Yes, and the highest point in this route was 230m above sea level, requiring 22.8x the uphill ‘push’ that atmosphere could provide.

But even if the highest point was below 10m and friction was not an issue, you would need hundreds of kilometers of perfectly airtight ‘vacuumed’ pipes. If air leaks into the pipes somewhere along their length, the flow stops.

Yup, that should also keep the greens safe a while longer!

Oh, paper towels, what can’t you do?

I did a Google search and the recommendation is to put the paper towel over the mouth of the recipient the greens are in, or just shoved in the bag with them if that’s where they are.

OP seems to be mass-copying LPTs from someredditwhere or something.

This is the best description. Your gif embedded for visibility:

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Did we just hit the corner?

…It feels weird to catch myself making a joke about death and maiming. I used to be opposed to taking lightly the death of Russian soldiers in the first few months of the war. I assumed that most of them were there against their will. At this point though I feel that only the worst kind of human would fight on the Russian side. And it seems I have no more compassion for them… At all.

Just trying to imagine what he feels like overloads my “chuffed” meter… I would probably pull a George Constanza, declare the war over and just leave on a high note.

Qu’est que le fuck, Belgium?

Looks like Russia managed to cobble together one more tank.

One ping only.

I… I don’t understand what the joke is here. Not even the explainxkcd mentions any kind of humor outside of the alt text. What am I missing?

The exact purpose of this facility remains unknown.

I was hoping for more clues on that. It sounds like an easy thing to disrupt so I can’t imagine they’d try manufacturing anything. The only thing that makes sense to me would be a distribution point to send the power further on into the Russian grid.

According to a confidential email, DR is in possession of, production is expected to start December 1. According to the confidential email, the company FPRT, which was founded by Fire Point, which is behind the “flamingo” missile, will produce solid rocket fuel at an address close to Air Station Skrydstrup.

Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen (V) has long announced that there are Ukrainian defence companies on the way to start production in Denmark.

Now DR can tell you who one of the companies is and where it should be.

This is the company FPRT, which was founded by Fire Point, which is the company behind Ukraine’s brand new long-range “flamingo” cruise missile, which they have reportedly recently used to hit a FSB base in Crimea.

A missile, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has called Ukraine’s “most successful.”

The production will take place just on the other side of the fence from Air Station Skrydstrup, where the Danish F-35 fighter jets are housed.

This is shown by a confidential email sent around among ministries and agencies that DR has come into possession of. It also appears that production is scheduled to start on 1 December this year.

Here you can read that FPRT must produce solid rocket fuel.

Fast rocket fuel turns on quickly and can deliver a powerful and stable combustion, making it suitable for, among other things, missiles and military purposes.

Unlike liquid rocket fuel, it doesn’t need to be refuelled just before launching, and it’s easier to handle and store.

Prevent the “flamingo” missile uses solid rocket fuel. The “Flamingo” missile is being produced by Ukrainian Fire Point. It has a range of 3,000 kilometers.

Further in the mail, it says that it will use the new controversial law that gives the government unprecedented power to disregard other laws and citizens’ right to complain if a project serves significant national defense goals or civil emergency purposes.

The law is due to be voted through next week and is expected to take effect from mid-September.

• The purpose of the consultation is to ensure that all ministries and agencies with relevant areas of responsibility have the opportunity to submit comments as well as assess whether there is further regulation to be waived in order for the company to be established and initiate its production on 1 December 2025, says the mail.

The company FPRT has already received a Danish CVR number. In addition, a Danish website has been set up, where the company writes that it is “in the process of a large project”, where it “establishes modern production facilities in Vojens”.

• We work with designing and manufacturing parts for rocket engines. We test and approve our products at special test facilities that are located in a different place than where the production takes place.

“Our work supports programs that are very important for Denmark’s defence,” they wrote.

Oof. Look at the seating positions at that table. Things have changed, but that’s not a good look, glancing back. Europe has some guilt for the current situation. I hope we continue to move firmly towards repairing it.

NO TANKY

It was more like: “sure, I invited Epstein to my house, but you should see all the other rapists I’ve been inviting to my house. [Lists off a few names.] Raping children is widespread in New York.” I’m not even paraphrasing that much.

It’s not even about the high road, it’s that it wouldn’t help end the war at all. It would most likely hinder it, by wasting resources and increasing popular support for the war among Russians.

Russia can totally win. A peace of compromise, full of territorial concessions, lack of reparations or security guarantees… any of these things are a victory for Russia and a disastrous defeat for Ukraine and Europe.

Russia can absolutely win if serious measures are not taken very decisively. We are on a precipice.
