Chairman of the board of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said that it will not be possible to completely avoid blackouts yet - the restrictions will continue in summer, autumn and winter.

“Warming has somewhat reduced the level of electricity consumption in Ukraine. And this will probably make it possible not to disconnect consumers during the night and in the morning, as was the case last week," said Kudrytskyi.

Not very good labor at that, but they've been used to being screwed over for eons now, and work ethic reflects this. North Koreans might be looking for jobs

I have been off grid fishing for a few days. Has Kharkiv been liberated? Has Russia started its amphibious assault on Odessa? Seriously has anything significant happened?

a civil war that stretches across 11 time zones, with access to nuclear weapons. Understandable, but that outcome is unavoidable at this point.

Putin declared Iran’s dead scumbag President was ‘true friend of Russia’.

Do you actually know any US workers?

I would say, estimating optimistically, about 40% of the US has good work ethic.

There are so many actual reasons why Russia products are piss poor besides your weird need to bash an entire ethnicity. But if I lived in Ukraine right now I guess I'd be mad too.

Actually, Ukraine did convert more of the black sea fleet into submersibles.

Crappie. I caught a few but the main thing was that I got to turn my phone off 4 days.

That is good. The wildlife in the Black Sea needs all the help it can get after the environmental damage the Soviet Union caused.

Russian propaganda links Kyiv, Washington to Raisi's helicopter crash death

May 20, 2024, 07:45 AM

Russian propagandists are attempting to spin a narrative alleging the involvement of Ukraine and the United States in the accident, following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in the crash of a Mi-171 helicopter on May 19.

However, the guidelines suggest not overdoing it, limiting themselves to hints that allow the audience to draw the "right" conclusions.

For example, RT's Margarita Simonyan drew parallels between Raisi's death, the recent assassination attempt on pro-Kremlin Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, and the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy (1963) and Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme (1986).

"Sh*t happens. But it happens most reliably with careful professional preparation by the sh*tmasters," she wrote on social media.

Russian State Duma member and Liberal Democratic Party leader Leonid Slutsky extended this conspiracy chain, adding another link.

"A number of May events, including the assassination attempts on the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Prime Minister of Slovakia, are being lined up in a certain chain of 'tragic coincidences.' We cannot rule out any versions here," he said, commenting on the Mi-171 crash.

Simonyan's colleague Yevgeniy Popov called the Russian helicopter one of the "most reliable in the world."

"I would not be surprised at all if the crash was the result of an attack on the Iranian president," he said.

Meanwhile, "political scientist" Sergei Markov alleged that edits to the Wikipedia article on the Iranian president indicate the intelligence services of Ukraine, the United States, and Israel were behind the crash.

I wouldn't either, but there are a lot of countries with more motive than Ukraine

I have managed projects, albeit environmental and entire plant dismantlement/demolition. What have you ever seen on a store shelf or showroom floor made in Russia? Russia never gave two shiits about its workers. While Australia cares too much and pretty much completely run by unions. Productivity rates in both nations are somewhere less than 10% of the American worker.

In my younger years, way younger, I've thrown 50 kg rice sacks in cargo holds of ships in the middle of the summer heat. I have shoveled rotten corn and soybean meal which smell worse than any poggy plant to clean a ship (actually ocean going barge) cargo hold. That's for starters.

The Russian Navy is stipulating that all ships have glass bottoms from now on... so they can see the rest of their Navy.
