It's fairly straightforward with gyprock/sheetrock whatever the brand -it's all gypsum board anyway.

You can just cut a straight line with a sharp X-acto knife, remove the damaged part, smooth edges and fit in the new piece and the refinish the wall. No need to tear the whole wall down for a new sheet.

No, you place a metal strip over it. That's how professional window & door installers like me do it in Europe.

Like this

Even easier, use painted steel. You can find it ready made from any decent ironmonger shop.

Russian Oligarchs like to buy properties in places such as Cyprus, Monaco and London, I'd be surprised if none of them include their own private docking for the yacht.

And you expect the current Russian ones to be that much better when a single good hit from Javelin will literally toss the whole tank into air? Russia had matching modern tanks but they're few or nothing but vaporware & concepts. What they've been using are outdated holdovers from the '90s with some mandatory upgrades.

People have already been whining how some odd 200 tanks ain't doing much... When it's not about the numbers but how you deploy them in the field -200 tanks in one sector supported by infantry & artillery is a lot, peppered throughout the country -not so much.

> pretending to know what I'm talking about

By admitting this, you're immediately 100% more reliable than 99% of Reddit users /s

Not to mention that rooting out corruption is important for their war effort, Ukraine lost Crimea because of wide-spread corruption in the military and nobody in Ukraine wants a repeat of that.

> But Ukraine has huge problem with corruption

Yes, yes they do have a lot of problems with it but this gets the ball rolling and hopefully the initiative will carry onward after Zelensky presidency and war times as well.

And gigantic mansions...

Should have been in place since the day one when the first foreign aid started coming in, but it's still good that they're implementing a system to track it.

If the war keeps going more than 2 years It's going to be the end of Russia... Assuming Ukraine can hold as well as it has done so far.

Abrams in desert storm... It was a complete slaughter for the 'modernized' Iraqi T-72s, they literally couldn't even see their enemy before they were already hit.

And that was 30 years ago, proposed Challengers, Leos and Leclercs are much more modern than those American Abrams were back then and Abrams itself has had a few iterations to it since then.

The Soviet-era tanks Russia is still using won't have a chance and I'm not sure how many are T-90s or newer from the ones they actually field.

Yeah IPA or IsoPranolAlcohol products work really well on removing paint marks and won't damage paint or lacquer.

No need, it likely looks close to this one in Normandy, once the war is over and the Russians keep burying them instead of cremating. Though likely not as nice as the one in the video but the size matches.

Nicknamed as Putin's Chef by the international press.

Like the part in their constitution which explicitly forbids "wars of aggression" to be fought... Putin hand-waved this by declaring the war as "Special operation".

And likely in typical Russian fashion a thick wad of cash handed to local Wagner Brigade-General who takes the pile and admits that "war doesn't need one man" and lets him get off easy by putting the guy into laundry-duty for 6 months or something instead of being in the reserve-list for the next suicide-wave at Bahmut.

And if they do that... Thre's some VERY juicy targets in the Karelian peninsula to retaliate in kind, such as in Vyborg and Koivisto oil refineries and gas relay-stations and it's not like St.Pete itself is far from Finnish artillery POV.

Though realistically anything like that to happen would mean that diplomatically things would have already gone sideways and been gang-raped in a dark alley with a blunt object between EU/Finland & Russia.

No, Lapland was the "last bastion" of paganism in Western Europe.

Last witch drum burning and destruction of the remaining sacred Siidas were done at the early 19th century.

In Russia most Finnic groups have basically syncretised their animism with Orthodoxy creating a kind of pseudo-christianity with elements from both.

And apparently Göbekli Tepe wasn't permanently settled but rather a gathering spot for annual meets and religious festivals for local semi-pastoral communities.

Leca beans on top of the plastic should work.

One foot of beans roughly corresponds with 10cm Styrofoam for insulation values.
