In this case the object appears even originally in just one frame. As a faint glitch. That's exactly the kind of lossy information that compression algorithms are designed to get rid of.

Hahaha. So we're just supposed to take your "expert" word for it? :ROFLMAO: You alone, and nobody else in the world can apparently tell the difference. Which proves nothing, because these missiles were all manufactured in the USSR and delivered all over the Soviet Union. Besides, any missiles...

The fact that it is a perfect background support my hypothesis that it is a compression artifact: if it wasn't, then the background would also have some minor differences between frames, but they don't. They match the previous frame exactly. The reason for this is that the compression algo...

Who says it's not? Why investigate the obvious? This was another Russian strike which you and Russian propaganda tried to claim was a false flag Ukrainian strike, but if you recall, you lost that argument too. The missile was confirmed to come from South-East, and launches were observed in...

I did. Your ignorance on how video compression works doesn't change the fact. Not every pixel is kept. The compression algorithm loses information, and ignores small changes... like the one you get from faded shadow of a missile in one frame only. So the algorithm ignores it and just stores...

Oil price is not actually dropping, it's going up. https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/urals-oil

I don't recall you ever giving any source for these claims, and I'm not going to bother searching the forum. If you have the video, post it. If I find it on my own, I'll get back to you. Meanwhile, I'm just going to assume it's misrepresented and incorrect like most other things you post. For...

Yes, you do. I explained how it is a compression artifact. You are claiming that someone forgot to add the missile on purpose (or accident). So burden of proof is on you to explain why he forgot that. But I appreciate that you finally at least tried: That's a nice theory. But you do realize...

The Russian central bank has been rather competent in saving the ruble from crashing already in 2022. But eventually, real economy will start to bite back. My hope is that this will really start to impact the elites in Moscow, and they start questioning if the war is worth it. I doubt their...

I've explained it, and you already conceded that point. On the other hand, you haven't explained why the person who you claim "faking" the video did not add it to one frame. Or how the mine on street level blew up a hole in the ceiling of the building. Yes, it did. And the same thing has been...

Ukraine is also not Russia. And I'd be fine with Russia being "not defeated" in Ukraine, if it means complete withdrawal as in Afghanistan. It doesn't matter whether he's rational or irrational. Giving in to nuclear blackmail would be dumb in either case. If he is rational, then capitulating to...

I was referring to 2020-2021, before the war. As for Boris Johnson, his visit had nothing to do with the failure of the negotiation track. The negotiations in 2022 fell apart because Russian massacre in Bucha came to light. After that, any kind of capitulation became impossible.

I watched DS9 a decade or so ago. It was underwhelming. Maybe in the 90s, when all the TV was episodic and mostly crap, any continuous story arc on a scifi show was considered amazing. But in the 2010s it just feels very poorly written. Babylon 5 on the other hand has aged pretty well in my opinion.

Maybe yatzhee would be more suitable for these two morons.

The situation at the front lines is difficult, but nothing is as difficult as the Ukrainian geography quiz. :ROFLMAO: They've got three five Urozhaines, for example.

What do you mean by this? Urozhaine is nowhere near Russian territory.

What's interesting to me is the use of JDAM glide bombs. I recently called them useless. Guess I was wrong.

Call me an idealist, but I think the democratic freedoms of the 24 million people living in Taiwan is more important than the "industrial base" or "strategic importance" of the Island to the US.

Enjoyed this video interview of a young Russian soldier captured by Ukraine (technically a war crime... but what the heck): The video has English dub and sub. It's long but can be watched at 2x speed. Interesting tidbits for those who don't want to spend the time: - The guy was a conscript...

Zelensky has said that Russia needs to withdraw to February 2022 borders, and then they can sit down and discuss Crimea and Donbas. But anyway, it's theoretical since I don't think Putin will withdraw voluntarily, nor that Ukraine will get that far by force.
