Ah, but it's all about the context.
See, nothing was done and nothing changed, is definitely not an update.
On the other hand, "russia lost 30'000 personell in November alone, but nothing changed" is a significant update.
And yes, I'm shaving my head for some 20 years already

Aww. I like. I penguin pebbled this article some :)
Bash being ubiquitous is mildly underrated in the article. When I log into a random server, I know there will be bash.
But I agree about text as a least common denominator being too restrictive. I might give nushell a try for local stuff.
Indeed. I hope this is an indication that something big is being disinfected.
The regular numbers are absolute values of what Ukraine claims to have destroyed. The +numbers is an increase since the previous day. The percentages are of what was reported to be in the regular moscovite army at the beginning of the invasion.
Oh, but it does. True, they have no regard for human casualties, but even with their population, they cannot maintain the meatwaves forever.
Let's have a look. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia
So, 47% of their population is male. Out of 145 million of bodies they posses, males are 68 million. The percentage of 18-44 year olds is 35. That's 23 million potential soldiers.
Omg, that's one massive army, one would say.
But this is russia, we're talking about.
In June 2009, the Public Chamber of Russia reported over 500,000 alcohol-related deaths annually. They have 1.3% of population dying every year. In 2009 it meant about 1.8 million dead. 25% of those were alcohol related. That's only deaths.
They improved, but an average russian is still a professional alcoholic. Let's assume that a whooping 80% of those 23 millions are actually relatively healthy. That's 18 million potential soldiers.
Still a lot.
But it's still russia.
Apart from alcohol, it's famous for the widespread thievery. I'm not joking. https://ru-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%8C%D1%8E%D1%82_%D0%B8_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%83%D1%8E%D1%82?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
The big difference is that for last 9 years, Ukraine was at war with russia, while russia was enjoying its second army of the world status. In other words they were stealing as usual.
So yes, one can think that it is impossible to fight against an army of 18 million. But russia started this war with 800k and two years later, lost already half of them, bumped the army to two million and still is making an occasional 200 meters of progress only to lose them in a week.
Ukraine still not losing and not planning to, is what matters.
