That’s not really what the book says.

Yes, it literally is.

Chapter 9.29 and 30
When the soldiers stand leaning on their spears, they are faint from want of food
If those who are sent to draw water begin by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst

logistics are really hard and must not be overlooked

Chapter 2.9
Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy. Thus the army will have food enough for its needs

The entire Art of War can be printed on 4 pages of A4 paper if you remove all the fancy layout that usually goes into the book to pad it to something over 50.

Oh yeah, AI can easily replace all the jobs I don’t understand too!

If you don’t want to gamble just invest in ETFs every month and you will be fine.

I mean, that’s still gambling. If you invest in a world-wide, well-spread, low-cost ETF, you’re essentially betting that the worldwide economy will grow faster than inflation+costs.

That’s a pretty safe bet, but still a bet.

Well, if it went up an infinite amount, then yes. In reality, that’s pretty unlikely

I mean, a moderately solid brick building would have stopped this attack. Not even a hardened shelter, just a garage would have worked.

Does this just clip around the upper ear, or does it require a pierced hole?

I have been emailing this guy for two weeks and getting nothing. I have been including his manager on the emails, still getting nothing

Sounds like it stopped being your problem then.

It’s more than just losing planes.

It’s logistical. There are already video after video of russian trucks being carefully searched by hand to prevent this happening again.

It’s also moral. The russian people have always considered the “inland” areas as perfectly safe. This is a huge blow to that idea.

It’s also more of a strain on the planes. these planes are 50 years old, and have a limited remaining lifespan. Wear and tear can be spread out across the fleet, and if your fleet is reduced in size (and these were all the “good” planes, since they were sitting fueled on the tarmac) you need to put more hours on a smaller number of planes, meaning they’ll wear out faster.

And it might be strategic. Russia was keeping planes fueled and ready, so they could take off any time radar detected incoming missiles or long-range drones (which happened a LOT in the early times of the war). This is showing Russia that that simply leaves your planes more vulnerable to sneak attacks like this.

VTOL baby, no copeslopes here

You got a loisence for that dronestrike?

This is absolutely the best non-comedy Lesley Nielsen movie. Poor man already had the same haircut even back then.

Fixing memory leaks (while not breaking anything else) is surprisingly difficult sometimes.

The percentage of casualties that go back into active service depends not only on medical skill, support systems and casevac, but also very strongly on how desperate a country is.

Well, if you simply redefine your mission…

I dislike that the missions are all randomized now, instead of in ordered chains like Vermintide 2. I REALLY dislike that map- and enemy modifiers are now random in Darktide, and that maps occasionally happen in the dark or have mods that just make them unfun (really, 7000 hounds?).

Just let me pick what I want to do, damnit. Stop making me wait for new missions that I don’t hate.

The gameplay is actually pretty great, and there’s enough variation in enemies and big monsters that teamwork is really rewarding, even on middle-difficulty. In Vermindtide 2, a good player could still go solo, that doesn’t fly in Darktide.

How many M113’s were made? It seems like very country has warehouses with mountains of the thing.

Russia even did something completely new. They’re letting new recruits write off private debt!

As in, you owe me 76.000 euros for, I dunno, a fancy car. You join the military, and suddenly, you don’t owe me anything anymore. Yay for you (and sucks to be me. Good thing I can always enlist if I get into financial trouble)

Signed, and why the hell isn’t this already a law?

Turning my phone vertical as we speak!

Ah, I once literally burned a motherboard with an overheated CPU, as in the machine turned off when the mobo was black, smelly and bendy and something finally came loose.

That day, I learned the important lesson of having the store install the CPU for me, got a complete replacement for it too.
