Well while they’re every large, they’re essentially eating into their reserves all the time. So they can amass more things than Ukraine… for now. At the cost of any possible future for Russia basically.

Russia will be fixing this clusterfuck of their economy for decades after Putin drops, even if it was just of old age.

How old are your children?

Lätty is the dish, ie a “a flat” basically (comes from Swedish “plätt”) , a pancake. Pannu is the pan. But like there’s special pans for those, which look exactly like the one OP posted and I didn’t realize it was another similar looking Nordic dish.

Lättypannu would be the pan you cook the lättys in. Ie a crepe pan. Pancakepan.

I always preferred lättys made on a big pan though, way thinner and you can just put some jam in there and roll it up.

Oh man come to think of it that’s how I learned how to roll I guess lol.

The small ones are sort of thicker. Like 0.75cm thick, whereas the big ones are crepes, thin.

Finland didn’t used to really do salty fillings for crepes and in my teens I sort of found savoury filled crepes really weird.

Lättypannu. Or lettupannu.

If you want one that’s the Finnish term.

Although I think abelskiver are probably deeper so those pans aren’t the same probably. My bad.

It’s just very similar to our pancake pans

I’m torn because I want to tell him to leave me alone, that I don’t care about his life, but considering the ‘offense’ this seems too much and knowing me I’d immediately regret it and feel bad about it.

So instead you’ll like youre ruder than you are, hoping he will eventually get it.

You don’t think weeks of having to do this is making you feel worse than perhaps one night of feeling a bit sorry after telling him straight on?

And I know he will appreciate it eventually if the direct reaction isn’t such. You will finally make sense to him. If you’re being rude, ignoring him, why don’t you understand that might make him want to bring you to a normal level of social contact. That he feels he’s done something wrong by just being a chatty person.

Maybe just tell him you’re sorry but you’re not as chatty as him and would like to focus.

And yes, I have also done that to a worker. Told her I’m there to work, not to make friends. Kinda cold? I don’t think so. Colleagues, not friends. Co-employees can be friends but don’t need to.

You’ve discovered capitalism’s super hidden secret; infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible.

This has obviously been proven false with the Great Firewall of China, and of Russia’s latest attempts of completely disconnecting from the global internet.

Not it hasn’t. Pretty much the only country which manages it is NK, and that’s because they have 100% control of their citizens.

With TOR and mesh networking, some sort of a system will remain no matters who tries what. The level or communication that was extremely centralised and possibly censored were things before the 80’s. After that, you could just host your own site online and “hide the ip” (not really tho but hosting your things in another country was sort of an equivalent). So information starred glowing much mire freely.

And becsuse all these techs exist, communication will ever regress to such a state that it was in.

So an exaggeration, sort of. Depending on how you define “internet”.

I think software is still engineered.

Perhaps as a compromise, non-software engineers could call themselves hardware engineers, or hard engineers for short.

Should bridge that gap in terminology. And ofc assumption should be “engineer” means “hard engineer” and software engineers should always specify they’re software engineers and not call themselves just engineers.

Ah, more highroading and ad hominem.

It’s okay, it’s just a silly thing on a forum. No-one cares you were wrong.

You wanted a fix of “look what an expert I am”, while ignoring the fact that you were wrong the whole time.

Birds can not overpower humans. They can pose dangers to people who don’t want to harm the birds, but if a human does want to harm a bird, the human wins. Doesn’t really matter which bird and which human, if you stipulate an adult human.

Have there been deaths related to birds? Yes. Can they pose risks, even severe ones, like, say, through sickness? Yes.

Was that the discussion? No.

You’re the contrarian here, my friend. I’m just agreeing with the earlier guy who said what is a very clear fact; birds can’t overpower humans.

You came in linking an article which I then read, quoted, and then you started backpedaling and now you’re accusing me of being a contrarian because I called you out on your contrarian argument which isn’t even supported by the thing you linked or any supposed experience you have.

Hope you got your fix of highroading. Enjoy your day! Think positive thoughts and don’t dwell on this massive L you took! :))

Sure, one might not kill you

My point exactly, mister bird expert.

someone can definitely get very injured or die because they got knocked over and hit their head or whatever

That can happen literally anywhere, anytime, to anyone, with no influence from any sort of avian.

Geese and swan don’t have anything sharp, and I’m sure had you wanted to, you could’ve grabbed the cock by the neck and wrung it without it being able to actually kill you.

Annoying and perhaps even need medical attention for scratches? Yeah. KILL YOU?

Nah.

Realistically, if that person had no regard for the bird, they could’ve just grabbed it and strung it’s neck.

“Maybe he didn’t want to hurt the animal,” Hensley’s father-in-law, George Koutsogiannis, told the Sun-Times. “Maybe he didn’t fight back enough when the swan attacked him…I can’t understand how this was possible.”

A single swan can’t actually physically overpower a person, but people can panic and make bad choices, especially when in water and confronted with aggressive wildlife.

Yes I too, read the Wikipedia entry for thou/thee.

Are the Outlander writers just dumb or something then? Or is what you’re referring to (“thou art”) just a different context.

Because in Outlander, the quakers clearly use “thee is” and not “thou art/are”.

Because they use it as the second person singular.

Minor spoilers for latest season of Outlander

Thee is a wolf

It’s “thee is tall.”

He, she, thee.

Thee has had thee mind blown?

I’d like to be “chief philanthropy officer” as well.

I’ve been off gluten for a while now for medical reasons and god damn this a thousand times. I would kill for some decent spaghetti.

All the gluten free ones are kinda shit.
