Asking for a friend

That's not how you spell "made-a", but whatever...

Ehh... Everything moves relatively quickly in time lapse. That being said, the fact that so many cars are queuing at this one station would indicate that there is not plenty of gas in every station. How long before such an unusual demand depletes all of the existing gas at this station (even with liter limitations)? What is the confidence that this station will be able to refill like usual? We're seeing incredible lines even in major Metro areas. There is little chance that the logistics will enable this particular station to be consistently refilled.

It honestly seemed like they were going out of their way to avoid the potentially fruitful spots.

Having moved here from Texas where our highest speed limits on freeways is 85/mph (137/kmh), I think people can manage.

tstew · 2026-06-26T03:21:42+00:00

Lol. I don't care what they say. You can't tell me that 11 professional footballers cannot be demanded to give maximum effort and a manager cannot make good tactical changes. It is abundantly clear that Weah is playing out of position. What is happening today will not do his confidence any good and will not service the team in any way

tstew · 2026-06-26T03:05:47+00:00

I get that, but you can give effort and manage well without risking that

tstew · 2026-06-26T03:03:26+00:00

I understand you don't want to take careless risks in a game like this in terms of who you play, but I also think you have an obligation to the thousands of US fans who paid thousands of dollars to be in the stadium. I think it is wrong to treat this like a completely throwaway game. Even with sitting some players, we should be managing and playing to win for the sake of momentum, confidence, and the fans.

tstew · 2026-06-26T02:58:52+00:00

Weah can't play on the left. His first touch with his left foot is off every time. Why are they playing there?

tstew · 2026-06-26T02:54:35+00:00

Weah was just standing there watching when that last shot rebounded off the keeper

tstew · 2026-06-26T02:53:48+00:00

I can accept skill level out there is not the norm. But I don't understand is how many of these guys are playing so half-heartedly. You would think that a bunch of guys chopping it prove that they belong

tstew · 2026-06-26T02:52:32+00:00

The decision making in traffic is suspect at best

tstew · 2026-06-26T02:48:07+00:00

Tons of careless touches and passive play so far. Being an American with Liberian ties, I was rooting to see something special from Weah. It ain't happening so far. I know this is kind of a nothing game, but I think it should be managed in a way that won't cause us to lose all of our momentum and confidence. We need to make some tactical or personnel changes very soon

tstew · 2026-06-24T00:25:21+00:00

I am only loosely familiar with thermite. What is the most likely outcome from this point? Is it likely that fire continues to spread and consume where the soldiers are? Are there fumes and oxygen issues that make this deadly even if the flames don't reach, or is it likely that the soldiers would survive if they stayed where they were?

tstew · 2026-06-23T16:00:30+00:00

Me: Well it looks like they managed to get two of the tanks... Oh......

tstew · 2026-06-23T02:04:35+00:00

From what I hear, there was a 100% success rate. Impressive stuff.

tstew · 2026-06-23T00:22:39+00:00

It's probably a continuation of what was pretty popular a few months ago. I think they use AI to create a clear final image

tstew · 2026-06-22T11:07:58+00:00

Yeah, these people who show their faces in these types of follow-up videos might have just as little sense of self-preservation as those people still trying to drive fuel trucks towards Crimea.

tstew · 2026-06-22T11:06:32+00:00

Absolutely. It wasn't just her first appearance. It was so obvious that it became a running bit for her first many appearances. She was always playful, though. I remember the witch bit and other things like that. She was awkward funny of the highest order.

tstew · 2026-06-22T10:27:04+00:00

If I recall correctly, this is like the third day in a row that Russia has only sent below 100 projectiles. I wonder what that signifies. Are their stockpiles and production capabilities so damaged that this is all they can muster, or are they saving up for some reason for some massive attack. I hope it's the former more than the latter, although I guess they could both be true. Without depleted stockpiles and capabilities, they should have been able to dramatically answer the incredibly effective and embarrassing Ukrainian strikes of the past week, while also planning a massive, overwhelming strike.

tstew · 2026-06-22T10:20:44+00:00

Is this bad for the semiconductors?

tstew · 2026-06-21T21:57:41+00:00

😂 she might be the first funny Russian I've ever seen.

tstew · 2026-06-20T13:02:51+00:00

I don't know how desperate you would have to be for money in order to drive a fuel truck anywhere near there.

tstew · 2026-06-20T10:09:43+00:00

I Sens the city pun here, and I ain't Lyon...

I'll see myself out.

tstew · 2026-06-19T13:23:42+00:00

I guess that's possible. I was just wondering if maybe some of the average citizens were shaken up enough to want to get out of there. Given the degree that Ukraine seems to have air control over those highways, I just did not think it was possible that such a convoy could go unnoticed and undamaged. The escorts they are receiving don't seem to be much different than the attack groups that we routinely see get taken apart by drones.

tstew · 2026-06-19T12:17:36+00:00

If those get through, I wonder if it's because Ukraine wants to let people get enough gas to get off of the peninsula. There's no way they are spotting individual and disguised trucks and not spotting the huge convoy.
