  • You shouldn't have to wait for long...

    Another Jan 6, another attempted coup.

  • Company ownership should be public and easily accessible information to begin with.

  • The far-right problem is worse in speech-controlled Europe than in the First Amendment USA.

    You sure about that? Last time I looked nobody was openly advocating ending elections in Europe and enjoying support from nearly half of the population.

  • it was decided to land the bird, due to some control functionality failures

    Some decision. Either you are going down controllably or uncontrollably. And by the looks of it, it seems to have been a rather uncontrolled descent.

  • a month of walking and leftovers for lunch

    probably did more good for your own health than the car repair would have

  • But the czarist system has the feature that given enough fuckups, the czar is removed in a palace coup. And given that the oligarchs have been hit quite hard by sanctions and that the "Special" military operation hasn't exactly gone to plan. It seems only a matter of time before it happens.

  • 3° is looking more and more likely. 1.6° is already certain.

  • The best story I read about the defence of Hostomel was that UAF was handing out weapons to civilians in order to defend the airport.

  • At the time quite a few people doubted the existence of the extermination camps. But when they were liberated and journalists got to visit them the cat was out of the bag.

  • That alone should be enough for any rational voter to stay away from him. But alas, voters aren't rational beings.

  • The UN estimate has always been too large. Its methodology is flawed.

    More realistic estimate would be that the population will start to fall sooner. Around 2040-2060.

  • When choosing a crypto algorithm the answer is almost never "roll your own".

  • Inclined plane. Arguably older than fire. Used as a part of a pointy stick.

  • Don't forget rampant nationalism and outside meddling mixed in.

  • Romanian government, Ukraine, NATO

    Shooting down Russian drones in Ukrainian airspace is a serious escalation. The drones are in Romanian airspace for mere seconds.

    Also Romania needs all the allies it can get. So it will not piss off its NATO allies.

  • It seems obvious that Netanyahu does not want peace. This war is the only thing keeping him in power. There is no incentive for him to seek peace.

  • Read some interviews of Russian artists from the soviet-era and you'll get an idea.

  • Says someone who hasn't tasted one produced in last three years. Their taste has improved significantly.

  • Why didn't two go to the party?

    Because he had no one to go with.
