For sure, it wasn’t super widely reported at the time. Nuclear weapons and foreign policy just happen to be “special interests” for me so I tend to follow things like that.

There was a sincere risk of Russia using nuclear weapons earlier in the conflict, around the winter of 2022/2023 when the first major Russian mobilization of 600k failed to achieve the desired outcomes and the North Western front started to collapse. The released intelligence info put it at about 50/50.

This is why, at the time, the Biden administration made several clearly coded messages/announcements that nuclear weapons usage in Ukraine would result in an overwhelming conventional retaliation that would remove Russian military capability from the board. It’s also part of the reason nations were so slow to provide advanced support capabilities. There was a fear (justified, imo) that immediately opening the floodgates and giving Ukraine tanks, jets, advanced missiles, and using those missiles to strike deep in Russian territory would result in usage of nuclear weapons. It still is a risk, honestly. If Ukraine started doing heavy damage to Moscow, there’s a real chance Putin might decide to flip the table over rather than lose the game.

Native slotting into server drive cages. No concerns about alignment with the front or back.

As someone working in the field, that’s what makes everything happening the biggest US policy blunder ever. The NPT is dead in the water and it was completely preventable.

There was a jump between old early gen SATA SSDs and modern NVMe in my opinion, but it’s really only noticable if you’re running something like a game with a huge amount of data to load, and you’re actively comparing the two.

My old PC had several different hard drives of differing types and I’d periodically be too lazy to move a game from one drive to another so I’d play it off different drives over a period of time, and was able to compare the loading times.

So I’d say they’re faster, but it’s nowhere near the leap that HDD to SSD was.

I understand why he didn’t, obviously, but the whole time I watched that happen all I could think was, “PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE”

This is just a modern iteration of the book HOLES, and it takes place in a landfill instead of a dry lakebed.

Highly dependent on the degree to which it’s contagious. But you’re right, especially considering we’re looking at one of the worst flu seasons in more than a decade currently. If all flu cases were 50% lethal that’d be 10-15 million deaths.

The big event will be someone with regular human flu getting bird flu, giving the virus opportunities to swap DNA segments. If it gets the transmissibility of our standard influenza and the lethality of bird flu, it’ll be a rough six months to a year before we have vaccines for it as it rips through our population.

Especially considering flu vaccines are made with eggs, and this disease is currently thoroughly decimating our egg producing livestock.

Between this and Gaza (and everything else), I really honestly don’t think we have seen a person in all of human history who checks more boxes of being the antichrist.

Like fuck, he literally brings pestilence and disease with him.

Hey, they’re useful as a pithy response generator, especially to someone asking for something stupid in person, which is how I use mine. Also decent for moments of indecision lol.

I’m so mad about the time I had to spend learning about the fucking food pyramid

Lmao we’ll be playing it in full dive VR in 2045

I have it for fan/led management on my pc and it has so much potential, but overall is just so bad and has so little support.

I just want to skip from here to getting murdered by a Megan Fox sexbot maid

A few of my friends and myself ended up with the network admin password, so we had full administrative access to every computer. Ah, the good old days.

I pretty much had to set a limit with my wife. Like you can have these 4 giant tote bins filled with yarn supplies and two baskets of projects in progress but if you want more than that you have to give some away.

I had to make a boundary because it was getting out of hand.

If only it were easier to organize into teams without being infiltrated by disguised fed boys, but only the right is allowed to do that.

It’s almost like the uniting factor of the people is class. I feel like there was a historical figure once, who was assassinated for trying to pivot from race to class because the government saw the danger of a united population.

Every other cause is a distraction from that one.
