I'm back at Silver City
The food was too good
I had dumplings last time
They just blew my mind
I drove down there today
Service was good off rip
I didn't bring Ashley today
But they knew my order
Orange chicken with the dumplings
She brought me my food
Man, when I tell you
I'm gonna need new pants
That's how good it is
Although I wasn't full yet
Something else caught my eye
It was just excellent, man
The two for one eggrolls
I had to get it
Perfect way to end it
Forever my favorite eating spot

At what point will Russia no longer have military equipment available?
Reports suggest that Russia is losing armored personnel carriers (APCs) at an alarming rate of around 80 per month. 🇷🇺💥 The true extent of Russia's equipment losses remains unclear, with varying estimates from different sources. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) suggests that Russia lost around 3,000 armored fighting vehicles in 2023 alone. 🙄👀 Some sources are out here claiming that Russia's pretty much out of tanks, artillery, and armored combat vehicles. Others, like Global Firepower (GFP), are like, "Nah, they've got plenty more where that came from." 🤦♂️🥱 But let's get real – Russia's definitely lost a ton of equipment in Ukraine. We're talking anywhere from a third to 70% of their tanks, and don't even get me started on their artillery units. It's not looking good, folks. 🤐🥶 The real question is, can Russia replace all this lost equipment fast enough to keep up with the war? Well, apparently, their tank factories aren't exactly producing out new ones at the speed of light. 🐌⏳ Some analysts predict that Russia could run out of tanks within the next two to three years if the current rate of losses continues. The condition of Russia's stored equipment is also a concern, with many tanks exposed to the elements and potentially unusable. 🤔❗ To address the equipment shortage, Russia has ramped up military hardware production and refurbished older tanks. However, the effectiveness of these measures remains uncertain, as production numbers are often not disclosed, and older equipment may become increasingly useless. 🤷♂️🕵️♂️ Russia has also turned to foreign sources for equipment, with reports of Chinese components being found in Russian weapons and North Korea supplying missile shells. Iran has also allegedly provided drones and other military supplies to Russia. 📶🤝 But even with all this foreign help and digging through their old stash, Russia might not be able to keep up with the losses. As time goes on, they might be stuck with some seriously outdated gear. Not a good look. 💀🙄 So, how long can Russia keep this up? Well, it's anyone's guess at this point. Some say they've got enough in the reserves to last another year or more, while others think they'll be running on empty sooner than that. 🤬⏳

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.
