I wonder if it’s dawning on some of them that supporting Russia, a country with an economy the size of the Netherlands and Belgium, is probably less profitable than supporting the US defense industry and selling weapons to markets which make Russia look like Burkino Faso with nukes.
I mean, ignoring the morality or right and wrong of it all, since that’s less relevant to some of these ghouls.
Not if you go through old.reddit.

Ah, yeah. That’ll probably do it. Usually lower spec and/or mobile version graphics/cpu.
Weird. Runs fine on my i7-6700k with an rx580. Probably older than your pc.
AFAIK European law isn’t often based on common law, but Napoleonic Code / civil law. Ie. precedent is less relevant.
Also, given Meta’s been fined 2.5 billion euros in the past few years, it sounds like they’re going after the big guys first.
People will put on some shorts, a tanktop and some flip-flops, get on their bike, and ride similar speeds to that of someone on a motorbike wearing full safety gear. All while surrounded by vehicles which weigh tonnes and with the most likely surface their head will hit being the curb or some concrete. It’s stupid.
I mean, seriously. Hit your self in the head with a brick or an iron bar. You’re likely to hurt yourself badly even if you do it lightly, let alone full force.
The trick is to touch them with the back of your hand, so that the shock causes you to clench your fist and arm, and punch yourself in the face for being a fucking moron who almost killed himself.
Why would you need a freezer to treat rice?
I do genuinely enjoy buying enough rice to last a year. Also bought a great cheap rice cooker at my local Chinese grocer. Idiot proof and almost certainly saves electricity.
I think I once worked out that the rice based meal I’d just eaten had cost less than a euro to make.

How do you say “I’m very lonely” in C++?
For example, you hear a word that sounds (exactly/a bit) like another word, and can tell it’s not that other word, because the other word has a different gender. Or you only really need to learn one word because both are very similar. Some examples:
Spanish : La Nina/La Nino. Both basically the same world (female/male child) and sound the same, unlike boy/girl in English.
Dutch : Het jacht = the boat / yacht, de jacht = the hunt. No need to guess the meaning of the word from the context, you can go by gender.
Spanish: El Capital = Capital as in money, La Capital = Capital as in Capital City.
French: Un Livre = a book. La livre = pound sterling.
I live in a western European country. A few anecdotes to illustrate what Americans don’t get about healthcare:
I was involved in a serious accident and the passenger in my car was taken to hospital in an ambulance and had to have scans, etc. It ended up costing 1000 Euros.
One of my teeth needed to be replaced by a dental implant. I had it removed, a bone graft was necessary, then a few months later they drilled a metal pin into the jaw bone, then they placed a crown on it. The pin was Swiss made, the dentist did a 3d scan of the inside of my mouth for the crown. I had a few return visits. It ended up costing me 3000 Euros total, but I specifically spread the appointments around the new year: november - january. This was a big deal for me, as I was unemployed and needed to dip into my already small savings.
I had a headache, so I bought myself some paracetamol(tylenol?) at the drug store. 50 for 2 euros.
Sounds ok, right?
Here’s the thing that Americans don’t get. These are all fully private prices.
The first incident, I received a bill because it would have to be paid by the other party’s insurance. 1000 Euros was the fully private cost without government intervention. The accident had happened just across the border in another country.
The second anecdote, this was also the fully private cost. Dental implants are not covered by healthcare. I have supplemental private dental insurance (20 Euros per month), which has a maximum deductable of 2000 Euros per year. Spreading it out meant I ended up spending only a few hundred euros, after I received money from my insurance a few weeks later.
The US system isn’t just absurdly expensive for people who aren’t insured, it’s absurdly expensive compared to fully private healthcare in plenty of developed countries.
Hell, have a look at how much it costs to get plastic surgery in the US. A boob job is likely to cost you less than a visit to the ER, despite the latter being a far more involved and expensive operation.
It seems obvious to me that a lot of price gouging and anti-competitive behaviour is going on in US healthcare, and simply regulating (not privatising) properly would already make things far more affordable. How else can you explain healthcare costs per capita being up to three times as high as comparably developed countries, but outcomes often being worse? Healthcare shouldn’t have to cost this much. The healthcare industry can make a reasonable profit while charging far more reasonable prices.
TLDR: you’re getting ripped off, but you have no choice in the matter, because what are you going to do if it’s an emergency? You can’t just leave the country.

If you want to use whatsapp:
If someone else has an old (and/or prepay) sim which can receive texts, you can authenticate whatsapp that way. IRC you can also authenticate with a landline. Install whatsapp using the landline number, wait for SMS authentication to fail, then it should ask to call you. Say yes, and you’ll get a call with the authentication code. Et voila.
My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels
Good luck with that, is all I can say. Kids are very susceptible to peer pressure, especially as they enter their teen years. It’s only when they’re in their late teens that they’ll open up again and start becoming more critical.
A lot of stuff is meditation.
Eg. so called ‘motorcycle emptiness’ is very similar to zen meditation. You’re entirely focussed on the here and now. Same thing for driving (fast), gardening, golf, sports, etc.
Vanity. It’s the Devil’s favourite sin.
Next year will be a bit dicey, but after that they’re done. Europe alone can outspend Russia 100 times without breaking a sweat. They’ll bankrupt themselves, again.
