Putin could simply accept that he's made a mistake and order to stop fighting. I know it's unlikely because he's stupid or whatnot, but sane people reconsider what they do or have done and change based on that.

I think Ukraine would be open to talking about returning former Russian territory in case Russia accepts its defeat and returns all Ukrainian territory...

> this war is lost and partitioning of Ukraine now will save lives Ah, classic talking point. Just bend over when your country gets attacked by Russia and hope for the best... Yeah, maybe that does not work so well.

Well, that's up to the Russian people to change, I guess.

> that they're still restricting them to a certain area Yes, that's what's being reported and I can understand that you want some more steps to escalate and not remove all limitations at once.

"the West" has just lifted restrictions on (at this point American) weapon systems in reaction to continued aggression, and involvement of further countries, from Russia. I think even more could and will be done if Russia doesn&#x

Never forget: Russia can end the war tomorrow. Simply give up and start retreating.

Glad it worked for you! I found that with less appetite there's less cravings, that seems to help me to transition to better food. I hope the effect stays that way.

Wow, that is crazy and like a 3.500 kcal deficit a day. That's heavy and I'm glad it worked for you! I struggle with cardio, simply don't like it, am more into lifting heavy stuff... :-D What weight did you start out from? 40

I've started using them a few weeks ago, how was your success with them?

I don't see the point in them anymore, too. 24" screen size is not interesting and I can't get more displays that do look like the first one. Will always look strangely mixed in environments. edit: ok, others pointed out poss

Last time I posted that I'd work on my first PCB. That somehow fell off the table, can't really grip where the time went. Job is very stressful as Q4 is peak-season for us. Managed to stick to some healthy habits though, like doin

flattr is dead, probably for a good reason. Maybe it was unfeasible, maybe it was greed, but it was there and worked.

The site listed the timeline with Matt Mullenweg randomly trying to crush Automattic competitors by using the non profit organisation as leverage.

I think it was GTA 3 or Vice City where you could place MP3s in a special folder to they would play on the onboard radio station of vehicles. This was the first song that started playing. Heard it so often, just driving around the city. I m

I had to login to several sites and make sure that the plugins would not auto-update. This is pretty much like a rogue actor taking over a plugin.

Just stealing plugins right now? Or is this some kind of "eye for an eye" situation? I'm really turned down from the whole ecosystem by this total shitshow. Seems like everything could be pulled from under running sites if so

I can only repeat what I said the other day. This is all a huge pile of bullshit. Automattic does not like the competition, so they pick one actor in the WP ecosystem _randomly_ and try to force this on to them. For anybody who is running a

Strange article. Vans you can live in don't fall from the sky for free. In the long run they might be less expensive than renting, but one would need to do the math on that and have a really close look at the numbers to be sure. Also,

I want to create my first PCB in the upcoming month. Some months ago, I've build a digital clock, based on the somewhat famous 8x8 LED matrix modules and a 3D-printed enclosure. While doing everything on a breadboard was fine for a qua

Happened to me too and was wondering whether this was on purpose or not. Figured out the blog template is probably broken. Two column layout, both equal width on 100% container... That can't go well...
