I disagree that that warning is reasonably clear. Even the comment that included it has the line of thought, where the user, not knowing what terms git uses thinks that they just did an action that is going to change each of their files. It makes sense that they’d want to discard those changes. That user then goes on with some snark about not wanting to learn any more about what they are playing with and that other programs would do the same, but “discard changes” seems like it would have a clear meaning to someone who doesn’t know git.

The warning says it isn’t undoable but also doesn’t clarify that the files themselves are the changes. Should probably have a special case for if someone hits discard changes on a brand new repository with no files ever checked in and hits discard on a large number of files instead of checking them in. Even a “(This deletes all of the local files!)” would make it clear enough to say what the warning is really about.

Yeah and even when they did face the Nazis, the Brits were still using WWI tanks (or not much better), which were slow, got stuck easily, and barely offered any protection. They got lucky the Nazis chasing them to the coast were ordered to stop and that the citizens with boats used them to transport them back to the UK or WWII might have ended very differently.

And then the fact that they were on an island and were the head of an empire that spanned the world gave them even more time and resources to play catch up.

Hitler was also very upset when the Brits started bombing Germany instead of just focusing on dealing with the Luftwaffe bombing them.

Please predict that he appoints independent senator from Vermont that the DNC thinks is a joke and lost an election to avoid nominating to something important next.

While I do think positively of him, I’ll raise the counter example of Ronald Reagan.

She might be wearing a tube top. Need a wider angle to be sure.

That art style is pretty off-putting tbh.

It didn’t say he gave up. Maybe we all did him dirty in how we interpreted that description.

Running is when all feet leave the ground at some point during the strides, so any animal that runs could have a similar image taken when the front legs finish pushing off the ground and the back legs are in position to start their push.

Except for humans, because we still alternate legs while running and don’t have bodies parallel to the ground that our legs would end up tucked against during part of a run. Though you could still get a picture where we’re entirely airborne if you time it right and it’s a run rather than a fast walk.

I suspect that he didn’t want to help Trump in 2020 but Putin has compromat (think about his scene in Borat 2), so he went along with it but self-sabotoged (like doing that press release in front of a landscaping company and being completely unprepared for that court appearance). Putin saw through it and pulled any support he would have otherwise gotten from others that are compromised (or even turned them against him), after which cases against him were able to proceed.

Or it was actual incompetence and Putin no longer wanted to waste energy protecting him.

Or they figured someone had to take a fall after that and let it be Rudy.

Reminds me of “goof”, which was used endearingly in my family growing up, like “silly goof”. Later, when my circle overlapped with some wannabe gangsters, I find out some considered it one of the worst insults you could give.

Also has to do with most of their competitors trying to come in immediately with anti-consumer practices or being a company already known for them.

Like as soon as I saw epic was paying game companies for exclusive access, I decided to skip whatever games actually went for it.

I don’t trust a publically traded company to not enshitify by focusing on “more money” rather than setting up a sustainable business.

That’s why I don’t have issues with valve, even if their 30% cut is a bit high. Steam has been dominating its market for like 20 years now and the worst they’ve done that I know of is display some ads for games when you start up. But even that IMO could be used as an example of how to do ads right because a) they are relevant to the thing you’re doing, b) don’t rely on sharing of data between steam and who knows who else (not that I have any certainty there isn’t any data sharing going on), c) the window can just be closed and doesn’t try to fight for your attention. And I can’t even recall seeing it much recently.

Plus I’d say that they provide value by dominating that space and being the standard that any new players need to compete with.

And even if the question isn’t being asked in good faith, just dismissing it might feel like you’re showing them up, but someone who would be convinced by the bad faith question isn’t going to change their mind when they see a “just Google it, it’s so simple”.

And even for those that do search it, who knows what sources they end up looking at. “Oh, 9/10 oil execs say it’s actually ok while the 1/10 remaining just laugh when asked, so it must be ok! Oh and Fox News confirms it!” Buys another unnecessarily large truck.

How is it different other than going into a temporary container before going into the cup?

Texas, More Texas, Still Texas, Great Texas, Greater Texas, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Texas

Reporting it makes sense. Investigating if the threat was credible makes sense. If it is credible, a felony then makes sense. But if it isn’t, a fine or misdemeanor is enough. Because I do agree that there should be some consequences to discourage how casually death threats and the like are thrown out these days.

But the idea that no tolerance rules that turn kids having outbursts (disability or not) into felons makes anyone safer is laughable. Making troubled kids unnecessarily lives harder is more likely to create more danger than prevent it.

Or marked as duplicate and closed but when you click the duplicate it’s a different issue.

WWI complicated things, eg Ukraine was given up as part of the deal to get the Leninists out of the war. WWII probably didn’t help, at least in some ways. It did help with unity but a lot of Soviets died, either directly in combat or as part of the Nazi purge (Slavs/Russians weren’t seen as much better than Jews by the Nazis).

There were several factions in a civil war (Leninists, other communists, anarchists, capitalists) and all the alliances and betrayals that goes along with that. Plus outside capitalists didn’t want to see socialism or communism succeed and played interference, though I don’t think that ramped up that much until after WWII, where wars were fought to stop the spread.

Stalin had a bias for “communist-like” scientific theories, and there was one about how to grow food that came up just as a lot of farm land was being reallocated from long time landowners to people who didn’t have much experience farming. These theories weren’t very successful but those involved had a personal vestment in making others think it was working rather than failing (because gulag vs living nicely). So reports said there was tons of food being produced while there wasn’t, leading to famine, which makes it harder to bring up a brand new economy.

China also fell for those false reports and adopted the fake science themselves, which contributed to their own famine.

I don’t recall a lot of the details of that fake science, but a couple of the ideas I do remember: fit as many seeds/plants as possible into any given area because the plants will work together to strengthen their comrades. If you store seeds in the cold, it will make them more cold resistant, allowing crops that wouldn’t normally grow in some areas to thrive there.

Just those two things plus the land redistribution resulted in people who didn’t know how to farm trying to grow more crops than the land would support, sometimes picking a crop that wouldn’t even grow in that area over less desirable ones that would.

And of course it didn’t help that the Kremlin still feasted while (false) reports said there were tons of crops being produced, which were also taxed as if the production numbers were valid, so those farmers were also starving, which killed the public support momentum and they had to deal with Stalin’s brutality on top of that.

Unless you think of earth/humanity as one organism.

Marketers using all of their skills to try to sell the idea that they’re a good guy doing something people (who aren’t ad buyers) want.

Sad part is they are probably able to fool some people.

My cousin had one a few years back and said it was very painful. He didn’t end up needing more than one shot because the bat that got him tested negative, so I’m not sure how many doses it was in total.
