why isn’t he waiting until Russia or China actually do something?
The thing is, Russia already has done something. Trump has a mandate from the people to fuck up Russia militarily by arming Ukraine. Why he chooses to not do this, while making statements about Russia taking land, is maddening.
It’s not even like Russia is getting much out of this. It isn’t like they already conquered Ukraine and are a good way through Finland (pre-NATO). At least then you could argue the sacrifice is for something…
I will happily pay more for freedom from the corporation.
Russia has repeatedly came up with initiatives to build a new, reliable and just architecture of European and global security - Putin
Followed closely by Russia blowing up ambulances…
Yeah, if 90% of that is movies/shows, then you really don’t need a backup of that as you can always re-download it. Then you have a 5TB backup problem which is much cheaper to solve.
My suggestion: Buy 3x 28TB drives. Mirror the data to them. Then move them off site.
The off-site location could either be a family member’s home where you can then sync to the drives over the internet. Or in a PO box nearby that you retrieve them from time to time to re-sync the data.
This was a pretty damn good video. Lots of behind-the-scenes info on on prior events.
The United States will more than triple its production of the combat-proven Patriot interceptor to defend against air and missile threats
Damn! Given how capable this system is and it’s proven track record, it’s not surprising to see it’s in high demand. Glad to see we are stepping up to meet that demand.
Clearly the large number of countries ordering US arms disagree.
It has now been seized. More info: https://www.twz.com/news-features/u-s-forces-seize-fleeing-russian-flagged-oil-tanker-in-north-atlantic
Semi-related: You may enjoy Steins;Gate.
Might be worth looking into a PiHole. One of the nice features is the white lists. So even if a list you are subscribed to is blocking something you need, you can still allow it specifically.
And/or run adblockers on each device individually. I actually do both, as the on-device blockers don’t get things like Windows telemetry. (Thank god the only Windows machine on my network anymore is my work laptop.)
countries like the PRC are rising
China has a horrifyingly destructive demographics crisis on their hands. Even if they reversed course on that issue today, it won’t be solved for decades. And there is every indication their demographics issue is accelerating.
China is peaking. Them, South Korea, and Japan are the worlds case study on how to deal with these problems; all three are going to fuck up in 100 ways that everyone else will be able to learn from. Immigration is one of the main ways to deal with it, something that China is much worse off with as their poor wages and sheer size means they uniquely cannot attract enough people, unlike South Korea and Japan.
robots will begin to replace construction workers and other workers
95% of all human labor used to be farming. Automating jobs is how we have gotten the prosperity we have today. Nothing we have done would be possible without automation. Increased productivity is far from a boogeyman, it’s something to be celebrated.
Has Russia even returned the tanks India sent them for repairs? Last I saw, they had just stolen those to use in Ukraine.
I have a strong feeling buying any new major weapon system like this is going to be a hard sell when China and Europe are right there with their own offerings.
Also, this (advertised as) stealth aircraft isn’t very stealthy…
You are a straight man with some specific desires.
Welcome to normalcy.
Poster got a pokemon-themed, sexual story or role-play with an AI.
Man, I really hope those were just forgettable for them. The Lion King live action remake is so damn disappointing. All the emotion, all the storytelling, just gone. It’s a very poor imitation of the original.
Remakes can be good. The new Dune movies are worlds better than the 70s movie; that is a movie that needed a proper remake. The new ones actually do the books justice.
The neat part about that is it also ties fuel and food together as (partly) interchangeable items.
During fuel shortages, ramp up corn -> fuel production. During food shortages, reduce/cease corn -> fuel production.
