One trick for employers to get rid of unwanted employees is to simply not ansign them work. Constant and deliberate boredom is a lot harder on the mind than it sounds.

So yes, if the gym and/or a maths book is all you got you WILL do that.

For the Benefit of Mankind.

Fighting fire with fire.

Oh no! Who could have predicted that there is a connection to Trump? /s

Is your problem with the news site or the article in particular? Because the only part of the article that I’d complain about is:

At the same time, the Romanian Armed Forces will not be able to sustain this level of expenditure in the long term if Russian drones continue to violate the country’s airspace as frequently.

What’s the source of this claim? The overall assessment seems OK to me. NATO forces are regularly using high cost ammunitions to shoot down cheap drones. In the long term that’s a problem.

The headline is misleading. The whole operation was spearheaded by a former top spy of Ukraine basically as a private venture. Apparently they contacted the then commander in chief of the Ukrainian military Valerii_Zaluzhnyi but were told they are on their own and not to contact Zelenskyy. Zaluzhnyi is a direct political opponent of the president and was later sacked and reassigned as ambassador to the United Kingdom. It is therefore highly unlikely that Kyiv the Ukrainian government was involved in this.

There are certainly a lot of open questions about the whole incident but IMO an involvement of the Ukrainian government can be ruled out due to the people organizing the whole operation.

If you are able to understand German or can tolerate YouTube’s auto translations there is a recent interview of an investigative journalist and author on the topic.

The Uyghurs.

If you have to ask you are not doing it right

Winnie the Pooh, probably

I think similar how the EU adopted the USB-C as mandatory standard for charging, it should force other industries, including software vendors, to follow commonly defined standards.

In case of browsers that is Chrome using it’s de facto monopoly to force other browser to rush to catch up with their custom crap. Yes, as a side effect that would also break a lot of existing webpages because they rely heavily on browser bending over backwards to accommodate sites serving effectively broken HTML i.e. but in the long term this would improve the internet as a whole.

So? The US is attacking Iranian ships.

The military collapsed in a matter of days. Yet the conflict didn’t end for years, which is the whole premise of the article and every conflict mentioned.

I’m still somewhat convinced Progozhin’s plan was to get hold of a live nuke from a depot along the way to Moscow via “politely” asking Schoigu for the authorization codes, who was supposed to visit Rostov-on-Don alongside Gerassimow when it all kicked off. Apparently, someone tipped them off.

Oh, come on, China. Could you please not?

At first glance I was expecting a revisionist history blog.

Because it’s what we have always done.

How about we stop producing more carbondioxid instead of finding new creative ways to deal with it? No? OK, carry on then.

Germany and NATO will start a special operation to come to the aid of the suppressed German minority any day now! /s

How the turn tables!

Well, go pick it yourself then? Quite a few job openings available, it seems.
