Legally Russia is the internationally recognized successor state. Russia even paid off the whole Soviet debt, but in exchange inherited all of the USSR's legal privileges (right to have nukes under NPT, right to the spot on the Sec Council, right to observer state in Danube, etc)

In East Germany typewriters were fingerprinted so police knew exactly who to look for.

Just solving crimes.

This.

Optane died because Intel wanted to kill AMD and ARM with it. Killed Intel and a great technology along with it.

Whatever it was, I noticed it was Stripes, and respected their honesty despite being a military paper. Stripes has always been anove average in its honesty.

Point is, this war is a shitshow.

About a week ago Stars and Stripes had an article that strongly implied that the war with Iran had already had far more casualties than the (at the time) three KIA.

I think it was about increased blood donations in Germany.

But sales taxes are significantly lower and easily lowered or even avoided by driving a half hour.

No one does this, because they're low enough to begin with.

Coat the whole vessel in a couple mm of sylgard-184 and it'll last a century (or until it's beached).

Producers have already been announcing force majure to legally stop production.

Qatar gas being the big one for LNG. It'll takes them two weeks to restart four to get to full production. So a tight LNG market has 20% of the world production out for three weeks.

My understanding is that, until the hits on Tehrans oil storage sites yesterday, the oil infrastructure has been spared. Nothing that isn't easy to repair.

Ie the price increase we've seen so far os mostly pricing the closing of the staits and the risk of reduced production production is halted due to running out of storage (ie akin to a cpu "pipeline stall".

But Iran got hit badly yesterday, with tar raining on the capital. If Iran retaliates against infrastructure...

Label the fruit as a gmo and the market for them collapses. Which is why we're not allowed to have clear stickers at the store.

Hmm next time they go for a feel I'll tell them not to sexually harass me loud enough for the whole line to hear.

They feed on folks wanting to avoid embarrassment, not wanting to miss their flights, etc.

" I shouldn’t be strip searched for the crime of showing up to the airport."

People have forgotten that the TSA got caught lying about the machines not taking pictures (its just a cartoon!) and their employees laughing at people's bodies.

If the TSA wants to disrobe me they're going to have to do it the honest, old fashioned way. Not some sterilized make believe.

Whistling loudly helps too.

We're not weirdos. The weirdos are the cattle walking into a microwave oven.

They ask me "would you like a private screening?"

Hell no! I need witnesses.

Atlanta TSA are the absolute worst. I've lived in Atlanta for a while and used ATL quite a bit. They're easily the most aggressive, arrogant, stupid, obnoxious and self-righteous of all the TSA Ive used.

Ive even had an altercation with them that ended up having to file a complaint (never heard back) and got to speak to a manager only because I started, loudly, whistling the anthem.

"All data changes mass of the medium"

The first line

This is interesting. Our current family [1] Mac Pro is from 2015 and its time to replace it, but I'm loath to spend 1000 on a laptop

[1] computer to do personal things i don't want my employer to spy on

All data changes mass of the medium:

Every data storage media requires some work be done to it.

E=m^2

All data storage media has mass.

QED

I guess you're too young to remember Lenovo buying IBM's PC business and folks complaining about security since they were Chinese?

Well, ya. Of course it was rape. And in retaliation we genocided them, hence the lack of Y and mRNA.

It's a cloak for digital ID disguised as child safety.

There are many way to make the internet safe for kids without removing anonymity. But the they wouldn't get what they want, would they?

It's important to note that the official death toll, acknowledged by the IDF, are of those whose bodies have been recovered.

Nor has the genocide stopped.

They don't have to nuke anybody, just rain missiles on the Baltics and create a land bridge to Kaliningrad.

Now the escalation ball's on our court. Are you willing to die for Latvia?

(And Medvedev does appear to be that bonkers)

And how do you plan we do that?

We can't beat the Houthis, but Im sure we'll be great vs. the most battle tested army since world war 2.

How's that relevant to the assertion that Putin should be whacked?

For whatever reason Putin is the most pro-West guy in the West, he remains the most pro-West guy in the West.

Off him and you get a very trigger happy replacement.

Right.

Ppl behave as if Russia isn't sitting on the world's conventional weapons cache, and largest weapons production capability.

Or that Ukraine wasn't sitting on the second largest cache of conventional weapons, particularly Soviet era AD.

Let's try it.

Frankly, after the Epstein files, I welcome some fire and brimstone to clean things up a bit. (Of course, you probably think Epstein was a Russian agent)

This.

Never mind that they tried a month ago with the drone attacks.

How would this work exactly? The most protected person in the world, thousands of km from hostile borders, in the city with the world best AD surrounded, by bureaucrats who, if anything, think Putin is too soft on the West.

Who walked away from the Istanbul offer and killed their negotiating team? There's no better outcome for Ukraine than that offer, plus a million dead.

Thank you Boris Johnson.

And then you get Medvedev. His finger is so itchy for the red button he has to rub it with vagisil.

At a certain point we have to understand that Putin is about the most pro-Western person left in Russia.
