Yep, exactly. As cool as DU rounds sound on the battlefield as a competitive advantage for piercing armor. They are a health risk to both the soldiers handling them and absolutely poisons the soil which will have an affect on future generations living on that land.

But I guess that's the point - to scare the russians as well as salt the earth so it's useless irradiated soil for either side to use for decades to come...... Or I'm sure if Russia keeps the land, they'll simply mine it anyways and who gives a hoot about the health of government workers mining resources for the motherland, right?? /s

Lol, oh sweet child. You have much to learn about what a corporation says, and what they're forced to do by government regulations. Without them, corporations can (and will) do anything they want for the sake of more profits.

Unfortunately, with a country run by a bunch of geriatrics who hardly understand the concept of the "internet" and hardware/software, let alone the nuances of different social media platforms or how different communities within the internet interact.

I avoided chrome for a long time. Finally I made the switch because FF was getting too slow on old computers back in the day. Lasted for maybe five or six years before I started getting some bad vibes. Why am I letting google run the web browsing software I'm using? This can't/won't be good in the future.

At least five years ago I made the switch back to Firefox, and haven't looked back. I love having adblocking that works (I use a router level ad block and ublock origin just in case to ensure I block almost every ad on the internet lol).

I'm honestly surprised it took people this long to decide to move away from Chrome.

It's bliss - at night with the windows open it's dead silent. No cars zooming down the highway, no dogs barking at all hours of the night. No annoying lights from your neighbors shining into your house, and you can actually see the stars at night. All you hear are the sounds of nature.

Plus there's no HOA and enough land to have a small orchard with a flock of chickens (both for eggs and meat production) to produce fertilizer/compost for the gardens/orchard.

Luckily the grocery store is a 15 minute bicycle ride away (so the car stays at home most of the time). But you're absolutely right - the home gym necessity. I'm constantly adding equipment (since a home gym is never "finished" lol). I like using my Fitbod app since I can tell it what gear I have at home to play with so it'll generate routines using only that equipment.

Yeah, but foraging for wild mushrooms is something y'all are taught from a very young age. You're taught what kinds are safe to eat, and what ones to absolutely avoid. I highly doubt anyone with a scientific background would just randomly eat mushrooms without positive identifications.

Given that this is Russia, he probably refused to stand near any windows and had an affinity for wild mushrooms so someone took advantage of the situation lol

Pretty sure anyone paying attention even on the internet knew Russia was about to invade. Remember when US Intelligence warned the exact day Russia planned to invade.... only for Russia to wait a few days to spite the US Intelligence (which hopefully gave the UA a few extra days to get ready)

Nah it's more simple than that - the truth is boring. Salacious content is more exciting.

At the end of the day, capitalism wins, and whatever generates more views gets more advertising revenue.

Donald Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.
