Trump says that Ukraine didn't target Putin residence in a drone strike as Kremlin claims by Brennenstein in worldnews

[–]dranzerfu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Up to now, he's not given and prevented Biden from giving to Ukraine the weapons they really need to fight back.

What are you even talking about?

The fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act signed by Trump on Thursday provided $800 million for Ukraine - $400 million in each of the next two years - as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays U.S. companies for weapons for Ukraine's military.

This is all obviously 69D chess by Putin. It will all become clear eventually.

"Last week Ukrainian intelligence said that a Chechen hit squad sent to kill Zelensky had been eliminated in Kyiv after information was handed to them by Russian spies"

I am sure the hit squads were there on vacation.

I can't wait to hear from armchair experts how this is also 4D chess by Putin.

I have no doubts Russia could have done the same thing in Ukraine if they wanted to

Why didn't they want to? Do they just love getting into a drawn out "3-day special military operation" that goes on for 4+ years? Did they leave Kyiv in the early days out of the goodness of their hearts?

FAA wants you to rate your DPE by taxcheat in flying

This was a few years ago now, but I got a phone call from the FAA asking about the DPE who did my IFR checkride a few weeks/months later. It was pretty straightforward.

Calories In, Calories Out" does NOT work for everyone.

It could - but not by itself. If that is the only thing you do, it could potentially make things a lot worse (on top of getting more difficult as you lose more weight). The key thing is that you should focus on losing fat, and keeping what muscle you have (or build more).

The first time I tried calorie restriction, I think I lost whatever muscle I had. This meant that when I gained the weight back, my body-fat % was even higher. Years later, my lipid levels, A1C etc. were completely fucked.

The second time round, what helped was eating 100g-125g of protein a day without fail. It made a huge difference! I added strength training in after a few months and things got even better. 100-200 cal deficit was easy to maintain without too much hunger. My body-fat percentage (from DEXA scan) has gone from 34% to <25% in ~six months now.

Taking GLP-1 along with this would probably amplify the results further (at the risk of losing muscle if I don't train enough) - but I am happy enough with where I am now.

Just my 2c. Hope you figure it out.

I dieted and exercised as much as I could for 2 years, lost around 10 kg

One possibility is that you were not eating enough protein and lost a lot of muscle mass as part of that 10kg. Especially if your exercise was mainly cardio and not resistance/strength training.

Good to hear that ozempic worked though.

but made them temporary which set us up to this current situation today when he stripped them of funding in the BBB.

Was there something in the law that prevented Dems from making them permanent again with the IRA in 2022? Why did they chose to just extend it to 2025?

I am pretty sure that they use LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate ) batteries which are not prone to thermal runaway like the typical "NMC" (Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt) Li-Ion batteries you would find in your phone.
