TIL There's a type of tick in the U.S. called the 'lone star tick' (Amblyomma americanum) whose bite can make you permanently allergic to red meat and milk. The lone star tick is unique in that it can transmit a molecule that causes alpha-gal syndrome, a food allergy to red meat.

🇺🇸The US Air Force refused to purchase hypersonic missiles manufactured by Lockheed Martin
The US Air Force does not plan to purchase hypersonic weapons manufactured by Lockheed Martin under the ARRW program, Air Force Procurement Chief Andrew Hunter said at a congressional hearing. Earlier, the Pentagon acknowledged that the latest tests of the missile, which has been in development since 2018, were unsuccessful. Military analysts remind that so far none of the United States programs to create hypersonic weapons has yielded breakthrough results.

Armed forces use three times less ammunition than the Russian army, —The Washington Post.
Even with the shortage, the military fires about 7,700 rounds a day, or about one every six seconds.

The offensive of the Russians fades along the entire front line, — ISW
The Russians have already "choked" in an attempt to take Maryinka under control. Also, the shelling rate of Bakhmut and its surroundings has decreased somewhat.
The occupiers are trying to advance at least somewhere, compensating for the lack of combat power with artillery fire, the ISW notes.

Hunter Biden broke federal law when he failed to register under the FARA, represented the "spy chief of China," and received $1 million.
After the DOJ convicted Hunter's "client" for international bribery, Hunter complained that China retaliated by arresting "CIA operatives."

A graveyard of electric green scooters that have run out of battery life
Since it's very expensive to replace the batteries, electric scooters that have reached the end of battery life cycle are being completely abandoned, also disposing them in any other way would be dangerous and expensive.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇸Russian scientist Mikhail Kovalchuk: "The United States has never been able to determine the alloy composition of Russian engines".
“Until now, the Americans are buying our RD-180 rocket engines, we have been selling them for many years. They disassemble it - assemble it, disassemble it - assemble it, but they cannot make metal”, he explained.
The scientist emphasized that few countries produce engines for fighter jets, because for this you need to be able to produce ultra high quality alloys.
