I had mentioned that Russian freight trucks weren't doing well, but... things are getting uglier.
Large numbers of them are getting out of the business entirely, or trying to downsize their truck fleets due, in part, to the high key rate and general unprofitability of trucking in Russia under current circumstances.
They're even facing high incidences of non-payment by their clients!

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.

Ukrainian drone units near Kursk have inflicted huge losses to Russian vehicles and equipment on the roads approaching the conflict zone, while Ukrainian soldiers successfully fend off human wave attacks.

Как найти взаимосвязи в нашем мире и не потерять себя: концепция самостоятельного анализа

I recently upgraded my CPU and ordered a new CPU cooler without need, since I thought I had just the stock AMD Wraith cooler, which could have some trouble handling a 5700X3D under load.
I think I'll be going forward with that new cooler after all, just because of how neatly arranged its included mounting accessories are.

Наличие кишечной палочки, живущей в самом конце желудочно-кишечного тракта, говорит лишь об одном: после посещения туалета повара просто не моют руки и заносят своё «содержимое» в продукты. Ну и почти все магази…

About those massive Russian losses of equipment near Kursk... looks like Ukraine released video of it.
Considering that Russia only has about 5-2 odds on that front, well... I don't think things are going all that well. Whatever gains they are making are just too expensive.

"Fighters from the UA_REG Team unit of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck almost a company of Russian army personnel, as well as their North Korean mercenaries.
A video of the combat operation was released on December 17 on the unit's channel.
In total, special forces drones destroyed 50 enemies and wounded 47."

Watching the 2018 sequel to #Halloween last night wasn’t too terrifying.
However. It did set me up for having a small heart attack when I spotted this over my shoulder hanging in the bathroom.

As of today, Ukraine has supplied more than 1.3M drones to its soldiers this year... 30% more than its aggressive drone expansion plans.

Sure, it might look like Air Force One, but I'm pretty sure it's an alien invasion mothership...
Better safe than sorry!

This situation actually reminds me a bit of the dotcom bubble collapse in the late '90s / early '00s, with slight differences.
Declining stocks & VC led to a bunch of startups initially being unable to obtain additional funding. To make matters worse, ad demand started falling, leading to lower revenues for ad-based internet services.
In this case, a decline of ad demand is trailing dotcom revenue shortages. I suspect currency & stock weakness & a slowing econ…

spiderwort #bloomscrolling

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

Russia is intentionally humiliating Trump, and blowing holes in his proposed ceasefire...
The sooner Trump gets righteously angry and tired of being a sap, the better.
