You should definitely get this checked out by a doctor, like the other people have said. But I would also question my choice of shoes, if I were you. I also used to buy cheap shoes, wear the same pair every day and then have to throw them out every year. Now I buy good quality shoes and i have a couple of pairs. They tend to last very long. I’ve never worked out, if I’m saving money in the long term, but my feet are definitely more comfortable.

I always give 100% at work:

• Monday: 10%
• Tuesday: 20%
• Wednesday: 30%
• Thursday: 20%
• Friday: 20%

The difference is that the North Koreans still fight with the same technology as back then while the other side has made some advances.

Despite what people keep saying, a war in NK would be short and one sided. While they could cause a lot of destruction at the start, after a few salvos their artillery would be taken out by air power. Then their entire command and control structure would be eliminated so they couldn’t communicate with their troops at all. And those troops are conditioned to not do anything without orders. So at best they’d be sitting ducks waiting to be taken out. And I’m pretty sure most of them would cost to surrender once it’s clear that the regime is gone. There’d be a share of diehards that would choose death over surrender but i don’t think that would be a large percentage.

That’s not how it would play out or herw, but even in the best case scenario, you’d end up with a huge area with rampant poverty and discontent that would take generations to develop. We’ve had something similar in Germany. Even after thirty years and vast amounts of money spent, East Germany is still way behind and there are areas that have no perspective at all.

Franz-Josef very much wanted Germany to have the bomb. While the German nuclear program was ostensibly always civilian, they absolutely wanted to keep the option open.

And the tiny tiny matter of it never having been economically viable. Both the R&D and construction were massively subsidised by the state. Then the corporations were allowed to skim off the profits while the nukes were running. After that the state gets stuck with the bill for decommissioning. It’s always been a racket. The only reason “civilian” nuclear power exists is as a fig leaf for nuclear armament.

Mint works fine for gaming. For a gaming focused machine I’d consider Bazzite, though, which has been getting a lot of hype lately.

Except Trump wouldn’t bother with mating rituals.

About 27.3.

If she was trying to protect her reputation, that’s a bit late. Nothing left to protect.

People use it for the same reason they use Truth Social.

I hear life in South Korea is pretty bleak these days. But is it really worse than a North Korean gulag?

Mint. Takes half an hour to install and set up. Doesn’t get in the way after that.

Because they’re too scared of him to do anything. Also, they’re part of a gangster syndicate so they accept this sort of thing as normal business. There will come a point when it gets too much, but I don’t think we’re there yet. And when it does happen, it’ll be fast and nobody will have seen it coming. Although many will claim to have done so after the fact.

There are no civilians when profit is involved.

They’re scared they’ll go down with him. But they’ll finally have to accept the fact that they’re fucked either way. At this point, getting rid of him is their best chance.

I’m still waiting for these fuckers to finally grow some balls.

If you don’t compile everything from source, you may as well get a Chromebook!

I’m aware of that. I read referring to this particular period. Earlier times may have had fewer working hours but had their own drawbacks, not just cave bears.
