Her flaming lips bit into mine and drew blood, she had not any though, neither control nor heart, but cold stone, her eyes icicles, nothing but empty holes, the pain of light that once once, eating at her mind.

When things go in unexpected ways crazy things happen: The situation has become so dire that Russian soldiers have begun recording videos urging their families never to join the army, warning that doing so would mean certain death. These harsh messages, discovered by Ukrainians on the phones of fallen Russian troops, reveal the desperation of those who sent these recordings to their relatives just before being forced again into suicidal assaults. Overall, the culmination of several key factors has created a scenario where Russian attempts to retake the Kursk region are met with increasingly high costs and diminishing returns. Rather than adjusting their tactics to account for the harsh realities on the ground, Russian commanders appear locked into a pattern of brute-force assaults, relying on sheer numbers to compensate for a lack of strategy. This approach not only exacerbates their losses but also highlights the limits of their operational effectiveness in the face of adverse weather and resilient opposition. The ongoing campaign in Kursk thus stands as a grim testament to the flaws in Russia's military strategy.

How do people fart Thought for 1s Farts are just trapped gas exiting your body through your butt. It's a normal, healthy bodily function—everyone does it (typically 10–20 times a day, though it varies).Where the gas comes fromThere are two main sources:Swallowed air You swallow small amounts of air every time you eat, drink, chew gum, smoke, or even talk. Most of this gets burped up, but some travels down into your intestines. This air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. Gas produced by your gut bacteria Your large intestine (colon) is home to trillions of microbes. They ferment undigested food—especially complex carbohydrates, fiber, sugars like lactose or fructose, and certain proteins—that your small intestine couldn't break down. This fermentation produces gases such as:Hydrogen (H₂) Carbon dioxide (CO₂) Methane (CH₄) — some people produce more of this Trace amounts of other gases Why farts smell (the stinky part)Most fart gas is odorless. The smell comes from tiny amounts of sulfur-containing compounds (like hydrogen sulfide) produced when bacteria break down proteins or sulfur-rich foods (eggs, meat, broccoli, garlic, onions, beans, etc.).How the fart happensGas builds up in your intestines and creates pressure. The anal sphincters (internal and external muscles) relax briefly. The gas is expelled—sometimes quietly, sometimes with sound (vibration of the sphincter or cheeks), and sometimes with force if there's a lot of pressure or liquid stool involved. Fun factors that affect farting:Diet: Beans, dairy (if lactose intolerant), artificial sweeteners, high-fiber foods, cruciferous veggies, and carbonated drinks increase production. Gut health: Different people have different microbiomes, so some are naturally gassier. Movement: Exercise or walking helps move gas along. Holding it in: It doesn't hurt you, but it can get reabsorbed or come out later (often louder/smellier). In short: Your gut is a tiny fermentation factory, and farting is the natural release valve. It's your body's way of getting rid of waste gas so you don't balloon up inside.
