By 11:30 p.m., workers in the MIC area were feeling the effects of minor exposure to MIC gas and began to look for a leak. One was found by 11:45 p.m. and reported to the MIC supervisor on duty at the time. The decision was made to address the problem after a 12:15 a.m. tea break, and in the meantime, employees were instructed to continue looking for leaks. The problem was discussed by MIC area employees during the break. When the tea break concluded at 12:40 a.m., the reaction in tank E610 escalated to a critical state at an alarming speed within five minutes.

I’ve been liking & sometimes using the term for a long time. To me it’s more lighthearted and less clinical sounding. People understand what’s meant and it also works well when talking about someone who isn’t diagnosed but clearly has a brain that works differently.

I think it’s the (fear of) drones. Most russian troops don’t have any effective detection or countermeasures against them. Artillery hits are often followed up by drone attacks and Ukrainian infantry also heavily relies on reconnaissance and support from drones.

There are so many videos from the early stages of the war starting with a single russian soldier getting wounded by artillery, a drone grenade, mine or sniper. Attempts to rescue them then lead to more and more drone casualties. Getting stuck in this situation then makes it a matter of time before artillery, more drones, or Ukrainian ground troops show up to finish the job.

The result are panicked retreats where everyone tries to save themselves. The general lack of training and resources probably doesn’t help either.

I’m always baffled how pointless that subreddit is. Almost every question asked there barely requires any math. Usually it’s just look up two numbers and then do one basic operation. Or even worse, questions that aren’t even answered by math at all.
