Isn't the whole problem that, since nobody openly talks about providers, nobody knows who the originals are? Of course, everyone can claim to be the guy at the top, but who knows?

The weird thing about the war, at least in my little American bubble is that despite the "overwhelming feeling the west has to capitulate eastern Ukraine" or any of it is... Most people I talk to barely know there's a war going on over there. They certainly don't understand why. The war fatigue everyone keeps claiming does not apply. I'm starting to believe it's manufactured. Certainly, the politicians are fighting, because the Reps don't want the Dems to look like they defeated Russia. That would put them right back in office. Maybe things are different in Europe, but if I stay off the internet, there are no signs of what the media keeps talking about. Occasionally, I see a Ukrainian flag in a window, but I'd wager half the people who see that flag have no idea what country it is.

Alternatively, it could be that Russia is refusing trades. Everyone knows that Russia can "out - meat" Ukraine, and they've just installed a system in which (civilian) prisoners in Russia will be voluntold to serve. We all know that Wagner was doing something similar, but now the MoD will be doing it, en masse.

I like to think that people are downvoting for using "noone". I feel like I'm stroking out when I read that.

Probably not frugal, but instant pot changed my life, in regards to soaking beans. What a time/effort saver.

Can only speak for me, and the people I talk to, but the rates are less the issue. It certainly factors in, but the high total costs with no adjustments to wages means we've fallen into a gray zone where we really don't want to rent, but are forced to. I work in a hospital, and the people over ~40 are in houses that they are deathly afraid to get out of, and those of us under ~40 are renting, hoping something changes, or an asteroid strikes. Either one would be good, now.

I thought that, too, but it turns out they have nothing to worry about. I think putting smartphones in everyone's face bought them a hundred years.

TIME reviewed the job contracts, which it said required a one-year commitment, but came with an enlistment fee and a payout for the families of recruits if they are killed in action.

Uh... This seems pretty straightforward, to me.

Gosling, too. Jim Carrey repped us really well, more than most of them, though Mike Meyers is up there, also.

Sorry, what was that last part? You trailed off.

I see ammo conservation is not a concern.

He gets posted by pro Russian war supporters, a lot, who act like he represents what America really wants. That should tell you enough about the guy.
