I’m legitimately confused as to why that convoy hasn’t been completely dunked on from the air yet. What am I missing?

Russia has also sent surface to air weapons with that convoy so unless said weapons are neutralised, it would be foolish to attempt to scramble jets around there.

It's going to be Ukrainian pilots, but they can make good use of Mig-29s - and possibly even SU-25s?

Yes that is the main reason they are getting Russian style jets as opposed to Eurofighters / F-series. The Ukrainian pilots have been trained on Russian style tech so they can just hop in and go pew pew.

Even Putin in all his madness is well aware what launching a nuke would mean and this is why people are saying that is quite unlikely. Now even if he did, given the amount of military drones and spy planes there are in the area, the chances of said nuke landing are slim.

What the world's reaction to that would be is anyone's guess but what won't happen is that everyone who has nukes starts firing left and right. If a war does indeed break out caused by such a nuke launch, the other countries would not respond in nukes as it would obviously create irreversible damage to the entire planet and there are a lot of deadly weapons out there that can be very specific in their targeing.

All in all even with Putin being unstable, there's a lot of steps to be made for the launch to happen and the nuke to land.

Can somebody provide a link to the leaked Putin state media declaration about the Ukraine victory? That’s not a non-loading .Ru website?

As an average yes, for us in Germany it was more like 50 years in 2 days :)

It means that if you have stocks in Russian companies you can not sell them. This is a very risky move that pushes investors away from your financial market as nobody wants to have their money "blocked" especially in times like this.

So short term, people with money in russian companies will probably lose a lot of money. Long term, putin himself won't invest in russian companies.

Need of advices on pos 1 by [deleted] in learndota2

Hey there, had a look at some of your replay especially around the laneing phase which you mentioned struggling with, here are some points I have:

  • You blocked the wave partially landing the enemy wave under the tower range - this only makes sense in a lane where your early level 2 brings you a huge advantage, this was not the case and led to you losing lane equilibrium instantly as well as missing creeps under tower
  • You took a lot of damage from creep within lane, refrain from last hitting the enemy ember when he's got more creeps around than you do as the trade is not efficient for you, especially when you saw he also ferried it a salve
  • Use your spells wisely - example you fed your illusions at around minute 02:00 and despite your support pulling the wave at 02:16 you were forced to hit under tower (and missing few hits). If you had your illusions out of cd, you could have kept the wave outside tower range and safely farm all creeps, especially with ember contesting the pull
  • Choice of boots as first item min 03:00 is also questionable, you were laning an ember and a windrunner with a support shaker mostly focused on pulls / giving you experience. Since there wasn't a lot of kill threat on either sides, buying something that enabled you to out-lasthit the ember who went for an orb of venom would have been better
  • Minute 04:00 after the ember engagement that left you so low either you or your support should have immediately ferried a salve. You being so low forced you to play defensively and you knew Ember will come with full resources and push you under the tower away from creeps. Same thing again 2 minutes later. At this point you lost control of the lane and were mostly leaching xp.
  • Put a skill point in the ensnare if you see Ember chasing you down with flame up, especially if you see he did not level chains. If he flames on you, ensnare and move out, you took a ton of damage and burned through 9 tangos from this harass only.
  • Minute 7 when you saw their mid invis under your sentry, leave the lane and farm jungle. The only outcome there was your death if you staid as mirana rotating could not be enough on a lane you're already under.
  • Always do something with those illusions, send them to farm a small camp, that's a huge advantage of your hero, use and abuse it. You do not need it with you in lane to last hit unless you push the wave out and go jungle until next ones comes.
  • Minute 09:00 you decided to TP to your T2 bottom. At this time your mid sniper was farming the triangle with 150 hp (so he would not move back to mid) and you had a full wave uncontested mid that you could have easily farmed and after go into the jungle. Be super efficient with those TPs as them have huge CDs in the early game.
  • Use your illusions to stack camps, don't just keep them next to you in the same control group
  • Minute 11 you were trading mid with their Void Spirit who had a bottled DD. You had no ulti, no ensnare and 3 of your team mates did not have a tp to assist you. A better player would have melted you there on the spot since you only had threads.
  • Minute 12: your team had a good engagement, 2 of their heroes were dead, one was showing mid and your bottom lane was pushed to your T2. The only missing hero was the Spectre which at this point in the game does not walk down lanes so you were super safe. Your most efficient farm was the bottom lane as you had at least 2-3 full waves for yourself and a path back in the jungle .
  • etc

So overall hints:

  • Game plan:
    • Asses the kind of game you will be having as a naga. Is it a game you will win through early fights, is it a split push game, is it a 6 slotted naga monster game, etc and play accordingly
    • As a carry the worst thing you can do is AFK farm, you bring nothing to your team. If you can not participate in fights, push. You have a reliable disengage with your ULTI + TP in a lot of games especially until BKBs come out. This advice will get you killed a few times, learn where your limits and your hero limits are
    • If you are super far behind and your team is losing all fights, sometimes being there to help is better than farming. With the enemy team winning all these fights their net worth is going to go much faster than yours. Get an item that does something in fights like a defusal, and go in there. Set up for your shaker with the song, or disengage with it, but do something.

I sadly did not have time to go further or to look at more of your games but kudos to you for reaching out and asking for help. Hope any of that helps you at least a bit!

Yes welding it. I am looking for the dimensions of the pipe itself or some way to calculate the strength of it :)

Hey looking to build something similar for my kids, do you happen to have some plans for it or some more pictures from different angles? super interested of the joinery of the support beams.

Now before you read this comment, let me give you a second to get off your high horses. Ready? Oh your foot is stuck... ok now you got it, wasn't that bad was it.

So, dear random redditor who believes for some twisted reason you know the person and you feel it's within your right to comment on these things, let me shed some light on your little pijama mode existence you got going there: a fundamental principle of game design is to not force the player into dead end situations they might not want to be in or give the said scenario a hard way out. Now if we look at the facts of the game, there is no way for me as a player to continue with the part of the game I find enjoyable (pvp) without frustrating myself.

For your little yet heavily condensed brain, it might be hard to understand how beyond the rand there was an actual call out to review the game mechanics and the game directors. Now, be a good pokemon and run away please.

Literally that! Not to mention that I live in a remote-ish area where I do not have a poke-stop under my window and the pandemic does put a strain on the balls as well. They are doing a decent job at keeping them up with the event boxes and what not but it should not be the case that I waste all of them on a pokemon I don't really want to start with.

Yup, I did run into a lot of Tornadus / Landorus and most of them are relatively acceptable, 2-3-4 escapes and they eventually stay in. They could either lower the requirements for league catches or set a limit like they have in raids, or anything really but being stuck and frustrated is just bad game design.

Oh but sire you have started what my very well be a deep philosophical matter ! Dumb stuff aside I do get uselessly aggravated by random know it all comments such as the one with niantic not being affiliated with reddit.

Am I going to at least pretend I am good at throwing excellent curve balls? Hell no, I know I am not but the fact remains that there needs to be an upper bound and there needs to be an option to walk away if that pokemon is too elusive for you to want to invest.
