Russian forces have taken Chernobyl, the Ukrainian leaders have said its safety is now no longer assured

Just like 86 then.

I mean, if they want Chernobyl, I suspect Ukraine are happy to give it back. As long as that massive dome over the top of it hasn't been damaged by shelling of course.

and then not outputting group 1 or 2 if group 1 matched the blocked user ID would have the desired effect but, as we have discussed, you'd have to run it on every post for every user every time you rendered the page. Too expensive probably.

Yeah, it would be slow - not worth it. Just don't feed the trolls. And it looks like that stuff screw up the forum BB nicely

Good thing I played through Fallout so I’m ready for all this.

Screwed if that was Fallout 76 tho

Looks like Russia is trying to knock out Ukraines internet, or already has.

They've been DDoS attacking them for over a week and have malware targeting finance and security systems it seems.

Reuters have a live cam of Kyiv's city centre running on their YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgL0mA2SeGs

No one is downloading Elden Ring anytime soon there.

It'll be the disk version only...



Without the patch!

PS5 sales set to increase in Ukraine then.

Kyiv gets angry as the EU flounders on allowing Russia to be banned from the Swift payment system

And Elon Musk and his brother are being investigated for insider trading

There are protests in Russia against the war. So you can expect those people to never walk the earth again.

[fishbowlhead]

Yep the FSB has all their names already.

A great but demoralising viewpoint from John Simpson:

*Mod hat on*
Just a friendly reminder that this is an emotive subject, so please try to be sensitive when you post.
Remember there are people going into war, plus innocent bystanders. Try to empathise a bit.
Also remember that it's not all Russians that want this, with plenty of protests against it, risking imprisonment, so try mindful of that.
It pays to read what you post before you hit reply, but especially so about this topic.

Thanks gang.
*Mod hat off*

Apologies if it came across as insensitive.

[Cassius_Smoke]

Yeah and me. I was just trying to lighten the mood
