So what is the logic for Russia going much further down this route?

https://www.theaa.com/about-us/newsroom/range-anxiety-should-be-a-thing-of-the-past The proportion of electric vehicles running out of charge this year in the UK has dropped to the lowest ever, according to new AA statistical analysis...The figures show ‘out of charge’ EV breakdowns, which are...

Russia are calling it Oreshnik, but people seem to think that it's a minor variant on the Rubezh, and that they don't have conventional warheads for it so that's why there were no explosions, it was just dummies. Again - if you're going to test a new variant anyway, why not fire it into the...

Reports out of Ukraine suggest it was a RS-26 Rubezh (SS-X-31 Sickle D), which is essentially an intermediate-range missile that can just about scrape over the arbitrary limit for an ICBM (5,500km/3,400 miles) when empty or with a minimal payload, but really it's a replacement for the old SS-20...

No - if you're trying to make a useful prediction, don't leave it to imagination. You seem to be saying that allowing Ukraine to use US missiles is something that Putin will regard as "overstepping the mark" and "put his back to the wall", which will cause him to "escalate" and "use nukes". That...

What do you think "Putin's back to the wall" would look like? We've had all these red lines like not entering Russian territory that have turned out to be empty threats, and Ukraine is not going to do anything that would genuinely threaten Putin in the way that Wagner did. Putin cares about...

They're not suddenly in range - Ukraine has been striking way past Moscow already. This is just another example of Putin controlling the narrative when the reality is that nothing much has changed, Ukraine just gets a wider choice of weapons to use in strikes that it is already making. It's just...

Autoexpress user survey of home chargers - overall winner is Hypervolt (but almost bottom for build quality and ease of use), second is Easee (but almost bottom for reliability), just behind is Zappi, which is consistently pretty good across the board. It would seem that Rolec is one to avoid...

Nah - that kind of biology sprays blood everywhere, give me plants any time! Cooler still is that the main producer of invert sugar is called Ragus, and if you "invert" the word "Ragus" you get...? [took me a while to see that for the first time]

Yeah, that. You have very soft water but even USians generally go for a minimum of 50ppm calcium as you need it for the mash enzymes to work and for yeast flocculation, whereas British brewers will generally target 100ppm calcium as an absolute minimum for just about everything except lager...

You can make perfectly good wort with plastic buckets and a Burco boiler, some insulation and a thermometer, the all-in-ones are more about convenience as much as anything else. [this point was made whilst I was typing] Controlling fermentation temp can give a better bang for your buck, and...

Well the dosing rate will depend on which product you have, and manufacturers are usually pretty clear about their suggested dose rates, but for instance Abstrax say 1ml of their Quantum extract is equivalent to an ounce of hop pellets. It's just the nature of these things, they're new and it...

Just need the right yeast...

They're Murphy's proprietary blends for water adjustments. AMS (also known as CRS) is a blend of hydrochloric and sulphuric acids which is what British brewers have always used traditionally - they're the logical acids to use as they're adding chloride and sulphate to your beer as you acidify...

If the explosion of your fuel source isn't registering on the Richter scale, does it even count as a proper bang? Maybe we should ban any vehicle powered by the stuff that exploded at Buncefield?
