Я не думаю, что у РФ с производством лучше

In 2022, the plan is to reduce expenditure on 155mm artillery rounds to $174 million. This is equivalent to 75,357 M795 basic ‘dumb’ rounds for regular artillery, 1,400 XM1113 rounds for the M777, and 1,046 XM1113 rounds for Extended Round Artillery Cannons. Finally, there are $75 million dedicated for Excalibur precision-guided munitions that costs $176K per round, thus totaling 426 rounds. In short, US annual artillery production would at best only last for 10 days to two weeks of combat in Ukraine.
The US shipped 7,000 Javelin missiles to Ukraine – roughly one-third of its stockpile – with more shipments to come. Lockheed Martin produces about 2,100 missiles a year, though this number might ramp up to 4,000 in a few years. Ukraine claims to use 500 Javelin missiles every day.

Many people ask me why I drink so much whisky. It's because I have a genetic condition whereby my body doesn't produce its own alcohol. Therefore I am forced to take a supplement.

Попытка открыть первую бутылку нового батча забрызгала всю кухню до потолка, попробовать осталось 50 мл на дне.
Вторую бутылку решил открывать аккуратно, спустив давление. На балконе молотком и гвоздиком осторожно пробил миллиметровую дырочку в пробке, пронаблюдал двухметровый фонтан, но большая часть содержимого сохранилась

At this point, it cannot be ruled out that Putin has been turned and is secretly working for NATO to destroy Russia from within.

Bloomberg: The Curious History of a Forgotten Lightbulb Cartel

The first meeting of this shadowy organization took place on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland on Christmas Eve in 1924. The attendees called themselves the “Convention for the Development and Progress of the International Incandescent Electric Lamp Industry.” But Phoebus — from Latin and Greek for “bright” — sounded way cooler. The name stuck.
[...] There was also a bigger problem that plagued their business. Years of tinkering had yielded bulbs that could last for thousands of hours. In fact, a few from this era are still working today. It was a terrible business model.

Первый батч готов и распробован, второй в процессе на заднем плане. Получилось плотно и вкусно, но почти без алкоголя, потому что на третий день слетела пробка и часть этанола улетела.

"404 weisen", потому что сварено 4 апреля.
