Yeah, that blast wave out the muzzle in front of his face was not pleasant. I’ve seen it knock a rangefinder next to the barrel over several cm and rendered the electronics useless and that was a rifle with no muzzle-brake. Hearing loss and mild concussion or stun is my guess.

It hasn’t been resized. You’re seeing things.

That’s kind of the point. If you compare where the camera is in both pictures:

In the tank photo, based on that you can slightly see the top of the Tank Hull, and are looking down at the 2 service members right side that the camera is roughly in line with where the tank barrel joins with the turret. Photographer is likely standing on something, or using a tall tripod.

In the truck photo, you can see the top of the bike seat and the underside of the side mirror so the camera is roughly in line with the gas cap. Photographer is crouched.

Combine that change in height with the use of a shorter lens which quickly distorts the size (service members close and huge vs. dragged person on top of turret looks tiny) and you can see that it isn’t a truly fair comparison.

FTR I hate this pickup and agree with the sentiment of this photo, but I feel like there’s some skewed perspective tricks going on based on this manually photoshopped drag to relocate (no resizing of anything in photo) to demonstrate.

Context that seems to say this guy was sanctioned for white-collar crimes and corruption, but has pivoted to supporting Ukraine for a while now. Presumably to make amends and get the sanctions removed.

Yeah, this one’s a keeper. 🤣

That’s a very one-sided take on why the 2 bombs were dropped. Far more significant is that the Potsdam ultimatum had still not been publicly acknowledged let alone officially accepted and that Japanese resistance was significantly increasing every km closer the allies got to the Japanese mainland despite almost every city already being levelled due to prior bombing campaigns.

The Japanese government wasn’t working towards a ceasefire. It was split evenly for vs against surrender and the Hawks attempted a coup even after the bombs were dropped.

Saving American lives (and Japanese lives in the aggregate) was the foremost reason they were dropped. and fixating on tertiary bonus goals is disinformation when the whole situation is considered.

Invader deaths aren’t ‘needless’. They are necessary to force russia’s withdrawal. An unfortunate necessity to be clear, but every russian (and apparently north korean) casualty increases the safety of innocent civilians and defenders, and brings Ukraine closer to a righteous victory.

Article forgets to discuss how a removal of sanctions due to withdrawing would help alleviate the economic crisis.

Hitting em’ where it hurts.

They have it really bad over there. My understanding is most European countries would laugh at Canadian labour law, but Canada laughs at the US’s.

Depends on the Province I think. Where I’m at you’re entitled to 30 min off (unpaid) within the first 5 hours, and another within 8 if you’re working longer than 8 hours. 15 min breaks are not mandated except that if the company gives you them they must be paid.

I wish this was true so that there would be a hard limit to within this century, on how much ff related damage we will do.

Unfortunately, they are still finding more, particularly in the north. How much yet-to-be-proven oil still out there is what really should be considered along with technology improvements that increase how much oil can be effectively recovered.

proved reserves only represent the oil that a given region can theoretically extract based on the infrastructure it has planned or in place. This is only “the tip of the iceberg,” says Steven Grape, who works with proven oil reserves for the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
