"People also like John Lennon or Rage Against The Machine without turning into communists (much to the artists’ disappointment, I think). " Or The Refused. They added a (simple) manifest to their LP and literally expected that whe

Dude. You are free to keep your knowledge about things without reading about them, if you like. I don't actually know what your point here is at all, except that you want to continue worship or admire Selassi because he happened to be
933.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
He is not alive anymore, so he cannot tell you. And regarding about what he thought about those people, you can really find in any of his books. But like other people already hinted at you: the book about Haile Selassi was mainly a attack o

If that is your take, ok. But maybe you should read more about Kapuściński than his name, because I do think he was qualified to write about power and oppression. No matter the skin color.

"It's like saying you like gospel or byzantine chant except for the christian lyrics." I do actually (some of it, sometimes). Also yes, there is lots of reggae without Haile Selassi. Also I can make a difference between what

by hutzlibu 3y ago
I love reggae and most of the vibes rasta people bring. But I really cannot listen closely to most of the common lyrics. Praising Haile Selassi sounds only good, when you don't know much about his actually reign. I recommend Ryszard Ka

I think it is mostly just adopting. To new hardware, new demands, new plattforms. There is maybe some progress on a academic level, but I don't think we progress fast on the fundamental level, on how to write better code. There are sli

It depends what you count as free solo. In the alps you definitely can book tours without a rope, that involve low grade climbing, that most not mountain people would consider as free solo. And it is the same principle there. One wrong step

"Every safety feature just allows us to push the boundary further" Yes. Climbing with a rope makes you climb more dangerous areas. You plan for falling (which comes always with a risk involved). When free solo, you do not. So unle

tass.com was not a link? Also I do not see, where tanks on the road to moscow were fake. It was the russian way of doing politics.

by hutzlibu 3y ago
Yes, I totally did not see that coming. I still would be surprised, if Prigoshin would die of natural causes. In either case it shows how weak Putin is, that he has to let him go, after they did an armed uprising.

by hutzlibu 3y ago
"Climbing with a rope is a certain path to falling." Yes. And if you miscalculated, you will still fall on a rock and break your back. Or a sharp rock will cut the rope and you will fall to death. Or the nut will come off and you

"You must not have climbed a lot if you've never witnessed freak rockfall" I did witness quite some things fall, also sometimes with me being under them. But the point of this thread was the theory, that freeclimbing is a cer

You don't recognize the different kinds of rock? Those that are sturdy and those that are brittle? Those that will likely hold and those that will maybe hold? But in case I was not clear, there is surely no 100% certainty. Just like yo
945.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
Not necessarily. With experience you can tell what weight rocks will hold. And if you climb safe, you don't risk a jump towards a hold that might break (those guys did risk it). But accidents and misstakes happen. But they totally can

"I don't think anyone on the defense side considered dropping a bridge on the highway to be a reasonable move." It surely was considered. I can imagine in the state of panic even tactical nukes were considered, but sure, not

That still makes Putin weak, when he, who was raised by the KGB, is not able to get acurate information. (He does have internet btw. and he speaks more than russian.)

"Prigozhin didn't get the support he expected from the military, so he was was motivated to settle, but had enough support to threaten Moscow, so Putin was motivated to settle. Outcomes - a hardliner in charge of the Russian milit
949.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
I think that is really unlikely, because Prigoshin stated that the war was a misstake and that Ukraine was never a threat to russia. That is 100% against every major decision of Putin and a direct attack to his authority, even though he sof
950.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
I don't think anything is settled yet. But yes, Putin is weak. Everyone knows, even in russia, that the war is a desaster. And now Prigoshin and his Wagner forces, who stood for the only few victories in the last time, turned against P

Erm, you can directly check tass.com if you like. They even have a english version. Or really any other russian source. Russian militar blogger telegram channels, etc. (It is a good habit btw. to always also have a look at the opposing si

Me currently neither. But this seems to be his only choice, where he would go on living. I am sure, there are secret negotiations taking place behind the scenes. But he knows, that he will confirm in the eye of the russian public, that he i

How are they saving face? Internal power struggles are a sign of weakness. Putin does not like to appear weak. Now while it certainly has staged elements, the power struggle between Wagner and the regular army is very real. But the outcome
954.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
Ah yes, that is wrong, but I think people who are into russian geopolitics (like me) autocorrected it and had the meaning of the person arrested automatically transfered to Prigoshin as head of Wagner.
955.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
Because russian state TV is a legit source of Putin speeches?
956.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
My estimation: short term it will fail. Long term it will lead to substantial power movement. Most of the young nationalistic russians are Wagner fans and despise the ordinary military, they view as corrupt and incompetent (which might be v

by hutzlibu 3y ago
I think it reads fine, as in Kremlin did this and that and Wagner did this and that. Wagner just stands for the group.
958.
by hutzlibu 3y ago
It definitely is real, that the head of Wagner, which acted as Putins man of brute shadow force - is now an enemy of Putin. This was coming since a while, since Prigoshin stepped over the line many times and he refused the ultimatum by the

Like normal 3D printers, they are slow, but the benefits are, that you can change the design quickly and improve it - and then in the end you can invest into optimizing production with a different manufacturing process. (But that is of cour
