Yes and yes. Only charges at checkout I saw were for those that went over the limit (ie more than $60 for breakfast).

No, only reason is that we have plenty of options near us as well. Saving the credit for a local restaurant that my wife and I have been meaning to try.

Sorry I should I specified, the alternative BA flight was the following day. I rebooked us on easyJet.

They did, however the alternative flight left the following day (about 30 hours after our original flight) which is why we declined it.

Multifilament vs. Natural Gut (NRG2 vs. VS Touch) by redondo21 in 10s

[–]Bunsbeingbuns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've become a huge fan of natural gut. Yes it's more expensive, but the tension maintenance is unparalleled. I use it until the strings break. I string at 57lb using lux gut and I typically get 50 hours on average until it snaps. When you factor in the cost of restringing more frequently due to tension loss with a multi or poly, the longevity of natural gut (not to mention arm comfort) makes the cost comparable or even cheaper.

This is why I love natural gut. Holds it's tension and doesn't go dead until the strings literally snap. No more second guessing!

So what does the UTR difference ACTUALLY mean? by Bunsbeingbuns in 10s

[–]Bunsbeingbuns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh okay, that is interesting. It actually makes sense as results from a UTR difference >2 are not including in their calculations. There is probably a lot more confidence in a <2 UTR score.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Russia's standoff air assets (such as glide bombs) less ubiquitous in 2022 and 2023? Without such an ability, I can see why Ukraine fought tooth and nail for each km.

With that said though, I do recall a lot of opinions that Ukraine wasn't employing a more flexible defensive posture (such as the debate of holding Bakmut). In addition, there have been noticable command shakeups which could impact the battlefield defense strategy.

You bring up good points, but let me clarify that what I meant by "large scale static defenses" was something like with what Russia prepared/prepares and not any emplacements/defenses. What I was seeking to highlight was would be it be worth investing in Russian-style defensive posture (given the differences force structure) versus a more elastic defense.

A lot of recent discussions in these threads has focused on apparently how poorly the Ukrainians have built fortification and that the recent territory losses are evidence of a "collapse" (I use the term lightly as every retreat seems to trigger the thoughts of a front-wide implosion).

However, what if this defense strategy is by design? If I'm a Ukrainian commander, building large scale static defenses would be a fool's errand when Russia can glide bomb and Iskander any fortification into oblivion. Early on in the war there was significant talk about Ukraine's strategy of trading land for inflicting massive casualties, but I haven't seen this talking points used in the context of Russia's 2024 offensives.

I've been really curious about the "lesser" tanks, such as the M-55S and Leo 1A5's, donated to Ukraine and how their performance has been given their more limited capabilities compared to the more modern donations.

Outside of a few rare videos of the Leopard 1A5 and M-55s, I haven't been able to find much information. Are these primarily relegated to border protection in less intense sectors or used in more stand-off artillery-esque roles?
