capturing would be of little use as Ukraine doesn’t have ammunition to them, or even a way to get more. Efforts to get Ukraine more artillery ammunition are focused on NATO standard rounds which will not fix in these.

This is the typical days haul of artillery for a long time. However Russia is known of have a lot of artillery in various stockpiles. The number destroyed isn’t the point so much as it forced Russia to go back for even older artillery to replace it. Already we see them using systems designed in WWII (AFAIK nothing that saw service in WWII, but things designed then and built after the way).

Also forces gussia to divert troops for defense.

Targeted layoffs are tricky to pull off. You can be sued for wrongful dismissal and then you need to show you were not targeting that person by anything other than random. You can easially lay off everyone on a project. Anything where you select individuals is risky if they can somehow argue you choose them because of some status (minority or whatever - even white male is not a status you can dismiss someone on) . Don’t get me wrong, companies lay off part of a department all the time - but they would prefer to not do that.

Even if someone quits from a department you don’t want to lose people from, you can just transfer an employee from a different department that didn’t lose enough people. So this is good enough and someone who quits cannot sue.

Also if someone quits they cannot collect unemployment. Generally governments track how often a company lays off employees and charges higher unemployment rates to those who lay off more people so getting people to quit saves you here too.

The market does tend to overreact so this is possible a sign to buy low. I can’t be bothered to check the fundamenals but it seems unlikely that amd is a better investment long term. If you are not looking at least 5 years to the future stocks are a bad idea.

It probably wasn’t before. Hard to say, but it is unlikely this won’t cause a limit. Someone will need to do without after this though it probably won’t be drones. Still however that is just got a worse life even if they never know it.

i can’t wait for the day content is there. I always look there first but too often I can’t find anything close to what I want.

At least you can get out.

inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.

Or make them faster and cheaper than russia.

kbin/mbin is another alternative. I have no idea how the moderation tools are, but it is open source.

ai has been doing that trick since the 1950s. There have been a lot of use coming out of ai, but it has never been called ai once successful and never lived up to the early hype. some in the know about all those previous ones were surprised by the hype and not surprised about where it has gone, while others pushed the hype.

The details have changed but nothing else.

Nobody today is not coming to my house. However the world has not always changed in ways I like. If the media companies want to make an example of somebody they might randomly pick me. If I have physical media they will not be able to convince the general public I’m a dishonest thief and so even though I might be legally in the wrong for ripping DVDs they will stay away: they are going to look for someone who they can make look like a dishonest thief in the court of public opinion. They are not looking to take me to court and win whatever damaged they are owned from my activity (it will cost them about 100 times as much $$$ in lawyers fees - they would probably win but it isn’t worth it), what they would be looking for is to make an example in the news about how much someone loses and if I have physical media they instead look like jerks for enforcing a law on something that the generally public wouldn’t even call a crime.

I store the discs because while ripping is of questional legallity by having the discs I have the morals right.

firefox works great. You don’t need an app for everything.

Peertube exists. Use it.

now I will admit that peertube is lacking content, but when you make something put it there. When you want something search there first and check out youtube last. This rewards those who publish there with your eyeballs

Last I heard they have 3, but there are more on the way (but none seem to arrive) Of course the real numbers are classified: everything I have access to is potentially wrong though often people without access to classified information are able to figure out the truth they sometimes get it wrong.

China wants Taiwan. While some land in Russia might be nice it isn’t a big deal. They like Russia getting away with attacking Ukraine because it sets a global precedent that large powers can take over weaker powers.

Don’t have China become involved in the conflict.

This is the tricky one for China - if Russia continues on the path they are clearly look to go, they will be attacking NATO next which in turns means NATO will go full war to respond and China will be forced to figure out how they respond to that. Could go in many different ways of course.

I hope it never gets that far, but that depends on Ukraine winning.

Finding the replacement is what worries me.

Well that and if the bed is going how is the frame

The bed is starting to rot off my 1999 truck, I’m not sure how or if I should repair it

Drones in a lot of ways resemble post WWI or early WWII aircraft - slow speed (not jet powered) and so what worked back then still works. Will drones move to high speed jet powered aircraft or remain slow speed - that is an open question (and a mix might be correct), only time will tell.
