My old Xperia Z5 Compact was the only phone I’ve ever owned that had decent speakers. You could actually listen music with them without getting pissed off. It was small and had amazing audio capabilities and great camera, easily the best phone I’ve ever owned.
But listening music / watching videos in public with your phone speakers on is an abomination. It should be made illegal everywhere.
I’d hug my mom. Then I’d go ask the pretty next door girl for a date; I lesrned later in life that she also had a crush on me at the time, but since I was plain looking and slightly overweight nerd I never thought I’d hsve any chance with her.
After getting that out of my system I’d do the obligatory investing.
Hell, they would get unconditional surrender just by promising to send a few battallions of unarmed female troops over.
I’ve had the honor of competing with air rifles against one of Häyhä’s grandnieces. Häyhä never had any children of his own.
I can assure you that the talent was NOT genetic ;)
That’s a very good question.
I checked the specs of the TM-62, the standard fuze should require a pressure of 1500-5500N (150-550kg) to detonate. So the dragging should not have triggered it, unless the fuze was faulty - which would not be impossible considering the subpar quality of the Russian gear.
You may be right. My friend was trained as a sapper and he often talked about the importance of positioning the charges correctly. Even the simplest AT mines are designed to direct the most of the blast on the up-down - axis, to maximize the damage.
And like somebody already wrote, the cameraman could judt have been a dead man walking his final steps. The blast should have caused massive internal damage at that range. Maybe someone just salvaged the memory card of the camera/phone afterwards.
I thought it looked just like a TM-62 too, but the blast made me think again. I’ve seen those things go boom, I just can’t believe that the cameraman could be walking after that.
If if had been a TM-62, at that range the blast would have quite certainly made sure there would be no footage left to view. It had to be a directional mine.
If these daily numbers are close to correct, Ukraine’s counterartillery capability has increased dramatically in the last weeks. Even with Russias large material reserves those losses are bound to be at unsustainable levels.
Ukraine has lots of valuable natural resources, but Russia has much more of everything. The biggest reason for the invasion is most likely that Putin could not let a “brother nation” prosper and drift towards Europe and being a functioning democracy.
Russia’s population might get wild ideas if they saw that their Ukrainian cousins’ standard of living starts to rise rapidly while they have to endure living under a fascist dictator. And substandard and underdeveloped infrastructure, due to the rampant corruption and a government who doesn’t give a shit about the areas outside the larger cities.
Russia and Trump lied ?
Inconceivable!
IMHO, J.J. Abrams should not be allowed to touch any scriptwriting duties ever. He is not a bad director, but he doesn’t seem to give a shit about the internal logic of the script if it comes in conflict with the “cool ideas” he has.
His two Star Trek films were perfect examples of this fallacy, as was the last and worst Star Wars film. With Star Trek he kinda butchered the heart of the franchise - the point of using starships to explore - with “Oh, the transporter can now beam stuff over interplanetary and interstellar distances, because it will be so awesome and less time consuming!”
Yes, it’s science fiction and suspension of disbelief is required to fully enjoy it, but it is possible to obey the decades old in-universe rules and still write an enticing storyline if you put a little effort in it. Sad model example of lazy writing.
Of course the fault is not all his, the other producers should have stopped his stupid ideas but chose not to. Still, ROS was so bad that the guy should have been blacklisted for life.
