> I think we're all wrestling with the downstream consequences of a shrinking world. You should totally visit Skopje if you get the chance. Belgrade is a bit too cosmopolite. The bad is that they still allowed smoking in hotel rooms

Not everyone voted for Trump or is waving a shotgun in your face. If you don't visit, the Chinese will. And then they'll be making a replica of the Colosseum somewhere in Zhejiang for the unfortunate ones that couldn't.

You were in Belgrade looking up italian ice cream, so who cares? Just point your finger at it. You weren't reading menus in cyrillic trying to decipher the difference between regular and cheese filled pljeskavica while an overweight

Did you read it to the very end, where we all become American tourists, metaphorically speaking. Actually I do not find American tourists obnoxious and ham fisted at all. Demanding? Maybe. That other word is specifically reserved for the dr

They set up new ones, don't worry. And the propaganda is largely on brain rotting social media like tiktok and twitterx.

You're probably right, they would have probably named it somewhat more entertaining, like "Allahu ackbar". "Bomb" is quite boring. Sounds like an enegy drink brand. Which would be be a unfortunate idea to serve on a

Awful joke. There have to be at least some consequences for the kid, like getting banned for flying United for 10 years.

I saw that but it's a bit too much friction. We'd rather attach a SQLite database and copy the results into that. Also no worries about version changes and compatibility, the types are not too restrictive. But we'll see.

Why would you want zuck's minions to see everything that you see when you put on the ray bans? Same with this pendant eavesdropping device.

We recently just partitioned the data into many SQLite databases and got away with it. It's telemetry data from IoT devices: one device, one database. Backups are an easy rsync job now instead of streaming a multi gigabyte database wit

Google confused you. One needs 730 kWh to fully evaporate 1 ton of water. Otherwise it's 1.16 Wh/kg (or kWh/ton) to rise the temprature by 1°C. Thus one needs a delta of 80°C, so 93 Wh to boil a kg of 20°C water. That's

The heat has to go somewhere and that is the environment. 300 MWh is enough energy to boil over 3k metric tons of water. That's 107 medium fuel trucks for perspective.

It's not violence, it's vandalism. Quite diferrent. But why smash'em when you have the right to bear arms? I'd do target practice instead. Improve your shootong skills while getting rid of surveillance. Win-win.

That's why they're called lifestock guardian dogs. Romanians don't have a proper word for it, they're called "shepherd dogs". Bad description. Shepherd dogs like Border Collies herd sheep. The lifestock guardia

It's just that we don't get to enjoy so much time with our kids as we did in the past, that's all. And then we get upset for being thrown into elderly homes.

> barring any large invasions from neighboring kingdoms, or some far away empire (mongols etc). Russians? It's still true today.

Others won't stop it, the'll just invade later on. Look at Lebanon for instance.

The issue with 10 years of school is that we outsource schooling and childcare to others specialized on these matters. In the past we spuld teach them how to hunt, fish or take care of plants, animals.

Mainly because Lebanon is a failed state with arguably non state actors (Hezbollah being an Iranian proxy) doing the "defending". Which is not real defending but pestering Israel with attacks and drawing more punitive action.

by petre 5mo ago
They're not defending anything, not even their families. They're only struggling in an ideological war. Randomly firing missiles at Israeli civillians and drawing punitive action from Israeli leadership, which is all too happy for
