They don’t like Ukranians because Russia doesn’t like Ukraine. It’s not a racial thing.

They’re waiting to see if Trump is in office. He can be bought for fairly cheap.
Are these even street legal in the US? Our safety standards are obscene. Air bags alone cost 5k.
It’s why Tata never released a vehicle here.
I’m racist is all you’ve got for that? Really? Brilliant rebuttle.
That’s correct…I think they should both rot in prison…but only one was let go. Why is that?
She also disregarded a state department directive that Russia is a dangerous country to go to for Americans.
So, not only was she above the law, she felt she was above the US government’s intelligence department as well.
She’s put national security at risk and we all fucking paid for Biden making an appeal to black voters.
I feel superior that I never had to release a person in the top 10 wanted list because I really needed my drugs.
That’s a reasonable position however you want to spin it.
Don’t play the lawful card.
Really? That’s your defense for breaking the law…“Don’t worry about the law”?
Don’t go to Asia if that’s your attitude. They make Russia look like a vacation resort.
100m cables blowing in the wind are incredibly difficult to work
They’re enclosed. No wind.
Yea, no…If you’re going to cross into another country, make sure you respect the laws of said country. Next time she’ll hopefully leave her drugs at home.
Yea, I agree with that. If the landscape is conducive to it, hydro makes more sense.
I think they’re both very cool chunks of engineering.
Are wenches simpler than big ass hydro pumps? Don’t know…plus you have to deal with water evaporating and erosion.
The level of effort seems comparable.
Edit: The energy vault design is kind of brilliant in its simplicity. I had to look it up. Its a building full of modular elevator shafts that have huge weights in them. Each one has an electric engine at the top.
Excess energy means they pull the weights up. When you need energy, you regeneratively break the weight back down.
So essentially it’s one complex moving part at the top of each shaft.
That seems much easier to maintain than a giant basin of water, pumps to move the water up, turbines to capture the output, and big ass valves to control the flow.
You can put these anywhere…water storage will be environment dependent for a lot of reasons.
I don’t think either one is better, just depends on the location and application.
It’s exactly free market capitalism. It’s how the late stage free market will always play out.
Rah rah…GOOOO TEAM!!!
Simple people is correct. You might want to look up Hamas’s approval rating.
Both sides here are evil. We’re just debating which circle of hell they’re going to.
Eh…it’s terrible people killing each other. War is apt.
once currency has no meaning.
You really think those bunkers are filled with cash Scrooge McDuck style? They’ll have food, guns, and likely lots of gold. They’ll also very likely be sustainable.
Keeping the mercs fed and happy is a trivial thing.
Unfortunately their house of cards is built on a foundation of wealth…and not just fuck you money, but literal centuries of fuck you money.
The fortune 50 I worked for could literally stop doing all business and maintain their current spend for a century and still be solvent.
This isn’t unstable at all…it’s built to last for 100s of years…the current leaders to their grandkids will be safe.
To further that…the 1% have private armies and well stocked bunkers to ride out any social uprising. That’s the really scary stuff.
We are all fucked though. Enjoy the hunger games.
It’s the natural end for a free market. The big players take over and squeeze every drop of blood they can from the consumer class until the inevitable collapse or B&L buys the government.
Meh…call me when a woman holds the world record for a marathon. It might happen in the next 100 years, but I strongly doubt it.
What bugs the shit out of me about all this…of course women hunted in times of need. They also hunted small game to help the tribe as needed.
I don’t think that disrupts the overarching narrative of the male hunter and female gatherer. It’s a general rule rather than a law.
