Both, based on IFW Kiel’s numbers. Military aid was about even until the end of Biden’s term, Europe generally provided a bit more non-military. The US sent a huge amount right at the end of Biden’s term. Since then, the US has sent basically nothing and Europe has mostly covered the shortfall

That price includes a whole bunch of stuff besides the actual tank. To quote the Czech Ministry of Defence (machine-translated):

The purchase price of 44 tanks includes self-propelled and anti-mine protection systems, as well as integrated logistics support including spare parts, support management, documentation and training.

So basically it’s 44 tanks plus a massive service and supply contract to keep the tanks running properly

I appreciate the recommendation! Unfortunately the keyboard I’ve got is very old and does not have a MIDI output. I don’t mind learning the old fashioned way though! It got me through the other instruments

Ask and ye shall receive

Although apparently my cat is laying claim to it today

Blues and rock are my comfort zones, and I can happily get along with most genres of jazz and metal that aren’t ultra-technical. I can do some passable funk

Guitar is what I’m best at, I’m decent on bass, and I’m complete dogshit on keyboard but working to change that situation. I technically also own a little reed flute that I bought from a whittler at a winter solstice festival that I know how to play the Shrek theme and Darude’s Sandstorm on

If you play guitar, bass, or piano/keyboard, we’re having a jam session. Otherwise, board games! Flashpoint is a cool one, it’s easy to pick up and it’s cooperative

Most of the Nordic countries do not have those. Norway has a lot, Denmark has a little, the others have nothing significant

Anecdotally I would say that London specifically, rather than the UK as a whole, has either an unusually high population of foxes or a unusually bold one. I’ve never seen so many out in the open as there

Thank you for adventuring responsibly! I’m glad you had a good time here

I see this as even more reason to use my idea

I like the idea of pieons, from peon (which I promise I don’t mean derogatorily seeing as I’m not on piefed myself)

I think that this is more or less the approach I would take, but you shouldn’t worry about the actual diameter of anything. It’s not important, after all - if everything was scaled up twice as big, the answer would be the same. Just call the diameter of the cup a nice round number and then see how the hazelnuts compare to it. In this case I think there’s about five hazelnut widths to the glass, so I’m gonna call the glass diameter 50, the nuts 10, and the glass height 80.

You’ll need to change your formulae, though. pi*d is the circumference of a circle, but we need the area here, so pi*r*r (and then multiply by height for volume). That gives me 157,050 whateverunits cubed for the volume of the cup. For a sphere it’s (4/3)*pi*r*r*r, so 524 for the hazelnuts. Now, I know that spheres don’t pack perfectly into a volume, but I don’t remember the factor even for optimal packing, so I’m just gonna take a wild guess and say that 70% of the internal volume of the cup is actually occupied by hazelnuts. That gives me… 209 hazelnuts in the cup. Which seems worse than your answer on a gut level, but I can count 86 visible ones so it’s maybe actually not bad

Just tried this out recently. It’s good fun. I do wish it explained itself a little better at the start - I had no idea that it was essentially a roguelite for about the first hour I played - but it gets that feeling of momentum at the edge of wiping out just right

I know, I’m saying that the UK gets the same colours at the same time of year. It should not have been weird to that audience

Anecdotally, UK wildlife does generally seem to be quite quiet compared to other countries. We’ve got talktative birds and the odd cricket and such, but that’s about it. Everything else is in stealth mode

Wait hang on, the UK has heaps of trees that go that colour every year

To be fair it’s very pretty. I get that one

OP, I want you to know that you are not alone, I am also a Brit who loves seeing all the wee reptiles scooting about when he visits places that have them. We barely have any here and they’re fun tiny little dinosaurs!

Edit: actually I do have a proper answer too. I’m in Scotland, which has different trespassing laws to the rest of the UK. In Scotland you have a right to roam under which you can enter any outdoor land, other than that with crops and the immediate surroundings of houses, provided you do so responsibly. There are other reasonable exceptions but the point is that you don’t generally need to check for access here. The rest of the UK is far more restrictive and I have found that visitors find it incredibly weird to walk through a field of grazing sheep or similar when trying to get somewhere

Folkrace is the most reasonable way to get into it actually, that’s fair. It’s not much of a thing where I am so I forgot about it as a format
