To let us reconstitute our army groups and restock supplies. In order to show our good faith we will withdraw troops from the northern costly tactical mistake.

They at least paid by excluding themselves from the f35 program.

Yeah well figuring out who owns what jet will mearginally harder. Like with metadata if you have a few data points it will be easy to figure out who owns what plane. And it is not like these people don’t travel much so the data points will Stack up fast.

I think people are more upset about the fact that basic laws protecting the privacy of millions are not even discussed but when a few billionaires cry that they can be tracked a law is enacted swift-ly (hehe) and public data that the government collects is no longer public.

Maybe they should focus on the greater good.

And while your privacy argument could be a good point, a plane has no privacy and just like other registers the public had a legitimate interest to know.

Or… one is bad and the other one is way worse.

Anyway this just means that a straight B-line for no longer being fossil fuel dependent is just more important.

If we can then combine that by sourcing the oil from countries that do not perform stonings and public executions in stadiums, of call it a win.

Keep in mind that not 50 years ago, we had an oil crisis that showed how incredibly depended we where, and the EU learned the hard way what energy dependence on Russia meant.

Solar, Wind and a hydro/Geothermal/nuclear baseload with at least 60 months of stored fission material would be my hope.

I think Iran is worse personally across the board. But I intentionally left that out of my comment as it does not really matter. And for minorities and women both are … unsafe.

Nah Squid, as I said I’m not looking for this discussion. I’m definitely not going into an who can out evil who debate as there is so much out there. I’m also not looking to defend any of these countries either. As I said, bad and worse.

“Amusing” and yeah the geopolitics of the 50’s and 60’s. The gift that keeps on giving. Especially the interventions done in name of big corporations are wonderful examples of nightmares that just don’t end.

Badeendje, 4 days ago (edited 4 days ago)

Absolutely, and I’m plenty entitled to my opinion.

In my original post I purposefully did not specify my opinion on which is worse as I fully understand that choosing one as more evil over the other is subjective and depends on your perspective and priorities.

Squid asked a question, fully expecting my answer to be as it was, in order to perform a gotcha. And I’m not interested in having a slapfight on which country is more evil… as the list of horribleness for each of the countries is so sickeningly long.

But in the end both countries are hellholes, tthat I would not wish my worst enemy to live in.

Edit: I’m just sad that this leads to downvotes.

I left it to the reader to fill in which is which… the definition of neutral. You also think one is worse than the other and fill in the names different than me.

So calling me out in this case means: looking for a slapfight. And you are too. Thanks but no thanks, I’ll quit this thread now.

It was only the thing that led to 3 decades of war that included most of the western world and furthered instability of the world.

You seem to just want to air ghoulish viewpoints and trashtalk the US. It luckily users can just blackhole you so we don’t have to put up with the insufferable cotrarianism.

Well the Royal family does some F’ed up stuff. Like having journalist sawed into pieces while still alive.

That looks pretty slick. Now let’s hope the gameplay is fun and they manage to foster a proper community.

Or they finally watched the last week tonight episode on this monopoly.

Not to mention the Russians will have 40 million ukranians to expend on the front line and /or work to death. Plus the Ukranian war industry is pretty impressive, even on global scale.

But it also gives these men the opportunity to serve their country. As I understood the process is limited to non violent offenders and also removes the construction of previously convicted felons to serve. As people with a criminal record could also not serve.

It does open Ukraine up to comments of the type you describe.

Running a virtual server allows you to run a server application on its own virtual machine, this eliminates the chance that (when running multiple applications from a server) the underlaying requirement for each apllication conflict.

In comparison to docker the full server can offer more native capabilities for some applications, while other applications simply only run on a full OS.

So by virtualizing the servers one large piece of Hardware can be used to run multiple servers and you can (sometimes dynamically) allocate resources as needed.

The backups can consume all computing power put of office hours while the other applications share during Office hours as needed… sometimes a bit more for VM A and sometimes a bit more for VM B.

Off course monitoring overallocation is a thing as you might end up with bottlenecks caused by peak loads that occur at the same time… the issue would be bigger when running on dedicated hardware.

And off course having multiple hardware platforms interconnected allows for a VM to be moved from hardware platform to hardware platform without interruption (license required) meaning you can perform hardware maintenance without an outage.

But this way we can get all that precious biometric data.

Anyone caught littering is convicted to 200 hours of community service in which they have to pickup trash wearing a bright orange coverall that says litterbug while wearing a helmet with a signal light on top.

This should be a very humiliating experience.

I have (and love) this one: afvalgrijper.com/…/24813,flora-afvalgrijper-105-c….

Don’t go for the cheap plastic ones they break. But I have also been informed that a lot of municipalities will give you one if you ask. Contact your afvalstoffen dienst.

Just attach a sling and carry it on your back… or attach it to the side of your backpack. Retractable just breaks unfortunately.

Badeendje, 6 days ago (edited 6 days ago)

No, off course it changes it. But so does it change for other countries if Nuclear weapons are used. And I’ll leave it at that.

I also believe what you are doing is called concern trolling so I won’t continue this back and forth.

Badeendje, 6 days ago (edited 6 days ago)

What proof… you don’t have any proof either… except for the statements by a regime that has been outright lying and bluffing this entire war. And was called on their bluf so many times we lost count.

There is no telling what a power mad dictator will do when threatened. And I agree their calculation on the use of nuclear weapons MIGHT change. But the counterweight to that is that many many more countries will isolate them and the question will be if this moves the needle in any discernible way towards actual use.

And countering my calling out your concern trolling with “no, you are” does not take away that you are here amplifying Kremlin talking points and trying to Stoke fear on the use of nuclear weapons (without actually saying nuclear) by the evil Z idiots.

Edit: jeez it seems the trolls of Lemmygrad are leaking again.

In this report, the author argues that the evidence Russia has lowered its threshold for nuclear use is far from convincing. Rather, Russia’s statements and behavior indicate more a desire to leverage its status as a nuclear power—less a lowering of the threshold than a reminder that escalation is possible and that Russia must therefore be taken seriously.

Only time will tell, but so far the caution in escalation is serving the Russians well. And even though I don’t expect NATO troops in any trenches, support roles can work. Training can also be done abroad where it is safer for all involved. There is just the logistics of moving many vs moving few.
