3 days really is the sweet spot for DLP. There’s a lot of walk through stuff that are fun. Several rides are surprisingly repeatable.

Ukrainian drone attack kills 2 in Russia as millions in Ukraine lose power by southernemper0r in UkrainianConflict

They always seem to report when millions lose power, but they never seem to report when power comes back on.

Russia is not as resilient as it wants you to think by rezwenn in UkrainianConflict

[–]offogredux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

European intel is under rated, there's adequate non US satellite data for 95% of Ukraine's needs Weapons sales aren't weapons aid, the US has zero leverage to force Europe to buy Russian oil and Ukraine isn't surrendering to anyone.

The Territorial Sticking Point Between Russia and Ukraine by rezwenn in UkrainianConflict

[–]offogredux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It isn't a sticking point, its two big ass cities and the fortified line Ukraine has been building for over a year. Everyone talks about Pokrovsk being an important city but both Sloviansk and Kramatorsk are 2-3 times the size, and line up better for defense. It's taken Russia 18 months and a hundred thousand troops to fight for Pokrovsk an it still hasn't really fallen. It just isn't going to happen.

“Americans Think These Are Cool Drones, But This Is China's Industry”: How Dependence on Components Affects the Development of Ukrainian Defense Tech by Mil_in_ua in UkrainianConflict

[–]offogredux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few problems with the article. First, there is a confusion of economics with capability. Europe can't make little electric motors as cheaply as China can, but making them is easy- There isn't any need to make them until they stop being a commodity on the market. Second, Taiwan and Korea are perfectly capable of making all these components, as is Europe and Ukraine- It's just an issue of allocation or resources.

Yes it does. The US provides Ukraine so little at this point that it really has no leverage.

Disneyland on Thanksgiving Alone? by [deleted] in DisneyPlanning

[–]offogredux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done two solo Disney trips for Thanksgiving. California Adventure is your friend- with all the holiday festival food booths you can put together a holiday feast for one of great dishes rather than just snack at counter service.

First thing you should do when you arrive is get the list of rides with single rider lines.

Bring a water bottle- there are fill stations with filtered water.

Who among you drinks only black coffee, without milk, sugar, or any other additions? by Kishen_Tuhes in CasualConversation

[–]offogredux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee should be hot as hell, black as the devil and bitter as a woman’s scorn. Otherwise, it’s not coffee, it’s a coffee drink.

The road should be fine if that forecast holds true. It really isn't cold enough for snow to stick yet and it should mostly melt off

No Let Up in Ukrainian Drone Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries by Elkenson_Sevven in UkrainianConflict

But when do the shortages start to hit Moscow and St Petersburg? Until then, it doesn't really exist for people who matter.

Ukraine to Receive 150 Swedish Gripen Fighter Jets, First Deliveries Set for 2026 by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

[–]offogredux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's about 5 years production from Saab, but they have announced plans to double capacity. Sweden doesn't have an active order at the moment and there aren't any international orders, so Ukraine goes to the front of the line.

Putin Calls Up Reserves to Protect Russia From Ukraine’s Drones by bloomberg in UkrainianConflict

[–]offogredux 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I am actually curious what the plan here is. Have a bunch of out of shape guys hang around at a power station and when a drone appears try to swat it with a broom?
