If not for lacing boots, maybe for climbing into something high off the ground, like a truck? I immediately thought of mounting horses, but I think I forgot which century it is.
I’ve never played CS or any other city builder but love EU4, Stellaris, and Victoria 3. CS always struck me as a very different genre - I wonder what the overlap in the Paradox community is. Did anyone here go from grand strategy -> city builder? How was the learning curve?
Refusing to negotiate, especially when the finish line is in sight, creates significant unease among employees and customers and threatens to disrupt the U.S. economy. Only our non-union competitors benefit from the Teamsters’ actions.
We’re proud of what we’ve put forward in these negotiations, which deliver wins for our people. The Teamsters should return to the table to finalize this deal.
“We break our backs working for this company. UPS needs to recognize our sacrifices not just with empty words, calling us ‘essential workers,’ but by putting the pay, benefits, and protections we deserve into a contract,” said Cesar Castro, a part-time UPS Teamster with Local 396 in Los Angeles and a member of the Teamsters National Negotiating Committee. “Every UPS Teamster expects this by July 5 or we will be ready to strike.”
UPS recorded $100 billion in revenue and over $13 billion in profits last year alone.
Makes you wonder who UPS PR means when they say “our people”. Negotiation to acceptable terms is the responsibility of the company, not the workers. That is part of the basic requirements of running a corporation.
From this article, it sounds like Threads won’t have ActivityPub federation enabled from the start. While I don’t want my entire feed dominated by brands and celebrities on Threads, I’m not convinced we should jump immediately to defederation. One of the reasons why I joined on this instance was the low defederation count. I’d lean more toward “wait and see” for now.

Yeah this same thing happened to me. I rarely get messages in signal anymore and can’t reliably know who still has it installed. It’s great for folks you are in regular communication with though.
Just thought I’d share this creator who has really helped me learn the mechanics of Vicky 3. Since this was my first game in the series, I had a hard time initially translating my deep EU4 knowledge to the game. This series reminds me in some ways of the old Reman’s Paradox videos that taught me the economics of EU4....

Will this instance defederate from Facebook's "threads"?
Personally I think Facebook should face as much pushback as possible, unless we want them to do to this what Google did to XMPP.
Who is this dude? (infosec.pub)
It’s an inkwell, seems old, possibly bronze, but who is it supposed to be?
