the notes yesterday about blocking the secondary drain, I held a wet cloth to it with one hand, and starting pumping with the other.
Not too vigorously or rapidly. But certainly with intent.
Paying special attention to the suction part, more so than the compressing down-stroke.
Six pumps. Seven pumps. Fifteen pumps. Twenty pumps.
Gurgle.
Sputter.
Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-gl...And, just like that, the sink drained like a champ.
I boiled a full 1.7 litre kettle of water, and poured it in. All gone.
Ran the water from the tap for about 15 seconds. Like nothing ever happened.
As one might expect, I'm feeling pretty relieved. And not just a little proud of myself.
Now. I've got dishes to do.
- Sigh.
'Signs you're getting old'
This sort of shit is fucking mattering to me.Continuity - Bravo! Now, stop keeping all your semen in jars and emptying them out in one go every 8 months.Nairn
- *golf clapspango
- @Nairn ... wot? What else should I be doing with it??Continuity
- ah man - yes you got to block the 2nd drain! of course, else all the pumping just pushes air out of there. Next time you'll have it fixed in 1min now you know.shapesalad
- ^ it's THE critical part to all this.shapesalad
- Wait.. you didn't block the overflow when you were plunging?Nairn
- The first time? Err ... no ...Continuity
- Ah yes, reminds me of my first timedrgs
