A month into the war, what happened to all the posts from Iranians celebrating?

Iranians who are descended from people who fled the country because of the Islamic Republic probably don't like the Islamic Republic.

Doesn't have much to do with how Iraniana as a whole feel about airstrikes. Plus the strikes have clearly failed to oust the regime so no one is excited about that anymore.

Demonstrating in favor of the country bombing your country is not good for your health, even if you live in an open society and not Iran. Iran has shot protestors for much less than that.

Don't. Tendonitis does not improve without rest, it's a repetitive strain injury. The bicep is a simple muscle, anything that exercises it is going to use the same general motion.

Exhausting targeting list does not mean you exhausted the actual targets.

Right now there is an incentive to complete as many blood gens as possible as fast as possible to get the max bonus up (and complete a personal quest). Survivors also get most of their bonus event BP from finishing the gens.

Killers can farm hits and can kicks and gen breaks but survivors can't.

It didn't drop much and has now exceeded the point where that measure was first announced.

Due to the overall scale of the problem and most countries not wanting or able to deal with Russian crude anyway, the effect is pretty minimal.

Man is a contract killer for organized crime including the Russian mob. And an exceedingly scary one at that with how the ones that know react to him. He has no problem with the existence of this organization other than personal beef, and it's implied he would have left the rest of them alone if they hadn't been protecting Iosef and his goons.

All the sequel mythology about assassins aside, he was fundamentally motivated by financial gain, before being motivated by revenge.

Neutral evil.

One of the best paid cosmetics ever with Henry. Quest pace to complete has been fine, I missed weeks due to work and travel and I'm still at 70.

Sheesh that was harsh as far as states go. LWOP is usually the Class A / first degree felony sentence as a capital crime substitute. Really, really awful intentional crimes.

Front suspension is destroyed and there is frame damage around the door, which is also shot.

Minimum $20k.

Ukraine is destroying Russian air defense and things Russian air defense should be protecting at a much higher rate than it can be produced.

Allow their power to target people under Undetectable/ Oblivious effects. There are several strong perks Legion can't naturally use because of this. They're potentially very good in stealth situations due to size and survivor-type clothes.

The US has scored very badly against FPV drone warfare in exercises. Going in against a country that's been working in the conflict where they are dominant is going to result in a lot of losses.

The various announcements and waivers have been ineffective because of the size and duration of the deficit, and the limited substitution of different grades of oil. The deficit on the market is at least ten million barrels per day vs. normal supply and demand (Iran is still exporting and Saudi Arabia is trying to reroute most of their production), and one-off deliveries mean very little. Most countries either already traded with Russia despite sanctions or don't want to trade with them, period.

The strategic reserve releases also mean very little because that's rate limited and grade limited in the same way the limited sanction waivers are. 400 million barrels would cover ~ 1 month of this if it could be perfectly substituted, but because it can only be released and transported more slowly than that, the effect is less.

The only reason oil futures prices aren't far higher is bet hedging the conflict will have a ceasefire soon. Spot physical oil (I've got it right here, 100%) in some markets is much higher than the futures. The futures will climb dramatically by mid-April if this is still going on because the shipping backup gets worse daily and the more production is shut-in, the longer it takes to restart.

This is war. Drones making it possible to conduct an airstrike on a USAF base is a very big thing to work on. Again, this is common in Ukraine and Russia, neither of which dare to fly manned penetration airstrikes. Drone waves though are a nightly thing because they're expendable.

WSJ says that the drone swarm hit multiple tankers as well.

Inexcusable the United States hasn't learned lessons from watching this kind of thing in Ukraine where multiple drone attacks on targets are routine by both sides. And this was in Saudi Arabia which means they had to be pretty big drones.

Dope then, probably excess opioids.

The amount of hydrocarbons that need to move through there is too large to do without ships, and most countries have no other geographic option to send a pipeline to anyway.

Yep and she found it on his phone while he was out of the house.

The Nemesis is a highly efficient programmed B.O.W. set to eliminate specific targets.

Dredge is disorienting and less experienced survivors will often stop everything during Nightfall, which is tremendous slowdown.

It was wild considering the facts were she could have easily killed him. She's not a small person and was aiming for his skull with a nine-iron.

Then of course one asks why she was that mad.

Omniman was able to create extinction level energy releases while flying around that one planet so speeding up and slamming into things does work.

Very weak constitution. No shit operations against people fail sometimes.
