I have all terrain tires and live on a dangerous road that kills 4 people a year. This road has a rock face on one side and a creek on the other side.
So it was snowing and there’s about 5 inches of snow on the road and the road hadn’t been plowed. This one girl, obviously not from the area who’s driving a front wheel drive hatchback going 25mph and clearly never driven in snow before. She looses control and hits the rock face and the car goes back onto the road and into the creek. I almost hit her because it was either gamble with the amount of traction I currently have or slam on the brakes and lose control. I took the gamble and went around which was the smart move.

I have a similar story, when I was young I had this weekly science magazine that would come in the mail.
The one page showed a match lit in a microwave with a glass measuring cup to catch the hot plasma. I obviously tried it because it looked cool. When my mother heard the microwave making all kinds of noises she opened it up and pulled out the measuring cup not realising that its really hot, she dropped it and it shattered all over.

Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be...

Yes, Im also glad im not the only one who noticed this. But it also seems to be they disapper after a few days too, maybe instance mods banned them or they just got bored.
Russia’s air defense is pretty much stretched thin right now. Ukrainian drones can strike deep into russia without many problems. This can be seen by the amount of oil refinerys they destroyed.
Back to the helecopters, they seem to be flying low, which introduces ground clutter and the curvature of the earth. Radar isn’t perfect, this is just one of the ways you can defeat it.
