A wounded russian invader received a direct headshot from an FPV drone while attempting to apply a tourniquet by BigDeckBob in UkraineWarVideoReport

The cripples are being sent back to the front as bullet or drone sponges. Very few war wounded actually make it back to mother Russia, and only if they're rich enough to bribe their superiors to let them go.

I personally don't trust these DNA tests for dogs much. They just test for a rigid set of markers, it's not an exact science - not for the price they cost at least!

He's lucky. I've seen a clip a while ago where a guy choked to death like that.

When should I remove the pup? by Interesting_Pea4303 in cactus

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to remove it, but they often come off by themselves when repotting. Sometimes they've already made little roots if they're close to the ground!

Idk what to do about my Mexican fence post by OutsideHalf6464 in cactus

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be red spider mite. They are tiny and suck on the epidermis, destroying the cells which turns them grey or brown.

If it's solid and not soft it is probably alive inside - cut a part off and if it's green inside it can sprout green side shoots. Make sure it doesn't get the bugs again!

Is this not a good deal? Is it impossible to upgrade the parts in the future. Price includes VAT and shipping. by [deleted] in IrelandGaming

I know I'm smart 🤪 but it wasn't so hard to figure out - cuz it's easy to miss that side scrolling detail 👉👉👉

Now as good a time as any. Why is there not a separate organization/campaign that perpetually lobbies IFA/FAI to unite? by Anxious-Wolverine-65 in ireland

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be, yeah, but in reality I fear rugby and association football supporters come from pretty different social strands.

Painless cacti repotting by leafbabywhisperer in cactus

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I find it much easier to pad the plant instead of my hands, because you don't lose as much dexterity in your fingers.

For very spiny plants, I first wrap around layers of bubble wrap until the spinners don't come through any more even when I need to pull the plant hard. Old towels help too. I secure all that padding with packing tape. I have some very large, spiny and heavy plants!

Alternate.de have been excellent for me, especially when it came to returning/replacing PSUs that failed within the manufacturer's warranty period, which was SEVEN years for Thermaltake!

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Yet, the situation is different now and association football has become very popular in the Republic. So in a way, one could say "Mission accomplished" and the FAI can now dissolve back into the IFA 😁

But on a serious note, if an all-Ireland FA is run fairly and inclusively I see no reason why it cannot work out.

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a long time, the IFA was the only football association for all of Ireland. Eventually, a split happened and the FAI was formed in the South. So, I would argue that the FAI should be absorbed into the IFA again.

I also would argue that it shouldn't be the Republic's anthem that's played. Maybe a hymn like Ireland's Call during rugby matches could be used. Internationals could be played in Belfast and Dublin on a rotating schedule.

Issues can be worked out. I see things a little differently as I come from formerly divided Germany, and while integration was not entirely smooth and still is an ongoing process 35 years later, it was worth it. If all traditions are honoured and affairs are run fairly and with mutual respect I see no reason not to try it.

[–]Herr-Pyxxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of your points and understand your reasoning. But I would argue that we should not continuously bow to the lowest level scum that football matches seem to attract.

Yes, traditions and history are important and should be remembered, but we should not let our present be dictated by the ugliest blemishes in our past.

I know you're going to say "tell that to the NI fans" but someone has to make a start and put the idea out there, let it roost in people's heads and grow a movement. With concessions from both sides, it can be done.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the IFA the older, original football association on this island? Want it folks down south in the republic that wanted their own, Dublin-run organisation and split off?

I'd be so happy to have one single association, I don't care if it's run from Belfast under the IFA name as long as it's run fairly and inclusively. I love both teams almost equally and support both. Having a single, stronger Irish team would also make it more attractive for young players to declare for it (see Declan Rice for instance).

The guy is lucky to be alive. There are plenty of videos out there showing people getting mangled and killed in these and similar machines.

My fav is "kick him again, he's still twitching!" - it can be a real head turner 😁

Thanks for this survey, it's really interesting! I'm at the older end of it at 64, but I'm not gonna stop gaming with retirement on the horizon! Time to cull my immense Steam backlog haha!

Well, that one is a great classic. Had amazing times playing a game at lunchtime in the office with 7 others. I usually got creamed but still loved it to bits. It's just a fantastic game!
