“Whatever your perspective of referenda, Zaporozhye and Kherson have voted to join Russia.”
No, that’s the entire point of the “perspective” that the Russian army forced a vote by gunpoint. That’s not a referenda it’s a circus act

You're looking at the tunnel boring machine, which will be used to excavate a tunnel from Tuttle Park to Vine and Neil. The goal of the Lower Olentangy Tunnel Project is to keep sewage out of the Olentangy River during heavy rain and divert it to our water treatment plant.

The Russian push for Kyiv was a feint, which is why they placed most troops to the northern front, spent 100s/1000s of their VDV forces on unsupported airdrops to take Hostomel, had a 40mi convoy inoperable north of the city, and sent assassins on Zelensky for 3 weeks straight

Most Americans are aware that Europe has good passenger rail, but this isn’t the whole story.
due to their development histories, most European countries have solid national rail systems but different standards prevent easy cross-border rail transit, even within Schengen

There's not a major truck driver shortage, the average income for a truck driver is $65k a year.
Imagine making up to $20,000 a week. It’s a possibility for some of the top truck drivers in the country. There is a major truck driver shortage right now, and it’s predicted to reach a record high next year, which could impact supply chain costs.
