  • Unfortunately Super Tucanos are out of question with their current government. Neither the current nor the former president of their country is pro-Ukraine, and their two parties are the most likely to win the next election. Ukraine already tried to buy them when the conflict started, but they were rejected immediately

    Outsourced War: Inside Russia’s Foreign Mercenary Force

    Another report from Frontelligence team

    Full details in the linked article. Key takeaways below taken from https://xcancel.com/Tatarigami_UA/status/1941169819581296938

    For many in developing countries, Russia offers a chance to earn blood money they might never otherwise see. Hundreds of Cubans have taken that path, and our team Frontelligence Insight used them as a case study to find out how many foreigners are now fighting for Russia.🧵Thread

    2/ In 2023, a major data leak exposed records of hundreds of Cuban mercenaries, later investigated by @InformNapalm. We analyzed 176 personal files and found that most recruits were between 30 and 39 years old, followed by those aged 40 to 49 - with a few even over 60.

    3/ With their full names in hand, tracing their whereabouts on Russian social media was relatively easy. One mercenary in particular, Enriquez Linares Livan Michel, proved especially useful. His social media profile contained both photographs and geodata.

    More Trains for Paris | New Park in Los Angeles | Tram Extension in Warsaw, PL and Mendoza, AR

    non-YT link if you prefer: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Eart-5fuGQE

    In this episode:
    00:16 - Plans to convert airport into a park in Los Angeles, USA
    02:47 - First Alstom tram in Besançon, France
    03:35 - More trains for Paris RER network
    04:21 - Tram network expansion in Warsaw, Poland
    05:02 - Metro extension in Oslo, Norway
    06:11 - First Bozankaya battery-trolleybus in Prague, Czechia
    07:01 - Fences at the tram stops in Mendoza, Argentina

    I gotta say those fences in Mendoza look really bad, but I'm glad to see they are at least expanding their trams

  • This is another misconception addressed in the Climate Town video on this subject, with more details if you are interested:

    They might need to commute in, but they don't have to drive in. The vast majority of people going to Manhattan doesn't drive, they take the subway, buses, trains and bikes. Only 20% of the people traveling through the congestion zone is in a vehicle and only 2% of the poor drove in.

    Workers that needed to drive in wasted a lot of their valuable hours stuck in gridlock traffic, burning their own costly gasoline and being prevented from reaching their job site, costing them more than congestion pricing

  • That's a common misconception about congestion price in NY. The poor wasn't driving to Manhattan in the first place, they represented only 2%, and the money generated by congestion pricing will be reinvested back into public transport.

    Climate Town did a great video on this subject, with more details if you are interested:

    What's really bad for the poor is car centric design, where you are forced to have a car and spend, on average, $12k annually to maintain it

  • You don't need to widen roads for that. In fact, it might be the worst option due to induced demand. For the curious, see:

    More Lanes are (Still) a Bad Thing
    https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CHZwOAIect4
    https://youtu.be/CHZwOAIect4

    The quote specifically mentions "widen any roads". I haven't read Charlottesville plans, but it could have included other options like public transport and bike infrastructure.

  • It sounds like your city does not prioritize trains at all

    train was PACKED and spent 10m at every stop

    add more wagons or increase frequency for example

    then they hit a car

    intersections with car traffic are always a problem and they should be minimized

    train was every 10. Some days every 30, some days 2 in a row

    i can bet the tracks share the same space with regular roads and signaling does not prioritize public transit, which usually leads to this sort of inconsistent schedule

    that didn’t make it any easier

    that's usually the excuse used to cut funding to public transit instead of the other way around: "see it doesnt work, why waste money on it". They never mention how it's been underfunded for decades, how cars are always prioritized, and the success cases seen all around the world where it works properly

    does the train increase commerce in an area?

    stations are usually prime real state for commerce and housing due to all the foot traffic it brings. Just look at stations in Japan, they are basically big shopping malls, without all the unnecessary parking, and high towers all around for housing

    Shows like HarmonQuest?

    I just started watching it after seeing someone comment about it, and I really like it, but the show is so short that I'll probably be done by the end of the week

    Does anyone have any other recommendations?

    I have never actually played any ttrpg, but I got the itch now and I have to scratch it while I look for groups to actually play it

    How to satiate chemical hunger from prisoners?

    I forgot to feed a prisoner recently, which led to them going on berserk mode, so I'm trying to avoid more trouble. Is it possible to give a prisoner something for chemical hunger?

    I had a pawn go to a random cell to smoke some smokeleafs, but I'm unable to figure out how to make them pick up any chemicals to drop to a prisoner

    No mods, all DLCs

    Can't I butcher animals killed by spike traps?

    I'm only able to haul them to a shelf, where they keep decaying until they become a skeleton

    I just had two man eating raccoons killed, one by a shot, another by a trap

    I was able to butcher the one that was shot , got the leather and meat from it. Butcher table has bill to butcher forever

    But the other one I can't do anything with it

    I have another dozen skeletons on my shelves that might have had the same problem

    no mods enable, just base games and all dlcs

    First time playing this, so I'm still learning the ropes

    Ban player from taking free kick?

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/42264476

    Is it possible to have a player Banned from taking free kicks?

    I have a CB that's 2m tall, with 17 jumping reach, but as he is the second best FK taker, he's usually there to take them when the 1st one isnt in the roster

    I tend to rotate a lot, so I'd need to add 20 other players to take FK for 8 different FK options, which would be a hassle lol

    Must visit parks outside the USA?

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40425728

    I was planning a trip to the USA to visit their parks, which seem to be amazing, but due to recent daily shenanigans involving immigrants, I'll have to post pone the visit

    With that in mind, I'm looking for alternatives, any recommendations? I have 30 days and I'd prefer to be limited to 1 airplane ticket if visiting more than one park in this period. Multiple train connections or other transport alternatives are fine

    Did newtab settings for topSites change with 136.0.2-1?

    Does anyone know if anything changed with the new tab settings?

    I used to have this custom userContent.css to add more columns to topSites described below, but it is no longer working after I updated :/

    folder named "chrome" and file named "userContent.css" are still there
