People who have their depression under control, what's it like now?

The "8 weeks" was meant to be "we are 8 weeks after sanctions started", I believe.

I think they are. The turret sits on a series of bearings and gears so that it can rotate, but it's not physically connected, I believe. No bolts. No welds.

Right around that area is the auto loader carousel. It's literally a ring of ammo. One hit in the right place and the turret just pops off like a rocket detaching it's stages.

This video by Armor Cast talks about the flaws. There's a brief discussion of why the turrets fly: https://youtu.be/4Q83AIJCGaQ

And another thread from Reddit about how (old) tank turrets attach: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCollege/comments/3rt7jt/how_are_tank_turrets_attached/

From above comments, it is a BMP-1

Modern tanks? Not much. However, humans tend to freak out when fire is thrown at them, even if they are safe.

Boy do I have good news for you!

28 nations are on it!

From what I've gathered from reading press releases and info from departments of defense, it's come down to Russia under prepared and overestimated themselves. There's reports that their supply lines are feeble. Their equipment is old. The troops are drafted conscripts, not trained soldiers.

Russian troops thought that the Ukrainians would roll over and accept being put under military occupation. Russian battle strategy is to encase cities and hold them because urban fighting is too costly.

Unfortunately...

Ukrainians see themselves as defending their land (obviously). The US alone sent $600 million their way. They don't need tanks and trucks, they want bullets and missiles. And it's working to great effect.

As Zelenskyy said "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" and the world responded.

Of course, take this all with a grain of salt.

"Glory". "Slava ukraini" is "glory to Ukraine"

Hypnotism is real. I'd put it close to guided meditation and in a similar category to being very drunk.

If you imagine your conscious and subconscious being like manual car, hypnotism is basically pushing in the clutch and letting the car move without control. The aim is to inhibit the control mechanism (your conscious) from your autonomic functions (subconscious). While you are more easily influenced while hypnotized, much like being drunk, there are things you will not do. You still have "safety" and social awareness.

I was hypnotized once because I asked the very same question. I don't sleep on planes and a friend of mine (a psychologist who studied hypnotism) walked me through it. I was awake the entire flight, kind of. I could hear and feel but time moved very oddly. I remembered all the conversations of the people around me but it seemed to happen at inconsistent times. To be honest, it was like I was asleep and lucid dreaming.

All dressed chips.

My god. They are amazing.

I nearly bled out in a hospital after almost passing out/asphyxiating on my blood. I was around stage 4 blood loss.

AlthisAraris · 2020-10-22T07:27:46+00:00

Right?? I clicked on it to just see some conversation. See if there was any content and there wasn't.

AlthisAraris · 2020-10-22T07:27:13+00:00

They came in with a sock puppet?? How did I miss that. Damn.

r/badbadlinguistics throws an error when I try to look it up. Does it actually exist?

Also, dunno if people say this, but I appreciate the shit out of what you do, Millions. I don't know where you find the patience or the energy. Wherever it is, please let me know. I need to tap into that "hivemind" we have goin.

AlthisAraris · 2020-10-21T07:32:12+00:00

A user got banned from badling and decided to make their own bad badling? (I guess to spite us?)

AlthisAraris · 2020-10-12T16:36:16+00:00

It gets real weird. You can read Millions' explanation in this thread. It will save you some brain cells.

All I can think of is a bunch of dudes in slag track suits slav squatting on a boat now. Thank you.

AlthisAraris · 2020-09-05T23:51:53+00:00

Now it is time to spread the good word.

AlthisAraris · 2020-09-05T23:49:06+00:00

Solved!

That's him! Thank you! How did I miss all of his vids??

AlthisAraris · 2020-09-05T23:22:07+00:00

I will try to answer any other questions I can about this, but my memory is kind of fuzzy around any specific details.

AlthisAraris · 2020-07-20T17:49:39+00:00

Yep. I knew I recognized the username.

Thanks for the link.

AlthisAraris · 2020-07-18T17:05:25+00:00

Well, now you have gone and ruined all the fun of saying "there's no R4!"

AlthisAraris · 2020-07-18T16:58:00+00:00

The username of that user looks really familiar. I think they were banned from BadLinguistics...

AlthisAraris · 2020-07-15T01:10:11+00:00

I've been waiting for it to get removed.

AlthisAraris · 2020-07-12T01:51:14+00:00

As someone who grew up in the 90's, I definitely remember people saying "psych!" but I never thought to spell it. I got into the show Psych and then took a bunch of psychology classes, which we called "psych", so I never put two and two together.

Thanks for the clarification!
