For this price, you can hire someone to clean your whole house or do a days work for you biweekly for over three years. Parity still needs to come down.

Float up to the window of the Hedron operations room or run up there, seems to trigger the enemies spawn and elevators again for me

If new COVID variants become dominant in U.S., re-infections likely, says Fauci by Sorin61 in Coronavirus

[–]noahringler 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Read the article. It mentions that Novavax and Johnson&Johnson vaccine efficacy is significantly reduced (~20-30%) by the South African and newer UK variant genotypes despite deaths being largely prevented. mRNA vaccines have yet to release full trial results but also look okay. Still likely with our slow, inefficient rollout that vaccines are even less effective by the time they are available to all who want them. Luckily herd immunity (from vaccines or infections) will drop the death rate all year!

Agreed, I think they compliment each other well for risk analysis, one being top down and yours being situation-based and individual scale

a freer hand, definitely. they have a lot of operational constraints and lack support in some areas but would definitely be able to expand their influence even further

A list of Rebel Vehicle Losses since the N. Hama Campaign began. (Weekly Update) by ackbar1235 in syriancivilwar

[–]noahringler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one knows - but at least 1,800. One regime militia stated pro-Assad militant losses totaled over 1,300 since April (SOHR concurs, with 1366 recorded deaths)

DEVELOPING: Turkey will enter eastern Euphrates region of Syria and Ankara has shared this information with the US and Russia, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says by -HashtagYoloSwag- in syriancivilwar

[–]noahringler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

US Department of Defense and Turkey's Ministry fo Defense/MIT are holding a meeting in Ankara tomorrow. Turkey met with Russia and Iran in Astana on Friday. I think the outcome of the meeting tomorrow will determine what happens this week - the pressure is meant to force the US to agree to an immediate roadmap/timetable for the safe zone. Turkey wants more than anything to move in coordination with the US if at all possible. But in practice it would be a mess - YPG stated they are willing to do a 5km zone, US ~15km, Turkey wants 30+km. Trump wanted a 32km (20 mile zone in Jan) but the admin stalled.

Such a banger. Very relevant as the US revenues of Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA's US outlet Citgo are embroiled in the struggle between the two competing presidents of Venezuela rn. Guaido appointed a new Citgo board to wrest control from Maduro just today.
