High time we stop buying weapons from the US. The only reason paying the wildly overpriced gear is to have them provide military support when needed. If that’s not happening… then it makes no sense spending that money. Build it locally or buy it from the cheapest supplier.

🙌

I’m guessing the libs don’t want to risk retaliation by the US, as well as they don’t want the anti-communist part of the party to see them as supporting commies.

If they maintain power till after the midterms, there’s hope they won’t become an American brothel again.

This is actually shocking.

Please do VS Code. 😁

Glad to lighten up the day!

Hm. I could self-host that.

True for sure. Also the source is TASS. On the other hand it’s also true that Israel has interest in toppling the Iranian regime. It’s a well established fact that Israel 's Mossad operates within Iran and funnelling weapons furthers that interest. I don’t doubt Israel has done whatever they could to help the protest topple the regime, and I also don’t doubt the Iranian regime did what they could to pin this on Israel and other foreign actors to deflect responsibility.

That’s how the meme goes though. Anytime someone suggests, says something positive about one of vim or emacs, the response should be that they should use the other. 😄

It’s an almost 40-year-old flame war.

If it’s this useful, we’re (and them) fucked too because the economy would collapse under falling aggregate demand due to falling wages and layoffs. The “people will find new jobs” won’t save us from a shift this large without a depression. And all sorts of things happen during depressions.

How large is the dump and does it have images in it?

You really should use vim though.

How were collaborators treated the last time around though?

Please tell me this would backfire on his support.

Yeah they can’t match top of the line Li-Ion like lithium-cobalt batteries. Neither can LFP, but LFP is good enough for lower range EVs cars as they’re already used in such. Sodium ion has even lower density than LFP but not dramatically so and it’s still early days so their density is likely to improve. Look at these two cells currently on sale:

The first one is a CATL-made LFP. The second is some smaller manufacturer’s sodium ion. The 729Whr vs 713Whr, 1944cm³ vs 2593cm³. If the sodium ones can be made cheap enough, these are already usable in low range vehicles like Nissan Leaf or equivalent. And then there’s buses, trucks, other ICE powered equipment.

For a moment I hoped this could be out of desire for adventure and not need. Sigh. I didn’t mean to sound insensitive.

We used to have a couple of cows when I was a kid. Shoveling their shit was hard but they’d always let you give them a hug and lick your hand. Lived a long life and gave us a lot.

How’s the van life?
