Nah, not like you are falling on rocks. I carry my phone like almost everyone does.

It doesn't excuse the shoddy lift patrolling, though.

For sure they use it for war purposes.

They sure as fuck aren't using it for climate research. They dgaf about climate.

Ed: hack was maybe part of a bigger defense strike: https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/01/27/ukrainian-cyberattacks-cripple-russian-defense-contractor-weather-center/

Nope, I agree that AJ article is well written and on point.

My feeling about AJ is they seem to have a background editorial agenda in general.

And that's plenty ok, IMO. Just good to keep in mind.

Nicely cited. Didn't even need the snarky jab chaser lol.

He's not very wrong about Al Jazeera's editorial bent.

Yea the staff was in on it too.

Surmising they knocked the moms out with anesthesia, delivered and abducted the infants. When the moms woke up they were told the babies died.

Adoption cost was half a year's salary, so there was a lot of money involved.

Wow. Organized crime is so deep in the former Soviet culture.

MOSCOW, Jan 26 (Reuters) - • This content was produced in Russia where the law restricts coverage of Russian military operations in Ukraine

More than a dozen tankers loaded with 10 million barrels of Russia's Sokol grade crude oil have been stranded off the coast of South Korea for weeks, so far unsold due to U.S. sanctions and payment issues, according to two traders and shipping data. The volumes, equating to 1.3 million metric tons, represent more than a month's production of the Sakhalin-1 project, once a flagship venture of U.S. major Exxon Mobil, which exited Russia after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Sakhalin-1 was one of the first post-Soviet deals in Russia made under a production sharing agreement. When Exxon Mobil left in 2022, output fell to nearly zero and hasn't fully recovered since. Difficulties in selling Sokol grade pose one of the most significant challenges Moscow has faced since the West imposed sanctions and one of the most serious disruptions to Russian oil exports in two years.

Washington has said it wants sanctions to reduce revenues for President Vladimir Putin and his war machine in Ukraine but not to disrupt the flows of Russian energy to global markets.

Last year, the United States imposed sanctions on several vessels and companies involved in transporting Sokol.

As of Friday, 14 vessels loaded with Sokol were stuck around South Korea's port of Yosu, including 11 Aframax vessels and three very large crude carriers (VLCCs), according to LSEG, Kpler data and traders. The volume stored in tankers represent 45 days of production from Sakhalin-1, which averages output of 220,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Supertankers (VLCCs) La Balena, Nireta and Nellis with some 3.2 million barrels onboard (430,000 metric tons), currently near South Korea's Yosu, are acting as a floating storage for the Russian oil grade, Reuters sources said and Kpler and LSEG shipping data show.

The VLCCs previously accepted oil from several Aframax vessels via ship-to-ship, the data showed. Supplying oil volumes from smaller ships to bigger ones can save on freight.

The rest of the Sokol oil loaded from November to January is stored on smaller Aframax vessels (able to carry 500,000-800,000 barrels) - Krymsk, NS Commander, Sakhalin Island, Liteyny Prospect, NS Century, NS Lion, NS Antarctic, Jaguar, Vostochny Prospect, Pavel Chernysh and Viktor Titov.

Shipments of Sokol to the Indian Oil Corp (IOC.NS) have been delayed by payment problems, forcing India's biggest refiner to draw from its inventories and buy more oil from the Middle East.

A source close to IOC said the company did not expect to receive any Sokol shipments soon due to a disagreement over which currency would be used to pay for it. IOC is the only state refiner that has an annual deal to buy a variety of Russian grades, including Sokol, from Russian oil major Rosneft (ROSN.MM)

Probably depends on the amount of air pressure generated. Then any throttled venturi opening will increase the velocity through it.

Which is to say, closing the lid could make it shoot farther through the opening.

But that would also direct it horizontally vs vertically, which is probably preferred.

If Russia 'leaked' it was carrying missiles it would seem to be a mole uncovering operation with a bonus PR angle and mass slaughter event for them.

Ruthless fuckers.

It's not Earl Gay enough

RAT's have a high false negative rate so unsurprising result

Judge needs to order PCR tests

Preconditioning only gets it ready for charging. It does almost nothing for driving except to allow the regen to work.

Lithium delivers fine below freezing, but it needs to be above freezing to accept a charge.

When you preconditioned at work for 2 hours all it did was waste battery.

XC trips when you put a supercharger as destination, it will automatically precondition to get ready to charge. And preconditioning takes away from your range.

VGER

More like too honest to stoop to that level of deplorable

Funny, but you basically made the point yourself. Look at the sources.

I'll put the under-over at 250M

Not even counting that he's acting like a spoiled cunt during the proceedings, in full display to the jury

So more like $400M

Yep I'm using adguard but heard they have new owners of unknown security accountability

Good point but they are already here and taking up resources.

Let's give them something productive to do to pull their weight and fix some of the terrible existential issues the world is facing.

Get out and plant some trees for example.

Is there a free DNS from Controld.com I can just put in my network settings?

I only saw the paid option. - thx
