Got a question. There is a US term similar in meaning to the Russian "monkey model" for capability downgraded export weapons systems.

Do you know it?

We just have our "American's (and some allies) only" upgrade models. All the stuff we sell other people is great though!

"A"model? That would denote an earlier, less capable, variant. F-14A<F-14D.

They are a left-ish paper that kind of maybe gets it right some of the time?

I support it, but I have long since given up on ever just getting unbiased news, everything seems to have those moments of "what?..."

However they have the best food critic in Grace Dent. Every dish served with a bowl of acid, she's amazing.

Phanatic: Mar 13, 2007; Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

PM: Don't tell me about the press � I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country. The Times is read by people who actually do run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by people who own the country. The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read the Sun?

Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

Did the helmet cam dude get his leg blown off by a mine?

Edit: Okay, the Russians actually rescue him and he walks himself to the car after being captured.

So they use the deceased's phones to...call their spouses / family and tell them their loved ones are dead in what I assume is this gleefully-sarcastic tone?

Bit of a dick-move, to be honest.

It�s kind of hard to tell the inflection of his voice, but it�s certainly a dick move. There�s no easy way to tell a mother her son died, obviously, but imagine getting a call from your child�s caller ID while you�re eating breakfast or something and it�s the unit that killed him. That poo poo is heinous.

Yeah, I was being a little sarcastic there myself. Out of a video with violence, gore, and dead humans, me mentioning that is kinda indicative of how hosed up that seemed to to me.

Yeah I couldn't decide if that was mega psychopathic or kind of a nice gesture? Like I guess it's good to know what happened to him. Mostly leaning toward the former though. It seemed like they were calling his buddy and then his mom got wind and called his phone.

Yeah that's the vibe I got.

With Russia regularly denying their troop losses in the Ukraine I wouldn't be surprised if calling loved ones to report deaths was an attempt to bypass the political considerations that have gone into official estimates of the dead in this conflict

Or at least I could see it starting that way
