For every kilometer along the whole front or did you mean every square kilometer?

I wanted to go to the supermarket today but I was too afraid of an attack by Cuba.

Released them? To whom? I haven't seen anything.

The South Koreans are still doing business with the Russians?

I'm always off because I clean up as I go along. I don't want a sink full of mixing bowls, cutting boards, knives, pots, etc, to clean up after dinner along with all the dishes, serving bowls, silverware, etc.

Yes.

It's close.

Due to the North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream. So ships can dock in Murmansk, Russia, above the arctic circle, because it's nice and warm in Key West, Florida.

Penza, Russia.

And Murmansk (population ~270,000) is recognized as the world's largest city located north of the Arctic Circle.

But these are the benefits of living in Russia.

THE ammunition warehouse? Thank you but WHOSE ammunition warehouse?

20.01.2026 20:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

This is in Donetsk province. Thank you for posting but in a semi-occupied province please indicate which side of the line it's on. More broadly please indicate which country an event is in.

Oh, I agree. Was there years ago. I remember my draw dropping open as I saw, one right after the other, dozens of familiar impressionist paintings that I had only seen in magazines staring me right in the face, surprisingly bright and colorful.

Yeah, they don't take into account, "Honey, where do we keep the spatulas?"

I've got a 65 year old Boy Scouts merit badge for rowing. I don't want to give it away if he already has that one. He's probably got most of them.

I think he should also get Best Actor Oscar. And maybe a Superball ring. Also the Nobel Prize for physics. There's probably some mathematical award that he should have gotten too. Wasn't he some kid of expert on differential equations? Should also get a Grammy and ski jumping Gold Medal.

16.01.2026 03:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Right, plus engineers.

15.01.2026 15:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, can you imagine paying 20 local police officers to arrest an unarmed person?

15.01.2026 03:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Interesting, but I don't think this is a real photo. When you first look at it you think how interesting the shadows are with the physical objects, but the shadows don't line up. And some are missing. I mean maybe I can't see it but I don't think its real.

Thank you for the information. It would really help those of us who don't have all the Ukrainian and Russian towns memorized to let us know which country the towns are in and even if in Ukraine whether in an occupied area or not.

Well good last name anyway. It means "Hungarian".

12.01.2026 05:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Picture actually very well done.

Regarding the "training" of these people, does it usually take 24 people to arrest one person? Can you imagine the expense of your local police department if that was normal. These are totally untrained and untrainable losers. Plus it was probably some innocent person.

12.01.2026 04:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You're right. I hadn't noticed that. So they're walking around without the safety on and with their fingers on the triggers. Obviously no training, neither formsl nor by daddy back home.

Right. Plunged? Did he/she mean $1,000,000 a day?

Rest in peace, Nicole. I am praying for your son.

I assume these are Celsius temperatures? Should be rquired to use unit symbol like every other scientific notation.

6 km is long range?

Yeah but now that they're using donkeys you don't even need bearings.
