She’s defending Russia’s imperialism in broad daylight. She’s saying Ukraine is to small to defend themselves from Russia. If that argument was valid, who else wouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves from Russia? Belarus, Georgia, Estonia. Is Russia entitled to invade and conquer all of them simply because they are significantly larger? Ukraine didn’t start an unwinnable war. They are defending themselves and fighting for their very lives

I’m an embedded software engineer, too. While I love my job (for the time being) I definitely need to do other stuff with my free time. A junior colleague of mine couldn’t understand why I bake my own bread rolls when I could save so much time by just buying them, but I’m sure in time he’ll get there.

If they think nuclear energy is the best solution, the AI and data centre companies should just fund and build them themselves. The truth is that no nuclear power plant is ever build without public funds and/or guarantees. They are only ever profitable because of subsidies

I can kind of see why some NIMBYs don’t want wind turbines near their homes (don’t get me wrong, it’s still bullshit), but why would anyone complain about solar?

Not really. That bar was 62.5g while modern ones are 40g. So to offset shrinkflation you’d have to eat about 1.5 modern bars, not 3-4.

Maybe not any other book. Well, thinking about it, if they’d read the bible instead, at least there’s a good chance it stops them from becoming religious. So maybe ANY other book is correct after all

Professional pizza ovens do reach temperatures between 350°C and 500°C. So 420°C isn’t unreasonable for a pizza, your oven at home probably won’t get that hot though.

While pulling teeth is still quite barbaric, replacing teeth uses quite a lot of modern technology. For example 3D scans and 3D printing are common tools in creating dentures these days

When the dot com bubble bursted, the typical internet speed was 56k modem speed and cellular internet practically didn’t exist. At that point the internet still needed years of exponential technological advancement to allow for stuff like streaming amd mobile services. The difference with the AI bubble is that they try to brute force their way out of infancy by throwing ludicrous amounts of money, energy and other recources at it instead of waiting for the much needed technological progress

Maybe I’m gonna be bashed for this but isn’t this a good solution?

No, it’s an absolutely horrible solution. It’s yet another tax to the average Joe, playing out people with and without children against each other, while the rich continue to hoard more and more wealth, draining everyone else dry. The government is planning to reduce the benefits of parents at the very same time, so their goal is most certainly not some fairness or balance between parents and non-parents, they just fuck everyone over for the benefit of a few rich elites.

Additionally:

• if you’re severely overweight, some cardio routines can be a serious health risk. If you’re way too heavy, your joints won’t be able to sustain long walks or jogging
• slow and steady wins the race. Don’t expect yourself to lose all the excess weight in a matter of months. That’s almost impossibly difficult and even if successful likely no healthy. Instead develop healthy habits and let the results come in naturally over time

Nah, I’m 100% with you. I love riding my bike outside, the fluidity of movement, leaning into bends and corners, the breeze of fresh air and so much more that’s simply lacking on a trainer.

@grok What does this image mean?

My desktop PC is already significantly more powerful than my Steam Deck, yet I game on my Steam Deck significantly more. I don’t see any point in upgrading my PC when indy games that run on a potato are more fun than poorly optimized AAA slop that somehow manages the lag the fuck out of the best hardware money can buy.

Is Meta even active in China or are they blocked by the CCP? If so you can remove 1.4 billion people from the list of potential users, meaning an even crazier market saturation

Here is a fixed link

Win 10 being murdered is the important distinction. It’s not the first time Microslop released a shitty and unpopular Windows version, but previously you always had the option to stay on an older still supported version.

I’m quite happy with my 8BitDo 2 Ultimate, which has many features of the Steam Controller like TMR sticks, 4 extra rear buttons and gyro and has a better polling rate at 1000 Hz and is cheaper (~$56). It does however lack the track pads and advanced haptic feedback of the Steam Controller.

Trying to force Iran out of the World Cup is insanity on it’s own, but trying to force Italy in is another insanity on its own. Should Iran be unable to compete for whatever reason, their spot should probably go to Bolivia or Jamaica, who were defeated in the final round of the intercontinental playoffs, or maybe to the United Arab Emirates as the best team from their confederation that didn’t qualify.
