I am not sure that is true, the speaker pro tempor takes over immediately upon the speaker vacating the position to ensure that normal operations of the house continue.

You may be thinking of what happens when there is a change in power and the new house cannot conduct business until a speaker is elected.  For the last few decades a vacancy during a term is handled through the speaker pro tempor.

I am envisioning a game like CM where anything out of LOS is blurred except a radius around drones you control.  This would allow you to plot movement or call-in strikes based upon the limited view you have from the drones.  Of course, you could also layer in occasional updates from satellite or other overhead sources.

After reading the article I note that the headline could be re-written as
"Approximately 10% of republicans in House and Senate write letter opposing further aid to Ukraine"

Ok, as a long-time member of this board I have an amazingly small post count, of course I was a victim of the great general forum flush many years ago, but my count is still paltry compared to others of my longevity.

Why?  I very seldom post my opinion unless I have taken the time to do the research to back it up, I learned from painful experience that if I don't take the time, I will get my a$$ handed to me by those who do. So now if it is important to me I will do my research and share it along with my post.  Simply screaming that the sky is actually bluish purple over and over will not convince anyone.  Now if I provide some reasoning or at least a link to support my opinion I know that I have at least attempted to provide the bare minimum out of respect to others on this board.

If they come back with a counter argument, I am willing to listen, debate and often be proven wrong.  That is how discussions work in a civil environment, and how we all grow.

By the way, "Technically, the short wavelengths that scatter across the sky correspond to the colours blue and violet, making the real colour of the sky a bluish purple."

While I would love to see this, I just don't think anything will come of it.  For the most part these guys are mercenaries not "true believers" and unless someone steps up to arm and pay them, I doubt much will come of this.

a long illness.. is that a way of expressing that the window was above the 8th floor?

It looks like it, east/southeast of Tokmak.  Of course, I could be wrong.

When I lived in Germany in the late 80s I had a friend who gave me a hard time because I only knew two languages.  Which was not quite true, I knew English, German and could pass with Swedish.

He kept telling me how linguistically isolated Americans were when he grew up speaking 3 languages.  German, Dutch and French.  

I pointed out that since he was from Frankfurt, he was within 2 hours of Belgium and France.  Whereas I could drive 6 hours and still be in the same state.  I argued that proximity makes a difference. 

To this day we disagree in multiple languages.
