There were wars for less. As I understood the discourse, were talking about lots of oil that will be available there in the future - or will not, who knows.
Europe needs better safety measures than considering wars unlikely it stupid… I still can’t comprehend why the hell did Putin need to attack Ukraine, yet here we are 12/4 years after.
Time to ask my GP for a vaccine… I live in Europe, but tourists from USA come here fairly often.
Absolutely horrible. I hope USA democratic values would withstand this shitstorm. Right now I see Trump using Putin’s methods like a true fan.
I disagree about Maduro, but I never supported US kidnapping him. I’d only approve of such intervention to Russia, which has completely different circumstances.
I’d rather he’d do it to Russia. I think both Trump and Maduro are despicable evil people, but if we’re seeing deterioration of international laws already, I’d rather watch Putin being arrested and Russia to be put under western control. But of course, Trump won’t bite the hand that allegedly feeds him.

Thank you for sharing.
I’m from Russia, and I’ve seen thousands of people running from the police over a decade ago. I’ve left the country before the big invasion started, but I’ve heard of small, quiet protests, and even quieter, but organized sabotage of railways that run towards the border with Ukraine.
Many people still support Putin, might be hard to stand up to the empowered majority.
But my friends from Belarus participated in mass actions against Lukashenko; we know that the majority doesn’t support him at all, and yet nothing changed.
I’m not saying protest is ineffective, but sometimes it is, especially when the time passed and the system hardened.
It’s important to protest, a lot, especially when the situation is not dire yet. Not only when people are desperate, but when they’re in discomfort, when the politicians lie, when our rights are even slightly violated.
Now as a German citizen and resident I go to protests, sign petitions, and participate in other civil actions.
I didn’t try to do the purchase, but very nice to know the company blocked the purchase! I was also very happy with the product too. What a difference from the likes of Adobe.
I almost bought publisher last week, and postponed till Black Friday. Just wow!!!
When I use a Turkish pot, I add a little of salt and pepper, cinnamon and a bit of cardamon. But generally, it’s great to experiment with coffee!
How dreadful! For many trans people it’ll endanger their lives.
It all reminds me of what was happening in Russia over the decades, just smashed into an impossible timeline. Small steps lead to irrevocable disasters.
Thanks a lot! I looked into it, and it seems it doesn’t run the last version, but works fine with the old ones. I’ll look more into it!
Thank you for the reply. I need to run Rhino 8, and apparently it doesn’t reliably work through wine. It’s my main software I use professionally, and moving to something like Blender is unfortunately not an option.
I’d go for Lunix, if the software I need for work would I run on it. Thinking about keeping Win 10 on a separate disk, since my laptop is not eligible for Win 11.
Wow, thank you!
I like LLMs and use them a lot for boring task. It’s a nice tool, but I’d love to see it being marketed as such, and not as a panacea or a catastrophe. And gosh, I’d love people to stop shoving it down people’s throats. No, Adobe, I don’t need a summary, and I see it’s a long document, stop wasting time and resources…
