Wars are won (and lost) as a result of supply chain logistics.

One of the most important elements of the war machine is a well-fed and well-equipped soldier. As such, most armies have dedicated logistics divisions to ensure supplies, weapons, and machinery get to where they are needed on time.

Consequently, supply chain interdiction or disruption is a powerful weapon of war. To interfere with your enemy’s logistical operations is to reduce the overall effectiveness of their combatants and thus their strategy.

Modern-day Russia was not prepared for this war to last as long as it has, their commanding officers have little regard for their soldiers, and they’ve historically had poor logistics to begin with.

This makes it easy to disrupt their supply chains, if they were even set up in the first place. Add this to tribalist infighting and a general lack of cohesion and you end up with people going hungry.

I almost didn’t even post this response.

My OH is terrible for this. She’ll lick her fingers and touch everything without washing her hands, it’s disgusting.

PowerToys is the way.

Good grief, that’s very good.

Growth is slowing. That doesn’t mean total availability is not increasing, but that it’s increasing at a lesser rate.

Do they not teach reading comprehension anymore?

What a roller-coaster. Glad you are free of that nonsense.

Same here. I find that those with no critical thinking skills are quick to say ‘oh you just can’t stand to be wrong’–no! I have the self-respect to educate myself and not spread misinformation.

Oh my god this is why we can’t have nice things ffs

What an idiotic take. A good government is elected by the people and directed by them to make decisions in their favour. Of course it is the government’s role to protect its population from dangerous food additives.

I always used to assume crêpes when people said ‘pancake’ but I have since learned of the American pancake and how different it is.

Crêpes are the best. Love a savoury crêpe so much.

Except that acknowledging that the world exists doesn’t constitute a blanket statement…

Yes! Excellent advice, both of them.

Yes, sorry, that was the point I was making (albeit poorly). Rural US is an impossibility unless you have a car.

How have you never tried French toast?? Get thee to a supermarket stat!

What about crêpes vs pancakes? Crêpes imho but to each their own!

I was going to say this… all three are excellent options!!!

A worthy achievement in and of itself. Keep it up, I believe in you!

Hey, well done, keep it up! I’m well onto my 52-book target this year for the first time ever (yay!)

Congrats!
