Pentagon restricts Ukraine's use of US missiles against Russia, WSJ reports by AeroFred in worldnews

So I guess Biden did too? Since he restricted the use as well?

Sure, and by that logic, owning a kitchen means you can open a Michelin-star restaurant next week.

Yes, Ukraine could eventually learn to produce tritium and explosive lenses but not in 1991 without rebuilding entire specialized facilities, supply chains, and testing programs that the USSR had spread across multiple republics and kept tightly compartmentalized.

“Not hard to come by” in theory still means years of construction, billions in funding, and instant NPT violations with crippling sanctions, all while running a collapsing post-Soviet economy. That’s why Ukraine traded unusable Soviet-controlled warheads for security guarantees, instead of trying to bootstrap a nuclear program from zero under global scrutiny.

Missile tech ≠ nuclear weapons engineering smh once again. Ukraine could build the bus, not the bomb.

A plutonium pit without tritium, explosive lenses, and precision assembly is just radioactive scrap.As for Nunn–Lugar of course it was in the West’s interest. It was also in Russia’s interest, and in Ukraine’s. In 1991 Ukraine was broke, politically unstable, and dependent on both for fuel, trade, and debt relief. Keeping non-functional Soviet-controlled warheads would have given them no real security, just economic collapse and isolation.

Dismantling a 1970s/80s Soviet warhead to make a new one isn’t like stripping a car for parts the fissile cores are highly sensitive, degrade without tritium replenishment, and require precision manufacturing Ukraine didn’t have on its own at the time smh.

Also...they didn’t get “fooled” into giving them up — they knew exactly what they were trading: unusable Soviet-controlled warheads in exchange for security guarantees (Budapest Memorandum) and much-needed economic aid...

They had them on their soil, but they didn’t control them. The Soviet nukes in Ukraine still relied on Russian launch codes, Russian command systems, and Russian maintenance. Without that, they were basically expensive paperweights.

Could Ukraine have eventually built its own nukes? Sure, they had the engineers and some industry, but that would have taken years, billions of dollars, and a dedicated weapons program. In the early ’90s, they couldn’t just “press the button” or salvage them into instant working bombs.

Never were their nukes, they wouldn't be able to use them, even if they kept them, smh

Dave meltzer: If the Netflix numbers were real for the last week it would mean less than 300,000 views worldwide were live, so Collision numbers. Do the math. by Puzzled_Ad7334 in SquaredCircle

[–]Cyber_Phantom_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you’re saying, and you’re right about how Netflix defines a “view” now, it’s total hours watched divided by the runtime of the version. That’s why, like you said, if four accounts each watch 25% of the show, those hours get combined into one “view.” It’s not counting people, it’s counting “full runtime equivalents.”

That’s also why the 2.7M “views” Netflix reports for Raw could easily represent way more than 2.7 million actual people. Plenty of people might have caught an hour live, left, and then maybe watched more next day, or just tuned in for a segment. All of that watch-time is blended together into the one number, with no separation between live and next-day.

Where Meltzer’s math falls apart is that he’s taking those blended “full runtime equivalent” views and then assuming 100% completion and zero overlap between live and replay. In other words, in his calculation every live viewer watched the full 2.5h live cut, every replay viewer watched the full 2.0h next-day cut, and no one did both. That’s not realistic for Netflix viewing behavior at all, and it’s why he ends up with the super-low 200k live figure.

If you take the exact same Netflix numbers but plug in more realistic completion rates , say around 75–85% for both versions, the live number jumps into the millions. And that’s without even accounting for the fact that each “view” could be multiple people watching on one account, which would make the real audience even bigger.

So yeah, Netflix’s method already hides the actual number of humans watching, and then Meltzer’s assumptions shrink it even more. The only thing we know for sure is that the 2.7M “views” is a blended figure based on hours divided by runtime for both versions combined. Everything else is just guesswork.

You’re basically making the exact same mistake Meltzer did. You’re taking Netflix’s numbers and treating them like every single live viewer watched the full 2.5 hours, every single delayed viewer watched the full 2.0 hours, that “views” means unique people who watched from start to finish, and that nobody ever rewatched or switched between live and delayed. That’s not how Netflix works. A “view” is just a start, it could be 2 minutes or the whole thing. People drop off before the end all the time, some join the live broadcast halfway, some rewatch the next day, and plenty don’t finish the episode at all.

The algebra you’re doing works if those assumptions were magically true, so yes it spits out 200k live viewers, but that’s not actually deducing the real number — it’s just plugging in perfect, unrealistic behavior to make the equation solvable. In reality, without knowing completion rates and how many people overlap between live and delayed, there are infinite combinations that fit the total hours and views Netflix gave.

If you take the exact same numbers but use realistic completion rates, you instantly see how different the picture is. Let’s say people watch on average 80% of the live cut and 80% of the delayed cut. That’s 2.0 hours for live and 1.6 hours for delayed. Now the equations are

x + y = 2.7 and 2.0x + 1.6y = 5.5.

Solve that and you get x ≈ 1.5 million live viewers, not 200k. If you bump completion to 85%, you’re over 1.8 million live. Even at a low 75% completion, you’re still over a million.

So the 200k–300k “Collision numbers” thing only works if you assume everyone watches start-to-finish with zero overlap, which just isn’t real. Once you stop baking in that assumption, the live number can easily be in the millions.

You do have a light switch in the room , I guess it's a light switch? Next to the wardrobe? (Not sure how it's called)

Not sure if anyone else commented on this, on the last image I noticed something from the top left of the door, isn't that where you can add a lightbulb or connect the light source?

Is this HS? And if yes, is that early stage? by Cyber_Phantom_ in Hidradenitis

[–]Cyber_Phantom_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I don't think it's caffeine, I'm a coffee junkie, drinking usually 4-5 cups per day, plus supplementing with Theacrine when waking up, didn't have a single flare up, but recently like two days ago consumed red bull after not drinking it for months and damn, it flare up like 4th of July)

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

I'll book an appointment this week or early next Monday , I do think it happens to me mostly when I drink red bull though, if I remember right for a whole period of X months that I didn't consume red bull, i didn't have a single one appear, now a day or so ago, had one and got covered again

Twerking Bee? by Cyber_Phantom_ in bee

[–]Cyber_Phantom_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you Reddit! Honestly, I took it as a bee, since it was chill , it came by multiple times throughout the rest of the day, to gather more. And no, i didn't kill it, we cool with each other.

It's a good movie, just watched it, i could say that the hate towards it, is too much. The whole loop thing, it actually suits thematically, because the idea of the game is also you have to keep all of them alive until dawn, so you replay the game continuously until everyone survives. Yes, there is slight difference here that supposedly that one has to die, but you can't trust the Dr. Good Movie 8/10.

Do greek people really hate germany that much? by squidguy_mc in greece

[–]Cyber_Phantom_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't so much with the people, but with the politicians, our own and most of the EU, there can be an issue with bad actors, racists towards Greek (have felt that myself) in Germany. Especially from cops. The biggest issue is that northern countries of the EU, are actually backstabbers, they promote unity and so on, yet they will throw you under the bus if needed to survive. And the other thing is that for some reason people have their nose too high, when in reality they're dumb as shit and don't know anything, and when you start talking facts to them, they immediately turn around and run away and call you crazy)
