An interesting video showing a Russian soldier poking through a pile of abandoned food, including rotten bread and tinned pickled cucumber soup. It was dumped a few kilometres from the front lines by Russian supply troops, who refused to take it any further because of Ukrainian drone attacks. Meanwhile, as the soldier makes very clear, he, and his fellow frontline fighters, are going hungry. While we mainly see the "glamorous" attacks, showing tanks and fighting vehicles being destroyed, the day to day destruction of simple supply trucks by these drones also has a big detrimental effect on Russian morale. Given that the advances in the first days of the invasion petered out due to poor supply logistics, it would seem the Russians haven't learnt any lessons at all and still can't effectively keep their army supplied and fed.

I was walking down the street and a woman shouted "bargain!" at me. "Thanks", I said, "that means a great deal".

Saw a bloke today beating the hell out of a scouring pad with a claw hammer. I thought, "ah, that's the way to hammer brillo".

Everyone knows Count Doku, the character from Star Wars. But his wife Sue? She’s quite a puzzle to figure out.

Obviously not selling like... ...

Looks like they're letting me use up my remaining credit, but aren't giving the option of buying more - only the subscription. Bit of a bummer that, with credit, I could call multiple countries, but now it appears I have to get a subscription for each specific one. Microsoft seem determined to push everyone into a 365 subscription.

I thought they were going to be Sweep steaks.
