No development required, I think they can open a drawer somewhere and pick one of several soviet designs. If they want a nuke, they can build one right away.
It would cost them the support of their allies, however, and they cannot afford that.
It’s saber rattling.
AI, check the identical blue windows on the high rise in front/lower left, continue with the other wacky windows there.
Nonetheless a fantastic cityscape.
I switched my main gaming computer to Mint after testing it on a laptop. Being away from Windows is awesome. You know how everything always wants your attention on Windows? Your antivirus proudly announces its existence. Windows wants to know if it should remove some printers? Some PDF software needs updated RIGHT NOW. There’s a license change please acknowledge this 20 page document. Animated attention grabbing everywhere. I always think FUCK OFF when presented with this bullshit.
You know what - Mint doesn’t do that. I’ve not been internally shouting at my own computer since I went that way.
It is serene.
Hätte jetzt gedacht, das wäre gesicherter Fakt. Ich denke pflanzlich > tierisch > Kokosfett > gehärtete Fette, und trau keinem Fertigprodukt. Aber… Butter ist schon lecker!
Just power-hungry generals? Anything more to the story?
Und Prossikjutto (prosciutto)
They said SS members were not universally evil. Front national was unimpressed.
I think the most important topic right now is confronting the climate change and the problems it is going to cause, on every level local, regional, national and international. This looming crisis is going to affect everything and everyone on an existential level, and requires every of these government levels, even every individual, to fucking work and to fucking stand together.
And now my compatriots elect AfD.
Among the nonaligned is the German far right party that got kicked out of id for being too extreme.
Und jetzt alle! “Ich hab ne Zwiebel aufm Kopp, ich bin ein Döner 🎺”
Oder vielleicht lieber doch nicht, wenn ich so drüber nachdenke.
It is known in Germany, “Eulen nach Athen tragen”. I’ve heard the explanation that the currency of Athens in antiquity had owl on one side.
That’s great news! Occasionally I browse the NA beers and last week I thought how great it would be to be able to drink a Guinness! Maybe it arrives here sometime.
Yeah that’s not the problem we’re talking about, it’s about still being presented with these 45 years later, with memories from a time when you were a stupid little kid.
Stupid brain.
That’s exactly how they get you, by telling you everybody is influenced (and stupid) but you and them, the smart people.
Yeah you’re right. Our news would use “Kongo” for the catastrophe and “Kongo-Brazzaville” for the country.
Congo is much bigger than Deutschland, what is this?
Yeah, there is, not by chance, a “story” in “history”. It needs to be told, by somebody who knows how to do that. Learning facts from old books, the studying, is one part, weaving them into a whole, the telling, the other.
I would in principle agree with you, however not about English, mainly because it is now a language of international discourse of any kind, and it thus no longer belongs to the local speakers.
It now has a role Latin had until just a few centuries ago, and extrapolating a bit into the future from that example, will remain quite stable while your dialect, American, Australian, Indian, Jamaican, will change until it becomes another language entirely, no longer mutually intelligible with the other dialects.
If you want to participate in the international dialog however, you will have to learn International, which is now English including the differentiation of the theiy’res, even if your native language is English. Your grand-grandchildren may have to learn English like an Italian in 1800 had to learn Latin if he wanted to join the international discourse.
It’s super interesting to watch this process unfold right now!
Fix the stupid little things first.
Do you have a friend? Ask them if they would stick around for a few while you fix a bunch of stupid little problems you can’t find the motivation to do by yourself. You’ll need them only for structure, or maybe the occasional stimulus “OK, now write that email”, not to do any of it.
Most people can relate. Ask them directly, don’t beat around the bush.
Und wieder diese Idee, wenn ich nur aufhöre mit dem Trinken, wird alles gut und alle haben mich wieder lieb. Das mag bei einigen der Fall sein, aber für die allermeisten ist es voll anstrengend, das Trinken aufzugeben, wenn sie schon regelmäßig trinken, auch wenn noch keine physische Abhängigkeit besteht. Ich konnte z. B. überhaupt nicht mehr einschlafen, und auf sowas muss man vorbereitet sein, sonst gibt man nach dem dritten Tag ohne richtigen Schlaf auf. Und das ist nur eines von vielen Beispielen, die ich geben könnte, von wegen alles eitel Sonnenschein!
Drücke allen die Daumen, die sich auf einen Weg gemacht haben!
