If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.

1·2 days agoYeah you’re right but Ukraine also specifically targets hard to repair or replace components that need sanctioned western parts to repair.

19·2 days ago“blessed are the πραεῖς, for they shall inherit the earth”
πραεῖς = praeis = meek (closest English word. Not great imo) = Greek word that describes a person who has strength but restrains it. A strong man who yokes himself for the good of his community and for God. Someone capable of force, who is restrained by discipline against their own impulses.
There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.
Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.
Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world
Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now
Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.
Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries
Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.
Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.

171·2 days agoI guess this is countered by Ukraine repeatedly hitting their refineries

Here’s an infographic dated May 8th. The oil barrel in the bottom left shows the theoretical maximum impact of strikes if they somehow took all refineries they hit offline completely.
Ukraine is pretty good at targeting the right units when they hit a refinery, but it’s not perfect. Either way looking at economic output sources Russia made half as much money from oil last year as 2022, and the refinery strikes are picking up speed. Tuapse was a giant hit to them. Ukraine hit it 5 times in a row… Most of Russia’s biggest oil refineries feeding Europe have been hit repeatedly by long range drones.
Edit: clarity and structure.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Am I the only one that believe the US has to go through some sort of painful transition/civil war/revolution to fix it? Is reforms from Democrats enough?
4·3 days agoYeah I agree with you there. It’s going to be a free for all once that happens…
It helps to soak them overnight, then boil them with salt for 10 minutes prior to pressure cooking. It’s worth the extra effort IMO especially for red kidney or black beans. The boiling with salt helps reduce the fart generation, and the salt firm’s up the skins a bit so they don’t fall apart into refried beans
Pronouncing it “nitch” is how biologists pronounce niche when talking about “that thing an organism does well to survive”
I’ve had better luck with pressure cooking them. It seems to help somehow?

I guess one benefit is rust development often doesn’t use bleeding edge version for everything, where you pull the entirety of crates.io through your machine when you open your IDE. From what I’ve seen most projects use == versions and lock files.
I don’t know enough about rust though. Could an attacker change historical crate versions to a payload and then cargo pulls them because they changed? Or will cargo only pull an update if you change to a different version on your machine?
