Backing on the #dearAbyss Kickstarter has stopped over the last day. I suspect it's hit the natural end. I should have done this as a ten-day campaign, oh well.

But hey, in case I'm wrong, here it is. mwl.io/ks

#Hezbollah: In the framework of the Khyber operation series and with a call from you Nasrallah, this morning we targeted the Palmachim air base (including the #military research center and the Hatz radar system) in the south of #TelAviv with strike #drones. And we made its goals precise.

the painted windshields on the vehicles are a surprising counter surveillance tactic. It makes them harder to spot from aircraft.

It looks like the vehicles are small and highly mobile, meaning its likely western counter artillery systems will have a difficult time intercepting the launchers at all.

Agreed!

Isn’t this the trailer that came with the release and box of the game? That released in 2004. That’s at least 20 years. 😀

Just watched this for the first time - yup, it still holds. AFAIK, Blizzard had a dedicated Cinematics Team and those trailers costed a small fortune. Comparing to some ingame-engine trailers of modern games is quite unfair ;)

In judicial races, endorsements can speak volumes: Even in nonpartisan races, candidates for judge often receive backing from political parties or advocacy groups that hint at their ideological bent. boltsmag.org/whats-on-your-loc…
