russian military never been in direct full scale fight with Ukrainian forces before till this morning, they have no idea where they got themselves into and what is coming to them - we will bury them all! every single one of them

Our time to fight back has come - Glory to Ukraine! Слава Україні!!!

update: dont get me wrong, true Russians are against this war, I have alot of friends in Russia and they ALL sending me messages of support - мы поможем вам стать свободными, братья!

I do not know any of them personally but I do trust them, as far as I remember back then they've started as one of the projects on Ukrainian crowdfunding website https://biggggidea.com/project/blagodijnij-fond-povernis-zhi...

I'm a vet of this war and few mins ago I've was called back to service and most likely I'm about to go back at war zone again pretty soon

so for me personally your support of Ukraine means a lot, thank you man

(sorry for delay, my account is for reads and I hit the limit of replays in HN, had to wait)

back in 2014 when sht hit the fan and Ukrainian army was very weak, ppl made it back strong with everything they could, donating money equipment and food, there was alot of volunteer organizations back then and these ones was one of the most well know, still operating to this day

tbh Idk how to reassure you they are true but here's their fb page with 3mln+ followers https://www.facebook.com/backandalive/

and here's the link of that IT community thing I've mentioned before https://dou.ua/forums/topic/36494/

hopefully those will provide some validation for you

Re:Ukraine Conflict Live Map on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @03:17PM (#30433114)
real reason is in Ukraine becoming strong independent democratic country which is a direct threat to kleptocratic russian regime

still far from it, but this escalation indicates Ukraine is one a right path

it's not about covid or money - its about Ukraine becoming stronger, more independent than ever from russian influence as old corrupt politicians are getting off their political power so he no longer have a leverage over Ukrainian government the way he used to have

its about the choice Ukranian ppl made in 2014 and strong independent Ukraine is a direct threat to russian kleptocracy as russain ppl might have ideas they could make this push too

Re:Ukraine Conflict Live Map on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @01:33PM (#30431610)
that's exactly what will happened it will cost russia so much more than they could possibly imagine from just Ukraine pushing back alone

in case you need more stats, first 7 trys

4 12 (10sec) 8 (15sec) 1 (120sec) 11 (10.91sec) 9 (13.33sec) 10 (12sec)

first try was with touchpad, rest of them with mice that 1/120 was brutforcing, there was at least 4 or 5 similar shapes with deadzones maybe there should be a way to rotate viewport manually (for some time penalty?) and bruteforcing should be time taxed as well though

wow... WOW!!!! thank you so much!! once I've switched layer to "conventional" it was like a child's dream come true
>I can't just walk into employment with my skillset

sure you can, give it a try

proficiency is talent on its own and being a self taught means only that you can learn (and being _very_ good at it, considering your story)

nothing's wrong with entry level job though, sounds like a solid place to start regardless of how much overqualified for that job you are - as long as you'll be doing what you love and there will be a clear promotion path for you

and even if there's none that job can still do you good if you threat it as a stepping stone - a warm up for better job to come

our past, things that happened before are important ofc but much more important things that will be, things that happens next

so chin up, looking forward to read your follow up success story in few months, best of luck!
