No, I don't

Do you really believe that?

>Censorship is when you don't leave an information manipulation and mind control tool in the hands of a hostile foreign power. Sure.

That sarcastic comment justifies all Putin's laws about "foreign agents", "undesirable organizations", "extremist organizations" and such.

They can imagine themselves growing old which is pretty smart for young people

>London was assigned to a constituency in the Tomsk Oblast, a region in Siberia

Why should an emigrant in London affect the life of a city in Siberia he has no relation to? He has no skin in the game, if life becomes worse because of his choice, it will not affect him in any way.

>But in 2023, the State Duma passed a law under which overseas polling stations would only issue the proportional-representation ballot. One less reason to go to the election.

Good. Vote in British elections, have fun

>the least repulsive party

This kind of "Holier than thou" attitude is part of the reason why "Russian liberals" are not popular in Russia

>you get the feeling there’s plenty of room in there for someone to get disappeared

It's wrong embassy. He needs to go to the Saudi one where they killed and dismembered WP journalist[0]. Saudi regime as a very good friend of the GB[1].

No, it takes a lot of delta V to change orbit

7. We suffer few losses, the enemy's losses are considerable

Morelli explains this principle or commandment as follows: "With rare exceptions, people tend to join the victorious cause. In the case of war, the preference of public opinion depends very much on the apparent results of the conflict. If the results are not good, the propaganda must disguise our losses and exaggerate those of the enemy." [0]

It's the same in Russia, if you are wondering

>civilian electricity

Luckily, NATO spokesman answered that question 27 years ago.

Press conference by Mr Jamie Shea, NATO Spokesman, 25 May 1999 [0]

Question (Norwegian News Agency): I am sorry Jamie but if you say that the Army has a lot of back-up generators, why are you depriving 70% of the country of not only electricity, but also water supply, if he has so much back-up electricity that he can use because you say you are only targeting military targets?

Jamie Shea : Yes, I'm afraid electricity also drives command and control systems. If President Milosevic really wants all of his population to have water and electricity all he has to do is accept NATO's five conditions and we will stop this campaign. But as long as he doesn't do so we will continue to attack those targets which provide the electricity for his armed forces.

>why civilian heating facilities are being targeted during winter

Because these are cogeneration[0] facilities - they generate both electricity and heat.

There is huge self-selection bias nowadays with all the war-time laws.

>The fact that most of the Russian population don't understand, or won't accept, the goal of the war

Is this a fact?

Good for C++'s coroutines too

>other languages doesn’t need such an explanation tool at all

Are you sure about that?

>The U.S. and Russia do not champion multilateralism — which requires countries to work together to reach agreements — and can use “political capital to exert pressure on other states,” she said. “They have the power to block any significant progress that is made by the vast majority of states who do want to move forward on a binding treaty,” she added.

I thought Russia is isolated and nearly bankrupt.

What political capital exactly does Russia have to exert pressure on other states?

What power exactly does Russia have to block any significant progress that is made by the vast majority of states?

This attempt by Washington Post to dilute American responsibility for weakining the pact doesn't look too convincing.

>> platforms have very long agreed on twos-complement for negative integers. This even made it into the standard at some point, I believe.

>Only in C23. It was explicitly rejected for C++ 23 (and C++ 26 too, I believe).

It was added in C++20[0], see the note[1] "This is also known as two's complement representation".

I don't think you need a reminder, but here you are: the infamous Nuland-Pyatt[0][1] call about midwifing the coup.

"Pyatt: ... But anyway we could land jelly side up on this one if we move fast. So let me work on Klitschko and if you can just keep... we want to try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here and help to midwife this thing. ...

Nuland: So on that piece Geoff, when I wrote the note [US vice-president's national security adviser Jake] Sullivan's come back to me VFR [direct to me], saying you need [US Vice-President Joe] Biden and I said probably tomorrow for an atta-boy and to get the deets [details] to stick. So Biden's willing."

And here is a commentary from the Cato Institute, an American think tank, with subtitle "The extent of the Obama administration’s meddling in Ukraine’s politics was breathtaking."[3]

No way

It's just more of the same - "Western propaganda lies, Kiev regime lies, here are 5 links to sources which contradict the article"

I don't know, rawgabbit seems okey. What do you mean?

>What i dont understand is why does everything have to be so brief.

Look at the words in the Swadesh list[0]. They are all short.

>Russia remains bogged down in Ukraine. But Putin does not need another invasion on the scale of Ukraine to challenge NATO. He can move up an escalation ladder: sabotage, cyberattacks, assassination plots, drone or missile attacks — and then a limited military operation designed to test whether NATO still means what it says.

So Russia is too weak to conquer Ukraine but wants to risk other countries joining hot war? What for? Get bogged down even more?

>Ukrainian specialists have been deployed to the junta-led country in Africa’s Sahel region to assist local rebel forces who are fighting Russian troops

Now follow the link under the words "rebel forces"[0]:

>Since militants linked to al Qaeda and the northern separatist Tuareg rebels launched simultaneous attacks on April 25 — the most audacious in over a decade — Mali has plunged deeper into chaos.

A country that deliberately targets passenger buses[1] is helping "militants linked to al Qaeda" - no surprise at all.

CNN is posting that on September 12th, I guess a day later it's okay to praise Ukraine for helping al Qaeda and its affiliates.

Yep, that did happen

> “prevent the US homeland from being threatened”

That's another thing that puzzles me. How people claim with straight face that anyone is threatening the US homeland.

There was no impeachment:

  Parliament did not vote to impeach the president, which would have involved formally charging Yanukovych with a crime, a review of the charge by the Constitutional Court, and a three-fourths majority vote in parliament—at least 338 votes in favor.[0]

> they would have made a deal with Ukraine (decades ago) that protected the rights of the Russian minorities in Ukraine and continued massively profiting from gas and oil exports into Europe.

Russia did, many times, last time in 2010.[0]

But the US and the EU didn't like it, so the coup in 2014 happened with American help[1] which overthrew democratically elected president of Ukraine who introduced the law protecting Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens.[2]

The law was repelled right after the coup and Crimeans supported the reunion with Russia.
