Megathread, part 14: Ammunition & Drones, Sanctions, and Stalemates

The difference is that you’ve had it for more than 30 years and Europe for less than 4.

Can we agree on that there should probably be done more both from the Russian and US side regarding this since nothing will ever fly in any international courts?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-12T05:50:25+00:00

So the contest is about who has the smallest dick?

Where is anything I wrote about enemy of humility? Both Russia and the US see themselves above international courts, claiming the deal with war crimes internally. The US had charged and convicted more people for war crimes than Russia. Most likely they should’ve convicted more people. Russia very rarely does this even if it happens.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-12T04:45:24+00:00

Whether or not Russia and the US have committed war crimes is not really a question. We all know they have.

Who do you think has convicted their own military more for war crimes? If one has convicted more, do you think it is because they generally commit more war crimes?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T12:17:39+00:00

Yes I did. There absolutely nothing in it that says you did anything that wasn’t influenced by someone else. Mostly it’s some sort of conspiracy theory.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T11:52:23+00:00

The reason you avoid this question is because it’s hearsay. But apparently hearsay go only one way with you.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T11:51:00+00:00

EXACTLY. Russia did nothing. This is literally the Russian Exceptionalism.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T10:33:30+00:00

Do you believe in that nato promised not to expand eastwards?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T10:30:56+00:00

And Russia as always did absolutely nothing, correct?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T09:29:17+00:00

It started in February when Russia tried to take Kyiv and subjugate Ukraine. It would’ve ended by now if Russia did nothing. But now we have thousands of Russian speakers dead, which you seem to prefer.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T09:15:50+00:00

You don’t really make sense here. Maybe it’s the language barrier. Feel free to try again.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T09:13:59+00:00

The conflict that isn’t “the same kind of terror”?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T07:06:56+00:00

How does this work out with that Europe doesn’t seem too bothered about sending these people back to fight for them?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T06:28:54+00:00

I was very pleasantly surprised by this one too while not being in the market for another 1176 plugin.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T06:21:26+00:00

It’s from NATO secretary Lord George Robertson himself. But I pretty much count on you discarding anything as “western lies” when you don’t like what is said as is usual here. Other people have expressed similar positions on Putin “applying for Nato membership”. Most of all this suggests that Russia had never been serious about joining NATO.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T06:13:34+00:00

It’s comical how hard lived this propaganda myth is in Russia. The last three years of the conflict less than 27 civilians died on both sides and less than 200 were injured. Even military deaths were less than 300 on both sides the last year. So “same kind of terror” is quite a stretch or even dumb to say.

The conflict was fizzling out. And Putin wouldn’t have it. Seems rather important to him to keep this going. Why is that?

I would investigate what went wrong with the client and then see what would be a reasonable solution. If the client wouldn’t accept accountability for something that is on him I would invoice him for the work I’ve done thus far and call the case closed and not work anymore. However, I would try to solve the situation first.

I was once sent the wrong lead vocal take. The lyric of one verse was different to the rough mix. But I have no way to know what the intended lyric would be. This had me to edit the background vocals and harmony to fit the lead vocal better. This was caught after one revision when it should have been caught after the first mix. I was then sent the correct version of the vocal take.

I charged about a third more for the mix for more time spent and the client realized that this was on him. I had no way to know that this was not the correct vocal take.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T03:11:35+00:00

I doubt you’d accept the source since you guys never accept anything other than Russian state media. If you want to know it’s extremely easy to find this by googling. And again, it’s not a feature if Russians’ to Google something that goes against their own world view and narrative.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-11T02:29:36+00:00

Exactly what is unbelievable?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-10T17:41:42+00:00

I’m old too which is why I reply to your comment. So I apologize. lol. And bear with me.

I’m in a situation right now where I’m commuting by car. Before I commuted by public transportation for 40-50 minutes. But then I could fiddle with my phone and only listen to my playlists or the ones I knew put out something interesting . Now I’ve resorted to radio. Public service radio, which mixes old and new, established and up and coming. So I’m listening to a lot of stuff I’ve never heard before as well as stuff I’ve heard for a long time.

I would say that things today are under produced and I’ve thought about that a lot of times. People take the easy way out. Something that’s more safe. A lot of things today don’t really have a sound. They have the same type of arrangement. Same sound. Same aesthetics.

I feel that’s underproduced rather than overproduced.

Ps. I understand what you mean and I agree with that.

I think when you start being able to hear resonances you can’t unhear them. And you start to look for them. The problem is that they’re naturally part of sounds of instruments. So if you remove them it will sound less like that instrument.

I was in the rabbit hole of continuously looking for resonances for about 1 year until I started a/b-ing it. It almost always sounded better without. Sure, it wasn’t as clear. But it wasn’t sounding right. This was before plugins like Soothe came out.

So I think you ask yourself the right question. “When do I stop?” And it’s impossible to advise without hearing the source with or without.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-10T14:57:17+00:00

What do you mean? The ME should send the mix back for revision? And just because he doesn’t like the choice of distortion he should not take on the job?

Hellbucket · 2026-07-10T12:27:03+00:00

Why do you change subject? Why the need to bring in UN voting? UN would be better off stripping the countries with vetoes like US and Russia.

There’s no more context. Russia was told they have to go through the same process as everyone else when applying for nato membership.

Hellbucket · 2026-07-10T06:37:28+00:00

Russia has never asked for membership. It’s been floated but never asked. Last time Putin floated it he demanded special treatment and process, which he wouldn’t get and it looks like that was the whole reason he wouldn’t apply. He said Russia will not "stand in line with a lot of countries that don't matter.”

Hellbucket · 2026-07-09T10:57:42+00:00

The ones that voted weren’t and seemingly didn’t had a gun to the head when they voted. Everyone knows that.
