The good part about working from home: My boss can't tell me to travel on dangerous roads to get to work.

Of course, then there's the downside. Can't call in saying you'll be late because the roads are terrible. Unless my house's stairs are packed with snow (in which case I have a much bigger problem), I can get to work no matter how bad the weather.

>" to "I can't see 1ft from my face,

From what I've heard, this proved deadly for a few people. They went out to shovel, got turned around, and literally couldn't see where their house was. They died from the cold because they literally couldn't see where their house was. They could have been 5 feet away - a couple seconds walk - from safety, but they couldn't tell which way to go.

From what I heard, some people went out of their houses to shovel and the wind/snow were so bad that they had no visibility. They couldn't find their way back to their houses and wound up freezing to death. It's insane to think that some of the people who died night have been mere feet away from safety, but couldn't see it and didn't know which direction to walk to get back.

>And its all going to melt next weekend when it hits 55F+ for us… which means the lake won’t freeze so more insanity is coming.

This is what some people don't realize when they say "global warming can't be real because look at all that snow!" Setting aside that weather isn't climate, warmer weather can actually mean more snow - especially in places like Buffalo. If the lakes froze over, lake effect snow would be lessened. (I don't know if it would have helped in this storm specifically, just talking generally.) However, with warmer weather, the lakes don't freeze which means more lake effect snow.

This isn't Ukrainian propaganda. It's pretty well known facts. Russia's vehicles went out to battle with major, preventable issues due to poor maintenance due on large part to massive corruption in Russia. (Money earmarked for repairs was pocketed by various people along the way ) They were unable to provide a decent supply chain to their troops.

They are running low on munitions and weaponry to the point that they're taking WW2 era tanks out of mothballs and sending them to the field. The sanctions mean that Russia can't get the high tech parts they need for modern weaponry so they've been scavenging CPUs from washing machines and getting weapons from North Korea and Iran.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian troops have been training with NATO. NATO countries, like the UK, will take Ukrainian troops to their country (away from the conflict), train them for 6 months, and then send them back to Ukraine.

Russia has been losing territory quickly to Ukrainian forces. At this point, Russia's only hope is to bomb civilian infrastructure to try to break the country because they can't match up with the Ukrainian forces.

It doesn't matter how many soldiers Russia sends if they don't have weaponry, training, ammunition, food, etc.

There are many accounts of new Russian conscripts being given a week or less of training and then sent to the front lines with barely functioning weapons. Russia's top tank brigade - the one that supposedly was trained to go toe to toe with NATO forces - was routed so badly that they abandoned their tanks. (Well, what tanks weren't destroyed.)

Russia is having severe problems supplying their troops. If they can't fix this then it doesn't matter how many soldiers they send into combat. Those soldiers will get killed/captured by Ukrainian forces.

Yes I did. It was one of my favorites growing up. I'm still upset that it got cancelled before Peter could find MJ.

It's canon that Spider-Man's webs dissolve after a few hours.

"I regret lots of things!"

Greene is already mad that the media is spreading the truth and not her little conspiracy theory.

>Yury Filatov said: "There is no way around the fact that by engaging with the Ukrainian military, be it on mines or otherwise, Ireland would clearly be involved in the ongoing conflict in a direct way."

It sounds to me like Russia is desperate to say that other nations are actively helping Ukraine fight the war (beyond supplying arms and training). I think they recognize that they're losing and would rather say "it's because we were fighting all of NATO and Ukraine" rather than "we couldn't beat that tiny country on our border."

Of course, the scary part is whether they'll believe their own propaganda and decide to "counterattack" to retaliate for "NATO forces helping Ukraine."

I get ads for the metaverse all the time in a mobile game that I play. It touts how useful the metaverse will eventually be, but I keep noticing that people can do this using existing computers without expensive VR headsets that die after an hour.

For example, the ad said that city planners could study traffic patterns to lessen congestion. They show a bunch of people around a table with a holographic city display showing roads/traffic. Except, you don't need 3D virtual reality to model traffic. You can do this right now using any computer off the shelf.

The metaverse is a very expensive solution in search of a problem.

The last eclipse, I made a cereal box viewer. It worked exceptionally well and the only cost was the cereal box, a small amount of tape, a tiny bit of aluminum foil. Even ignoring that you're getting cereal to eat, this viewer only costs about $3.
