Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ukraine should ideally have the same efficient manufacturing infrastructure but they didn't have a Putin to stop their shock therapy

Of course it was all the amazing and innovative entrepreneurs who got rich very quickly in the 90s, for no reason in particular.

We're just watching the end of an RTS match where the player losing is hiding buildings around the map and building towers in hopes the winning player values their time enough to just quit

UKRAINE IS ABOUT TO FLOAT THEIR CC

The real question is is the Ukrainian government done with killing its population or can we do a little more war still

However, asked if production at the factory would have been expanded sooner had the Ministry of Defence put in orders earlier, the managing director said: "The earlier an order comes, the sooner we can ramp up production."

I’m no logistician, but surely sitting around and making artillery on demand is wholly inefficient when you know that your customer is desperate and needs as much as possible

But that would mean… maintaining an inventory!

Line could be less up!

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And what if the war ends and there's nobody to buy the inventory! Gotta make sure that the cheque clears before you lift a finger.
