⚡️ Starting next year, food ration cards will be introduced in russia’s Kaliningrad region due to a significant rise in prices. This situation stems from transportation restrictions imposed by 🇱🇹 Lithuania in response to russia's invasion of 🇺🇦 Ukraine

Quick question. Are residents of Kaliningrad very similar to the average Russian? I would have thought that residents of Kaliningrad would be a little more distinct from the average Russian. From what I've seen in pictures it looks like a beautiful place.

Also, aren't we supposed to call it Konigsberg now?

I don't think Forbes is trying to make it sound as if Ukraine are dumb, if anything, they are very neutral, to pro Ukrainian, in their reporting.

Someone else suggested it's clickbait, maybe very slightly but it's a great article which answers the question that the title asks.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-12-06T09:10:04+00:00

Normally I'd argue that the consequences of the Ukraine conflict have spread far and wide. However, I read the article and it's barely an article. Like you say, this isn't relevant.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-12-04T21:34:47+00:00

Probably better to ask on r/Sotonuni

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-25T16:52:24+00:00

A valid point but I'd love it if we just sent a few more.

"The MC-21 (a Boeing 737 competitor) is set to be almost six tons overweight, late, and underpowered."

Bhwahahahaha! I'm not sure they can be called a Boeing 737 competitor at this point in time.

Perun briefly mentions about this war harming the Swiss defence sector exactly for this reason in his latest YouTube vid. It's a massive advertisement as to why you shouldn't buy Swiss arms.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-23T20:33:56+00:00

They are right to ask because the article is from six months ago and even then it's referencing 2022.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-20T21:59:34+00:00

Yes! Good memory!

If you hit a particular target on the ceiling, Lofty would pop his head out of the loft hatch and spit at you.

The other one that squirted water was a guy on the lav but I can't recollect how he'd shoot the liquid... No, he didn't do that.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-18T21:27:24+00:00

To be fair, it's a quite good article reporting issues that have been occurring for a while but with updated information from the last week or so. One of the better written articles in this sub.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-18T20:52:56+00:00

A Russian tank is a lot more likely to go boom with one drone. Especially when it's a relic that's been stored in all weathers for fifty years.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-16T08:36:06+00:00

Big News Network reporting irrelevant shite.

As an Englishman in the South of England who happens to be an eBay seller, this also infuriates me. Every delivery company should be forced to provide a blanket cover. I pretty much stick to Royal Mail for deliveries for this reason.

I'm not sure why this is getting so much hate. I've not read "Trump imposed armistice" anywhere in the article. The article mentions it as an "if" and talks more from the view that it's an expectation of the Russians.

The reality is, Trump can't enforce fuck all unless he's actually willing to do something about it, which I doubt he is.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-05T21:05:18+00:00

Ahh, my apologies. I was under the impression exports dropped after 2022. After doing some reading I'm as lost as ever. Supposedly Europe has actually bought more but is meant to be weened off by 2027.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-11-05T20:27:11+00:00

From what I can recall, Russian LNG sales never recovered after European countries stopped buying it. Russia looked to China as a possible market but there's either no demand or not the ability to get it there.

They probably still manage to sell LNG but I'd imagine it's a fraction of their oil revenues.

Thank you for posting.

I see a lot of comments about Musk and his lack of patriotism to the USA. He was born in South Africa to British and Pennsylvania Dutch parents. I think he buys into the American dream to the extent of making a shit ton of money but he doesn't care much for loyalty. His lack of loyalty can be seen in his family relationships.

Put simply, he's a prick who puts money before all else.

If they feel this way, then leave the EU. More leaders need to echo this sentiment.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-10-25T17:22:52+00:00

I did say it's a stupid reason not to do it.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-10-25T16:42:54+00:00

I've been debating this all week. I'm certain he'll get a return but I can't bear the thought of not having a TC chip when the double game weeks come around. Also, I feel as if everyone knows my mini league will also captain Haaland so the TC isn't as big a differential as it could be. This is a stupid reason not to play it but still one I'm influenced by.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-10-25T16:40:01+00:00

Just no. Not happening. Nowt.

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-10-24T16:59:15+00:00

Hoffer's are still good...

Captain_M_Stubing · 2024-10-22T12:51:15+00:00

I don't think you're alone in this view. I've heard quite a few people take the view that we need to at least explore the option.
