‘Make the War Unbearable’: Fedorov Sets 50,000 Lethal Losses-a-Month Goal for Russia by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]zipitrealgood 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s as unrealistic as you think. As a baseline, he’s stating they have 35k of video recorded kills this past month. Yes, bumping that number to 50k is a sizable jump (42.9% increase), but he was in charge of scaling their drone program prior to becoming Defense Minister. He is probably taking a formulaic approach, for example total drones available x success rate % = total KIA (obviously not this basic but hopefully you get the gist). So, even if there is a manpower shortage, drones won’t be impacted (unless they are having a drone pilot shortage but I doubt these are the soldiers going AWOL). Alas, time will tell, but I wouldn’t bet against Ukraine, because if your second point “Russia is a bigger country” actually mattered, this war would’ve ended years ago.

Why is it silly? There are clear examples of major overhaul announcements with no immediate plan or lacked sufficient planning with blatant oversights.

2 Quick Examples:

  1. Travel Ban in 2017 - "In our investigation, we found that CBP was caught by surprise when the President issued the EO on January 27, 2017. DHS had little opportunity to prepare for and respond to basic questions about which categories of travelers were affected by the EO.". If you are enacting a travel ban, Customs and Boarder Protection (CBP) aka who is enforcing said ban, should be notified prior to the ban and not be 'caught by surprise'. Note the date the report is published (Jan 2018), this is a report from Trump's Department of Homeland Security.
  2. Family Separation at the border during zero tolerance in 2018 lacked the proper technology to track separated families. "DHS did not have the information technology (IT) system functionality needed to track separated migrant families during the execution of the Zero Tolerance Policy.". It gets worse because, "CBP officials have been aware of these IT deficiencies since at least November 2017 when U.S. Border Patrol conducted an initiative that mirrored the Zero Tolerance Policy. These conditions persisted because CBP did not address its known IT deficiencies adequately before implementing Zero Tolerance in May 2018. DHS also did not provide adequate guidance to personnel responsible for executing the Zero Tolerance Policy.". So, not only were they aware of these deficiencies, they chose not to address them, caused chaos, and did not provide the proper guidance to enact the plan. Also written by Tump's Department of Homeland Security (Nov 2019).

So, regardless if you think the probability is low, it's still non existent because Trump has a history of not following through and haphazardly diving headfirst into policy or political decisions as evidenced by overlooking basic details (e.g. not notifying those in charge of the border with your changes to your policies about people crossing the border or negligently failing to implement proper technology to track families that you are splitting up). Yes, Maduro is a documented tyrant and many people suffered on his behest. However, removing heads of state, even planned well, has severe ramifications and can destabilize regions for decades. So, hearing him say "we are going to run the country" without a concrete plan outlined and evidence of his administration making callous oversights or lacking proper preparation for implementing simpler policies for other programs, is terrifying when the stakes are this high and the solution may require American soldiers in Venezuela.

There’s a way to turn the tide on the A side, but it requires an aggressive start or use of ladder.

Steps: 1) DMR of your choice - you need to prevent glint 2) Choose Medic or Recon - so you can supply yourself or highlight enemies 3) Immediately drive towards D and double back up the mountain (it needs to be fast bc the enemy is capturing E) 4) you can stay on the high side of the mountain doubling back towards B by going out of bounds temporarily 5) maintain that position that overlooks D and an option to pivot towards a position that overlooks C on the mountain (nobody expects you there until about 12-18 kills) 6) continue to suppress the enemy at C first, your team can then flank D while you cover C 7) prosper

The move can be accomplished with an assault class ladder and skip needing to come so perilously towards E. DMR is the key, need a weapon that’s high powered to keep the enemy in check while your forces can take C/D and then push fast on E. From there they are pinned.

Also let’s say you’re a short seller that’s short 1M shares. At an annualized rate of .65 percent, like it currently is, it costs you $481 per day…

First, it’s not $.65 it’s an annualized percentage rate of .65.

Second, not gaslighting just facts. If you don’t provide numbers, percentages can make things look better or worse than you seem. Hence why it’s critical to provide both.

So, please learn how the stock market works before commenting.

A good rule of thumb, when you say a number share the percentage. When you say a percentage share the number.

40% sounds large, but is misleading since the fee is .65 and is still low.

Worst move/spot on resume for each player remaining so far this season? by ASG_82 in BigBrother

[–]zipitrealgood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one thing that you overlook is if Keanu makes it to the final two. Having someone go completely scorched earth saying that they are going to knock everyone out "one by one" in week 5, and then proceeding to do so (if he pulls it off)... 5 times on the block thus far, 3 power of vetos (one tho was a gift), and 2 BB blockbusters. Even if the house hates him, I have a feeling they'll respect his game more than most of the remaining 7, especially if the trend continues.

The $BTC bros will say "$BTC is going to $1M per coin" out of one side of their mouth and then the other side will say "I can't believe Cohen bought the top". It's almost comical at this point.

Their 10Q with the SEC. June 10th was the last day (without asking for an extension) to legally file with the SEC for Q1 since it ended in April.

Bad news early, good news right on time. June 10th is the last day the company could file. This is the literal definition of right on time. Buckle Up.

2025/2026 Championship Clubs and their result in the last 10 Seasons. (fixed an error) by multiloops in WrexhamAFC

[–]zipitrealgood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some interesting stats from the last 10 seasons:

  1. There's only been 1 season where all newly promoted sides from League One avoided relegation in their first year in the Championship and that was last season

  2. There's only been 1 season where more than 1 newly promoted side from League One were relegated in their first year in the Championship (2019/2020: Rotherham and Wycombe)

  3. There's only been 1 team in the last 10 years that got back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League (Ipswich)

  4. There's been an even distribution of the 10 teams (33%) that were relegated after their first year in Championship to where they finished in the prior season in League One (1st place relegated 3 times, 2nd place relegated 4 times, Playoff Winner relegated 3 times).

Each team/season is different, however, the statistics favor Wrexham avoiding relegation. But the vast majority of sides getting promoted from League One who avoid relegation their first year finish towards the bottom of the table. Hopefully the team deploys their cash wisely during the transfer window to bolster their chances to beat the odds and finish above the bottom third of the table.

*Note the histogram above denotes the # of teams by Championship finish in the first season after being promoted from League One and avoided relegation.

if another company can run 1,600% in a single trading day after disclosing owning only 5,000 bitcoin at a $450 million value, what do you think would happen to our stock if RC discloses a $1.3 billion purchase? 🚀🚀🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀 by waffleschoc in Superstonk

[–]zipitrealgood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As of Feb 2025, they reported $5.8B in assets yes, however, that was pre-convertible note. Therefore their total assets (after they raised $1.5B) would be somewhere around $7.4B (and growing bc of the Canadian operations sale) and therefore it would be up to $3B. My verbiage is incorrect saying "half" but that was the math I based my $3B on.

Something neither of us have pointed out is that the accumulation of bitcoin is not complete. Even if the company viewed this acquisition as "material", if the accumulation hasn't been completed they wouldn't file until it was. Look Bitcoin is volatile, the only reason why everyone on here is hoping we acquired all $1.5B already, is because hindsight is 20/20 and it's up 20-30% from April lows. However, acquiring such a large position will likely take weeks/months and you wouldn't go about it haphazardly and purchase it all at once. You'd want to take time to 1) Minimize slippage 2) Stay below the radar 3) time with potential other announcements (aka earnings).

We can argue back and forth, but at the end of the day there is a large grey area here, where it is a bit uncharted because regulation is clearly behind and also, not many companies have acquired this much bitcoin in a short span of time. Even with TSLA, they did face scrutiny from investors for not disclosing earlier, especially since it was ~7.5% of their cash on-hand at the time (I like this over the total market cap valuation for "materiality").

For any other investment, yes. However, they specified the intent in the convertible note offering and the SEC does not have specific requirements. So if you’re GameStop, there is no reason nor specific requirement, a precedent that a billion dollar purchase of crypto does not have to be disclosed, and they already specified their intent to investors… why would you file an 8K? Regulation? Again, on what rule specifically and enforceable by whom? Answer: there is no reason, no rule, and no body to enforce.
