The aid bills are great.

Yet the one piece that will most piss off Putin is...

The House passed a foreign aid package on Saturday as well as what's called the REPO Act that will allow the Biden administration to confiscate billions of dollars’ worth of Russian assets sitting in U.S. banks and transfer them to Ukraine for reconstruction.

So does my favorite DAW Reaper.

If you are used to running Linux, you can run all these programs without the overhead of Ubuntu.

But as a starting point Ubuntu Studio, can’t be beat.

@Luber905

We’ll see.
The spring rains have begun, so ground maneuvers will be held to a minimum. Mud is bad on offensive.

What you will see is more counter battery fire of artillery.

And more Russian aircraft go pooof.

@TrueBloodNet
Cool.
I wonder about artillery shells, and barrels. My guess is those are also pre-positioned.

On Linux

Ubuntu Studio remains the quickest one-shot way to get at Linux and free software for music, sound, video, media, and 3D. And they deserve some extra love now, especially since Apple Silicon has slightly deflated desktop Linux attention. Here’s a look at the long-term support version that just hit beta, due later this month.

Thanks.

If you were to buy a new audio interface, with a built in DAC, converter. Which one would you look at. (Only need 2 channels). ?

#Ukraine

The military is very likely to have done preparatory planning and may have stocks of the most urgently required military aid already in Europe. This will speed up delivery to Ukraine once the legislation is signed by the President.

Pentagon spokesman General Ryder has recently noted that “We have a very robust logistics network that enables us to move matériel very quickly as we’ve done in the past. We can move within days.”

@Mandypar
Yes.
I wish this was better known in the general public.

There are opportunities out there.

@Tattoomonkey29
Yep.
It is good news.
She is a farm girl, cattle rancher, and horse person.
She will do well in a trade.

@BillieBun

Right now she is going to Interview for both the electricians and the masons union.

I asked why masons?
She said "I'm strong, and love geometry."

#Union

Just got off the phone with a young gal I know. We met in a NA meting, she is clean about two years, but very unhappy. She enrolled in a community college, and is flunking out because she is bored, and sees no hope of getting a good paying job out of it.

We talked about building trades apprenticeships, and so she did some research. Turns out all the the local building trade unions are hard up for apprentices. She now is very excited about her future.

Consider apprenticeship !

Yes !
It is about time.
This made my day !!!
