Point 3 looks like a pretty obvious poison pill. That is: Russia could conceivably start some sort of grey-zone conflict with Finland before the 6-month period, and thus (per international law) tie Finland’s hands in their use of defensive land mines.
In Finland’s shoes, it’d be prudent to just go “yeah we’re breaking the treaty, and were specifically ignoring Article 20 Section 3 due to urgent national security considerations”.
I’m gonna guess that most Germans aren’t actually viewing the situation as a zero-sum game. So no, I don’t think the US breaking bad is going to make Germans happier, in general.
Tbh it’s better than strip mining or coal power plants.
And in extremely hot areas, planting crops under solar arrays is a great idea, and can help more sensitive crops survive in areas where they’d otherwise get baked to death.
Seriously, HMart is the shit. The produce is generally WAY better than you can get at “normal” markets - largely because their stock actually gets cleaned out and turned over on a regular basis.
Huh, looks like my days of having absolutely zero interest in going to Dubai are coming to a middle
You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.
Huh. I see they’re shipping right past concentration camps and moving right to a concentration city.
I genuinely cannot wait until Thiel gets his comeuppance, one way or the other.
It’s extremely context-dependent.
If we’re talking about enterprise-grade, five-nines reliability: I want the absolute simplest, bare-bones, stripped down, optimized infra I can get my hands on.
If we’re talking about my homelab or whatever else non-critical system: I’m gonna fuck around and play with whatever I feel like.
This is what I fight against every goddamn day, and I get yelled at for fighting against it, but I’m not going to stop. I want to build shit that I can largely forget about (because, you know, it’s reliable and logically extensible and maintainable) after it gets to a mature state, and I’m not shy about making that known. This has led to more than a few significant conflicts over the course of my career. It has also led to me saying “I fucking told you so” more than a few times.
If there’s a real world screen showing a real world ad to you, you’ve got to be really careful not to lean against the screen with a broken spark plug or some other sort of ceramic shard, because you could easily shatter the screen and make it really hard for you and other people to be advertised to 👉👈🥺
I’m gonna need you to take about 20% off the top there bud
That is some big dick energy ngl
I don’t fucking care.
They’re gonna have the day they voted for. I am completely out of any fucking sympathy for idiots who vote against their own interests and well being. Entirely fucking done.
That is just… a comical level of misrepresentation of the nature and context of Rutte’s commentary.
It continues to blow my mind that this was considered a “kid’s show”, and had daytime airing slots (along with courage the cowardly dog).
People “give away” date rape drugs all the time.
For the record, MBDA has also stood up an assembly line for PAC-2 GEM-T missiles (amongst other things) in Schrobenhausen, Germany. So there’s at least an alternative supply line for that particular model. Yes I know the logistics are complicated and a lot of US components are still used, but worst comes to worst, I don’t think the EU would have too hard of a time finding regional alternatives if our government decides to pull the rug on technical support for that (which would have much greater and more far reaching implications than a single PAC-2 assembly line).
