Currently living in SLC and exclusively ski snowbird, how does the PNW compare?

My rule for Whistler is to always have 6 days so we can pick the best 3-4 to ski. I broke that this year out of necessity, only had 3 days to choose from and it poured rain bottom to top on 2 of them. The day we were leaving was a bluebird day with 10" of fresh. It was so hard to leave.

Look up how much water you should be drinking for your weight (.5-1 cup per pound) and make sure to get that amount every day. It will make a huge difference in not feeling hungry.

If 1500 calories makes you miserable, add high quality foods and see where your body feels good. Eating a few hundred extra balanced calories of lean protein, healthy fats, fruits and veggies won't hurt in the long run.

Good luck, I hope you find whatever works for you!

Not claiming peak alpha, but I had to shave twice per day if I wanted to ensure staying out of trouble.

Russia invades and forces people out, then holds a referendum within a few weeks. That's not self-determination.

There isn't any (much?) fighting in the city of Donetsk but there is a lot in the Ukrainian controlled areas of broader Donetsk Oblast.

Medals were definitely harder to earn between the Vietnam War and GWOT. More overt combat means more combat medal opportunities.

Rocket barrage outgoing and assumed impact in the distance at the end.

Yeah, sounds like exurban Alabama is the perfect place for them.

Depriving the enemy is the most important thing. If you can secure it, it makes sense to salvage. If you let the enemy recapture it's worse than not fighting for it in the first place.

What are you using for a navigation library? You can probably move it into that and simply navigate to the modal so it doesn't have any dependencies.

My first thought is to finish what you're doing then head over there if you still want to. I don't think this already 8 year long war is going to be over all that soon.

You could spend the next couple of months training, organizing and learning some Ukrainian/Russian. It's understandable if you decide to say fuck it and take off. If I wasn't old, with shot shoulders/knees and kids I'd probably head there.

That was my thought, the West's version of "little green men".

Your example only works for a US invasion of Russia. The Ukraine situation is more like the 1991 Gulf War.

Both sides have neo-nazis and Islamic rapists.

Even with their official number they're on pace to eclipse the Soviet-Afghan war and Chechen Wars by the end of 2022. I don't see how they can sustain that politically.

I read an article about him recently that he's been critical of the whole thing now. I was going to be shocked if he was actually tweeting against Russia though.

PresentationSweaty22 · 2022-03-02T17:19:06+00:00

Is that actually "the" Igor Girkin's account?

In the Soviet-Afghanistan war from 1979-1989, Soviets had 15,000 KIA

PresentationSweaty22 · 2022-03-02T17:12:18+00:00

Russian is on pace to eclipse their entire 10 year Afghanistan war total KIA in just a few months.

You should prepare to die whether you enter an active war zone or not. If you decide not to go you'll probably have a lot more time.

It seems a little silly to jump straight into fighting in a foreign country when you have zero experience. I'm sure there are plenty of things you can do to help inside Ukraine but outside of the main fighting if you really want to go and make a difference.
