The main goal is to stop people from dying with hopes of making the stopping of the dying permanent. Considering Russia wants all of Ukraine and Ukraine obviously doesn't want to be taken over by Russia, there isn't much middle ground to build upon a ceasefire.

The best way to ensure peace is to give Ukraine the tools they need to repel the invader. Secondary tariffs on anyone helping Russia is certainly helpful in repelling the invader.

A lighthouse uses the same lens, just with the light coming from the inside. Since this is old knowledge, what is the drawback? Why isn't this widespread?

My completely uninformed guess:

• The lens and assembly costs too much compared to just more solar panels
• The lens/panel combo is so bulky/prone to failure it becomes unreasonable to actually install/use.

Are the cops in the US really that bad?

News items are news because they are rare. The US amplifies it's negatives in search of eyeballs and in search of fixing problems. The average officer is average, not the extreme you see on the news.

Intel has always been a two cookie company

Intel sat on 4 cores with exceptionally high power usage for a decade while everyone was screaming for more. This resulted in Apple starting up their own damn chip business, and AMD smashing through the wall with 6, 8, 12, and 16-core chips available to the masses; and core counts requiring a third damn digit if you go server. Furthermore, Intel's process node is woefully behind TSMC's.

Intel sat on their laurels and are getting shat on from all angles now.

I think Fabled is using 'Moisturefox' as a stand-in for all Firefox forks, with Waterfox being the primary basis for the stand-in.

AdGuard blocks ads on iOS.

Google blocked a bunch of ad-blocker addons in Chrome by killing the APIs they rely on. Several of my friends have been complaining about it, while the rest told them to stop using a browser that actively fights them.

I guess they are finally going to put it out to pasture. Maybe it can catch on fire one more time during the transit, for old times sake.

Yeah, Heroic is the way to play GOG games in Linux.

Though I have not tried it in VR, I have no reason to think that would present an issue here.

Yeah, I'm just going to wait and see. If it's good, I'll buy it, otherwise I won't.

From this article:

the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

The FTC is free to issue this again. They need to do it in accordance with the law next time.

DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)

Tons of well-simulated combat aircraft. IL-2 is probably the closest simulator to it.

Don't finance DLC purchases. If you are that bad off for money, you need to just play the games you already own.

The united snakes doing what they always done

Yeah, how dare the pentagon buy arms with money they were given by Congress. Damn snakes they are!

Yeah, this is a bridge too far. If they try to enforce this, shit is going to hit the fan for them.

That said, I have no intention of giving them money in the first place. The sheer hubris of this policy...

Yeah, I'm confused on what else the Pentagon would be spending money on.

The court ruled specifically on the stay. The case itself is still before lower courts.

Yeah, this is what's primarily happening. A third-party imports the chips to a random country for [perfectly valid use], then resells them to Russia at a markup. It's one of the reasons you see more and more sanctions packages. Some of those are sanctioning perpetrators of industrial level sanctions evasion as described here.

And while you can never stop it, driving up the price and reducing supply to Russia is helpful. Particularly when paired with lethal aid to Ukraine.

But will it continue to be your last post in the future? Or is it simply your last post at this moment?
