  • Russia used and then decapitated a fashy private military company, Ukraine hails their Nazis as national heroes and incorporated them into their government and military. I believe the claim was that Russia has a bigger Nazi problem. It should be no problem to find a mass of evidence of this - after all, Nazi symbols pop up constantly on photos of Ukrainian soldiers, yet when you ask about Russian Nazis you just get the same couple pictures again and again. Is the Rusisch group really comparable at all to Azov?


  • If Russia has a bigger nazi problem, why is it Ukrainian soldiers who keep getting caught wearing nazi symbols? If Russia had a bigger nazi problem, I’d expect to see an absolute flood of pics of Russian soldiers wearing black suns, but we don’t. Where’s the equivalent of former Ukrainian president Poroshenko wearing a nazi patch, or the idolization of Bandera?


  • Shelter services being run through half a dozen different agencies, each with their own overhead and inconsistent policies and levels of service. It sucks as a shelter worker, must suck even more as a houseless person trying to receive services.

    Also the site in the picture is nightmarish. I’ve worked at some pretty nice outside shelters/tinyhome villages, but that looks like it combines all the worst parts of living outside and living in a congregate shelter.

    (we should just give people homes, of course)




  • Solid propellants come in two main types. “Composites” are composed mostly of a mixture of granules of solid oxidizer, such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium dinitramide, ammonium perchlorate, or potassium nitrate in a polymer binding agent, with flakes or powders of energetic fuel compounds (examples: RDX, HMX, aluminium, beryllium). Plasticizers, stabilizers, and/or burn rate modifiers (iron oxide, copper oxide) can also be added.

    Single-, double-, or triple-bases (depending on the number of primary ingredients) are homogeneous mixtures of one to three primary ingredients. These primary ingredients must include fuel and oxidizer and often also include binders and plasticizers. All components are macroscopically indistinguishable and often blended as liquids and cured in a single batch. Ingredients can often have multiple roles. For example, RDX is both a fuel and oxidizer while nitrocellulose is a fuel, oxidizer, and structural polymer.

    So like those little model rockets, but much bigger and more efficient.

    BG3 doesn’t do sliders, you choose from a bunch of preset faces, hair, etc. It’s decent with diversity though. Lots of good hair options, black/latino/asian faces, my partner and I were able to make characters that were basically “what if us, but hot?”

    Also, genital options.
