Tell me about it. I have invested in a new business (anyone want a fully custom PC case? heh), and now I have to stock up on food and seriously consider how to live with long mass blackouts, as well as prepare for mobilization to fight Russ

Well, you know how some hackers are hired by companies they hacked? That kind of idea, I'm guessing.

Yeah, it's just that no one really cared until they launched a full scale invasion right at the borders. Probably even then they wouldn't have cared if not for millions of displaced people heading west. So in the eyes of the EU, i

If anything, he will start by actually cutting off natural resource supplies to Europe. Which would be no joke, as the continent severely depends on them. Of course, it would hurt Russia too, but we already see that they don't care. Be

It is more likely that the Russian military is just that bad. And the best stuff is kept for home defense at all times. There is more equipment en route... It's not better, but it's way more of it. A classic tactic from a countr

Yeah, it is quite hard. Though it is possible to eat a lot in volume, but not that much in calories.

The fascist Russian government has launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine, a country very close to Europe, which led to the EU and US imposing strict sanctions including a SWIFT block for Russian banks and seizure of Russian assets. The

You can just use medicine, that's what it's for. Even salbutamol+caffeine works, there's also ephedrine, clenbuterol, and of course amphetamine at the high end. Sad that governments are doing their best to stop people from us

Aren't Quadros/FirePros with lots of VRAM better for that?

I really hope so, since I'm thinking of building a new computer for years now... Intel is releasing their own graphics cards, which is neat. It's a good time to enter the market, for sure.

At this rate, they'd be lucky if they can hold on to DNR/LNR, if not Crimea tbh. Russian ground forces are getting fucked. They could start indiscriminately bombing cities, but that would look really bad for the Russian governme

It did, and a decade later it launched an all out attack on the whole of Ukraine to "protect" the newly recognized DNR/LNR. A paper thin excuse, something a HOIIV player or a deranged dictator would come up with. With no stro

Well, he could've led Russia on the same path as China, making it a true world power that other countries massively depend on. Instead the fascist government chose isolationism. So, the foolishness of Putin is quite debatable.

The Russian fascist state runs mostly on taxpayer money. Hence, as an individual, you can contribute by not funding them. Less money spent on Russian products = less money going to modern Nazis. It's that simple. Most people don't

Ah, that's the word I've been trying to recall while reading the article. Lots of big words, with nothing specific, nothing actionable. Vague as it can be. Doesn't help that the phrase "free energy" drives most peop

Why not? Refurbishing of household appliances and electronics is a big industry, for example.

How do they backup to NAS using the Internet connection? Is it not local?

Yeah Steam and torrents are about the only thing using all the bandwidth. Google Drive (free) rarely gets to even 50Mbps. But for a multi person household, gigabit fiber is great

I had an ISP that tried that. At the time 100 Mbps was the top speed offer, I had a 30Mbps package. Could boost to 100 anytime with one click, but it was ~1 Euro per hour . Used it once lol They gave up on it, probably because no one used

Seeing as coal is just as energy intensive to mine and transport, yeah... But I guess his point was that wood burning should be stopped along with coal, because it's nearly as bad.

At the very least, you would need some therapist knowledge about the person using such a CBT software. Likely from your actual therapist, but it could be done with a lot of self-introspection/discovery - the problem with the latter is

Quantum Mechanics: stuff that takes form only when observed. That's why you can't find your keys or phone sometimes, or plug in a USB cable. :D
