As long as you have a TPM.

It also takes 15 minutes to upgrade to Linux, with no such requirement.

Exam period going hard, huh?

Why couldn't he do both at the start of the term?

Yeah if he did this 3-4 years ago, it would have made a dent, now it's nothing but virtue signaling.

It's a good question what "loss" means here. A total disorganized rout is also a total loss, even though some men might be recoverable and still in fighting shape. The hardware is cooked though. And actually, a rout usually means the Ukrainians get to capture it, so there's your new tank.

And I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to find where hundreds of North Koreans ended up near Kursk, with them not speaking any language anyone would understand and not knowing the area.

The Kursk front has some of the biggest single hits the Ukrainians have delivered to Russian manpower though. Remember the troop convoys where artillery hits were killing dozens to hundreds of soldiers all at once since the freshly mobilized troops didn't know where to go and were just sitting densely packed in trucks on the road?

I know "it will still happen later", but the fact that it didn't happen right now has already saved lives.

What I don't understand about the whole thing is that targeting the Dem representatives already has happened. Not just Jan 6th, one idiot tried to murder Pelosi, and bashed her husband's head in with a hammer.

I just can't see Pelosi as human after not going after the fascists and sitting in the lukewarm shit for a bit more. I don't know how the hell didn't she make it her life's mission to see at least some justice for that.

Of the many things that can be publicly subsidised and made available to the public at large, car travel to one of the densest areas of the country might not be one of the most worthy.

He's a CS student, surely he could learn some hacking skills and access some internal communications that exposes illegal activity, no? That takes longer, but is probably more effective at actually sparking change than murder.

It would be swept under the rug, maybe get prosecuted and fined for q token amount.

There are three ways just off the top of my head that this improves the situation.

It puts fear into the people murdering the masses through policy, other CEOs might think twice now.

It makes people think and talk about this, and put the topic of healthcare CEOs being murderers into the public discourse.

It showcases that public support, actually bipartisan public support exists for positive change, it's just not on the ballot. Some smart politician might figure out how to ride that wave into office.

Soviet-style battalions are half that size though. They usually get augmented with more hardware and are then used as independent units, in what the Russians call a Battalion Tactical Group.

If they lost a battalion, that's 500-600 people, if they lost the whole BTG, it's 700-800.

He stands wherever he's told to stand by his constituents, unlike most.

I mean, he's not wrong, but apparently saying the quiet part out loud became a faux pas in Hungary recently.

It's not as pithy as Orbán's "Rosatom will buy it for me" about RTL Hungary though.
