I am all in favour for handing Ukraine the tools they need to win this war. But at the same time “the others are doing it” is no justification for a free pass on every weapon or tactic.

The Russians butchered civilians, destroyed critical civilian infrastructure and yet I’d rather prefer the Ukrainians to not do the same.

Also anti personal mines and cluster munitions from i.e. the Vietnam war are still causing crippling and death today. Using weapons that are prone to cause damage to future generations for short term gains is in my opinion short sighted. We should provide Ukraine with more “sensible” weapons in quantities that makes using cluster munitions and mines obsolete.

Pepe was and always has been a neutral meme figure. And I’m not going to let some fking nazis take my meme frog!

Vetoes need to be abolished. But since the veto powers will veto any such motion, the UN is going to stay a toothless tiger.

How to apply a simple pressure dressing is part of the basic medical training course, which is mandatory to get a driving licence in Germany.

Anything that such a dressing can’t stop does require professional help and will kill you, crisis or not.

'murica, fuck yeah!

Let me guess: Field research to (in)validate his belief is out of the question?

I’m not really deep into WordPress, but that Mullenweg guy seems to have a couple conflicts of interest.

How so? I haven’t really kept up with 4B, so this is a genuine question.

Not all batteries in the world have to be made of lithium. Depending on the use case other materials cab be even superior.

Unless you’re ready to fill the country with a thousand battery farms,

Oh I am totally ready to do that. A third of these batteries will be actually farms, a third will be sitting stationary in everybodies cellars and sheds and the other half will be rolling on the streets in form of electric vehicles.

Top off your own batteries and EV with surpluses during excess production and drain them during dry situations. Most people seem to forget that EVs can work both ways.

Russia also has one of the largest reserves of uranium in Eurasia as well, only behind Kazakhstan.

Also Germany would only trade one teat for another. Energy indepences is only possible by using renewables.

Lastly every energy corporation has said they won’t touch nuclear with a twelve feet pole because it is too expensive and there is no insurance agency willing to back them up.

The nuclear horse IS dead.

Hold my bacon, one can patent the idea that a game character switches mounts depending on a given state? (Image 3)

That’s when they change something.

Yes, but there is a quite a gap between ordering tanks and equipment and receiving said order.

South Korean armouries might have to start working overtime soon.

The “Ready Player One” approach might also help.

I have no English sources on hand, but there have been multiple parcels found across Europe that contained firebombs. In one case, the bomb didn’t go off mid-flight because the flight was delayed.

The heads of German intelligence agencies had their annual public hearing recently, making it very clear that Russia considers Germany an enemy. As far as I can tell, the response by our senior political figures has been deafening silence and inaction.

So Putin is not stupid at all. He is just counting on the continued indecisiveness of most western leaders.

During university I gave additional lessons for lower semesters and at times had to juggle three languages: Java, Typescript and plain JavaScript for that one professor who thought TS sucks.

Coding on the spot got really messy at times.

That’s alright as long as I can use the Cyclops instead.

Smoking accidents can happen everywhere! Only YOU can prevent forest fires!

Which alternatives do you recommend?
