  1. Yea, when it's actually a channel Literally just started. Know almost nothing about video and audio editing. I got a decent dynamic microphone just last week, and collected the software/equipment prior to that. I want to make a channel to monetize on my hobbies and knowledge. endless Book reviews/discussions will definitely be part of it. Maybe readings of some type (I have a decent radio voice). Subjects: Business, Military, Psychology/Philosophy, etc. Mostly non-fiction. So I want to make a channel that is actually viewed, not just a private project.
  2. Started recording myself recently. Making good youtube videos is a lot of work. I hope to make a good one soon.
  3. Probably? staged footage in the Kherson Oblast frontline, appeared about 1-2 weeks ago. Perhaps it is how the Russian defenders engage their opponent if they get close enough. The Russians are also known to perform a maneuver called 'feigned retreat'. The ground forces pull back and create a salient-like perimeter around the attacking Ukrainians, using artillery and airpower to do the fighting. Then after the Ukrainians had enough they retake the lost ground with the ground forces.
  4. The fourth day of the counteroffensive ended with a weaker attack and with few results. It remains to be seen if this is a 'long term' counteroffensive (a lot of weak attacks, expending their assault reserve including units pulled out from the frontline) against the Kherson bridgehead. The Russian mod claim for 9/2 has dropped: In just a day of fighting in this direction, the enemy lost 13 tanks, 19 infantry fighting vehicles, 12 other armored fighting vehicles, 11 pickups with large-caliber machine guns and more than 330 servicemen. Two militants were captured. This ends Russian claims for August 29- September 2nd as : 2500 Ukrainian casualties, 94 tanks, 81 IFV, over 100 vehicles of different types, 4 aircraft, 3 helicopters. This is probably their largest claim of the war. According to open sources so far it appears that the Russians are mainly defeating their attacks with artillery and counterattacks. But primarily the former. If the Ukrainians keep on attacking, without regard to their own losses, they might be able to recover a bit more terrain in the short-term. But probably not Kherson. There are too many Russian reserves south of the Dnipro. The Ukrainians claim to have struck several Russian ammo dumps and one pontoon bridge. It is unclear to me what the Russian ammo situation is. 2 months of strikes against Russian ammo dumps with HIMARs etc has not seriously degraded Russian defense capabilities for 4 days of Ukrainian offensive. It looks like any Ukrainian success of significance would rely on a temporary shortage of Russian ammo, through expending it in defensive fire and loss from ammo dump strikes. This would require many more days of ruthless commitment.

  6. I wish I knew! what a chest
  7. 9/1 combat ended. Ukraine launched a weaker attack and the Russians stepped up their counterattacks. Another unsuccessful day for the Kherson offensive. There may be more tomorrow. JIEDOK(OvB) · Profile · Disqus A theory with evidence so far: "Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were lost: tanks - 51; BMP, APC and BRDM - 62; other AFVs - 49; artillery installations - 35. This number is enough to staff one mechanized or two motorized infantry brigades. Taking into account the fact that a significant part of the results of fire damage is practically not recorded, the real number of losses can be safely doubled. In total, at least four combined-arms brigades lost equipment. Recall that before the start of the SVO there were 25 of them, and already in the course of hostilities about 10 were formed (not counting territorial defense). In principle, if the current rate of fire damage continues, and the share of armored vehicles among supplies from the West continues to decline, then by winter 2/3 of the armed forces of Ukraine will actually be represented by infantry units."
  8. Rings of Power ep1 and ep 2 dropped. I must say that the monster budget shows. It looks more like a film than a TV show.
  9. If Stalin 'suspected' a conspirator, he immediately had them executed. So the best way for an ambitious Soviet to get rid of his rival was to spread fake news on his enemy lol. *Super G Girl, if you are reading this check you PM if you are bored and want something intensive. I would really appreciate it, thank you.

    Having Pacino and Dicaprio help you isn't bad, even a no-talent can get small roles. Bar from what I remember on the BZ thread is a celebrity in Israel and still is, and she is still modeling even though she's overaged.
  15. I heard that movie was made because of expiration of copyrights or something.. It is really frustrating to lose track of important documents. I know it's somewhere in these rooms but there is just too much stuff to go through. Another one is re-connecting with people long lost. It is either wonderful or bittersweet. Had a bittersweet one recently.
  16. Thanks, can't wait. I purposely did the Silmarillion audiobook for this show.

    I remember she was a side character on Baywatch, in SI, modeled a little and disappeared after marriage.

    It is striking that there are many 'romance' archetypes in the W3. Just some come to mind: Yennefer: Extremely loyal and devoted, but openly critical/condescending/bossy, high standards for men. Triss: Very sweet and devoted, but is a social justice warrior. Shani: Career girl, career comes first before relationship. Syanna: Casual sex girl, redeemable sociopath Ciri: independent warrior woman, adventurer. Cerys: wise, observant, socially and politically astute, intrigued and attracted to Geralt Priscilla: Artistic girl, and social Dandelion's lovers: Simple Farm girl (easily seduced), Rich lady, Writer/preschool teacher, and Rich, rebellious/spoiled girl.
  19. The offensive is still ongoing (9/1). So far it has been no good for Ukraine. The Russians are counterattacking the small breaches in the frontline. Ukraine prepared 2 months (July-August) for this offensive. If Ukraine has no success in the coming days and only has high losses, they will terminate the offensive with a loss. The Russians would then be ahead, and able to exploit this.
  20. ^ I think secretly we are all jealous of him in some way. 😛 Playboy had it right; they shouldn't leave but should all be collected in one giant mansion. They will never age and always be around to party for eternity. 🥰
  21. 8/29-31 has ended with some slight gains on the outskirts. Russians claim an additional 500 Ukrainian troop losses. There will be more attacking tomorrow.

    I heard the main complaint with fans was that Season 5-8 had way too much non-book content as the books end in Season 4. I have only finished half of the audiobook for Game of Thrones book 1. It seems like the basic ending of Season 8, however it will be reached (or not, if GRRM never finishes it) will be the same as in the TV show. I recall GRRM advised them on the ending, and HBO had free reign to make their journey to the final destination in their own way, which didn't set well with many fans.

    revisiting this was nice, Shani romance. The party is one of the best parts of the W3. So many real life scenarios and life lessons, exceedingly well written and acted. Timeless: (170) Complete Shani Romance: All Cutscenes & Gameplay | The Witcher 3 [Maxed Graphics] - YouTube
