Ukraine has been decimating Russia's ability to scan and engage targets in the sky. All these destroyed S-series radars/launchers as well as the pair of destroyed A-50s a few months ago, are making it easier and easier for Ukraine to slip munitions deeper and deeper into Russian territory.
They are adding a peaker plant, which provides power when other sources cannot. Solar fundamentally does not fulfill this role. Which is why it is incredibly common to pair solar capacity with peaker capacity.
States are incredibly more powerful in the US than their equivalent units in the vast majority of other countries. This gives incredible diversity in the government and legal systems that the vast majority of other singular countries just do not have.

I still don’t think you should assume of cops they react this way
If one threatens others with death or serious bodily harm, they should expect lethal force as a response. You are not the victim when you are threatening the lives of innocents.
NATO was on the decline in the last decade. There were many articles asking if it was just a cold war holdover and many countries weren't paying their fair share. Then Russia invaded Ukraine, starting the largest war in Europe since WWII, and suddenly new countries are joining NATO and members are increasingly paying their 2%.
Yeah, that's the issue with the argument of 'just turn it off'. You can turn it off, then tomorrow there will be another thing to turn off (hope you were paying attention to the news to find out what it was!). The next day an update will come along and turn half of them back on. The following the mental script you made to will stop working because they moved half the settings, etc, etc, etc.
It's a never ending battle as Microsoft fundamentally does not respect their paying users. Microsoft could add a top-level toggle box to automatically disable bloatware, telemetry, and the privacy nightmare that is OP's story about how the OS records everything you do, but they don't have this. They don't want you turning this stuff off, they don't respect you.
That thing hit a wall of mines! Counted at least three explosions within a second, and then another at the end when the crew was bailing which I assume was an AP mine.
Yeah, it will accomplish ensuring poor people have a harder time exercising their rights. Apparently that is something California is very interested in.
Woof. Credit card debt is about the worst type of debt, only to be surpassed by payday loans. If you are finding yourself building either of these types of debt, you need to immediately make necessary life changes as your current lifestyle is not sustainable.
Quite a few trade skills are worth learning the basics of yourself. Fixing a minor plumbing problem can easily be $500 for a simple job, or $30 in parts and an informative video to do it yourself. It has been one of the consequences of telling everyone for decades trade schools are inferior to college. We are short on tradesmen, thus they are very expensive to hire.
There is absolutely a skill component which one can improve with research (videos) and experience. For your exact situation, you many have considered buying a completely new toilet, which costs $100-$200.
And yes, sometimes you are going to fail. Use that experience to better yourself for next time. Watch what the professional you hired did, ask him questions, understand why you failed and become more knowledgeable/skilled in the process.

We don't yet know if he actually did anything here or not, we will find out when the legal challenges are done. On one hand, it may survive, in which case something was actually accomplished, on the other hand, Biden may have wasted a whole bunch of people's time and clogged up the courts even more than they already are.

As you are looking for bulk data storage, the drive's speed isn't of too much concern. A 5400RPM drive is plenty.
If you are looking to put this drive into an array with other drives, make sure you get a CMR drive as SMR drives can drop out of arrays due to controllers finding them unresponsive. If a drive does not list it is CMR, it's best to assume it isn't. Seagate has a handy CMR chart, for example.
Additionally, if there are multiple spinning drives in the same enclosure, getting drives with vibration resistance is a good bonus. Most drives listed for NAS use will have this extra vibration resistance.
Recent reports indicate that Microsoft has seemingly reversed its stance on Russia, with users in the country now able to access major updates and software without resorting to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

It isn't just students. Interest rates in general were raised from their historic lows after the 2008 recession into the 2020 recession in order to fight inflation. Debt consolidation and refinances were hot hot hot in 2020/21.
This is also why it is easy to find a savings account with 5% interest today. Something that has been unheard of for nearly two decades.
German industry is/was in shambles as they allowed an unreliable trade partner, Russia, to completely take over a segment in the German economy (oil & gas). When that unreliable trade partner pulled the rug in 2022, suddenly Germany is paying out the ass for LNG, reducing factory output, even on-lining coal plants to keep the lights on.
It is simply a bad idea to allow an unreliable trade partner to take over a segment in your economy.
I've been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....
If you have a username attached to a publicly posted comment, people will be able to see your history. The internet is forever. Publicly posted comments are, by definition, not private. Treating them as such, in any capacity, is a mistake.
The biggest thing is to not post personal details, or to even post accumulations of details over many comments that can narrow things down. The weather where you are at the time, what type of car you drive (or your lack of a car), what type of job you have, etc, etc, etc. On their own, each of these pieces of information don't mean much, but you start putting them together and you can narrow things down considerably.
It is also not a bad idea to occasionally throw in some misinformation about yourself. Maybe you don't drive a Corolla, but instead a Hilux.
There are lots of random assholes on the internet. I like when they are forced to stay on the internet and not able to bring their asshollery into one’s real life.
Review sites have historically been almost worthless in judging how good a game is (user reviews are where it is at). However, I'm really hoping this game is good. Homeworld 2 was great; another installment would be quite welcome.
Yeah, that suggestion is hysterically nonviable for a plethora of reasons. Even joking about that would eviscerate the average politician. Not even just the average American politician, the average European politician would get wrecked for such a nonviable idea.
What if instead the government took the equivalent amount of ownership and put them on the path to building EVs? GM could’ve been Tesla without the Musk issue.
In 2009, $/kwh prices were astronomical. There is a reason the Model 3 didn't exist until 2017. Trying to make that car back in 2009 would have been a catastrophically awful idea.
The US government forcing GM to make a $100,000 luxury EV in 2008/9 would have been so laughably bad I can't put it into words. And yes, the $/kwh of batteries was terrible then, why do you think EVs were so damn expensive in 2009?

The R-73 is pretty comparable to the AIM-9X in capabilities as it has some flare resistance, is short range, and can do off-bore shots. Though, the off bore shots (I believe) require a targeting head on the boat itself, which it probably doesn't have, they almost certainly are using the missile seeker itself as the targeting system as it is MUCH easier to implement. Meaning they likely need to point the missile roughly at the target.
This system would be most useful for taking out the choppers attacking the other suicide boats as well as sniping planes taking off/landing on coastal airstrips.
Edit: According to Russian sources (lol) it shot one missile at a chopper, but it missed. And we have video of a chopper taking it out from directly above.
Here is my process for new cards: Pick a pricepoint, head over to Video Card Benchmark and scroll down until you find the first (ie fastest) video card that meets that price point. Also double check prices at PC Part Picker. For used cards, the chart is still pretty useful, just a bit more manual (and money saving!) to get used prices from eBay/Mercari.
I personally have an AMD bias though, since they have pulled way less shit than nVidia. But, that is your decision to make.
