After few years of nothing particularly happening in Syria, SDF and SNA/HTS got a truce and advanced like 45km against SAA, taking Aleppo in three days and stopping only just before Hama. Now we also have HTS, who have Turkish support, encircling Kurdish area near Tal Rifat, and just today (news from last hour) they negotiated that Kurds from this area can go unimpeded to Rojava. This all while Assad sat in Moscow until today, and according to rumors his family is abroad still.
As of yesterday, large scale war crimes hasn't happened yet, and civilians were relatively spared too, with only reports of police (on SAA side) shooting protesters in Damascus and civilian casualties from Russian bombing (requested by SAA). Today however, it looks like HTS will try to forcefully resettle Kurds from Tal Rifat enclave, and just because Assad gets weaker doesn't mean that things will get better because HTS are islamists, with many coming from jihadist groups specifically
if you looked up temperatures needed for aluminum electrolysis,
and then you have to deliver electricity to it, keep it isolated electrically, thermally, chemically (kept sealed), and how do you even make plastics without steel reactors
electrowinning is a process but it won't work for aluminium. also you all completely ignore glass as a material and ceramics generally
i need to howl. that stuff is a catalyst and i need it to stay dissolved, but now it won't. depending on how badly things will go, it might be impossible for everyone forever to replicate my old results
now i want to see DoD paintings (Pollock was funded by CIA)
