Well, as long as they forgo on the principle of Wabi-sabi as we do not need that mindset in space and your life depends on it.

Isn’t it his constitutionally right to bear arms though?

I’ll get my coat…

Don’t let anyone call you antisemitic

That ship of having the phrase have any meaning has sailed decades ago, at least for me. It is a sign you are on the right side of truth as this line of ‘defense’ is always used to cover up something morally wrong which Israel is being called out for.

“hardline Hindu monk”

What does he practice, full contact yoga? Mahabharata style asceticism?

I believe that the money ‘demanded’ was for the for-profit organization Automattic. Wordpress (i.e. Matt) then tries to make it all about the Foundation. This seems to be false and a ruse to make it seem like a non-profit is fighting a company.

This is a dispute between WPEngine and Automattic.

I have not seen the footage but I can imagine they elevated the Russian narrative from “special military operations” to “this is a very real war where Russia started to roll into Ukraine where massive amounts of people died, including Russian soldiers”. If this is the message Ukraine sent to the general public then I support that truth.

Business outsources work they were hired to do : smart business! Employee outsources his work he was hired to do: scam!

I hate that.

There was some room for increasing the intensity :-)

How 'bout living in a lake, hmm? I guess that is beneath you eh? You probably think a shoebox is also not ideal? 😂

You had a house in the middle of the highway?

Luxury!

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down the mill for fourteen hours a day week in week out, for sixpence a week. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

And you try and tell the young people today that… and they won’t believe ya’

As someone who know f-all about AI I support your endorsement, if only by being impressed the training took 2.5 trillion tokes so you know that AI smokes like a banger!

And rape, do not forget the russian basterds consider rape a normal thing to do in countries you occupy:

“Understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometres through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle”
“We lecture our soldiers too much; let them have their initiative.” – Stalin

Expect nothing but brutal barbarian filth from the russians, it is what they are used to and are told is OK to do. It is a despicable state filled with horrible people. Yes, this is generalizing but in this case it is warranted.

“Somebody’s Got To Go Back And Get A Shit-Load Of Dimes, you piece of shit” “Where the white women at, you piece of shit?”

Perhaps by some definition it is. Or not.
For me it is common sense. What is war if not eliminating as much of your opponent as you can? You take every opportunity you can to inflict as much pain, hurt and loss onto your enemy as possible.

Bit of free advice should anyone in charge be listening 😀 (they are not of course)

Have a couple of drones swarming the area you bomb. Once the big one has exploded, people tend to panic and/or be in disarray. And when humans are in that condition, they tend to ‘clump’ together and not pay attention to protocols and safety guidelines. That’s when the mop-up drones come in and take groups of soldiers out by attacking these stressed out groups.

You’re welcome.

Turbo… It’s that damn “turbo” again but now AI

In the eighties “turbo” was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label “turbo” on it. Now it will be “AI” all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it’s gonna be wild…

I love how you give all this reasonable and sensible advice on movements and equipment but I think the russian army is just not that clever, disciplined and equipped to do all the things you mention, nor do they care 😂

They’d be throwing rocks and shovels if russian command demands them to. It’s a meat grinder, they do not care about personnel, they expect you to give up because you cannot keep up with the killing of their men. That is the russian tactic and way of doing things. Overwhelm you with bodies and once the surviving bodies get a hold of you, they will be brutal towards you like you live in a nightmare, due to the facts that the surviving soldiers will have an insane amount of hate towards you for killing so many of their comrades. Ask Germany how that went at the end of the war.

People in power are put into or were allowed to seize that power. Not saying 100% of russia is behind putin but enough are. For me russians are part of the proble and I will not defer to putin and make him a scapegoat. russians need to take responsibility and until they do, I have no kindness or consideration for them.

Nuance is all fine and well, I bet the people getting raped and killed will have (had) a different opinion. I will stand with Ukraine if you do not mind and leave sympathy where it belongs: Ukraine

Now why would the world hate russia, hmmm? Could it be the war and killing you do in Ukraine? The threats against other democracies? The bullying of other countries and persons? The megalomaniac tendencies of that monkey putin?

No sympathy from me…

People in this thread talking about how these are humans and we need to have some compassion?
How about you reserve that compassion for the Ukrainians killed by those same bastards?

You walk into a country not yours and start shooting, killing people that live there? I could not care less if you get shot or blown to pieces when you do that. It really is that simple.
