Oh, I see. But apparently it was not communicated enough since even a police man took it as a danger.
Regarding live bullets, I was only joking. It was something done in training certain special troops in Italy during world war I. Many people died during training indeed.
That operation was not very well planned out. How do you do a training in public space without extensively informing the population beforehand?
This is the least that could happen, imagine the panic in the population which could have arisen. Possibly people having hearth attacks and stuff like that.
Besides, you’re in the military; grow up and train with live bullets.
I am aware of the strategy, that falls under the first of the three scenarios I described.
The objective of Ukraine is regaining the entirety of its territories, the strategy is how it gets to that point.
That is why I believe the graph is good and completely correct, but does not really highlight something particularly significant for the war itself.
Unless it’s for salad, I just run them under some water. Same for potatoes.
Time is too short for peeling vegetables.
Fair enough, prioritise people who actually work and do things. They deserve housing before anyone else.
Then also people who do not work and make money off of others people’s work may have a house.
Would not advise Debian to a new user. Old packages and difficulties installing non free software may frustrate people.
I did use Debian as my daily driver and I have it in a few servers, it is a very good system. But to the common user stability is not the priority which should prevail over everything else.
General use package? Sure Specialized package to do something specific in a specific field? Good luck.
I still have flashbacks of installing a c++ library which had to be transpired (or whatever the term is) to c# for another library to work, and having to go manually fix several function and type declarations manually to make it work. And we are talking about the golden standard library in the field…
I at times have to install completely undocumented software. I love ccmake as it lists all available options. I guess there are other ways, but that makes it so easy.
Then it’s just a couple of days figuring out all necessary libraries.
How do you have more available space on your machine than on your nas? You can exclude directories easily with rsync, but in this case the best solution to me feels like buying an additional drive to stick into your nas.
Oh, that is true. I was looking at the one turned over which appears to me to have brown spores. It’s difficult to tell these things from a single picture.
The axis does start at 0. The graph does show slow advance on part of Russia, but also shows no advance on part of Ukraine since 2022. The graph shows about 20% of the country in currently occupied, which is 1/5th and it is not a negligible amount.
This graph depicts the war objective of Ukraine, which is freeing all its occupied territories. Progress over that objective has not been achieved in a long while. The graph does not depict the Russian war objective (at least the declared one) of conquering Donetsk and Luhansk. Providing a graph of that may be more informative regarding the war progresses of Russia.
It would also be important to judge whether amount of occupied territory is actually significant in this war. I don’t think it matters too much, as it is not parameter that will make Ukraine stop fighting unless Russia conquers the totality of it. But Russia does not appear to be going for full occupation, nor to be able to do it. You could play with many other parameters that seem more important for this war: industrial capacity, arms reserves, man reserves, etc.
These graphs are anyway just part of the story and can be interpreted in many ways.
Assuming Ukraine has strong support and with time will be able to repeal attacks -> Russia is too slow in conquering and the war will turn tides at a certain point. Assuming Russia has strength to keep fighting in these conditions indefinitely -> Russia will slowly but surely conquer the entirety of Ukraine. Assuming some kind of pact will be made soon -> Russia has strong diplomatic powers as it controls a large part of Ukraine and most of its objectives.
Rented a flat from a family for 3 years. The flat had not been renewed in over 60 years, but I was alright with that. The flat had several problems, they never wanted to fix.
One day the electrical system starts going out over and over again, fuses would burn every few days. I had to tell them that in case of fire they’d be responsible for everything I had in the house before they agreed they should fix the electric system.
Since they were going to fix the electric system, they decided to do a bit more work and change the floor and a few things more. They wanted to increase the rent 50% to account for these improvements; even though that is illegal I accepted, since they were in fact improving the flat.
I had to move out for two months while the works were going on. One week before the end of the works, the flat was really not done yet. I asked several times whether it would be ready, because I’d need to find and accomodation in the meanwhile. I asked for a discount of half a month so that I could cover expenses and because nobody knew when they would actually complete the works.
The day before I was supposed to get back into the flat, they decided that I was posing way too many conditions and kicked me out. They decided to keep the safety deposit because a plastic floor old over 60 years had started cracking. 8 months later, they still have some boxes of stuff which is mine but never have time to meet me to give it back to me.
Time has passed and I still have to go to a lawyer, because I the meanwhile I had a bunch of trouble to solve. I’m sure I can win a trial against them, but even if I do win the trial I’ll have gone through a bunch of trouble just to get my safety deposit back. I’ll be doing it just because they need to fuck off, but still…
Now, most people renting places were I live are exactly like this. It is not big corporations, it people who got one or maybe a few flats on rent.
How can this work though? I bought this from this company in Rio de Janeiro, that city is not part of deforestation. This is the GPS position of the company. This is satellite imagery of the company. The company buys stuff from other producers in Brazil, we’re confident none of those are taking place in deforested areas.
What would satellite data even be? Here you can see our satellite tracking this soy bean from when it was planted, grown, harvester and transported to Europe.
I mean, the idea does not seem bad. But how do you apply this normative?
Professors started writing books for the students to study. Will students get smarter or stop thinking?
Oh, that is great pricing then compared to what I’m seeing now. However, in here 4 years ago car prices were much lower, even during COVID.
I’ll explain a few things which may not be obvious. When I say lowest price available I mean you’re buying a car which is over 20 years old directly from the owner. The most likely reason the owner is selling it is that it needs some repairs, and he decided he does not want to bother and is getting a new one. Repairs will likely be 1,000€ upfront, you may be lucky and spend a little less; but that is unlikely.
Someone may consider that it may be worth spending a bit more in order to get a more reliable car with a longer life.
Car prices went up very much: my mother bought a car for 500€ 8 years ago and is now considering selling it for 3,000€.
I don’t know whether this is the same in the US, it may very well be that people just want new shiny cars. In here, I know many people who have been working for over 20 years who wish to change car but are now screwed because it is not feasible with their finances.
From the picture it looks like brown spores to me. I had never seen Armillaria sp, but from pictures I must say it does look very similar.
I’m not sure about the spores color, could be white or could be brown. That color resembles very much the color of cyclocybe just picked. It goes more brown a while after picking.
In my experience, used cars always need immediate repairs to get them running. That is what I’d expect from a car I’d pay 2,000€ now. I’d assume an immediate payment of another 2,000€ in repairs to get it running. Probably you can run it immediately, but with several problems which will quickly deteriorate its life span if you don’t do that.
It would be different if you were to buy a refurbished car, but those are more expensive.
The difference in price anyway accounts for the high difference in prices between my country and most parts of the US. I live in a cheap European country, the US is way more expensive. I do not know car prices in the US, but if price difference with other things I do know of stands, I would not be surprised for a 50%-100% increase in prices compared to the ones I know.
Yes. In Italy train travel, and especially bus travel, is still somewhat affordable. In most other places you feel just stupid in paying 100€ to cross 300 kilometres when you can go much farther with 30€ on a plane…
Even in Europe it is quite difficult to find a new car for less than 20,000€. If you need a car because you just found a job which is far and you need to ride to get there, taking a loan is your only option.
I guess you can buy a used car, but likely you can not apply to a loan for that and definitely the loan will not cover the necessary repairs to get it to a working state.
Yes, the keyring is a pain, also because I like to manually check all the keys. But then what often happens is that lots of configuration options have changed and you have to go through bunch of software to find out which exact package is now misconfigured and makes your system not work as it should.
