I don't think there is that much chance of shooting war, both sides have too much to lose. On the other hand I do think the intelligence services on both sides are shameless liars and this is a fight over China becoming the "worl

Anonymous "intelligence sources".... Sounds as legit as the super micro back door. Meanwhile the actual real people on the WHO team said they investigated and didn't find anything more than seasonal flu.

If it was a real insurrection it would have been significantly better armed, more violent and more effective. A far more logical explanation is that an unexpectedly large group of demonstrators showed up and when faced with a tiny police pr

Is there something specific about cows that produces more methane than other animals? Assuming we stopped cow farming completely and the fields were turned into wild live reserves of bison or something would emissions magically go down? Or

On the one hand this I can totally see the average politician being both this stupid and this morally questionable. On the other hand the fact that the reporters have been able to see payment details from multiple payment apps and they are

In practice though other things come up and the admin doesn't get round to increasing the TTL back to sanity later because nothing is broken if they don't.

I've always wondered that myself. Those blades would have been so expensive in relative terms that I truly wonder how much real combat they were used in. In any war the peon's get the worst of it. Anyone rich/ senior enough t

Same here. I use the pay version because I have so many feeds but I suspect that's more a sign that I have a problem. The 64 free sites should be enough.

"Biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) is the highest level of biosafety precautions" A real escape seems pretty unlikely. If it was deliberate why release it in China why not somewhere else? If it had to be in China for some magical reason

Its also in active use by some styles of server load balancers. Keepalived in nat mode is one that springs to my mind. The "nat is evil" objection was a moral high horse in the IETF around the time that Android adopted this policy

From RFC8415: DUID used by a client or server SHOULD NOT change over time if at all possible. Read the fine article. The reasons are mostly the same as DHCP on v4. The ability to assign a specific IP to a specific device for what ever reaso

If they had ever approached even the slightest level of acceptance of gold they would have been okay as assets. Now its more like betting at the track. Except that the track is probably more regulated and insiders are less crooked.

No one outside of the US actually believes that. This is nothing but a trade war. Its going to be an interesting fight to watch, but I suspect that by the time this ends the US will have lost more than it will have gained.

That definition was absolutely planted. I was a teenager in South Africa in the 80s and I have NEVER heard that version before. Pedo was a shortened version of pedophile the same as everywhere else.

Its worth mentioning that this is Oranje. Pretty much the equivalent of racist extremely far right preppers in the USA. The current SA government has so many many issues but it's still better than anything these fools could do.
