  • Man watching that in real time was crazy. Putin left Moscow ahead of their arrival. But realizing they were undermanned, it sounds like Putin gave him the opportunity to disperse Wagner to various other theaters to remove their threat. I believe Africa was a big one, some were absorbed by Belarus. I’m sure a lot were given the choice to immediately return to the front lines with what they had on them or face execution.

    Regardless, The Chef must have known if he backed down, he was dead.

    I’m not exactly sure why he agreed on a flight out of Russia, maybe he thought it was safer because of the size of collateral damage? And as well all know Putin gives 0 fucks about that, and we also know the way his enemies die is always a message. An anti-aircraft missile against an attempted coup leader was loud, big, and obviously intentional. He told all the other “would be coup attempts” that it’s not going to be polonium tea, or novichok, or defenestration - it’s public execution with innocents if necessary.



  • Three weeks ago, Ms Giuffre posted on Instagram to say she had been seriously injured in a car accident, which her family later said she had not intended to make public. Local police later disputed the severity of the crash.

    This part makes me wonder. If I remember at the time of it, it was a kidney injury that without dialysis would have given about 4 days to live. She recently split up with her husband after 22 years. I’ll start by saying dialysis isn’t fun. The emotional rollercoaster she has been on would devastate anyone.

    That being said, all of this would not have happened if she hadn’t been trafficked. I maintain an opinion that traumatic crimes result in suicide, then the perpetrators are murderers.

    Regardless if she died by her own action or not, she was murdered.

    With that opinion stated. Yeah. Without a lot more information I’m sort of expecting the suicide to be self-intlicted gunshot wounds to the back of her head while her hands were tied.







  • Ok so I have an 85mm micro whoop. Or had i probably should toss the batteries. Those batteries last 3 minutes tops, so you’d be limited to maybe a round trip of 3km, 5km if you let it die where you send it.

    That’s not carrying anything, that’s just remote surveillance. I get how that can be insanely useful on the battlefield, but if you attach a 20km fiber optic cable (without adding in friction of the cable and air resistance) on an 85mm it’s going a fat lot of nowhere. It’s about 125g per meter of fiber optic.

    Unless the drones you’re talking are tiny ultralight plane things with some incredible battery, I don’t see any tiny drone with that kind of range.

    Unless! Unless, and I don’t find it very likely, but there’s some other power delivery going on I don’t know about.



  • TBH I sort of thought the tools to create convincing deepfakes are more expensive than small actors can produce.

    Like you need VRAM. Idk about the new 5090s, but my 7900XTX has 24GB and I don’t think that’s enough. (Plus it doesn’t implement the tensorflow thing AI needs I think).

    Then you need an insane amount of face data. And someone like JD Vance is almost always using the same expression in the same light. You can’t just take a porn and put for on it any better than you already could with Photoshop.

    You, of course, could create a Google training environment thing. But that ain’t cheap, and now Google knows you be doin illegal shit.

    So this law really applies to big time actors. People with wealth, time, and influence. Of course Musk would go after it.
