The BEP can still accept them, but I’m curious if BofA is actually doing this and if it’ll stand up. More FAQ’s can be read here

What is considered mutilated currency?

Mutilated currency is currency which has been damaged – to the extent that: (1) one-half or less of the original note remains; or (2) its condition is such that its value is questionable.  Currency notes can become mutilated in any number of ways.  The most common causes are fire, water, chemicals, and explosives; animal, insect, or rodent damage; and petrification or deterioration by burying.

What is not considered mutilated currency?

Unfit currency for redemption is currency which is unfit for further circulation because of its physical condition such as dirty, defaced, limp, torn, or worn.  Unfit currency should not be forwarded to Bureau of Engraving and Printing for redemption, but may be exchanged at commercial financial institutions.

I’d be curious if that’s a confirmed kill or just knocked out of action. Looks like a solid hit, but I’m not sure if it nailed anything crucial. Makes me wonder about the switchblade 600 , as that did not look like the Javelin like explosion which I would expect from an anti-armor warhead, but maybe I was just expecting a secondary. I looked at some previous Javelin hit, and they were mixed in the armors explosions.

Not yet… Just waiting

This is great organizational recommendations.

Just as a note, the US average power generation also from the EIA is about 477 GW of power so this 20.7 is about 4% of that.

And yes the Units are ridiculous. kilowatts to megawatts to gigawatts in plus million billions and trillion. Blah. Stop switching.

Really great explanation! Thanks!

In Ukrainian.

We need a video of this, it’s very meme-able.

Really good thoughts. And pontoon bridges or other temporary structures have their limitations.

With that said, I don’t really see S. Korea wanting to invade N. Korea. Short of a radical change in leadership.

Valid historical point, but I am skeptical that Russia of today and and Japan of 1940’s is a close analogy.

Infrastructure, stockpiling, allies, and manufacturing capacity difference mean Russia has a long while yet before we see a total breakdown of air control over the home territory. I won’t say they have air superiority as they seem to be inept at letting some drones through, but it goes to the very different context that Japan had with the US vs Ukraine and it’s limited war vs Russia.

Also the CovertCabal makes clear points backing up the description of not knowing how many rocket artillery are in the field, while acknowledging the various MacGyvered solution they can potentially use.

This whole DPRK troop movement could change many things. Ukraine has done incredible well, but it’s still incredibly over matched if you consider population, economy, resources, and stockpiles. The only balancing factor has been the US & Europe in money and hardware, which has been limited and scaled to the situation which has dragged this out. But war fatigue is setting in and budgets are becoming challenged with election changes. Ukraine may now be able to move militarily with less help, but it still has a huge budget deficit and can barely replace vehicle losses let alone get ahead. Don’t forget about 10 million people fled, so they have a population of about 30 million to Russia, 140ish million. Russia is an order of magnitude larger in GDP. Lots of factors at play, way beyond the morale kills we see and the daily numbers, as heartwarming as they are.

The fat lady has not even stood up to the mic.

For imperial measuring Americans that’s 86,500 square miles which is close to the size of Rhode island (which is itself about 2.27% of the US).
